Gloomy lighting

Create the appropriate mood with dim and moody lighting. Use garlands in orange, purple or green to create an eerie glow. You can place candles inside an elaborately carved Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin, a symbol of Halloween. Light candles and place them throughout the room – this will create mysterious lighting.

Haunted house entrance

Create a grand entrance to your haunted house. Hang a black curtain or drapery at the front door and add spooky signs like “Enter If You Dare” or “Beware of Ghosts.” You can hang ghost figures or ghosts from white fabrics so that they slowly sway with the flow of air. Decorate your porch or entryway with lots of little pumpkins that you can decorate or have scary faces carved into.

Creepy insects

Bring creepy crawlies to life with faux spiders, webs and insects. Scatter them around different parts of the room, hang them from the ceiling or place them on tables and shelves. To add even more spookiness, use glow-in-the-dark spiders or electronic bugs that are activated remotely. Hang artificial spider webs in the corners and walls of the room, and then add plastic or textile spiders.

Sinister centerpieces

Create spooky centerpieces in the center of the table. Fill glass jars with water colored with food coloring and add floating candles or plastic eyeballs. You can also use pumpkins as a centerpiece by carving out evil faces or painting them in spooky colors. Surround them with fall leaves or dried flowers to give them an autumnal touch. Prepare drinks that look like bottled potions or poisons by adding some decorative labels.

Ghost Wall Art

Transform your walls into works of art with Halloween themed decorations. Hang scary artwork or posters of sinister characters on your walls. You can also use removable wall decals or stick-on silhouettes of bats, witches or ghosts to add an extra spooky touch. Place cardboard cutouts of zombies, plastic skeletons or individual bones, monsters and other scary creatures on the walls.
