- Spooky Lighting: Use flickering candles, string lights, or LED candles to create an eerie ambiance. Consider placing them in mason jars, old lanterns, or inside carved pumpkins.
- Cobwebs and Spiders: Stretch fake cobwebs around your porch, windows, and doorways, and add some plastic spiders for a creepy effect.
- Ghoulish Graveyard: Create a mini graveyard in your front yard using tombstone props, fake bones, and grave markers. Add some eerie fog with a fog machine for an extra spooky touch.
- Hanging Ghosts and Ghouls: Hang white sheets or ghostly figures from trees or porches for a classic haunted look. You can also use styrofoam head forms and gauzy fabric to create floating heads.
