  Digital photo frames are more than just a charming way to display family photos. They can become decorations for special events such as holiday parties and family gatherings. For a Halloween party, your digital photo frame can be used to house a series of pictures that can set the tone for your holiday event. With a little creativity and a spooky photography session, you can really create a visual effect that will wow your party guests.

Werewolf

• You can use digital photo frames to set the scene for a werewolf transformation. Everyone knows that werewolves take form on nights with a full moon, so set the scene by first showing an image of the sun beginning to set. In the photo series, you can see a man running into the woods as dusk turns to the night. In one photo, show a picture of the full moon in a dark night sky. Jump from photo to photo with the man slowly becoming more and more like a wolf. Start by adding tufts of fur poking out from under his shirt cuff and collar, followed by a torn shirt that reveals a fur covered chest. In the final shot of the series, show the fully costumed werewolf howling in the moonlight.

Zombie Attack

• Zombies are a favorite creature of Halloween because of their lust for brains and undead look. The truly scary feature of a zombie is their ability to convert others to a zombie with a single bite. A zombie attack can be the theme for a photo series on your digital picture frame. In the first photo of the series, feature a few people unbitten and looking panicked. In the background in the photos that follow, show a group of zombies getting closer and closer until they are directly behind the people in the foreground. Show the zombie take a bite while the bitten look on scared and helpless. In the next few frames, the frightened victims can be shown as zombies with a new-found appetite for human flesh.

Stop Motion

• You can use your digital photo frames to create a series that closely resembles the effect of a film shot in a stop-motion technique. To achieve this look, set your camera on a tripod to minimize movement. Take a series of pictures with the subject of the photos moving only slightly. This is a great way to bring life to inanimate objects. For example, a Halloween-themed series could feature a toy rubber bat flying across a sky backdrop. In each photo, move the toy bat the slightest bit by suspending it from a string. Be sure to not include the person holding the string or the string itself in the photographs.
