Candles and Candlabras

What's a great way to get low and spooky lighting which will also give a great effect to your scenes??? You guessed it!! By using Candles and Candlabras!!

The safest way to go is by using "light up" ones. This way you reduce the chance of starting a fire or someone getting burned. You can use a flicker bulb and it will still give you a flame look and effect. Or even better yet use a "flicker generator" ( a flicker generator is a controler you plug a lamp(S) ,that uses incandescent light bulbs, into. Then plug the controler in and it will make the light bulbs "flicker" like a real candle). These usually cost inbetween $25-$50 depending on where you get them. I purchased mine from www.shipwreckproductions.com and www.hauntmasterproducts.com.

I would strongly recommend NOT using real candles, the chance of having a fire is just NOT WORTH IT!
