Halloween Party Decorations

Indoor Halloween party decorations create a spooky atmosphere in your home and let you and your family enjoy the Halloween season all October. Because you and your party guests will have a chance to have a good look at these Halloween decorations up close, it’s important to choose quality decorations with good details. If you have any cheap props with bad molding and paint jobs, leave those outdoors.

The Haunted Entryway

The indoor Halloween decorations just inside your front door and along your entryway set the mood of the whole house. Place a motion- or sound-activated animated prop right by the door to give a good scare to anyone coming in. Horror film serial killer and zombie props are ideal for this.

If you have a small table in your entryway, give it a Gothic makeover with an old lace tablecloth, a gargoyle statue, and a crystal ball (plastic decoration or garden gazing ball). A “Thing” box, as seen on the Addam’s Family, also makes a nice touch.

Hang up a few “haunted” lenticular portraits or other creepy pictures. While you’ll probably want to keep the lights down to add to the mood, but make sure you can still see well enough to hang up coats and stow umbrellas.

Halloween Living Room Decorations

Since you’ll probably be spending most of your time in your home’s living room, don’t skimp on décor here. One good trick, especially if you like to start early, is to bring out your indoor Halloween decorations in batches. If you bring out every decoration you have on October 15th, you’re likely to get bored with them by the time Halloween comes.

Hang a ghost in the corner of the ceiling or sit a gruesome looking corpse prop in a rocking chair. Take advantage of those small, overlooked nooks where guest won’t see a prop until their right up on it. Put a rubber rat in the bookshelf, a giant spider under a chair, or a disembodied head on a shelf somewhere.

Halloween Table Decorations

If you’re planning a Halloween party inside (as opposed to outdoors around a bonfire), good table décor is a must for your collection of indoor Halloween decorations. Even before the party night, though, given what a center of activity the kitchen table is, it’s worth dressing up it up for the season.

In late September or early October, you may want to stick with harvest-theme décor like gourds and scarecrows so you don’t get tired of the Halloween stuff. As Halloween nears, though, a tablecloth with a season print and a centerpiece with ghosts,

Halloween Decorations for the Bathroom

Have some fun decorating the bathroom, too. First, change the light bulb to an eerie green or black light. Then set up scary indoor Halloween decorations to creep out anyone who dares take a bathroom break.

Place props like body parts (complete with fake blood) in the tub, attach a spooky ghost decal to the mirror, or just string some cobwebs in the upper corner of the door. Setting up a door topper over the bathroom door is another simple way to add some atmosphere to the bath.
