Halloween isn’t just about pumpkins and costumes anymore — it’s about transforming your home into a cinematic experience of light and atmosphere. This year, Govee, a leader in smart lighting innovation, is helping homeowners take their spooky season setup to the next level. Teaming up with acclaimed filmmaker Ryan Connolly of Film Riot, Govee is showcasing how the right lighting can turn any home from ordinary to ominous with just a few smart touches.
A Cinematic Approach to Halloween Lighting
At the heart of this transformation is Govee’s latest innovation — the Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism. These next-generation smart lights feature triple colour lighting effects that allow multiple hues to shine simultaneously, opening up endless creative possibilities. Whether you’re going for eerie greens and purples, fiery reds, or subtle autumnal tones, the Prism series delivers millions of colour combinations and intuitive app control, letting you craft the perfect haunted-house aesthetic with just a tap.
Built to handle whatever the season throws at it, the Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism boasts a durable, weather-resistant design (IP68 waterproof rating), ensuring your Halloween display remains stunning rain or shine — and transitions seamlessly into Christmas or year-round ambient lighting once October fades.
“Halloween is the perfect time to unleash creativity,” says Eric Wu, CEO of Govee. “Our Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism are designed to make that easier and more impactful than ever, with endless lighting effects that fully transform your home for the holidays. Families can effortlessly switch from a festive fall display to a truly terrifying haunted house — all with the durability and smart features Govee is known for.”
Film Riot’s Pro Tips for a Hauntingly Good Display
To show just how much lighting can influence mood and atmosphere, Govee partnered with Film Riot, the filmmaking collective led by Ryan Connolly, to share expert tips on crafting a spine-chilling yet cinematic Halloween setup.
1. Haunted House Hues
Lean into Halloween’s most iconic colours. Deep oranges, spectral purples, and ghostly greens instantly set the tone for a spooky night. For a more intense horror vibe, bathe your home in red light to create a truly terrifying atmosphere — think of it as your own low-budget horror film set, powered by smart tech.
2. Eerie Silhouettes & Shadows
Lighting is storytelling. Use projectors or Govee’s colored smart bulbs to cast dramatic shadows that add depth and dimension. Illuminate just the edges of your home or key architectural features to create stark silhouettes against the night sky — perfect for suggesting that something (or someone) might be lurking within.
3. Dynamic Dread & Delight
Smart lighting isn’t just static — it’s dynamic. Experiment with chasing effects to mimic ghostly figures moving across your facade, or create pulsing light patterns that feel like a beating heart. For full immersion, sync your lights with spooky soundtracks or ambient soundscapes, crafting an experience that engages both sight and sound for trick-or-treaters and passersby alike.
4. Beyond Ghoulish
Not every Halloween setup has to scare. For a family-friendly look, opt for bright and playful colour palettes that make your home inviting to younger visitors. Alternatively, go for an elegant autumn theme using warm reds, oranges, and golds that celebrate the harvest season — all achievable through customizable lighting scenes in the Govee Home app.
Smart, Durable, and Ready for Any Season
What sets Govee apart is the blend of creativity and technology. The Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism isn’t just a Halloween accessory — it’s a year-round smart lighting system designed for flexibility, beauty, and longevity. With IP68-rated waterproofing and an easy installation process, homeowners can enjoy rich, programmable colour experiences from Halloween through New Year’s and beyond.
Whether you’re crafting a haunted mansion aesthetic or simply adding festive fall warmth, Govee’s latest lighting technology makes it effortless to design a display that stands out on your street — and on social media.
So this Halloween, don’t settle for ordinary. With Govee’s Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism and Film Riot’s creative tips, your home can become the ultimate neighbourhood haunt — a dazzling blend of smart technology, artistry, and spine-tingling flair.
