45 Creative Halloween Decorations That Are So Good, There’s Almost No Competition
Halloween can be expressed as a mathematical equation. Much like the Powerpuff Girls, Halloween is made up of three parts (plus an accidentally-added extra ingredient to the concoction — Chemical X). First, there are the costumes — not much of a holiday without pretending to be courageous heroes and nefarious villains! Next, of course, there’s the candy. Delicious. Sweet. Deliciously sweet. Finally, there are the spooky decorations, without which Halloween would be just another cosplay party where we binge on chocolate.
In the final rush towards Halloween, Bored Panda brings you the most creative, the most original, the very best decorations to show you how some people go all-out for the scariest of nights! Upvote your fave decorations and share the link with your friends and family for some inspiration that doesn’t revolve around carving pumpkins into Jack-o’-lanterns.
Scroll down for Bored Panda’s interview with the foremost expert on Halloween on Earth, author Lesley Bannatyne. We talked to her about the meaning of Halloween and how it can be as much about silliness and having fun as it is about seriousness and darkness.

Successful decorations are those that make you stop in your tracks and do a double take. Whether it’s a giant dragon, a massive guillotine, or a ‘body’ trapped underneath a garage door, we can’t help ourselves being fascinated by what’s gory and unexpected. We just wish we thought of some of these ourselves.
Bored Panda talked to Halloween expert Bannatyne about what her interpretation of the holiday is: whether it’s gritty and dark owing to its history, or something else entirely.
“Halloween’s never been dark for me. If anything, Halloween has always brought a little light to the darkness,” Bannatyne proclaimed.

“We impersonate the things we’re scared of or try to meet them face to face in a haunted attraction or cornfield. I heard Joe Hill once talk about his horror writing, saying: ‘You kick the darkness until it bleeds light.’ That’s how I think of Halloween,” she explained.

Bannatyne went into detail about the essence of what Halloween is all about: “At its core, Halloween was a warning.
“Two thousand years ago, people in northwestern Europe gathered together, brought their animals to shelter, and prepared for the deathly, dangerous season of cold and dark.
“Today, in parts of the country [the United States] that have a cold season, Halloween’s the last outdoor hurrah, a big blast of fun, like opening the fireplugs one last time before we go back inside and wait for spring.”

Deadly Halloween Tableau Too Realistic For Some. Neighbours Called 911
The problem is, Halloween doesn't prevent people from dying. This would look real to someone passing by at some distance, and if it was real, they SHOULD call 911. You don't want a boy-who-cried-wolf situation where it could cost lives - so please, add a little something that makes clear it's not real.

Halloween Garden Decoration
My father came home from work with a manikin arm. We left it out for a while to "season" in the Wisconsin weather. The following Halloween he planted it in the front yard. It was greenish in color and scared half the neighborhood kids away. The other half were scared by the speaker he hid under the leaves with the heart beat sound effect on a loop. The jumping leaves were freaky.

Sadly, I live in a country where Halloween is not only not a thing, but it's considered devil worship. :( I, myself, love Halloween, but I do have to wonder, what's the budget on some of these?!
I'm reminded of the old maxim from my childhood: "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."
Load More Replies...I am simultaneously impressed by the creativity and envious of how much free time some people seem to have! LOL.
Halloween has been a favorite of mine since I was 10 years old. And now it still is. But since 2000 my family just couldn't afford to have Halloween ever again, because of our new Pastor in our Church. He told our Church Members , that Halloween was of the Devil, and that we should never have anything to do with it. But , to this day I just can't get enough of Halloween. Mother died in 2008, Father died 2020.
And here I am, in The Netherlands, where no one gives a flying F about halloween. :-[ I haven't seen ANYTHING here, apart from a random pumpkin here and there. Oh well, our house was in full gear anyway, ha!
Maybe I watched way too much stories about real crime cases recently, but isn't halloween the best time to get rid off a dead body? Just put some wax/ plastic over the face to make it look a bit fake and drop it as decoration somewhere and people checking how realistic it looks will destroy all evidence.
I know I've read a mystery story with a similar theme - an art gallery with very realistic looking sculptures that turned out to be bronzed corpses.
