1. Allow Candles to Drip

Simply light some drip candles, let them work their magic, then position them about the home for this one. If you put them in scary, black-painted wine bottles, you'll get bonus points for big fright-night thrills.

2. Make a Pumpkin Topiary

Make a pumpkin topiary with painted plastic pumpkins, a barrel-inspired planter, lights, and hay for a wickedly nice welcome—or simply some show-stopping outdoor décor. DIY Candy has the instructions.

3. Hang a Light-Up Web

Create a huge light-up spider web in your yard with LED strip lights to channel your inner Spidey sense. Alternatively, you could simply purchase this one from Walmart and add additional webs to make it more customized.

4. Chocolates Halloween Candy Display

Fill a tiny black bowl with edible "eyeballs," or chocolates wrapped in bloodshot-eye pattern foil, to resemble a little cauldron, as shown in this Halloween display created by Sugar & Charm. If they aren't available, attach googly eyes on candy wrappers.

5. Add Black And White Pumpkins To Your Front Porch

Create a small Halloween-themed "street sign" to place in a pot of plants, then line the stairs of your front porch with pumpkins (paint one black to add some gloom), then make a mini Halloween-themed "street sign" to put in a pot of plants. Emily Henderson has a lesson for you.

6. New Cheetah

Alicia Lund of Cheetah Is the New Black used two coats of Benjamin Moore blackboard paint to cover the inside of her ornate marble fireplace. She then created a cute Halloween scenario to serve as a background.

7. Cloth & Sugar

Make a centerpiece out of your pumpkin by turning it into a vase. Aside from the pumpkin, the flowers and persimmons used to fill the vase are wonderfully Halloweenie. Sugar & Cloth has a tutorial for you.

8. Sugar & Charm Display

Bring the on-screen terror to life with some frightening décor if you're organising a scary movie night. For the table, an on-theme bouquet surrounded by pumpkins and a skull decanter would suffice, as will some flying paper bats for the walls. When it comes to frightening movie marathons, more seats means more strength in numbers. Sugar and Charm have additional information.

9. Make your own sage stick

Yes, Halloween may be about frightening movies and hilarious costumes—or it can be about replacing negative energy with positive energy. Smudge sticks may help with this. If you want to kill two birds with one stone, this is the way to go. At the Halloween party, set up an arts and crafts station with gorgeous flowers for attendees to create their own smudge sticks. After that, your visitors may participate in the DIY activity and take something home with them. From Cheetah Is the New Black, find out how to create a smudge stick.

10. Design a Spider Web Bar Cart

Fill jars with sweets and decorate your table with skulls and spiderwebs. Is it strange that we think this is incredibly stylish? Sugar and Charm has a tutorial for you.

11. Bake Creepy Cakes Halloween cake

Allow the dessert to speak for itself. The skeleton serves ware is really stylish enough to survive beyond the tomb of October 31st, while the cakes double as Halloween décor. And, although the cake designing seems to be very difficult, it's really as simple as pressing the print button. Sugar and Charm can provide additional information.

12. Make a Skeleton of a Unicorn

Pumpkin, Orange, Cucurbita, Gourd, Vegetable, Room, Fruit, Winter squash, Calabaza, Plant, Sugar, and Cloth are some of the words that come to mind while thinking about pumpkin, orange, Cucurbita, gourd, vegetable, root, fruit, winter squash, calabaza, plant

Isn't this front porch Halloween décor a hoot? Sugar & Cloth added seasonal flowers, foliage, and a gold unicorn horn to a store-bought skeleton for a charming rather frightening Halloween décor.

13. Halloween Party Decor Ideas

Even if you don't have a big candelabra, you almost certainly have some summer lanterns (and you can always just use smaller candelabras). Fill them with candy and place them on top of fake spiderwebs to make them festive for Halloween. Visit Sugar and Charm for more information.

14. Anthropologie Lantern Paint

Instead of the traditional warm orange autumn palette, use pinks, peaches, and burgundies in your centerpiece. Then, using a neutral color, paint your pumpkins! (Fake pumpkins may also be used.)

15. DIY Outdoor Halloween Decor

Jennifer Perkins used pool noodles, a rusted old shopping cart, and a pair of black pointy-toed boots to create a unique look. This DIY Halloween porch décor strikes the right mix of humor and spookiness, and it just takes a little creativity.
