Lets Look At Some Classic Halloween Tombstone Styles
Now adays there are many foam tombstones styles to choose from when making decorating choices. Some of our favourite Halloween tombstones are the classic rounded shaped ones. Like these below headstone props examples;
The 1st tombstone prop is the classic rectangle foam decoration. An arched peak tops this gravestone which finishes with square level shoulders. These types of tombstone props usually have carved details such as skulls and inscriptions and these types are the most common to choose from and can be found everywhere during the Halloween decorating season.
The second classic Halloween tombstone prop has a great authentic looking finish. Its grey paint job with black & white highlights give this headstone a very authentic old weathered look. The decorating details are moulded making them more pronounced as you can see from the skull and the fluting on the sides. The RIP epitaph is also raised in this manner.
Thirdly is another Halloween tombstone style that has been around for many haunted seasons – Grim Reapers and other Halloween characters crouching or wrapped around the tombstone prop. These are a favourite of ours for a couple of reasons first they always look cool and scary in your Halloween graveyard and second they save on decorating time and money because a headstone prop like this doesnât need any extra ground breakers or other props – it is complete outdoor yard decoration as it stands.
