Most villages with populations under 250 are known for their quiet charm, and Solz, Germany, is undoubtedly no different. Still, it has also become known for something entirely different, thanks to AtmosFANs Conny and Christian K. Their elaborate “Horror House of Solz” seemingly packs more props than local residents and, once again, proves that sometimes the most memorable haunts appear in the most unexpected places.
Conny and Christian have created an incredibly detailed display that would be impressive anywhere, but feels especially remarkable here amongst the gentle hills of central Germany. Every corner of the property is filled with carefully crafted props, atmospheric lighting, and spooky decorations that create an immersive Halloween experience.
It’s hard to know where to begin, but because we’re AtmosFX and we are drawn to such things, we’ll start with the masterful archway featuring Hollusion Projection Material. Stretched tight and expertly positioned amongst all the other props and lights, the material becomes virtually invisible. And that makes it easy to project the Demonic Poltergeist from Phantasms Decoration Collection onto it, who appears to materialize from thin air within the archway, creating a genuinely startling effect.
Of course, calling attention to the above should not diminish the remarkable amount of detail throughout the entire display. No matter where you look there are haunting little pleasures, from the carefully arranged graveyard scene, to the spooky dolls that seem to linger around the property, to the elaborate archway decorated with moss, skulls and atmospheric props.
“The residents and our neighbors are very enthusiastic about the decorations we put up every year,” they tell us. “Every year, it gets a little more impressive.”
In a small village like this, word travels fast, and it’s clear that Conny and Christian’s Halloween artistry has become a beloved annual tradition that brings the community together in celebration of the spooky season. We can’t wait to see what they have in store for this year!
