Halloween scene effect

A wide residential street where every house gains decorations in sequence. a wide shot down an ordinary residential street at dusk, the houses dressing themselves in sequence from the near end to the far end, carved lanterns appearing on each porch and lighting, webbing spreading across the hedges and gateposts, leaf drifts assembling along the kerb, the parked cars and street lamps unchanged, the sky deepening to night across the shot, the camera dollying slowly forward down the middle of the road

A wide barn interior where fog fills the floor and lanterns come up in it. a wide shot of an empty barn interior with high beams and a dirt floor, low fog flooding in from the open doors and spreading across the whole floor to knee height, carved lanterns lighting in the fog at intervals down the length of the barn and glowing through it, the beams, bales and ladder unchanged above the fog line, one shaft of moonlight cutting down through the roof, the camera holding wide and static

Low fog rolls in along a hall and climbs only as high as the skirting. a plain hallway with a bare wooden floor, low white fog pouring in from under the front door and rolling along the boards towards camera, climbing to skirting-board height and no higher, curling around the legs of a side table and pooling in the doorway, the hall light overhead going amber and the shadows lengthening while the coats and walls stay unchanged, the camera low at floor level and static

Dry vines and webbing wind up a banister and knot at the newel post. a plain painted stair banister in a hallway, dry dark vines growing up the newel post and winding along the handrail, small dead leaves opening along them and webbing filling the gaps between the spindles, the carpet on the treads darkening under the growth, the wall and the light fitting unchanged, the vines coming to a stop and knotting at the top newel, the camera climbing the flight with the growth

Webbing grows out of the corners and strings itself between the books. a plain bookshelf in a bright living room, grey webbing beginning at the top corners and spreading outward along the shelf edges, stringing itself between the book spines and hanging in loose swags that sway slightly, dust gathering on the top surfaces as it goes, the books and the wall behind staying exactly where they are, the room light dimming and cooling as the webbing thickens, the camera tracking slowly along the shelf

Bare porch steps gain carved lanterns that light in order up the flight. a bare front porch with four empty concrete steps in late afternoon, carved pumpkin lanterns appearing one at a time on each step from the bottom up and lighting in the same order, their glow throwing carved faces onto the wall beside them, a fallen-leaf drift assembling itself in the corner, the paint, door and railings unchanged, the daylight cooling towards dusk across the sequence, the camera tilting up the steps

A wide bare warehouse where rows of pumpkins carve and light together. a wide shot of a bare concrete warehouse with rows of plain pumpkins set out in a grid on the floor under strip lights, the strip lights cutting out, then every pumpkin carving itself at once with the cut pieces dropping to the concrete, and a warm glow rising inside all of them so their carved faces throw a grid of light patterns across the far wall, the camera pulling back high and wide

A whole pumpkin cuts its own face and a candle glow rises inside it. a whole uncut pumpkin on a kitchen worktop, the lid separating and lifting off on its own, then triangular eyes and a jagged mouth cutting themselves out from inside with the cut pieces pushing outward and dropping onto the worktop, seeds and pulp visible at the edges, a warm candle glow rising inside and throwing the carved shapes onto the tiles behind, the lid settling back on, the camera close and square to the pumpkin

A wide field of weathered stones where webbing and dry grass take over. a wide shot of a field of plain weathered upright stones under a grey sky, dry grass growing up around their bases, pale webbing stretching between the stones in long spans and lifting in the wind, moss and lichen spreading up the faces of the nearest stones, the stones themselves uncarved and unmarked, the sky darkening from grey to deep blue, the camera drifting slowly sideways across the field

An ordinary garden shed grows rows of jars that light one by one. the inside of an ordinary garden shed with tools on hooks, lengths of twine dropping from the rafters and glass jars rising to hang on them in rows, each jar filling with a soft green glow one after another from the back of the shed forward, cobwebs stringing between the twine as the jars settle, the tools, bench and window unchanged, the daylight through the pane going dim, the camera pushing slowly into the shed
