Halloween brings out a certain type of individual. While everyone can enjoy the food, celebrations, gifts, and copious amounts of alcohol associated with other holidays, All Hallow’s Eve has a distinct energy all its own. People that celebrate this festival do it with such zeal and enthusiasm that it astounds and often horrifies people around them. The followers of darkness who like the freak-filled nature of the fall always bring their A-game, whether it’s with costumes that will astound and amaze, jack-o-lanterns that will make you jealous, or the regalia they employ to decorate their homes.
When you’re ready to be inspired and give your home the makeover it deserves, check out these 15 houses with eerily proper Halloween decorations.
#1: Shipwrecked
Halloween decorations don’t have to be all ghouls and spooks. You can just choose a theme and go all out, as these people did. Smart and ingenious, this setup required a lot of work and know-how, with details like the broken siding on the house completing the illusion.
#2: Skeletal Ball
Halloween does not have to be a horrible occasion. The living ᴅᴇᴀᴅ have some class, and they appreciate a good cotillion just like any debutante. It’s so well-executed that it nearly makes you want to take a turn around the ballroom floor with some undead gentleman callers.
#3: Walking ᴅᴇᴀᴅ Homage
The ᴅᴇᴀᴅ can dance, but they mostly shamble. This family wanted to express their tremendous love for The Walking ᴅᴇᴀᴅ by reliving the glorious days of the prison, before Negan and his bat took our hearts and souls.
#4: Jack of All Lanterns
Making over 100 lighted pumpkins is one way to truly ring in the harvest season, following the tradition of going large and adhering to a single theme. The truly terrifying part: what kind of sculpting monster has that much time?
#5: Restless Souls
Hodgepodges can rapidly become a disaster, but focusing on a basic theme, such as skulls, witches, and ghouls, usually keeps the decorations in the strike zone.
#6: Town That Time Forgot
We adore ruins and abandoned areas, which is why this Old West scene has a special place in our hearts. Getting an entire part of the street to work on a single layout is astounding in and of itself, but bringing a ghost town back to life is pure art.
#7: The Lighted Path
This style, which manages to be both cheerful and fun, employs all of the same moving parts as a horrific haunted home, but on a cartoon scale, making it bright and inviting while being no less fashionable than its dour rivals.
#8: Monster House
The kil:ler home is usually a good option for individuals who like to paint rather than use props. Decorate with beautifully applied and hanging plywood or water-soluble dyes to create an ambience that’s good enough to eat…you.
#9: ᴅᴇᴀᴅ Man’s Party
Decorating the exterior of a home demonstrates Halloween pride. Decorating the interior requires passion or severe mental disease. In any case, it’s a clear success when it demonstrates such modest panache in a sequence that would have made Poe proud.
#10: New York State of Mind
Typically, a home in the suburbs with a lovely yard is required to create a truly great arrangement, but here’s proof that even a city brownstone can be dressed up and made over to contribute to the dreary grays inherent in the concrete jungle.
#11: Asylum Escape
The two things we all fear the most are escaped lunatics roaming rampant and suburban housing. The true sensation of action and movement is what draws the viewer’s attention here, giving the image an anxious energy.
#12: Spider’s Den
Almost everyone has used a couple of those sticky cotton cobwebs to decorate the sides of their house, frequently to unpleasant effect. Here, the game is elevated to the next level. As terrible as it appears from a distance, being under the glare of those spiders is an even more unpleasant sensation.
#13: Paper Demons
Odds are good you’ve made a papier-mâché skull by popping a balloon, but when you want to turn it into art that is larger than life, complete with glowing interior, these are the examples to follow.
#14: The Mausoleum
Unbelievably, there is a house behind that. All it takes to bring out the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ when room is limited is to design a sizable burial.
#15: I Hate My Neighbors
Make it seem like everyone on your neighborhood is sleeping in a shady motel off the Las Vegas strip. You can be sure they will give you a lot of eggs as a token of appreciation.
