Three different ways to set the scene for Halloween.

Colour washes can change the feel of walls, trees and entrances.

Projected patterns can add texture and shadows to a plain surface.

Low fog can create a layer of atmosphere close to the floor where the venue and conditions suit.

Each creates a different result. The starting point is the scene you want your guests to walk into.

Send us your date, location and a photo of the space. We can help you explore suitable lighting and effects.

A look back at Light Up at the National Coal Mining Museum in 2025.

Phantom provided lighting and sound for the event, helping bring the museum's evening programme to life.

We supplied:
24 x ADJ 12P HEX IP
24 x Spectra QX40 MKII
500m x Outdoor Festoon

Projects like this show how a familiar place can become the setting for a different kind of visitor experience.

Thank you to the museum team and everyone involved.

Your stage should feel like part of your event.

Did you know we build custom sets at Phantom?

It is about creating something that fits the idea and works in the space, with the practical details considered alongside the finished look.

Here is a set we built for Mary Poppins Jr, using projection.

From the starting point to show-ready.

A look back at our work on Devil May Care, with one before shot and several views of the finished production.

Seeing the two side by side is a reminder of how much goes into creating the world around a performance.

Swipe through for the transformation.

What could your venue look like after dark this Halloween?

Colour through the trees, patterns across walls and atmospheric effects can help set the scene for an evening event.

We’re taking enquiries for Halloween lighting and effects. Tell us your date, location, budget and whether the event is indoors or outdoors, and we’ll discuss suitable options and availability.

Behind every live event is a lot of work the audience never sees.

Before doors open, the team may have already spent hours unloading equipment, building systems, running cables, testing audio and lighting, checking power and working through the final schedule.

That preparation is what allows the show to feel smooth once the audience arrives.

An awards night needs more than a microphone and a screen. Guests must hear every name, see every nominee, follow the programme and understand when to applaud, walk to the stage or return to their seat.

The best awards productions feel effortless because sound, video, lighting, staging and show control have been designed as one system. This checklist covers the equipment and people most events need.

Use this practical awards night AV checklist to plan sound, screens, lighting, staging, playback, cameras, show control and technical crew.
