Decorating Outside Your Home For Halloween (A Spooky Theme)

  • April 5, 2010 11:21 pm

For many people the best part of Halloween is being able to decorate the outside of their home. This doesn’t have to be limited to just the front yard. Decorating the backyard can create a very spooky atmosphere. You can even design a detour that will take each of your guests on a long walk that circles the backyard before leading them to the entrance. This way they get to enjoy the full benefits of your decorating efforts.

The traditional pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns make great additions when you decorate the outside of your home for Halloween. The light that these decorations give off will help your guest to see their way around and add the perfect lighting to create scary shadows that surround the other decorations. Ghost and goblins are an old favorite that can still make your guest look over their shoulder twice. Don’t be afraid to get very creative with these items. Some of the newer designs are now being made inflatable to help give them an even more lifelike appearance.

The use of a fog machine can create an illusion that can make your yard the spookiest of all. This is especially true when you litter the lawn with fake body parts and fake blood splattered all about the area. The fog just intensifies the whole spooky theme. Don’t forget about a special door bell ring that alerts you of the incoming guest with screams, howling or some other unique Halloween greeting. You can even have a host that is decked out in one of the scariest costumes around to stand outside your door to personally welcome each and every one of you Halloween guest.

Add special sound effects that will begin whenever your guest walks past a certain area. You can also use props that are programmed on a timer to go off at specific intervals. Spider webs are also a great decorating idea that will help you to create a spooky outdoor theme. Make sure that you don’t forget the customary black cat and maybe a witch or two sitting in the trees watching the guest wondering by. It’s just not Halloween without a few traditional items.

Halloween parties are the perfect ending to a great trick-or treating night. For an incredible, well-put together Halloween party, it takes imagination and creativity. Here’s are ten great planning tips for a terrifying good time.

1. Choose a location: Be creative – think of a spooky basement, a bowling alley with lots of lights and scary music, or a haunted house.

2. Invitations: Be creative and write funny responses to the “Who, Where, and When” for the party. For example: Who: The most evil witch you know- (name). Where: The Cemetery located at (your address).When: 4 hours before the witching hour” (8pm).

3. Decorations: Use tombstone that glow in the dark or have flashlights surrounding the tombstones. Hang spider webs from trees, carved pumpkins with candles.

4. Music: Play creepy Halloween music before your guests arrive. Find DVD’s with wolves howling, doors slamming, steps creaking … anything to help set the mood for your party.

5. Adult Supervision: Adult supervision is necessary for safety reasons as well as preventing any property damage. Adults can help with the party and enforce rules, while the guests have fun.

6. Disposable cameras: Place disposable cameras around your party area for your guests to take pictures. It will be fun to look through all the photos after the party.

7. Get Help in Decorating: Plan to have friends come over early to help with the Halloween decorations. This will ease your workload and add some creative minds.

8. Supply Food and Candy: And plenty of it. What’s a party without goodies? Try dressing up your food to look like gross things such as eyeballs, body parts, etc. Make the punch look like blood.

9. Hand out Party Favors: Don’t let the kids leave empty handed. Hand out gifts to game contest winners and make up some party favor bags with Halloween candy.

10. Unexpected Scares: Make sure that there are always those ‘unexpected’ scary events at your party – whether before, during or after to spook your guests. With these planned scares, your party will be the talk of the town!
