Did you know? Haunted houses have been used as a form of entertainment since the 19th century, with the first haunted house attraction opening at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York, in 1899.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• The house and porch could be colored in a deep, rich brown color like chocolate or caramel. The jack-o-lanterns on the steps can be orange with black eyes and mouths.
• The moon behind the house can be colored gray-blue for an eerie effect. Black lines can be used to create stars around it. Pumpkins and gourds surrounding the porch could be a bright, poppy orange with green stems and vines.
• The chimney and door frame of the house can be colored in a darker shade of brown, almost black. The windows on the second floor can be colored pale blue or white for an eerie effect.
• The pumpkins around the steps could be a warm, burnt orange color. Black lines can be used to create vines and stems on them. The moon behind the house can be painted gray-blue with black clouds.
• A spooky tree with branches reaching out towards the house can be colored in a dark green hue. The leaves on the trees can be yellow or orange, giving it an autumnal feel.
