5 Outdoor Halloween Decorations to Spook Out Your House

October is almost here, and if you have not decorated your house for Halloween yet, it is time to get up and start now! If you have not started yet because you are not sure what to do, do not worry. I got you covered.

Halloween decorations are half traditional features like carved pumpkins (a favorite of mine) and other spooky decorations. The other half are Halloween string lights. In this blog, I will share with you five outdoor Halloween decorations that include those traditional elements and Halloween lights. Without further ado, let's begin.

1. Place a Skeleton in the Front Yard

The first idea is one that will leave the kids in your neighbor gaping at your yard with dropped jaws! The idea is to place a skeleton in your front yard.

You can make the skeleton more interesting by decorating it. For example, you can place a pirate hat, eye patch, and fake sword, or you can add another skeleton and make it look as if the two are in the middle of a duel.

You can also hang them from the roof, or sit them down between the bushes with their backs to the house. You can do this with your family. For me, I love doing it with my kids; it's a chance to spend some quality time together.

2. Add the Pumpkin Decor

Now, let's be clear here, folks! There is no Halloween without pumpkins, not a chance! Pumpkins are a hallmark of Halloween; that's why we cannot exclude them from the decor; we simply just can't!

So, if you want your pumpkins to look more attractive, you can use different sizes, carve different faces, and paint your pumpkins in different colors, such as purple, red, and black. Then, place those in different places in your yard.

You can also stack a few on top of each other, or use them as Halloween lanterns by placing yellow or red Halloween lights inside them.

3. Attach Spider Web To The Outdoor Spaces

Another idea that I find especially interesting is using spider webs. You can put some spider web on the bushes or hang it down from the branches of the trees in your yard. You also have the option of attaching them to the wall of your front yard, along the pathway, or on the railing of your porch.

You don't like the ideas above? Wait, there is more. Try throwing some of the spider web on the other decor structures, like the pumpkins I suggested to you earlier or like the inflatable decorations. Not just that, you can also place them on top of the Halloween lights; trust me, this will give a nice eerie effect.

4. Install Halloween Lights on the Porch

As I mentioned earlier, Halloween decorations are half Halloween lights. You can use LED rope lights, wrap them around the pillars or the railing, or place them alongside the edges using adhesive clips. Opt for Halloween string lights with colors that would give a spookier feeling, such as purple, red, and orange.

5. Put Inflatable Decorations in Outdoor Space

The last idea is using inflatable Halloween decorations. Inflatable decorations that represent traditional spooky characters like Vlad the Impaler, Frankenstein, or witches can add a nice touch to your outdoor space.

Wrap some of those inflatable decorations with Halloween string lights in order to enhance their appearance and reflect it.
