Halloween is just around the corner and that means it’s time to start decorating for the scariest day of the year! Even if you are on a tight budget, that doesn’t mean you can’t make some pretty scary Halloween decorations!

Everybody is familiar with classic jack-o-lantern; we’ve all been carving pumpkins since we were little kids. This year why not add a little something extra to set your pumpkin apart from all of your neighbors. Check out these innovative pumpkin designs.

Ever thought of turning the pumpkin sideways and using the stem as the nose? How about making fanged pumpkins by using wax vampire fangs? And finally, my favorite; check out this super cool pumpkin scarecrow!

Want your house to be the scariest on the block? All you need is a couple basic materials and an imagination, and you’ll hear kids screaming with delight all night! Firs thing you will need: black lights. These light bulbs are inexpensive and will add an eerie affect to your entire yard, not to mention they look really cool.

Now that you have your black light it’s time to make your dummy. All you need for this is some of your old clothes and either pillows, blankets, or towels. Simply stuff the pillows and blankets into your old clothes and arrange them to look like a person. Put this dummy on your porch and watch as unsuspecting kids walk to your door and are tricked by your clever dummy!
