Tip: If you are looking for kids’ friendly Halloween chair covers, then splash in some cute colourful bat or pumpkin prints.
7. Haunting Sidewalk
It’s time to show your creativity with ultimate optical illusion just with a pair of ghoulish hands and well-shaded fissures. To construct this DIY Halloween décor, stick plastic hands to the pavement with outdoor adhesive, then use black chalk to make it appear as if the hands are rising out of the concrete. This eerie look will undoubtedly draw the attention of any neighbors or trick-or-treaters. Plus, when the holiday is over, simply rinse the pavement with a hose to remove the hands and chalk.
8. That Not So Welcoming Couch
Give your little visitors some chills with creepy couch covers to your entrance. Make it more spine-tingling with a skeleton guard and a guard dog for an addon eerie effect to scare their pants off.
9. Hello Visitor
Take your spookiness to a new level with mummy statues. Scare the hell out of the passerby with mummified outdoors. Get a pair of old mannequins and bandage wraps, and you are all done with your mummy statues.
10. Sly Doormat
A slithering swarm of snakes will make guests take a step back in horror. Make sure the rubber snakes are glossy black. Cut snakes in half to make different lengths; place them at the edge of thick plastic foam board and attach to the edges. Place the board beneath a doormat. Tadda! Your ghastly entrance is all set to give goose bumps to everyone.
11. Crepuscular Curtains
Consider reusing those old, shabby curtains for outdoor/indoor Halloween décor before throwing them away.
Pro Tip: Soak your worn-out or light-coloured curtains in coffee, tea, or any colour for some time to give them an aged appearance. If you already have dark coloured worn-out curtains, you can skip this part. If you do not have any, then you can also dig out your worn-out bedspread or create one from an old lightweight cloth.
Consider shredding the edges for a more authentic haunted home feel and hang them outside your windows to catch the breeze. If you’ve ever wondered if your home is haunted by a friendly (or not-so-friendly) ghost, these are the warning flags paranormal specialists have identified.
12. People Repellent Cushions
Halloween theme cushion covers are a whimsical and entertaining addition to your Halloween decor. In addition to the ghoulish furniture, the Halloween-themed design and a witty slogan are enough to add a bit of fun for the passerby.
13. Graveyard
Create a frighteningly realistic graveyard scene in your outdoor space using DIY tombstones. Carve tombstone patterns from foam board or sturdy plywood and apply a weathered stone-like finish with paint for an aged appearance. Infuse an extra layer of eeriness by inscribing ominous epitaphs or names onto the tombstones. To make a convincing graveyard landscape, arrange the tombstones in your yard, partially burying them. To intensify the spooky feel, add skeletal figures or flickering candles, elevating your outdoor Halloween spectacle to spine-tingling heights.
14. Scary Pumpkin
Can you imagine a Halloween without pumpkins? Throw in some black painted pumpkin near your door or if you can manage to add rotting pumpkin, nothing can scare your peers.
Conclusion
As the moon rises and the night deepens, let your creativity take flight and your imagination run wild. With these outdoor Halloween decor ideas, your house will be the pinnacle of Halloween spookiness, creating an ambiance that will linger in the memories of your guests long after the night has ended. Wishing you a spine-chilling and ‘Happy Halloween 2023’ full of festive frights and unforgettable moments!
