Cheap/easy halloween decor
So it's that time of year again, and your local goth kitty is looking to decorate the outdoors for halloween. We have a fenced-in wooden porch and a small yard with a retaining wall around it.
Unfortunately, both time and money are at a premium right now. So I figured I'd look to the playground for ideas on quick/easy decorations. Try to avoid anything that wouldn't be safe for the little kiddoes coming around, though!Hail to the Lord of Death and Destruction!

Kill your enemies, use their innards. Free and fairly simple, as long as you don't use their faces and you burn the setup down once your party is over.

Uh... Jack-o-lanterns? Takes an hour and costs about 10 bucks per pumpkin.

Re: Cheap/easy halloween decor
Well, I have this big, quiet field near my house, where someone's left a bunch of marble slabs and big statues of angels and crosses and stuff all over the place - I've found that if I dig there, I always find a load of corpses that I can just take. Like, for free!!!
Oh, what, you wanted practical advice, not ghoulish whimsy? Fine, then - here's some potentially useful YouTube how-to demonstrations:
General lawn decorations!
Spooky signs!
Cheap, easy skulls!
Ghoooooooooosts!
Tombstones!Last edited by Senator Cybus; 2012-10-17 at 09:37 PM.
I have a cookie now! (::) I've licked it, so no backsies.

Re: Cheap/easy halloween decor
Most really cheap pillows or duvet/comforter inner's are made from dacron (sp).
This, when stretched out thin makes pretty good looking cobwebs.
I know here in NZ you can pick up a cheap single duvet inner for about $15. That gives you more than enough dacron (sp) to decorate a whole house. Good thing is, you can box it up afterwards and re-use it in the future.

Just pick whatever you like from the women's costume selections. They're all good at making you look cheap and easy.

Re: Cheap/easy halloween decor
The problem with using the heads is that the face is the part most will recognize. If you use heads, stick with the skull or one of those creepy skinless muscle-and-bone styles.

I suggest summoning up a bunch of Lovecraftian horrors from beyond time and space.
