Haunted Halloween Decorating Ideas

October 7, 2013 by Fresh Idea Studio 19 Comments

Hello Fresh friends, are you ready?! Today, Fresh Idea Studio is kicking off a week full of All Howl’s Eve inspiration to spark your Haunted Halloween Decorating Ideas!  I’m eerily excited about Oct 31st this year, totally into it! Maybe because last year there just wasn’t any time to haunt our new house; we moved in only days before the trick-or-treaters came knockin’. But that’s Halloween-past, this Halloween I’ve teamed up with Hometalk and a bevy of bloggers to bring you lots o’ Haunted Halloween decorating ideas!

Enter if you dare…Halloween Front Porch

You know I’ve been happily haunting the inside but over the weekend, I decided to take it outside! On to the front porch.

I hung my DIY Beware Halloween Wreath {a tutorial on that baby boy later this week} and set up a psuedo-pumpkin patch around the front porch table. Halloween Skeleton SilhouetteI finished by adding a Martha Stewart skeleton silhouette I had from our our old house.Halloween Skeleton

And, continued the creepy 😉 by painting the urns on either side of our garage black.Halloween outdoor planter

The girls and I restyled a couple of $1 store signs into spooky, glow-in-the-dark decorations and they painted some cute little foam pumpkins. I plunked them all in the planters, tied tulle and ribbon, topped it off with spide-y webs. Spooky Halloween Planter

Poof!Halloween Front Porch

We’re done! Not too much;  just enough.

Even the hubs and our girls say it’s looking pretty spooky around here now. {ha!}

Learn how to spook-ify your front porch,  turn a glass bottle into a pumpkin and cast a spell on your Halloween decorating this year. Check out the curated board of amazing Halloween ideas I teamed up with Hometalk on!

    Therese, this is soooo awesome! I miss Halloween. 🙁 After the kids move out and you live in a neighborhood without many children you tend to neglect the scariest of holidays.

    OH my! You have got it all covered! I am so bad about Halloween. I do end up getting a ghost or two hung from the porch by Halloween though! 😉
