Share some conversation with this chilling chap!
Seat a spine-tingling guest on the couch to greet new arrivals to the party! A bowler hat and bloody white rose attached to his ribs give him his funeral-chic party attire. Place a frightening feline companion nearby to tickle the funny bone of onlookers.

Skulls rest (in peace) on the mantel
Create a marvelously macabre mantel with a row of skulls on display. Give the scene an even more sinister atmosphere with a "bloody" candelabra, cobwebs and creep-tastic vintage portraits. A raven peeking out of the shadows will chill your (living) guests to the bone!

The walls have eyes!
Replace artwork with spooky portraits and statues for an ominous atmosphere. Make guests feel like they're being watched with a variety of spooky "portrait" scene setters showing people who are better off dead. A serene Medusa bust glows green and bursts into shrieks when unsuspecting guests walk by – talk about stone-cold scary!

Create a haunting hearth with a pile of skulls!
Give the fireplace a graveyard feel with a stack of skulls and cemetery fences. Pile skulls in different sizes by the grate as a decaying bundle of kindling. A glow-in-the-dark skull among his friends will give guests a spooky surprise should the lights “mysteriously” go out!

Throw a to-die-for gothic dinner party!
Be the spirit guide to a gathering of skeletons, spooks and things that go bump in the night! Skeletal gents like this one make the atmosphere for your dining room along with candles as mood lighting, a centerpiece of skulls and a dapper dinner guest – he’s been waiting a long time for dinner to be served!

These two are the "life" of the party!

Seat a couple skeletal sweethearts at the table to get the rest of your party ghosts talking. This dearly departed couple is dressed to impress in their "haunt" couture consisting of a top hat and bow tie for the gent, and a hair bow for the lady – they wouldn’t be caught alive in anything else!

Tickle their funny bone with "shots" in the arm!
Your ghoul-friends will shriek with delight when they snatch a drink from this festively freaky barware. Add a scattering of bones and skulls around the arm to make it seem like this skeleton server was dismantled before the party started!

A grim gathering place for reapers
Hang these grinning ghouls from the chandelier to keep guests on edge! These graveyard creepers will loom eerily over the party, watching all who pass under. Now that's some creepy mood lighting!

These pets have gathered for a bare-bones menagerie
“Stay” was the last command Spot ever learned. Spook your guests with a puppy skeleton that’s so cute it’s creepy. Make her the focal point of a bony vignette beside a skull, a starved spider, snakes and a cat that finally caught the rat—it was the last thing he did!

A disturbing skull pile teeming with rats and snakes!
Make a pile of skulls in a corner and it's the perfect hideout for hairy rats and slithery snakes. Up the eek! with a black crow perched on the top. Spread cobwebs and bloody boards on the wall behind it for a super-creepy scene!

Dogs, rats and snakes make afetching vignette
The dog has a bone to pick with the rat! Set up a couple skeletons chewing on a snake beside a knocked-over chair and cobwebs to make the scene look daringly disheveled. Place rats and owls on the fringes, because no haunted house is complete without scavengers – they think it’s a hoot!

Every haunted mansion needs a huuuuuge spider!
Grand-Daddy Long Legs is watching! Make this spider skeleton a web by hanging bloody boards on a window and spreading out cobwebs. For a more bone-chilling look, add a few small spiders around the webs and a rat on the window.

Mason jars + crawly creatures = spooky specimen jars!
To make this macabre scene, prepare yellow gelatin in a few Mason jars. Once set, cut a slit in the top of the gelatin to insert a glow stick and a critter of your choice – we used spiders, rats and scorpions. Add some black gauze and a skeleton crow and your sickly specimen jars will really creep out your visitors. Oooooh!



Enchanting Ideas for Friendly Halloween Decorating

Spread cheer with porch and mantel ideas for a happy haunting!

Gather the witches to show off this chic mantel!



Pop in for a spell! With everything from lacy pumpkins to long-legged friends, it'll be just as fun to decorate as enjoy it after.

Paper cutouts + frame = charming “floating” effect!

Conjure up a magical background using these cute cutout decorations in a spare frame. Arrange the Witch's Crew cutouts in a frame of your choice above the mantel, and then below it add a glitter cat centerpiece, a glitter mouse and a boo lantern for glamorous company. Weave a tinsel garland among the critters for that little extra flair. This witch has quite the eye for detail!

