Halloween is coming and the spooky season brings all kinds of fun vibes! One of the best parts about Halloween is the different decorations people have out in their yard, on their doorstep and even in their homes. Decorating is one of the best ways to get into the Halloween spirit. With this guide, here are five Halloween decoration ideas!

1. Pumpkins

This is a classic decoration found everywhere - on porches, doorsteps and in yards, and it offers a variety of possibilities: you can carve or paint fun designs. Plus, going to pumpkin patches and picking up pumpkins is another fun fall activity you can do with friends or family.

2.  Smoke machines

Smoke machines add a spooky feel to your yard, especially if you want to attract potential trick-or-treators. They level up your Halloween setup and add a mysterious layer to your decorations. Complete with some scary music as well, this is definitely a favorite Halloween decoration.

3. Animatronics

Using robots is one of the most impressive ways to take your decorations to the next level. Many stores sell life-sized robotic witches, zombies or ghosts that move or jump out when someone walks by. These are sure to attract trick-or-treators of all ages!

4. Skeletons

Skeletons are also another Halloween classic when it comes to decorations. You have the creative liberty of posing them in funny ways, especially if you want them sitting next to the pot of candy you have out on your front porch. Additionally, you can even dress your skeletons up to fit whatever theme you go for!

5. Handmade signs 

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects are always super fun to try out, and using your artistic skills to create spooky Halloween signs is a way to add a personal touch. You can use cardboard or wood and paint or write your own fun phrases and then hang these signs on your front door or around your home. 

Halloween is the perfect opportunity to be creative and show off your festivity, and the right decorations can make all the difference!
