Anything with skelly bones!

My favorite still has to be a scary face of a jack o lantern!  Now that there are many more decorations out there...I would have to say anything hanging from a tree a blowing in the wind...scarrrryyyy

I've always been partial to pumpkins.  Especially ones I carve myself!  Pumpkins are double fun - you can bake the seeds and eat them while admiring your handiwork. :)

My favorite Halloween decoration is a ghost made of sheer fabric that I hang on my front door to scare the trick or treaters.

Creatively carved  and illuminated Jack-o-laterns are about my favourite.  However, for an eerie yet fun illusion I like: clear inflated balloons draped in a cloak of gauze which are suspended with fishing-line and  are blowing in the wind.

Carved pumpkin with real candles, everything homemade, decorate halloween day gone before the next morning!

Our first year in Calgary we noticed how the entire city puts alot of effort into Halloween so, last minute (the day before), my husband built a secret passage way from the side walk to the front porch out of scrap lumber and black roofing paper. We enclosed the porch in the same and covered the inside with cobwebs and screaming skulls. I was waiting at the end to hand out candy dressed as a witch. We had alot of goodies left over that year as the little ones were to afraid to enter!

I use the same 'cut out' technique found on Pumpkin Masters on my front windows. I cover all the 'positive space' with yellow tissue paper and with the lights on inside the house, it's quite impressive. Iv'e lived in the same house for 3 years so I get to re-use all that hard work.

Our 12 year old has been the official decorator for our house for the last 7 years - this year he has full reign of our two car garage and, along with a few of his friends, has turned it into a haunted house! It is so fun and word has spread though our neighbourhood - everyone waits to see what he creates year after year!

I like to cover my walkway with spider webs suspended from above and my doorway with carved pumpkins and a halloween tape playing in the background.it's the older kids that are more affected by it than the little ones

I start at Thanksgiving with corn stalks, gourds, pumkins, coloured kale, small bale of hay, a Scarecrow.  Then as Halloween approaches, the pumkins become jack o lanterns, a bat or two appear, Some times a witch in the window looking out.  The Scarecrown gets a nastier face etc.  

MY Dads birthday was Halloween, so we always went all out..

We have had Lite Brite pumpkins,cat pumpkins, dry ice ghosty mansions, etc..

This year its a whote pumpkin w/ portholes in it to portray a UFO..

One year our daughter sat like a black faced scarecrow,very still on a bench, then "came to life" and chased the kids after they recd.their treat..scared a lot of dults too..lol

nothing...

I don't decorate

I don't know if I have a favorite.  I love to decorate for Halloween and have a large collection of decor both bought and hand made.  I add something new every year.  The graveyard is now one half of my front yard.  It is complete with handmade gravestones with lifelike skeletons or corpses rising from the graves.  My newest edition is rubber rats eating the collection of "bones" I got one year.  But perhaps my favorite is the giant spider web my sister and I made a few years ago. It is complete with hairy spider climbing down to eat all the tricker treaters.  Sometimes the younger kids are too afraid to climb the steps because my door is draped in cobwebs and has a noise activated talking monster on the door along with a collection of foam spiders that attached with magnets to the door.  Halloween is great fun at my place        

We love Halloween!  Always get fully decked out.  The bay window always has a 'scene', something on the lawn - a coffin with dead bride or a mantelpiece with candles, webs and sound effects and the front entry is scarrrrry with webs, tulle, spiders, sounds and a moving caulden to walk through before you get your treats from the 'dead Mr. & Mrs.' of the house.  Several years we have used a baby monitor (still works after 21 years) putting the speaker inside & the receiver outside.  We greet guests personally and they can hear their welcome as they come up the driveway.  

It's also our daughters birthday and we have two black cats ... real ones!  Spoooooky.

I used to go all out...with homemade spider webs, cornstalks, skeleton's..my kids are in their teens now, so it has gone a little by the wayside (I'll have to rethink that!).  I got a great deal on an inflatable (I know, I know..I don't usually like them, but...).  It is clear with a ghost and lots of flying bats inside.  I can't wait to use it on Friday!

I love carving 2 or 3 pumpkins for my front steps and lighting them with candles.  I also have an Autumn swag on my front door.  Also outside, I have two alien ghosts hanging in my May tree.  I made them from old white sheer curtains with stuffing for the heads and black patches for the alien shaped eyes and mouths (screaming, of course!).  Inside the front door, I have a string of orange mini-lights, several autumnal candles, Autumn leaves I've waxed, a few more "natural" Autumn-themed decorations and - of course! - the treats.  I wear a black velvet robe and a tall witch's hat.

I once found a zucinni , painted it white put 2 big black eyes on it added a flowing sheet and hung it by running a hanger through it ...got a lot of compliments.....

We build a Haunted House in our garage every year, complete with black lights, floor to ceiling buildings, tunnels, and both standard and animated creatures....we usually carve three pumpkins and try and outdo ourselves each year.
