October is exciting for many reasons: cooler weather, leaves turning, and the inevitable takeover of pumpkin spice everything. But the best part of the month comes with all things spooky for Halloween.
There’s nothing like decorating for a Halloween party. It’s just the best, especially if you’re a fan of horror in the first place. Whether your party is in the planning stages or you’re just feeling festive, we’ll give you some of the best options out there to make your party the one everyone talks about all year.
1) Turn your lawn into a graveyard.

2) Make your hedges frightful with some eyeballs.
The whole “strange eyes peeking out at you in the darkness” trope can be yours with a few strings of these Peep n’ Peepers lights. Each set comes with three pairs of eyes, which will blink and glow to your specifications. Expect to hear the screams of children when they get a load of these.

8) Serve some freshly prepared brain.

9) Put on some terrifying, standout TV.
By far one of the coolest Halloween items we’ve seen this year, this haunted TV’s screen will bulge as a skull pushes out of it when you switch it on. Not only does it have that sweet vintage look, but the sounds it makes win it the prize of creepiest prop by far.

10) Invite some creepy beasts to peer into the windows.
Amazon
This set of posters can be hung over your windows to make it look as if spiders are creeping their way inside. Stick them up, turn on a light, and your house looks significantly less inviting. Don’t blame us if your guests leave early.
