Did you know? The term Haunted House was first used in the 1880s to describe homes that were believed to be inhabited by ghosts or spirits, and it has since become a popular theme in horror movies and literature.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• Here are five specific coloring ideas for a Haunted House:
• Spooky Sunset: Color the sky above the house a deep orange-yellow, then add purple and pink hues to the clouds. Use black to create spooky details like bats and spider webs.
• Moonlit Night: Color the moonlight shining on the front door silver, with rays of light extending outward in white and gray. Add a dark blue or indigo sky to set off the eerie glow.
• Glowing Jack-o-Lanterns: Use bright orange for the pumpkins bodies and green for their stems. Add yellow and red highlights to create an eye-catching effect.
• Haunted Forest: Paint the background of the image with a dark forest green, then add lighter shades of green to create depth. Use black to draw trees and branches, adding details like leaves and mushrooms in brown or tan.
