Scary Halloween Decorations
for Your Porch

If you choose to use scary Halloween decorations for your porch, be creative and create an eerie, spooky Halloween scene that's sure to be a big hit in the neighborhood. Some neighborhoods actually have haunted house block parties. But not all porches have to be scary for Halloween; we have other great ideas for outdoor Halloween decorations you can use too!

Scary halloween decorations

Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble.
- - - Shakespeare "Macbeth"

For those that really get into the "Halloween of things" we found a neat online store that is all-out Halloween:: SpiritHalloween.com. Here are some Halloween decorations that could give your porch real "ghoulish appeal.

cemetary entrance

Combine animation with your static displays to make your outdoor Halloween decorations come alive! For a graveyard scene,include a zombie that moans and groans and appears to be coming out of the ground.

You will want to have massive spider webs spilling out from the corners of your porch. Be sure to include some larger than life spiders-you can even find glow in the dark ones that look realistic.

Ghosts are easy to make

Use white garbage bags or even old white sheets and make effective scary Halloween decorations. By using a cross type frame made of broomsticks, you can add dimension to your ghost and even have him “standing” along the walk way to your front door. Smaller ghosts could be hung from the ceiling to sway in the breeze.



Just before your trick or treaters climb your porch steps have them met by a six-foot reaper that is sound activated. You can find scary Halloween masks and oodles of other scary Halloween items at SpiritHalloween.com.

Halloween skeleton


Conjure more than any spooky scene with an amazing special effects fog machine! Relatively inexpensive, you can create the nostalgic mists of the Black Lagoon, Jack the Ripper's London, or the fog that looms over cemeteries.

Fog machines create an sense of mystery and suspense just like in the old horror movies. As an extra bonus you can use the fog machine on dance floors, at wedding receptions, and other events.

Halloween music

To create a haunted house look on your porch opt for a LED skull candelabra prop. Combine this with animated haunted books placed beside the trick or treat candy bucket!

Add to that some great haunted Halloween music. We found 98 Haunted Halloween Sounds that you can play to add a few chills to the night!

Make a crypt look like it has been opened and strategically place a Mummy on your porch, making it look like he has risen from the dead! Scary Halloween decorations can be SO fun for your family!
