Projector Ideas for Halloween!

Halloween is almost here and it’s time to get creative and spooky with your projectors! Every year, Halloween seems to become bigger and more spectacular. That means added pressure to compete everything on time when it comes to decorations and parties. There’s a whole marketplace out there offering expensive ways to bring your house to life (or back to life) for this time of the year, but could owning a  projector prove to become your secret weapon?

Projectors have a rich horror movie history themselves, right up to this year’s smash hit movie, “It”, which features a projector in one of its most terrifying scenes. There’s something inherently creepy about the flickering image of an old-school projector. Even the most modern models still have that ability to conjure an atmosphere that a regular television can’t provide.
 
That makes Halloween a fantastic time to own a projector capable of showing movies and images. Below are some ideas on how you can use yours for some spook-tacular fun:
 

Projecting images onto your house

 
You can decorate your house in very elaborate ways for Halloween, but there’s only so many variations out there, so most houses end up looking the same. If you have a large enough space on the side of your house, why not use your projector to light it up with chilling imagery, whether it’s the girl climbing out of the well from The Ring or Michael Myers lurking in someone’s garden. You’ll be the talk of the trick or treaters for sure.

Movie time

 
Halloween is a time for movies. There’s plenty of scary movies you can watch at this time of year, with ten films in the “Halloween” franchise alone, not to mention all the old Universal classic monster flicks. So why not project them onto your house (this was done to great effect in the new Netflix horror movie “The Babysitter” – despite the fact they were watching a Western instead) or onto a large screen or sheet outside. You can wrap up warm with hot drinks and gather friends and family together for a spooky favorite.

Just for fun

 
There’s plenty of other fun ways you can use a projector at Halloween, including the use of gaming for kids young and old. There are certainly enough zombie video games out there to ensure that any Halloween party is – literally – a blast. Or there’s more traditional games that can be enhanced with projection or the kind that modern photo filter apps can provide, letting you turn your guests into monsters and projecting their new face on the big screen.

Best Projectors for Watching a new lineup of Fall TV shows

Fall is here, which means we can rely on several things to happen. One of them is the stunning color changes in tree and plant leaves that draw tourists to woodlands and forests to see the sights, and the other is a load of new TV shows to keep the rest of us sitting comfortably on the couch!

Fall 2017 has brought some hugely exciting new shows to our screens, from “Star Trek: Discovery” to the sleazy new HBO show,  “The Deuce” and a Big Bang Theory spin-off called “Young Sheldon”. There’s something for everyone, so the questions are what you’re going to watch and with what kind of device?
 
TV shows are becoming just as captivating and visually appealing as the movies, so it often can feel like a waste of time to watch them on even a high-priced television as you’re still not experiencing them as they should be. If you’ve ever seen an advert for Game Of Thrones before watching the trailers at the cinema, you’ll know what we mean.

Great new Fall TV shows look better with a projector, so here are the top models we recommend:

BenQ X12000

 
It’s not just the leaves that provide wonderful colors in the Fall; TV shows like “The Deuce” offer such a rich palette (autumnal browns and oranges!) but only if you’re watching with the right technology. This BenQ projector has an incredible 8.3 million distinct color pixels, which rivals what you get at the cinema, and it’s also got 4K resolution, which means you won’t find many better options for cozy nights and stunning picture quality.

Sony VPL-VZ1000ES

 
Sony’s reputation for home entertainment is excellent and this 4K model has 60 frames a second video performance, so there won’t be any problems with stuttering or flickering when the action is getting intense between the Federation and the Klingons in “Star Trek: Discovery”. It has 2500 lumens of brightness, which should be fine in most rooms, especially on dark and gloomy Fall evenings.

Epson EH-TW9300

 
If you can’t afford a 4K projector (after all, Christmas is coming and there’s all those gifts to buy) then that doesn’t mean you need to miss out on great picture quality for watching new shows. This LCD Epson model offers stunning video display via 4K enhancement and up-scaling of 1080p resolution with a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. It’s simple to set up and you can switch between aspect ratios easily if you’re flipping between shows and finding that it’s causing an issue.
