Every seasoned host or hostess knows that a good party is all about good lighting. If you thought candlelight was only for romantic dinner dates, think again. That same soft glow can be turned spooky real quick with some plastic spiders and a haunted soundtrack. Take a look at these 10 projects for the creepiest Halloween candles. Don’t think twice about filling your house with them before your party.
Pumpkin votives are the perfect way to combine your Halloween decor with your party lights. Place them on your dining room table and your kitchen counters and your coffee table for maximum effect. Don’t forget to put one in the bathroom! (via No Kitchen Sink)
These spine candlesticks might look difficult but with a little time and a foam mold, you can have these spooky candlesticks that will look too awesome to burn. So you better make four, two for show and two for light. (via Make)
There’s a reason these lanterns are called “enchanted”. That gorgeous glow is just what you need on your front porch… and all over the rest of your house. You can even let your kids help you with the silhouettes. Think black cats and witch hats if this scene looks too complicated. (via Adventure in a Box)
Get your old red leftover candles ready to make another appearance. Pour the drippy wax over some new white candles to create a blood stained candle effect. You can do it an hour before your guests arrive and still have the dinner table glowing spookily. (via Popsugar)
Short on time because you spent too long on your other Halloween projects? Don’t worry. Some orange candles wrapped in washi tape make a decorative addition to any scene you have set up already. Bonus points if your candles smell like pumpkin spice. (via Proper)
It’s amazing what you can do with wax and molds. Snatch up one of those brain ice cube trays and make some brains with pink colored wax. Then just drill a hole in the middle and insert your wick. Ta da! They’ll be the envy of all your other candles. (via Tally’s Treasury)
Time to paint stripes. With a little tape and some black paint, you can have a pair of candlesticks that will rival any witch’s stripy tights. In fact, you might like them so much that you’ll leave them to decorate your dining room year round. (via This Girl’s Life)
There’s nothing quite like a bit of black lace to make you feel nostalgic and melancholy. Wrap some around some vases and insert votives for a very Miss Havisham kind of look. (via The Sweetest Occasion)
Candy corn buffs, this one’s for you. You’ll enjoy a Saturday spent layering wax in your three favorite colors to create a sweet looking candle. Not only will they be a hit for Halloween, you can use them for Thanksgiving too. (via Rustic Escentuals Crafting Library)
Let’s face it. What we really want for All Hallows Eve are the witches and the ghosts and the grinning pumpkins. With some wax paper and a blow dryer, you can have some scary candles that are all those things and more. (via Giggle Hearts)

Eclectic Club Design Originating Unforgettable Nights : Epic Society in Timisoara
An epic club design in Timisoara will have you coming back to this bustling Romanian city for its vision, culture and entertaining possibilities. Nestled in a completely renovated and refurbished 300 square meter space, the Epic Society club was imagined by talented Romanian interior designer Alexandra Avram. Approaching the project with an enthusiastic originality, the designer imagined a “wild and free” scene cranked up by oak, birch and string and toned down with soft custom sofas. Mixing in plexiglass and fiberglass details, iron and glass, the designer imagined an eclectic club where natural and man-made co-exist. Nits and bolts, vintage inspiration entangled with futuristic visions, ceiling messages (some in UV paint) and even a Charlie Chaplin vibe are all part of the eclectic club design.
Apart from being an oasis of nature-inspired design within the “concrete jungle”, this entertaining venue places the focus on the music that helps transcend epic people into a world of freedom and exciting possibilities. The DJ booth is the main focus, that’s where the magic starts. Set in the middle of the colorful rectangular space accommodating more than 400 people, it infuses the overall appearance with a faceted, high-tech reminiscent design. The club’s owners, Tinu Vidaicu and Sebastian Raducanu, envisioned a location where people would feel as they do in nature.
Alongside Alexandra Avram, they used the space to create a design different from the predominantly high-tech club design scene. The club is accessible via a spacious lobby, while an annexed hallway leads to the two long and narrow bathrooms. Welcoming guests, a mannequin decorated with mirror mosaic behind “bars” makes a powerful impact. Lights create the atmosphere inside the club, ranging from transparent to sparkling, while the Epic logo shines bright at the entrance.
Epic Society’s managing partner, Tinu Vidaicu, guides us through the inspiration: “We wanted to build a space that inspires freedom and warmth but in the same time maintains it’s functionality. The main attraction points are the DJ booth, which i consider one of the most important for the public and of course, the central bar. The club is designed to be cozy and comfortable and even though the bar and DJ area are very intense, the sense of intimacy is still felt. The project was inspired by the great feeling we have when we are in nature, and this is what we brought in the middle of the concrete city. Epic is nature reinvented in a space meant for entertainment.”
