4. “Antique Library & Book Nook”

Turn the trunk into a cozy vintage library nook: old leather-bound books (real or faux), a small vintage lamp (battery-powered), a rolled rug or throw blanket, wooden crates for candy, twinkle lights, and a typographic banner reading “Storytime Treats” in an old-typewriter-style font.
Why it works: Elegant, less overtly spooky, appealing to families who want classy décor.
Setup Tips: Use warm LED “candle” lights for ambiance. Place a fabric back-panel of bookcase print or actual books stacked. Have a small sign inviting kids to pick a treat after “reading” a clue or quick story prompt.
