Make a Spooky Statement with Halloween Home Décor

Nothing is more fun than having the spooky house that scares the trick-or-treaters. They love being scared and you love watching them shake in their boots. You can get the perfect results with Halloween home décor for both the inside and outside of the house. You can make your house the spooky one on the corner or dazzle guests with the "wicked" decorations. No matter what you do, you'll have a ball.

Interior Halloween Home Decor

You can go elegant, spooky or funny when you're decorating the inside of your home for this spooky holiday. You might try a combination of several elements to get an elegant spooky look or a comical one. For those that want to make their house scream with the elegance of Count Dracula's lair, look for candles and lots of them. Old-fashioned candelabras add the elegant touch and cobwebs create the spooky element. You don't have to neglect housekeeping to make your home look like a paradise for spiders, many specialty sites and shops offer cobwebs you can add as a Halloween finishing touch. 

Bats play a prominent roll when making a vampire lair. If you don't have bats in your belfry tower, simply find some for sale and add them. These aren't real bats of course. That's a bit too much "decorating" for anyone's home. Plastic bats offer the same effect and are a lot easier to store. You can even find bat silhouettes to hang in the window to scare those approaching from outside. As a gracious host or hostess, don't forget to dress the part. There are several realistic vampire costumes for both men and women online. One such website is Vampire Costume

For those not into vampires, pumpkins can be an ideal selection. If you don't want cut pumpkins sitting in the house, consider premade plastic versions or orange balloons. You can add features to the balloons with marking pen.

Outside Halloween Home Décor

It's Halloween and everyone expects to see a carved pumpkin on the porch steps. For added safety, don't use candles to light the interior. You can light these masterpieces with string lights wrapped around a jar. Create your own design or use the ingenious designs created by others. There are many different pumpkin-carving kits available. Many of these kits offer unique designs with three-dimensional cuts. Get plenty of kits for the whole family and friends for a pumpkin carving party. Your guests will love the idea.

If you want a super creepy decorating idea, consider coating plastic skulls with glow in the dark glitter. Green glowing glitter is the perfect addition to any bone or skull to make it look like something right out of the spookiest movies.

If you're not into glow in the dark, set skulls atop a single red Christmas tree light and watch the eye's glow with the fires of damnation. Make this Halloween home décor even spookier by setting the skull on the ground with the red light beneath it and two skeletal hands in front. Add the finishing touch of a fake tombstone behind and your visitors will believe the dead are rising from the grave. Add sound effects of groans and moans and you'll have the scariest house on the block.


Halloween Decorations Can Set You Apart from the Rest

If you want to keep more candy for yourself, scare away the trick or treaters with spooky Halloween decorations. Everything from giant spiders to realistic looking coffins opened to reveal a skeleton in a cloud of fog could be scary enough to keep any candy grubbing beggars away from your door. Of course, that's not true, but scary Halloween decorations certainly make an impact.

Maybe you're the type that likes to celebrate holidays in a more civilized fashion. You'll find attractive decorations that make your home dazzle with sophistication, even on the spookiest night of the year. You can use gold and copper gilded pumpkins and gourds combined with a door wreath of corn stalks and smaller decorated gourds. If you want to add a little spooky with your elegance, consider hanging Spanish moss from the porch trim to give the house the old haunted manor look.

Halloween Decorations Decorating Scheme

Pumpkins, whether carved or otherwise, are perfect for any decorating scheme. You'll find many carving kits that offer unique patterns. They can be beautiful designs, shimmering patterns or the traditional look for Halloween jack-o-lanterns. If you're leaving the pumpkins out for several nights, consider cutting the bottom out and sitting them on a mason jar wrapped with small Christmas tree lights rather than using candles. It's cost effective and safer.

Adding glow in the dark glitter or paint to any Halloween prop can make it spookier once you turn out the lights! If you decorate your porch with a fake spider web holding a giant spider, consider gluing red glow in the dark glitter on the spider's eyes. The effect is dramatic in both the dark and daytime.

Interior Halloween decorations can follow a specific party theme or just be "Halloweenish." If you're having a party and want it to be a little different from others, consider a super hero theme. You can decorate the house using bats after Batman and Robin; use the insignias of your favorite super heroes as wall décor. 

Super heroes can be scary too. Remember Spawn, The Spectre, Cloak and Ghost Rider. That flaming motorcycle from Hell is enough to make you grab a blanket and cover your head. Using a super hero theme has its perks. It gives you the opportunity to dress as your favorite, whether its Batman or the Fly, you'll have a blast with this theme and the Halloween decorations that go with it. Here is a great costume site for that Batman Robin Costume

Halloween Decorations Cool Idea

You can turn your family photos into spooky pictures by making a black and white Xerox copy of them. Age the photos with a little thin dark paint, clue them to heavy cardboard cut the size of your frame and cut out the eyes of the pictures. Complete several pictures and attach a string of small red Christmas tree lights to the back of the photos so it makes the eyes glow red when lit.

Why stop at simply spider webs and small spiders for Halloween decorations when you can have a giant spider glaring at your guests. Give the spider a paper mache body and head. Don't forget some hairy legs and bulging red eyeballs. Don't hang the spider over the party food unless you want a lot of leftovers. This is just a few great Halloween decorations you can have fun with.
