Halloween is about three things: Picking a great Halloween costume, gorging on Halloween candy, and freaking out your neighbors. There are various levels of achievement in this regard.
You can go with the classic spider-filled cobwebs, flickering jack-o-lanterns, and a dummy on your porch if you want to scare trick or treaters.
But to scare the adults in your neighborhood (and possibly law enforcement) you need to get creative with your scary Halloween decorations. Luckily there’s plenty of inspiration out there for spooky home makeovers and freakish lawn displays to get your sadistic juices flowing.
