1. The Grand Entrance: Cobweb Central
Upgrade the usual door wreath with intricate cobwebs. Opt for stretchable cobweb Halloween Home Decorations and sprinkle a little glow-in-the-dark powder for an eerie luminescence. Don’t forget to place a few plastic spiders for an authentic touch!
2. Window Wonders: Silhouette Stories

Cut out spooky silhouettes from black cardboard – think witches on broomsticks, ghastly ghosts, or eerie eyes. Attach them to your windows, so when you illuminate the interior, the shapes come alive!
3. Glowing Ghosts

All you need are a few white balloons, green glow sticks, and white cheesecloth. Place a glow stick inside a balloon, blow it up, drape cheesecloth over it, and hang your glowing ghost around the yard. The more, the spookier!
4. Pumpkin Perfection: Beyond Carving

While traditional jack-o-lanterns never lose their charm, consider painting, stacking, or even draping pumpkins in decorative lace. Metallic paints, glitter, and sequins can add a modern twist.

5. Haunted Mirror
Take an old mirror or buy a cheap one from a thrift store. Smudge the glass slightly and write eerie messages like “I’m watching you” with red lipstick. Add an old-timey frame for an antique feel.
6. Floating Witch Hats

Suspend witch hats using transparent fishing lines from your ceiling. Insert glow sticks inside to make them appear as if they’re levitating with an otherworldly glow.
7. Mummified Front Door
