Frankenstein and Dracula I think fit into the classics category. Don't forget to take pictures.

what about a classic movie horror stars last meal type of thing. ya know dracula, mummy, swampthing, wolfman. They could all be sitting down to dinner in a pic of a room. Then you could do a various room on each wall. Just a thought.

That's actually a really cool idea but not what Im looking for.
But believe me that is a really cool idea, I like that. It would be a cool framed painting too!

what about a laboratory, the headless horseman, and bags-o-candy.

Don't forget the monster mash with the "Crypt Kicker Five"... this is actualy a scene I would like to do with bluckys. a five piece band with bluckys animated to the monster mash.

You could have a scene with a haunted house with ghosts, witches, and bats flying around and haunted trees with evil-looking vultures sitting in it with a full blood moon going on.

have you considered doing part of the room with blacklight paint? It is clear in normal light and glows in blacklight. You could end up with two different motif's going on, one for day, one for the blacklight. Here is one place that has the paints... http://www.clearneon.com/demo.php I'm sure there are others.

You could always have the classic Phantom playing the decrepit old pipe organ, with ghosts, bats, spiders, etc. coming out of the pipes.

The haunted house on the hill
Scarecrow
Zombies
Jack-o-lanterns
A string of TOTs walking up towards the haunted house
I like the Phantom or a ghostly figure playing the organ idea, but I would do ghosts/spirits flying out of the pipes.

A lot depends upon how much room you have to paint on, if it is all one wall, then it maybe a bit crowded if you try top put everything on it. Keep in mind that you will have furniture and other stuff that will be in the room, so spending weeks of labor on stuff that you know is going to be covered up may be an excersize in futility.
If you can paint the ceiling, then you might consider doing a nighttime skyline, with stars, the moon, with clouds and a sillouette or two, the flying spirits or ghosts from the organ, etc.
Lots of possibilities though.

I like the "a nighttime skyline, with stars, the moon, with clouds and a sillouette or two, the flying spirits" idea with TOTS and a haunted house
