Did you know? The term haunted house originated from the 18th-century English practice of renting out houses to tenants for a short period, often with the expectation that they would be inhabited by ghosts or other supernatural entities. This concept has since evolved into the modern notion of a haunted house as we know it today.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• The house can be colored in dark gray and black, while the fence is a light brown, giving it an eerie yet rustic feel.
• The pumpkins can be colored orange, red, yellow, or green. Theyre scattered around the yard, and you can use bright colors to make them stand out against the darker tones of the house and background.
• The bats flying in the sky can be colored a deep purple. This will add a touch of mystery to the scene and create an ominous atmosphere.
• The fence surrounding the house is tall and has an old-fashioned feel. It can be colored brown, beige, or gray, depending on your preference. You can also add some texture to it by using different shades of these colors.
• The background behind the house can be colored a dark blue or midnight sky. This will create a spooky atmosphere and make the house stand out as if floating in darkness.
