Looking for Outdoor Halloween Decoration Ideas?

Question

I love to decorate for Halloween. We used to live in duplex so had a very little yard. I used to string up webs on a Juniper bush and put a big spider in it. I made ghosts standing in the yard out of sheets and bamboo poles.

We moved this summer and our front yard is much bigger! Yea!! So I'm looking for idea of how to decorate the front yard. The cheaper the ideas the better. If you have links you want to share, that would be great too.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Two of my favorite Halloween How-To sites:

http://www.hauntproject.com/

http://www.halloweenmonsterlist.info/

They'll keep you occupied for months! The are various links to different tombstone manufacturing processes from carving to casting, and loads of other ideas.

I'd suggest starting small, with maybe an area set up, then expanding on that each year. I've got a HUGE front yard and gave up buying or making tombstones because I had so many!

Answer 2

The best way to decorate your front yard would be to turn it into a graveyard. You can find fake gravestones at party stores or you can make your own out of styrofoam or wood. To make your graveyard more Halloweenish you can purchase fake hands or feet or skulls and positon them to apear as if they are coming out of the graves. Adding fake spidder webs is always a neat touch.
