DIY Scary Halloween Decorations
If you’re looking to add a spooky touch to your Halloween decor, DIY scary decorations can be both fun and budget-friendly. Here are some examples of DIY scary Halloween decorations you can try:
- Creepy Ghosts: Create eerie floating ghosts by draping cheesecloth or white fabric over wire frames or balloons. Hang them from trees or ceilings for a haunting effect.
- Severed Body Parts: Make gruesome severed body parts using materials like foam, latex, and paint. You can create fake limbs, bloody hands, or even a severed head to display in your Halloween setup.
- Haunted Mirror: Turn an ordinary mirror into a haunted one by using black paint or a dry erase marker to write spooky messages or draw creepy figures on the glass. When your guests see their reflections, they’ll be in for a fright!
- Spider Infestation: Craft giant spiders using foam balls, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes. Attach these creepy crawlies to walls, windows, or outdoor bushes to give the illusion of a spider-infested space.
- Haunted Dolls: Take old dolls and give them a chilling makeover. Add cracked paint, broken limbs, and tattered clothing to make them look like possessed or haunted dolls. Display them in dimly lit corners for an extra scare.
- Tombstones: Create tombstones out of foam board or cardboard and paint them to look weathered and aged. Place them in your front yard or scatter them throughout your Halloween display to create a spooky cemetery scene.

Create this crazy authentic-looking skull boneyard lantern at home! You only need a few supplies including a battery-operated tea light candle (which adds to the spooky look).
If you're throwing a party then you know that the bathroom is going to be used. Spread the Halloween theme into your bathroom by creating this entire murder scene look.
LOOKING FOR A SUPER-SCARY HALLOWEEN PROP, FOR YOUR HOUSE OR YARD, look no further than this, hanging corpse!
These horror movie gravestones are just too perfect. The ideas shown are fantastic already, covering movies like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. But you can easily make gravestones to reflect all your favorite horror flicks - if you have a big enough yard!
When it comes to decorations that make you shiver, nothing is quite as shivery as a ginormous spider ready to pounce. You can get super creative with this as you put a web together just out of sight of unsuspecting trick or treaters. And just wait until they see it!
When it comes to inside-the-house Halloween decorations, this gallery wall is quite creative. It is very decorative and attractive, but also just enough on the creepy side to make it work. At the very least, it makes you look like you have some STRANGE hobbies!
I think this has got to be one of the most creative and awesome yard decorations that I have ever seen. The witches are purchased, so you can pretty much use anything you like, but the directions for the cauldron are sheer genius. What a great way to spook out your neighbors!
The realistic 3D bloody handprints and shadowy figures create a spooky atmosphere for Halloween.
If you're the type that likes miniatures, especially those little villages that people like to put up around Christmas, you'll love this spooky little Halloween village. The coolest thing is that you can decorate your buildings as simply or as elaborately as you like. And giving the kids some building of their own to decorate is great fun, too!
Here's another giant spider for your porch. But instead of hanging out in a web above everyone's heads, this spider is so huge he has fallen to the ground and pulled his web down with him. Those trick-or-treaters better hope he moves slowly!
This creative candy cauldron stand has been a sign from all kinds of famously spooky locations. Clever and attractive, this is the kind of decoration that gets people talking while digging into their favorite candy!
Sometimes the coolest decorations are the simplest to put together. All you need are some plastic spiders, a frame, and a few other items to create this ultra-creepy specimen Halloween picture!
Add them to your Halloween Decorations and enjoy a spooky Halloween.
There's nothing like a circle of creepy skulls on your front door to let your neighbors know what you're all about. This is especially true if you leave them hanging there long after Halloween is over. But you wouldn't do that now, would you?
These mason jar mummies are the perfect combination of creepy, cute, and ultra-creative. They are the perfect addition to any Halloween decor you have going on, and you can use them for just about any extra storage you need, too. Best of all, they won't go shambling around in the dark!
The idea of cutting a Jack-o-Lantern out of pineapple might sound rather funny - like some random thing you might find them doing in Hawaii as a "poor substitute for the real thing". But when you see how completely creepy they look, you might never want to carve your jack-o-lanterns out of pumpkins ever again!
