There are cheap and fun ways to decorate the outside of your home well.

What you need to decorate the outside of your house for Halloween

You will need the following items.

Newspaper painted black to add to the dark ambiance. The kids usually enjoy painting newspapers black so this can be a fun Halloween activity as well as a Halloween decoration. The little pumpkin face candy carriers. This costs a dollar each with either glow sticks or LED night lights inside for light (in place of jack o lanterns) A scarecrow in human clothing in the shadows to spook passers by.

A sheet with a disposable Halloween mask tacked on and hanging from a tree.

Lastly, you need red food dye or Jello with seeds, spilled on the sidewalk, with a sidewalk chalk outline of a body - not something to do every year. And if you use Jello, be sure to use the low calorie sugar free version, or else the spot will be covered with ants. Then you will really have a scary situation on your hands. Very scary indeed especially so when you need pest control to control the ants.
