Pumpkin Lamp
Worried about setting your house on fire? How about carving a pumpkin and putting a battery operated light inside it? You may place it outside or inside your house as an alternative light for the house. Aside from making your house a little spooky it also saves electricity.

Jar-o'-lantern
No pumpkin, but have jars? Use your jars instead! No need for carving, just wrap an orange japanese paper around it. Use black ones for eyes and mouth.

Eyeball Wreath
I am sure you have a wreath from last year’s Christmas. Use it for the Halloween by wrapping a black cloth or black feathers around it and adding some artificial eyeball which you can buy from bazaar for a very cheap price. Put it in your front door and I am sure no one’s going to dare knock on your door. No eyeballs? Try spiders, or cockroaches, any creepy insect will do.

Haunted sign
Do you have a lamp post in front of your house? Gather a cardboard and write any spooky passage on it. Hang it onto the lamp post to make a “haunted” house appeal on your house. No lamp post? Your door will do. Use a water-based paint and write a creepy penmanship to greet your visitors.

Silhouettes
Remember those grade school projects where your teachers require you to cut out papers into pieces all the time? This maybe the season to bring your artsy side once again. Gather a black cartolina paper and cut out shapes of goblins and dwarves. Stick them on your window to scare your neighbors away.

Glowing Eyes
Got a cardboard? Cut out an eye-shaped form from it and roll it. Inside the rolled cardboard, attach a glowing stick. Put it on the bushes. It will come to light in the dark and give bone chills to the passersby.
