1. Spooky Spider Webs
There’s no Halloween decoration more classic than a spooky spider web.

Hang a large web from your porch ceiling or drape a few over your bushes to create an eerie look.

The best part is that it’s easy to add more tombstones, skeletons, or ghosts as you like.
This simple decoration is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to go too over the top with their Halloween display.
3. Creepy Crawlies
There’s no need to spend a lot on decor when you can just add a few creepy crawlies to your existing planters.
Here, they added a few faux spiders to their topiaries and it instantly gave them a spooky vibe.
This is also a great idea for any planters you might have in your yard, or even on your porch.
4. Frightfully Fun Pumpkins
Pumpkins are a Halloween decorating staple, but you can take them to the next level with some creativity.
These fun pumpkins are anything but scary, and the best part is you can leave them up all season long.
We love the idea of a pumpkin topiary.
This one is made of faux pumpkins and can be used year after year. If you want a more realistic look, you can use real pumpkins and create a similar design.
This is a great way to decorate if you prefer a more subtle Halloween look.
5. Eerie Glowing Eyes
Transform your bushes into a set of glowing eyes with just a few simple supplies. You’ll need toilet paper rolls, glow sticks, and scissors to make these.
Just cut out eye shapes from the rolls and then pop a glow stick inside.
Hide the glowing eyes in your bushes and watch as trick-or-treaters walk by in awe.

6. Spooky Halloween Silhouettes
These spooky silhouettes are a great way to add some Halloween magic to your backyard.
You can even make your own DIY silhouettes by printing out the shapes of your choice and attaching them to a piece of plywood or even directly to a fence.
We love the idea of a spooky graveyard scene, but you could also go for a witch flying on her broom, a line of jack-o-lanterns, or a haunted house.
You can also find a variety of Halloween-themed silhouettes at your local craft store or online. Pro tip:
Add a spotlight to make sure your silhouettes are visible, even in the dark.
7. Scary Skulls
Add a little spook to your outdoor space with a bunch of scary skulls!

We love the idea of hanging them from a tree with fishing line for a floating effect!
8. Haunted Halloween Trees
There’s something so spooky about a gnarled old tree, and this Halloween decoration takes it to the next level.
Use a few strands of orange or purple lights and some fake spider webs to turn your trees into haunted Halloween decorations.

A pair of urns filled with fall foliage and pumpkins anchor the display,
while faux spiderwebs and a skeleton make it look like the topiaries are crawling with creepy-crawlies.
