Create a Haunted House
Show off your spooky creativity and frighten friends, family and trick-or-treaters by turning your home into a haunted house. Combine store-bought decorations with homemade Halloween creations to save money and add a personal touch. Front Yard Haunt the front yard first.
- Line fake gravestones along your walkway to set the frightful stage. Buy them premade, or make them yourself using foam or cardboard and spray paint.
- Give your front porch a creepy makeover. Perch eerie, fake birds near your doorway, and hang cobwebs anywhere you can reach.
- Place creepy-crawlies, like plastic spiders, everywhere.
Backyard The backyard is a fantastic blank canvas.
- Have a lot of space? Add scary inflatable figures — the designs get more elaborate every year, and they store easily when deflated.
- Pumpkins are a festive option. Pile these bright-orange gourds on top of black cloth–covered hay bales or boxes.
- Subtle yet scary decorative touches also go a long way. Attach craft-foam eyes slathered in glow-in-the-dark paint on your outdoor trees using double-sided tape.
- Add glow-in-the-dark paint to pumpkins, too.
Kitchen Continue the Halloween decor inside your home. Start in the kitchen.
- Turn an inexpensive, thrift-store stockpot into a spooky kitchen-table centerpiece. Just add dry ice and warm water for frightfully fun fog! Always wear gloves when you handle dry ice and always store it in a ventilated container.
- Throwing a Halloween dinner party? Decorate your chairs to look like black cats. Purchase a few yards of black, furry fabric, and yellow and black felt. Cut the fabric into long strips about 1 to 1-1/2-feet wide (long enough to cover your dining room chairs). Cut the yellow felt into small almond-shaped eyes. Then, cut the black felt into triangles. Drape a fabric strip over each chair, and glue the yellow eyes and black-triangle ears onto your new black-cat decorative seating.
Living Room Turn your once-peaceful living room into a monster’s lair.
- Swap your regular light bulbs with black light or colored bulbs.
- Add candles for a fun, ghoulish effect. Just monitor them at all times.
- Attach creepy-creature cutouts to the walls — think spiders and rats.
- Download a Halloween playlist, and play scary background music.
