Create the scene

1. Mark the boundary
Drape the yellow crime scene tape diagonally between porch posts or around a section of the lawn. Keep the entrance and walking route clear.

2. Place the main prop
Lay the fully wrapped black-and-silver Halloween dummy on the lawn beside the steps. Position it where visitors can see it without blocking their approach.

3. Add the evidence markers
Place two numbered markers in front of the wrapped prop and arrange a few more along the steps. A little space between each marker keeps the scene deliberate.

4. Light the entrance
Hang the red flicker-flame string lights above the porch, following the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Their red glow ties the scene together after dark.

5. Give visitors fair warning
Position the vintage-style “No Trespassing — We’re Tired of Hiding the Bodies” sign beside the entrance for a touch of dark humour.

6. Set out the evidence
Arrange two kraft evidence bags on an existing side table. The printed investigation details bring the crime scene theme into the porch styling.

7. Finish with a few bloody details
Apply the bloody handprint stickers to suitable glass panes. Add a few theatrical fake-blood drops where permitted by the product’s surface instructions. Test an inconspicuous area first and keep walking surfaces clear.
