Halloween is a great time for fun. But it is also a time to get spooky! Well, that is what Halloween enthusiasts want - to look, feel and sound scary.

But then, Halloween decorations are never easy. Visit your favorite animal jewelry shop, today, and you will be overwhelmed by the extensive collection of items. Should you pick spider pendants or go for rattlesnake bungle? Or perhaps you want a deer costume to set in your front yard.

And if you are into horror films, should you have fake blood on the walls or go with skeletons in an "abandoned" house? Or perhaps and combination of both. How do you make the scariest décor in the neighborhood?

Challenging, right? But don't worry. This guide is made just to show how to make scary Halloween decorations.

Halloween Jewelry and Costumes

Let's start by getting you into the mood. You need to dress in the best Halloween attire. The way you dress might inspire you to come up with the spookiest ideas.

Here are some of the pieces of jewelry you will find very effective.

Spider Keychain

Halloween never ends without some spooky spidery setups. You can use this themed spider chain to give your house a taste of what it looks like to have spiders around. It's a simple and yet highly effective item that is sure to raise the Halloween spirit. Once you have locked your spooky door, put the keys on this retractable key holder and wait for the trick-or-treaters. It's a handy keychain that you can hang down your neck to bring out your mood.

Rattlesnake Tail Earrings

A rattlesnake is not a name many will hear and get excited. And yet for animal lovers, there is no better way of expressing their feelings towards these fantastic beasts. Dressing up like an evil witch and wearing these rattlesnake pendant earrings will paint the perfect Halloween image. The earrings are crafted from high quality brass with a rattle snake tail hanging. Besides, it's something that goes with any outfit, even beyond the spooky season.

Rattlesnake Tail Pendant

Here is another piece of jewelry that will clearly bring out the rattlesnake charm in your Halloween costume. With the pendant on your neck and the earrings on, no one will beat your attire easily. The pendant comes in brass, silver gold-coated, making it stand out on the wearer. It might not be scary, but it's sure to represent the Halloween season perfectly.

Scary outfit

Skeletons, witch attires, and blood-stained rugged cloths always paint the best Halloween setup. You will always hit the point in any of them. The choice for scary outfits is immense during the Halloween season. Whether you make one or buy online, you are sure to get something that meets you needs. Become Frankenstein, put on the Joker, wear zombie make up, dress a witch - whatever you want, become this season.

Once you get yourself ready, it's the perfect time to make your environment scary. This is where it gets trickier.

Decorate the Outside

You can now start getting your lawn ready for trick-or-treaters and other passersby. There are so many creepy ideas you can put together to make the exterior of your home extremely scary. Often, people can guess what's inside by looking at your lawn. Let's set the right tone for the rest of your Halloween season.

Here are some ideas:

Leaf it up

Old crunchy leaves covering the ground is never a good sign on a house that looks old and abandoned. You can collect enough by raking your lawn several days before the festival.

Boots in the leaves

Here is something that is sure to raise the hair on your body - a pair of old boots protruding from a pile of leaves or dirt. There could be a dead body in there. But it's just your Halloween décor.

Tombstones

Dry leaves, old boots, and now tombstones? You are on your way to becoming a scare legend. Anything old, dingy, and falling apart scares the creep out of many people. Stick some fake old tombstones on the ground, and you get the point home.

Spider webs and ghost costumes on the trees

If you have trees in your compound, you can recreate a haunted space quite effectively. Use a lot of white wool to make spider webs all over the place. And they have grey and why ghost costumes in different places.

Add in some skeletons and skulls

Throw some skulls and skeletons on the ground, with some popping from the graves. Just thinking about this should send chills down your spine. Wait until you are the trick-or-treaters.

An old car

Park your car on the lawn and paint the windows to look cracked. Inside, make it look like someone is trapped inside and screaming for help. You can use a dummy for this part.

Smoke it up

Finding a smoke machine is not hard. You can use this machine to have the whole area covered in smoke, leaving a few things protruding above it. Just ensure the smoke does not rise too high.

Decorating the Interior

Now that you are done with the outside, it's time to make the inside even scarier. Your home is almost Halloween-ready.

Ghost the furniture

Find old white or black sheets and cover the furniture. The idea here is to make the house look old and abandoned. This always scares anyone that comes in, even yourself. Create natural holes on the sheet to make ghostly figures.

Fake blood on the painting

If you have paintings on the wall, they can play a crucial role in your decorations. Why would there be blood on them if not that someone was slaughtered there? You can create that impression using fake blood - some sauce should do.

Skull on the ground

Arrange a few fake skulls in different sections of the house. You can have some new doors and others on the furniture. Spice it up with other fake bones from different body parts, like hands and legs.

Don't forget webbing

You will never miss spiderwebs in old and abandoned houses. Use white cotton to make your walls, corners, lighting fixtures, and other parts of the house look like spiders' hubs. You should now have a picture of a haunted house.

Light it up

Lights can be the best way to set the eerie ambiance you need. You can make this by taping plastic bats in the shade of ordinary lamps and then lighting them. Have some white candles and a few with fake blood across the house. Use dimmer bulbs so the house does not get too bright.

Pumpkins never disappoint

You will never see Halloween without pumpkins. Make use of them here too. Hung pumpkin balloons - the orange ones with scary faces. Use pumpkin dishes for treats and other stuff.

Mummy door

Use some white pieces of fabric to wrap your door from the outside to make it look like a mummy. This will always have someone think twice before opening it. If possible, create a creaking sound for your door when it opens.
