Halloween Decorations for Halloween 2016

Because the month of October is fast approaching, we all know that Halloween is just around the corner and that Halloween decorations are bound to be an in-demand commodity in the local store once again. Halloween originated from an old pagan belief that in the last day of October, demons and spirits would roam with the living. Back then, people would disguise themselves as demons and spirits in order to get the real ones confused. Since then, this practise has been institutionalized to what we call today as Halloween or Hollow’s Eve today.

Vintage Halloween Decorations

Keep it classic yet spooky with vintage Halloween decorating ideas. You will never go wrong trying to scare off your guests to your Halloween party with vintage decorations.

Christmas Original Devil with Pigs

Wait, Christmas devil? Yes, you don’t have to re-read for typo-errors. There is an old urban legend about an antagonist during the Christmas season that is just as a bad-ass as Chuckie is. A Christmas demon during Halloween – we just love the irony.

Pumpkin Treater

This is a small stature of a treater with a pumpkin hat. The idea is frightening if this is a real-life treater, who will suddenly take off the pumpkin head to reveal absolutely no head to complete the erected body with.

Halloween Cat Easel Boards Set

Although these black cats aren’t really at all scary, there is still something freaky about vintage figurines. This would be what you may need to complete the scary display of things.

Halloween Yard Decorations

Want to make your yard looks like a place for ghost, monsters and scary creatures? Then you may want to try these Halloween decorations for your backyard. Since the yard has a large area, you may need to use huge decors that will cover your yard.

Spider Webs

Your home decoration will not be complete without a few spider webs to top it off. Spider webs never fail to create an air of foreboding. Of course, for the Halloween occasion, we can extend that notion.

Victim Farmer Prop

In every Halloween occasion, we will always need a main attraction, which has to be the main scare. This is one of them.

RIP Cross Tombstone

If you already have your DIY tombstone to decorate your garden of a cemetery, then this can also add to the guise.

Bloody Hands Gel Clings

It’s your choice if you want to do it yourself, but there is plenty of stuff like this on the local store that may just be what you’ll need to complete your Halloween scare season.

Blood Splatter Gel Clings
