Halloween offers an excellent opportunity to decorate the house and yard with spooky or whimsical creations. From ghoulish ghosts to ghastly goblins, the holiday lends itself to creative displays of the Halloween spirit.

This page contains links to Halloween decorations.

Halloween decorating is basically just filling your house and yard with whatever you like. There are no rules or no obligations to follow. You can buy your Halloween decorations at many stores during the season. Some stores like Halloween USA are only open during the season.

Buy several pumpkins and, instead of carving them, simply paint faces on them. You can line them up along the walk way to your house or even line them along the drive-way. If you carve them you can add a candle in them and light them up at night.

Make your own dummy by taking an old pair of jeans, use rubber bands to tie off the bottom of each leg. Stuff each leg with old newspaper or leaves from the yard. Find an old flannel shirt, tie the very bottom of the shirt together, tie each arm together with a rubber band. Stuff the shirt body and arms with leaves or newspaper. Stuff the shirt into the pants and tie off with a belt or rope. To get really realistic place your new dummy in a chair on your porch or in the yard. Add a carved pumpkin to the top of the shirt for a head. Place a lit candle in the pumpkin at night for an extra scary feature.
