Halloween Decoration Services at Second Cup du Parc, Montreal

Game Plan? Terrace-Wide Web, Family-Friendly Frights!

Build an eye-gazing, Weather-Proof Halloween Set Design and install a terrace display that’s bold on camera, safe in real life, and sturdy enough to shrug off October in Montréal.

Key Requirements:

• Fully weather-resistant: laughs at rain, wind, and early-season snow.
• Campaign-tough: two weeks of display without babysitting.
• No drilling into existing wood—heritage friendly, landlord approved.
• Clean anchoring with wire and string; nothing sloppy, nothing loose.
• Big read from the sidewalk; obvious from a block away.
• Family-friendly thrills, not nightmares for toddlers.

Weaving the Woh: Strand by Strand + One Giant Spider

We “spin” our own web by stretching Dollerama plastic wrap into long, silk-like strands, then criss-crossing them over mapped anchor points. Every junction gets a discreet staple or tie so the lattice stays taut instead of saggy.

A few hours in, the terrace reads as a high-contrast graphic—clean lines, zero trip hazards, very “shoot me” for photos. Then the headliner arrives: spiders big and small, placed for maximum street read and a gentle jump-scare on approach.

From Shop to Set: Billy and the Supporting Spider Squad

Billy—the big spider with the orange highlights—was engineered to stand out, not shout. We fabricated him on-location and staged a family of smaller spiders made in the workshop for tighter detailing. Once everything was in position, we tuned angles and spacing until the scene felt animated without blocking doors, windows, or sightlines.

For cafés and storefronts, this method hits hard visually without permanent fixtures or patchwork later. See additional assorted installations in our Custom Projects Gallery.

Lighting & Finishing: Nighttime Glow, Props, And Photo Moments

Lighting sets the mood. We traced the tree with a gentle spotlight for depth, then gave Billy a soft internal glow so he reads like a headline act after dark. A few gravestones and subtle accents finish the scene without turning the terrace into a prop maze.

The payoff: a playful, shareable display that staff and guests enjoyed—and that kept popping up on social.

Why Seasonal Events & Décor Boost Your Brand

Great events create little surges of joy: a photo here, a share there, and suddenly your storefront is part of someone’s day. Smart décor is the spark—it helps you stand out on a busy street and invites people to linger.

Good storytelling isn’t just spooky season; it carries through year-round. If you’re budgeting a campaign, check our Rates to map your project’s scope and timing.

Not every tool on the shelf is worth a spot in your precious toolbox. Skip the ones that slow you down, break too soon, or test your sanity more than your skills—the list below highlights a few worth avoiding.

Tous les outils sur la tablette ne méritent pas une place dans votre coffre. Évitez ceux qui vous ralentissent, qui cassent trop vite ou qui mettent plus à l’épreuve votre patience que vos compétences—la liste ci-dessous en présente quelques-uns à éviter.
