Hi all! My theme this year is Scarecrow/haunted abandoned farm.

I am doing cornfields in my front yard, and hay bales with pumpkins. I have skeletons to put up as scarecrows too. I will be dressing up as a scarecrow for the TOTers. I did this theme back in 2012, but want to improve on it for this year....

I'm looking for other suggestions/pictures on how to decorate a scary haunted farm setting....

Where I live you can rent sheds. Some look like barns. If you can rent them and you have space for one you could make a little mini haunted barn.

Also I swear I have seen one of the animal skeletons that was a chicken. I just don't remember where.

I have no suggestions but just wanted to say that I've always wanted to do the whole cornstalk and scarecrow theme - it's quintessential Halloween! Unfortunately, cornstalks are not easy to come by where I live. If you do find them they're for sale for much more than I want to pay. So I look at pictures!
I'm sure yours will be fantastic - please post pictures when you can!

A barrel full of apples and rubber/plastic rats mixed in likely a nice detail if got a place for such, can get rats at most dollar stores this season it seems like.

An addition of lots of crows are perfect since you have scarecrows.

What about the american gothic couple? I always thought there was something creepy about them. You could also use scythes, hoes, pitchforks and other tools.

I did a Welcome to the Farm theme in the front yard last year. I had the American Gothic (skeleton) couple, evil pumpkin trellis, Crow Woman, living cornshock, etc:
