Spooky Science of Halloween: Frights and Insights

Chemical Reactions for Haunted Houses
As Halloween approaches, haunted houses and spooky decorations fill the streets. But did you know that the eerie atmosphere can be enhanced with a sprinkle of science? 

One of the most effective ways to create a spine-chilling atmosphere is through fog, and one simple chemical reaction can help you achieve this: dry ice in water. When you add dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) to warm water, it sublimates, which means it turns directly from a solid to a gas, completely bypassing the liquid phase. This process creates a thick, billowing fog that can easily transform any space into a haunted setting.
