Pumpkins and Mums
Don't confine pumpkins to the ground: If your porch has a stable overhang, like the one pictured here, use a ladder to elevate your display by placing a few mini pumpkins overhead.

People with arachnophobia, beware! This outdoor decor idea is going to give you the creeps. Giant spiders are taking over homes for Halloween—the fake ones, at least.

Arachnids have long been eight-legged emblems of the eerie holiday, but this year, supersized spider decorations are popping up even more on Pinterest, Instagram, and in stores.

There are so many ways to try out the trend. We've seen the creepy-crawly creatures covering rooftops, standing guard over gardens, and even framing carports.

Craft a spiderweb with clothesline-style rope or white Christmas tinsel garland for your front porch, as shown above, or simply suspend fuzzy store-bought spiders from your home's exterior using fishing line, clips, or hooks (below).

Dollar-Store Tea Lights Make the Most Boo-tiful Halloween Ghosts Ever
When topped with air-dry clay, flameless candles make the most boo-tiful decor!

Between tea light pumpkins and tea light witches, there are so many ways to use those flameless LED candles you can find at the dollar store. And this latest DIY ghost tutorial (or should we say boo-torial?) is the simplest so far.

While the other ideas involved turning the tea lights into faces with crooked, fiery noses, this craft cleverly conceals the flame with a bit of clay. The result? Teeny tiny apparitions which appear to be floating and glowing.

These Halloween Stair Decals Will Instantly Transform Your Home Into a Haunted House
Add this inexpensive idea to your October decor.
October is finally here, and that means Halloween decorating can officially commence. With so many spooktacular exterior items and wickedly festive decor out there, it can feel impossible to choose the best boo-inspired buys for your home. Especially when you don't want to spend a scary amount of money.
But fear not—we've found a frighteningly fun product that will help you take the first step toward an easy, eerie abode: These stair stickers are not only seasonally appropriate, but they're also incredibly affordable.

For just $12 you can get six adhesives that you can peel off and apply in mere minutes. Plus, the decals are waterproof and can be re-used year after year. When displayed on a staircase, these stickers set a spooky scene. (The one that really gave us chills was filled with illuminated jack-o'-lanterns on a foggy fall night.)

Of course, there are many bewitching options if you're looking for something that's a little more sinister. One shows a smiling grim reaper, another displays the outside of a haunted house, and one even boasts a sketch of Count Dracula.

And for the more subtle decorators, there a slew of super-cute displays that are much more low-key. Check out these meddling mice, a simple trick or treat text, or this tribute to Edgar Allan Poe.

With only a few weeks (!) until All Hallows Eve, you'll want to snag one of these adhesives ASAP. Which spellbinding sticker will you choose?

Put these on your treats table, or hang on the door or wall!

Create Frankenstein’s hair by cutting a rectangular strip of black paper the same width as a rectangle of green card stock, and attach with double-sided tape. To create eyes, cut circles from white paper and slightly smaller circles from black paper. For the mouth, cut strips from black paper. Tape two smaller strips to both sides. Draw a stitch with black marker on his cheek.

Cut monster eyes and mouths from colorful construction paper. Create pupils on each eye with a black marker. With double-sided tape, attach to gourds or squash.
