Graveyard Theme

Eerie Tombstones

Create a graveyard in your front yard by erecting tombstones, which are haphazardly strewn on the ground.  You can prepare stones as markers and wooden crosses. Put some splashes of red paint on the crosses to add a horrendous scene. Creative ways to decorate outside for Halloween offer lots of options to choose from.

Genuine Crows

You can perch some genuine crows on top of the wooden markers to depict authenticity to the scene.  Styrofoam is also good material to create crosses from. There are many creative ways to decorate outside for Halloween to make your front yard unique.

Illuminate trees with purple or dim lights

If you have trees, light them up with purple or dim lights and hang skeletons and scary objects so that their shadows will add a more grotesque aura to the scene.

Cobwebs on your front door and windows

Make artificial cobwebs from threads and cotton.  You could even place real spiders in your front door, if you are brave enough.   You could also position them in trees and among the tombs to depict a haunted house effect.

Skeletons and Ghostly figures

You can half bury skeletons made up of cartoons or styrofoam. Add some luminous substances or small lights to project red eyes in sunken eyeballs and similar effects. A headless rider, a dark woman, a witch, and similar ghostly figures could add more effect to your front yard décor.

Pumpkins

Do not forget your pumpkins. They should be evil-looking to complete the morbid, scary and eerie atmosphere. You can add originality in your creative ways to decorate outside for Halloween. You can place purple lights inside your pumpkins so they come out of the sunken eyes and the evil toothless grin.

Bats

Bats are always associated with the dark side. You can hang them in the trees and among the skeletons. Make sure they can be seen with your purple or dim lights.

Animated object

You can also use an animated object, like a man swinging a bloody ax, or a simulation of Freddy Kruger from Nightmare on Elm Street and other scary, popular figures.
