Halloween has to be my favorite time of year. The air is growing cooler and there is almost an eeriness in the air. That being said, decorating for halloween and even an halloween party is my favorite holiday to decorate for. Below are simple tips for creating a creepy, silly, crafty halloween decorations.

1. Most of the decorations that I own have been collected over the years. But, a must need for any halloween decorations is fake spider web. The use of this webbing is up to you, my favorite way to use it is to add it to light up trees to create a barren vibe to the area.

2. Another must have is creepy decorations. Around my house we have life-like babies that will make noise or light up when you walk past them. But other decorations that can be creepy include: mason jars filled with fake body parts, blood dripping down a window, or bugs in a corner.

3. Outdoor decorations can be what sets you apart from neighbors or friends when it comes to halloween decorations. Around my neighborhood, we tend to have the most intricate decor, but that isn't necessary each year. If there are just a couple things in your yard that are scary, that'll set you apart. One thing that should go over great, is a graveyard with bones coming out of the ground.

4. Food is a must if you want to have an halloween party. One big hit at any party I've thrown is a bleeding jello brain. The molds are typically sold at any craft store in their halloween section. Another great one is chocolate dipped pretzels that look like witches fingers.

Halloween doesn't have to 'ghostly' when it comes to decorating. Just let your imagination run a little wild and all should run smoothly from there.
