It's worth paying attention to the fact that the decoration of the house for Halloween begins on the exterior. Facades of the house, a threshold, a ladder, garden paths, arbors and even gates and fences, all this can become a place for the arrangement of the original thematic decor. 

After the pumpkin crafts are already ready and placed in the house in their places, the first thing that comes to mind for many of us, regarding Halloween scene ideas, is the ghosts that we associate with the holiday of spirits, with the day of All Hallows.  

Especially spectacularly look hovering around the house of ghosts. To produce them you will need a large amount of gauze or plain white fabric. Gaze should be immersed in a solution of PVA glue mixed with water, inflate the balloon and in a wet form place gauze on the ball, straighten in the form of a ghost and leave until completely dry. After drying the ball is blown off, and on the surface of the gauze, paint a black marker the eyes and mouth of the ghost. Then such ghosts can be hung around the house, fastened on chandeliers, lamps, doors and hangers.

The entrance door of the house on holidays you can decorate a wreath of black bird flag-leafs. By the way, do not forget that you can decorate hedges like a graveyard fence, with cobwebs and skulls.

Another way to surprise guests and neighbors is to create the illusion of a hologram in the figure of a skull or a pumpkin, or a witch on a broom, but here it is necessary to think more carefully about the technical side of the decor.

You can also construct a crypt or the cemetery or make trail with ghosts and other evil spirits, but we'll talk more about the darkest outside haunted trail ideas below.

Today, many shops offer thematic decorative components for the Halloween holiday, so if you visit one of them, you can stock up with such attributes that you did not know about.
