“Trick” out your Hot Tub for Halloween | Valley Hot Spring Spas & BBQ'S
What better way to make your Halloween party memorable than incorporating your hot tub? It’s an excellent way to utilize your backyard space. You can set up all the food and beverages around the hot tub and use it as an elaborate decorative center piece for the party. Or, better yet, how about a Halloween Hot Tub Party?
Your creativity is unlimited with what you can do. You can easily make your hot tub look spooky or even dangerous! Your guests will eat it up, or scream, or be dying to get in! Here are a few creative tips to help you “trick” out your hot tub or swim spa for your Halloween party!
“Bloody Massacre” in the Hot Tub
Switch your LED lighting to red and add submersible red LED lights to your water for a more blood-red appearance. Place plastic skeletons, bones, body parts and skulls on the area around your hot tub.
There is a red dye that is specifically formulated for pools and hot tubs. Party Pool!, LLC. Sells a dye designed as a pool additive that will not stain your tiles or your guests clothes. Just pour it in to your pool or hot tub to create a bloody scene and it will filter out within a few days.
Witches Cauldron Hot Tub
Transform your hot tub into a huge, bubbling pot of witch’s brew just for you and your guests. Switch your LED lighting to green or purple. Add some eye balls, frogs, plastic body parts or skeleton bones floating in the water and around your hot tub. The steam and bubbles from the jets will complete the scene perfectly. I always offer a witch’s brew cocktail to match.
Radioactive Acid Hot Tub
Transform your spa into a “Radioactive Acid Tub” for the evening. Set your lights to green. Add submersible green LED lights to your water for an even more striking effect. Then, hang up a “Danger Acid” sign near your hot tub and wrap “Warning, Danger” tape all over to create the perfect illusion. Add some body parts to the bubbling, steaming hot water and “Voila!” Your guests will love it.
Set Up a Snack Table
The refreshments are usually the central gathering point of the party. Why not set up all the food and beverages around the hot tub and use it as an elaborate decorative center piece for the party? For the drinks, consider some glowing orange or green punch decorated with eyeball sticks. Or, serve a blood red vampire drink, or a green witch’s concoction!
Deviled eggs, peeled grapes as eyeballs, spooky spinach dip, mummy brie…the sky is the limit with Halloween themed party food. Pinterest is a great place to search for Halloween-themed food.
Get Foggy
If your hot tub is outside, set up a fog machine somewhere in your backyard to create a truly eerie environment. Stick fake tombstones in your grass, lay skeletons on the floor and put rubber snakes, insects and rats in your bushes. You can also cut out bat shapes from black construction paper and hang them in trees, drape fake cobwebs over your bushes and stick motion sensor props near where people are likely to be. This will be sure to give your guests a scare.
Light the pathway with Candles and Jack-O-Lanterns
Lighting is everything! Consider adding some orange hanging light strings in your trees or patio cover over your hot tub.
You can also set up electric candles or your decorated pumpkins to create an ultra-spooky pathway around your hot tub.
Do be careful and keep electronics several feet away from your hot tub.
Things that Float
Look for some glow sticks at the local dime store. Stick them inside black and orange balloons before you inflate them. Then, inflate the balloons and tie them off. You now have glowing orbs to decorate with around or above your hot tub.
Hang the Spiderwebs
Nothing says spooky Halloween better than spiderwebs.
Buy some and hang them from the ceiling – the goal is to create the lair of a spider. Hang some plastic spiders or bugs on the web to up the ick factor.
It can take you anywhere in the world you desire. Use it wisely and cherish the experiences it brings." Excited by the possibilities, Peter quickly hopped into the box car and closed the door.

When he opened his eyes again, he was amazed to find himself atop Mount Everest, surrounded by a breathtaking view of the snow-capped peaks. He had never seen anything so majestic in his entire life. Peter explored the mountain, feeling a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty that surrounded him. Over the next few weeks, Peter used the magic box car to explore various places around the world. He visited the Great Barrier Reef, where he swam alongside colorful fish and coral reefs, and he ventured into the Amazon rainforest, where he encountered exotic animals and vibrant plant life. But as Peter continued his adventures, he realized that the true magic of the box car was not in its ability to transport him to different places, but in the memories and experiences it created. He met people from different cultures, tasted new cuisines, and discovered the importance of cherishing every moment. As the years went by, Peter continued to use the magic box car to explore the world. But he also learned to appreciate the beauty and magic in his own backyard. He realized that adventure and magic could be found everywhere, as long as you had an open mind and a sense of wonder.
