Or...

You could get lucky and find lots of fabric on sale and drape the walls with that. But the Scenesetters sound like a great idea, and economical.

It is a very clean garage so smell, etc. won't be a problem. I have thought about the scene setters myself and appreciate all the posts. Going to check out Terry's Village now and other places to see if anything might be on sale!

I picked mine up at Party America but I've seen them at Spirit of Halloween and online as well. Another thing to watch for is knock-offs at Walmart and Target. If I recall correctly a 4.5'x50' roll is around $18.

A note about Scene Scetters. The plastic is VERY thin, like disposable plastic tablecloths, so they really should be tacked to a solid surface to avoid movement and damage.

I found this site and it has several scene setters that I haven't seen before. Check out the background scenes.

Hey Peeweepinson, why don't you turn your garage into a psycho's victim-demembering-lair dining room?
Let all your stuff and tools such as chainsaw, hammers, pipe wrenches, saws, etc. covered with blood (and don't forget to widely spray the floor too), some bloody butcher apron and maybe severed body members props.
I know this may sound as a cheap or the lazy man version, but that would spare some time to prepare the rest of your haunt and could be part of the mood don't you think? Moreover, if you do it good your guests would be so disgusted they won't eat anything! (just kidding lol)

For "curtains" or just overall spooky feeling, you could try the coffee stained cheesecloth panels seen here:

Decorating : Halloween : Decorating for Halloween : Home & Garden Television

They could give a nice aged feel to the room, like grandma's tattered old sheers. Plus they would be something mutlidimensional to add to the scene setters.

Thanks Pandora, I printed out their suggestions. I am getting lots of good ones.
