How To Give Your Home Exterior A Haunting Look This Halloween

Pumpkins

Sorry to give you a fright, but Halloween is almost here. Like you will do at Christmas, your house needs decorating for the occasion and it should be done in a scarily good way.

It wouldn’t be Halloweeny without some pumpkins, carved into all sorts of fiendishly funny faces, but don’t stop there.

There are other spooky things you can do that will put a spell on the trick-or-treaters who visit on Halloween night.

Bewitch The Neighbourhood

The leaving of a broomstick and some witch shoes outside of your front door will leave people bemused and fool some into thinking that a witch has taken up residence in your house.

Play up the joke further by hanging a sign next to the door with a message of “free flying lessons” or “potions on sale”. It’ll have you howling with laughter, but have everyone else trembling in fear.

The recent release of Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+ makes it a fiendishly funny thing to do.

Instil Fear With Stickers

Make your windows give people the willies with some scary stickers, such as ugly-looking spiders, dastardly witches and spine-chilling skeletons.

Want stickers that are a little less sinister for the kids? If you go on Amazon, you can get Casper the friendly ghost stickers very cheaply that are quick and easy to apply and remove.

Spell Out Halloween Messages

A light box will glow brightly in your window amidst nightfall and you can use it to write out different Halloween-themed messages and puns, such as “don’t turn back” or “creep it real”.

Try to change the wording on the box every day for your own amusement, and the amusement of others, and at the end of Halloween it can then be used as a way of counting down to Christmas.

Is your house haunting you because of how much it’s costing to heat? Your current windows and doors will be the cause of that and need to be replaced before your energy bills become even scarier.
