Halloween Decorations
Last year for Halloween I made up
a list of things
to do for Halloween night, whether you’re spending it alone, with friends,
or even planning a party. This year, I
figured I’d continue the list with some of my personal favorite decorations,
perfect for whatever you’re planning to do this year! Can’t have a perfect Halloween season without
some proper spooky atmosphere in your home!
So if you’re looking for some horror-fan-approved decorations, look no
further!
(I realize this list is coming out a bit late and may not be the most useful now but... ideas for next year, I guess?)

Bought Decorations
I’ll start off with some of my
store-bought favorites, for when you’d rather spend more time decorating than
making the decorations but still want a good-looking, questionably haunted
home:
- In My Veins Blood Dispenser: Because who wants to use a boring old punch bowl when you can use an IV drip?!
- Fridge Door Cover: I mean, you keep severed heads in your fridge too…. Right?
- Spider Webs: A basic, but a necessity. Don’t forget the giant, fluffy spiders! You can find both at just about any store during the season, too. (I quite like the blood-splattered webs)
- Caution Tape: Wrap around your door, across the walls, and definitely around door frames! Can also be found at a lot of places around the season.
- Fog Machine: Always a great touch for additional outside spookiness and easy to find at a local Walmart. Fog machine and strobe light combo is too OP.
Homemade Decorations
Sometimes store-bought
decorations just don’t quite do the trick (or are WAY too expensive) and you
need, or want, to get a bit craftier with your decorations. Sometimes it’s more fun to make your own,
personal spooks. Here are some of my
favorites from around the internet:
- Candy Bowl Holder: When you need your candy bowl to match the rest of your décor! This is a neat idea to both decorate and keep your candy in an easy to reach spot.
- Halloween Bouquet: These would look rad any time of year but they’re especially fitting for the Halloween season.
- Cardboard Tombstones: A bit of a bigger project to tackle, but looks like a lot of fun to make and a great alternative to the impersonal store-bought option
Of course, every good Halloween
season needs fitting music so here are some of my favorite songs from my own
Halloween Playlist. A lot of these
artists have a ton of damn good Halloween or Spook-themed music so I suggest
taking a look through the rest of their works, as well, if you need more:
- Left Behind
- Painted Smile
- Dead Silence (Dubstep Remix)
- Welcome to Freddy’s
- Haunted
- Spooky Scary Skeletons (Remix)
- Pokemon Tower Remix
- Creepy Doll
Hope you found something useful
and, as always, I wish you all a
