Ghostly Portraits
Frighten unsuspecting guests by nestling this black-framed photo amid other family photos. From one angle, people see a vintage black-and-white photo of a young girl. But view it from another angle and her sweet face turns demonic.
You won’t believe how cool these monstrously creative DIY Halloween decorations are.
Spooky Spiderweb
Cast an eerie nighttime glow over your home with a luminous stretchy spiderweb that’s covered with spiders. Durable and weatherproof, the web can be hung outdoors, stretched above a front door or across an archway. It looks equally scary indoors, where you can increase the fear factor by stretching it over a reflective surface, like a mirror. Drape the rest of the furniture in white sheets, and your haunted house is ready for guests. These pumpkin carving ideas will surely get you inspired for Halloween.
Eerie Eyeballs
Transform that autumnal door wreath or a faux-flower centerpiece into an unnerving decoration with these eyeballs that always look like they’re following you. Simply stick one into the center of each flower bloom, then sit back and watch people freak out. And for the little monsters in the house, don’t miss these easy Halloween crafts for kids.

Creepy Corpse
The last thing guests expect when they open the closet door to stash their coats is a cocooned corpse to greet them. Just wait for the screams.

Otherworldly Eyes
The eyes are the windows to the soul—but in this case a soul-eating monster. Apply these removable and reusable glow-in-the-dark stickers around the house in unexpected places, such as bathroom mirrors. Or stick them on a background of cardboard and hang them outside in the trees and bushes. The cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels is perfect; now tuck it within the foliage.

Bloody Stains
Turn your guest bathroom into a gruesome crime scene with strategically placed “bloody” footprints. For added effect, stretch a length of crime-scene tape across the doorway. When the party is over, snip the tape, peel off the stickers, and store them all away for another year. No muss, no fuss…even though it sure looked like it.
Severed-finger Soap
No need to call a doctor—or a forensic investigator—these artfully displayed fingers are actually bits of soap, making them functional and frightening. Arrange a few bars of decorative hand soap in your soap dish, then artfully drape the soap “fingers” over it. Your haunted house will be the best on the block!

An Alarming Zombie
This zombie is coming for you! No outdoor graveyard scene is complete without this terrifying addition. Arrange it over a mound of leaves, and it looks like it’s emerging from the ground.
