Spook-tacular front entrance
Bring terror to your neighbourhood with a scary entry. Try covering the front door with fake spider webs or arrange scary Halloween decorations, such as skulls, tombstones and Jack-O-lanterns, around your front yard or balcony to create your perfect fright night. Get your children to help out under the supervision of an adult.
Next up, place some creepy crawlies on your doormat, and set up an animated doorbell to cause a fright to trick or treaters. Finally, use LED lights, available in skull or pumpkin shapes to add a frightening touch to a doorway or front yard. These are best installed by an adult.
Ghoulish gardens
Turn your garden or backyard into a devil’s playground with a scattering of Halloween gnomes and meerkats, including the skeleton meerkat and haunted gnomes which you can place outside on pathways or flowerbeds.
Add this inflatable Reaper to bring a spooky atmosphere to your outdoors. Or for maximum impact, place this family of inflatable pumpkins in the front garden to spook your party guests or trick-or-treaters. Don’t forget to add a few Jack-O-lanterns to amplify the Halloween experience.
Fang-tastic indoor Halloween decorations
Create the haunted house feel with wall decals and larger decorations which are ideal for lounge rooms and living areas with a blank wall. Use a mixture of skeleton, skull or pumpkin garlands, or perhaps our warning tape, to heighten the scary Halloween factor.
Dial up the dramatic effect by draping a large spider web hanging decoration or a large skeleton spider on top of furniture, or Halloween gauze over tables or mantel pieces.
Creepy kitchens and devilish dining rooms

If the kids are still feeling creative after their crafty lounge room efforts, encourage them to make artistic placemats using these Halloween arts and craft supplies. It’s fun to create and it also serves a practical purpose come time to eat. Customise each placemat for each guest to give them a truly personalised fright.
Kitchens tend to be a busy space, so you might want to go light on the Halloween decorations in this area, while still giving a nod to the celebration. A light-up candelabra and a animated talking skull could be best placed on the kitchen island or bench.
