25 Great Halloween Decorating Ideas for Ghoulish Fun

Halloween is a time to get creative. It is a time to have fun and make people smile and laugh with spooky and silly decorations remembered for years to come. Here are 25 ideas to get in the Halloween spirit and have a Spooktacular time.

1. Serve spiced cider in a big plastic pumpkin using a ladle and serving into big orange plastic cups.

2. Make carrot juice for a healthy Halloween treat showing your orange colors. Use black licorice as swizzle sticks.

3. Set up flower vases with no flowers, but just dead twigs and branches you have spray painted black or painted in glow in the dark colors.

4. Hang gummy worms from your ceiling.

5. Buy a can of spider web spray from your local party store and create an elaborate spooky web on your ceiling or in one corner of your house where trick or treaters can view it when you open your door.

6. Build a life size stuffed scarecrow by stuffing jeans and a flannel shirt. Use pantyhose stuffed with polyfill (used to stuff pillows), so the head looks life like and poke in jewelry and safety pins that resemble scary body piercings. Decorate the face with paint.

7. Decorate those unwanted AOL and earthlink CD's, or buy a cheap spindle of CD roms and glue candy corn to them and attach to fishing line or black ribbon and hang as porch decorations.

8. Paint your nails black with nail polish and make costume jewelry out of glow sticks or black licorice.

9. Make some MP3's of scary sounds and screams and evil laughter and play the soundtrack to people you know can handle a joke.

10. Make a Halloween wreath by pinning black and orange candy into a Styrofoam wreath form. Hang it on your door entrance.

11. Find the silliest Halloween jokes on the Internet and print them up and read a random kid's jokes to trick or treaters before giving them their candy. That will really spoon them when they think they are getting a trick instead of a treat.

12. Fill candy jars with black licorice or black jelly beans and attach plastic glow in the dark spiders, snakes and insects to the lids.

13. Make a Ghoulish Garland or Banner by using black ribbon to tie a long string of plastic spiders or bugs and hang them around the room or around your door entrance.