Broomsticks and striped tights make a bewitching fireplace!

The mistress of magic is in the chimney! With the chic and loud colors of this scheme, make the fireplace simple with a witch's feet garden stake and a broom sign. The glittery tights really catch the eye!

Jeepers creepers! Make a kooky wreath with funny peepers!

Eye see you! Greet guests at the door with a monstrous Halloween wreath that's more cheery than eerie. You'll need a foam wreath, green crepe streamer, purple boa, eyeball favors, false eyelashes and fuzzy moustaches. Wrap the foam wreath with green streamers, then glue on the eyeballs. Add neon moustaches and false eyelashes to some of the eyes for silly monster looks, then wrap a feathery purple boa around the edge of the wreath as monster "fur" – eye-mazing!

Every witch needs glitz and glam in her cauldron!

Gather the lawn stakes, lace pumpkins, glitter mice and a large cauldron for the materials. Pile the pumpkins into the cauldron and prop up the lawn stakes (and the mice!) for a whimsical look!

Trick-or-treat, witch's feet!

Looks like this wayward witch had to make a crash landing! Make a pair of witch's feet faster than you can say "hocus pocus." Insert rolls of heavy paper into witchy-looking green-and-black striped stockings and fill with wads of paper. Slip witch shoe covers on a pair of black pumps, then stuff the stockings into the shoes. Prop these silly shoes with a broom in your fireplace for a fun witching-hour decoration!

Witches and pumpkins and cones, oh my!



Use a little decoration symmetry with two hanging spirits, two tall friends, and two witches who really wanted to show off their fancy footwear. Light-up cone hats and a trick-or-treat sign on the door complement the look and make it so inviting that that wandering spooks will have to stop by for candy!

Be swept away by high-flying spirits!

A witch's cottage isn’t complete without a broom! Hang one from the porch ceiling as a cute post for these spirit-like figures. Toggle fishing wire so they all hang at different heights, and they'll be hauntingly cute when they move in the wind!

This friendly witch is just lounging around

She's green with Halloween cheer! The long cape gives the witch grandeur while the cat and broom side beside her keep the scene light and humorous for the little goblins. If you want to add a few more accents, hang ghosts and pumpkins on the hedges below the witch. How charming!

Let this creepy critter spin a web on the porch!



It's easy to create big Halloween character without big scares! A friendly Halloween balloon hanging from a porch corner gives the decorations a light-hearted feel that all the little monsters can enjoy. This silly spider features colorful polka dots and a happy grin, and fits right in when tangled up in a group of webs

Dive into the best part of Halloween – candy!

Of course the focal point of every Halloween porch is candy, so design yours to be extra magical! Hang a witch's cauldron trick-or-treat sign above a bright green candy bowl and pumpkins. Between the bright colors and the broom sign, this setup is adorable without being scary for the littlest souls!

2. Use multi-colored ice for a yucky-yummy drink!



It was a dark and chilling drink! To brew, freeze orange soda, limeade, blue and purple sports drinks, and root beer separately to create colored ice cubes. When these are frozen, rim with a lemon wedge or honey and dip in black sprinkles to get a sugar rim. The glasses are ready to be filled with the colored cubes and sparkling water. Arrange them on cobwebs to make the black cups and colors pop!

3. Layers of gelatin, soda & whipped cream = candy-corn cute!


Create the candy-corn icon without actual candy corn! Freeze yellow gelatin, mixed with mango juice, in the bottom of orange cups and then pour in orange soda. Top it off with whipped cream and sprinkles to get the yellow, orange and white layered look. Boo-cute!



4. Swamp juice for your ghouls!



Create this swampy concoction by mixing equal parts pineapple juice, limeade and green vitamin water, and stir in lime-flavored gelatin to make it thicker. For a more intense green color, use a couple drops of both green and yellow food coloring. Cut small slits in gummy worms so they can sit on the rims of the cups as a garnish. Too delicious to bog you down!

5. Get the trick to making edible cobwebs with candy melt!



Homemade candy webs add a delicious eek to any drink. Using lavender candy melts in a decorating bag, draw the outline of a web with six points, connect the points with three lines and add the inner line. Create on wax paper, let cool and bring to the party for a too-cute-to-spook edible web! Straws with a spider ring taped on make these even more amazing!
