Outdoor Halloween Decor

Only the Christmas season surpasses Halloween when it comes to outside Halloween decorations. Be the talk of the neighborhood with decorations that go beyond those lovely jack-o-lanterns.

Halloween Front Door Decor

A simple Halloween door banner can have a great effect. Arrange some leaf garlands around the door and add an ornament like a skull or a beautiful Halloween wreath.

Tombstones

Turn your front yard into a graveyard with tombstones made from inexpensive foam board and a little paint.

Thinner than the ones you can purchase in stores, you can personalize these for your family (although it’s pretty morbid), your favorite horror film characters, or with funny inscriptions.

Animated Outdoor Halloween Decor

Add a little of the unexpected with animated Halloween items near your front door. These characters can move or speak, but remember that smaller children are often frightened by these.

Window Dressings

Turn your windows into Halloween hallmarks with simple black poster board and a little creativity. Cut out designs of witches, ghosts, and other Halloween figures (pumpkin carving kits have excellent templates) from a full sheet of poster board.

Tape the sheet over the inside of your windows, when you turn your lights on inside, they illuminate the cut out to show your spooky creations to passersby.

Entryway Halloween Display

Make the most of it by creating a simple display of Halloween figurines set on a small table covered with a black or orange tablecloth.

The 4 to six-inch figurines are inexpensive enough to even use outside if you have room enough for a small table by your door.

Inside, you can go with this same concept, even adding spooky lights and garlands available at dollar and discount stores.

Living Room Halloween Ideas

To dress up the rooms where your family spends the most time, use most of your Halloween decor ideas in these rooms.

Figurine Display

Use your mantle, a wall shelf, of even your coffee table to display an assortment of inexpensive Halloween figurines.
Mantles are normally overlooked until Christmas, but fireplaces are a great staging area for many seasonal displays.
