Thread: Need decorating ideas for outside

Tweet

We just moved into a neighborhood. Previously we lived on a gravel road where no TOTs dared visit. This year my house will be on display for the whole neighborhood & many TOTs. I threw a house party & barely decorated outside before. Any ideas on what to do with this house? The garage door especially, huge & white & very non-scary. I also think I want to do something with the pilars on the front porch.

Nice HP, and next to a greenbelt/park! Ok, I think it was Warrant2000 that had a similar dilemma with a large driveway and turned it into the cemetery by using bags of dried leaves to hide the concrete, I may be wrong on this because I cannot find anything in his album, but it's his name that came up in my mind so I'm sticking with it for now! lol You can screen the door with lanscaping fabric or jute netting and then decorate maybe with a pvc fence across the front with pillars add a few skeletons hanging around behind or corpsed skellies if you like!

Build a false wall about 4 feet behind the garage door and create a setting of zombies or whatever. open and close the door randomly.

You have a great yard for a cemetery. And that big window above the garage is begging for an FCG. The door...hmmm. I would have to agree, do something in the garage to utilize that space.

Thanks. We chose that lot because it was next to the park. Across the street is also protected woodlands so we have a nice view. I like the idea of using the driveway. I probably wont be opening the garage door as it is usually set up for beer pong Halloween night but I could make it work if I don't set it up until day of.

With your house I could see a murder scene. Maybe outline the property in crime scene tape. Add some body outlines with glow in the dark chalk to resemble bodys. For the grave yard maybe have some tombstones with the victems names. You also use your car to make it look like someone got ran over. For the garage, you could get those fake gel blood splatts. (they come off really clean and easy.

What a great house!!!! All those gabled (is that the word? Pointy-upward thingie?) eaves and overhangs are just crying out for things to hang from them. Cobweb them out and hang huge spiders from them, or creeped-up ghosts or, oh, just about anything.

Holy Cow its Sunny. I love your digs and have to agree that your lawn is begging for a graveyard. I realize your yard is not large but If that was my yard I would go all out on designing fence/pillars/entryway for a graveyard.

Wow I just took pictures of my home to post this same question later this week!

I love the graveyard ideas as well and that window over your garage is screaming for something to be seen up there!

Well I personally would enclose the front patio area and create good scare points utilizing some dividers or non-shear black cloth material drapped in various areas. Place webbing throughout the corners and upper edges near the walkway's roof. You can make a low cost front facsade to cover the garage door opening if you plan a garage walkthru too. Add lighting(red, green, blue) as this always creates a more erie effect. Hope this helps and wish you the best on your endevors!
