Did you know? The term haunted house is believed to have originated from the 19th century urban legend of Richard Langford, also known as the Haunted House, which claimed that any house with a large number of rooms would eventually become haunted by ghosts.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• Here are five Halloween house coloring page ideas, each suggesting a different color scheme:
• Orange and Black Spooky Scene: Color the roof black, the chimney orange, and the pumpkins black. Use a combination of light orange and dark orange to create the illusion of fire coming from the chimney.
• Pumpkin Patch House: Choose your favorite pumpkin colors (orange, yellow, white) for the pumpkins outside the house. Paint the windows and door with a warm brown color. Add a dark green or blue hue for the leaves on trees in front of the house.
• Ghostly Haunted House: Make the entire background a light gray to create an eerie atmosphere. Use a bright red, orange, or pink to paint pumpkins. The sky can be a soft purple or lavender, and add some darker purple or black clouds to make it spooky.
• Autumnal Scene: Choose your favorite fall colors (orange, yellow, brown) for the leaves on trees in front of the house. Paint the roof with earthy tones like terracotta or sienna. Use a deep green color for the door and shutters, and paint pumpkins light orange or yellow.
