13 Times People Went Above And Beyond When It Came To Decking Out Their Lawn For Halloween

I’m excited to announce that the spooky season is upon us once again, dears! Have you already tried your first pumpkin spice latte of the year? Have you filled your home with the mouthwatering aroma of pumpkin bread? Have you stocked up on the candy for the trick-or-treaters? And most importantly, have you decorated for the occasion?

If the latter is still not checked off your to-do list, don’t fret. There’s still plenty of time to do so, and the Facebook group Halloween Graveyards and Displays is here to inspire you with some of the spookiest decorations out there. Scroll down to find them and be warned that these people aren’t playing around when it comes to skeletons, witches, and ghouls.

While you’re at it, don’t forget to check out a conversation with Halloween decor enthusiast Marsh Moon, aka Halloween Home Maker, and Halloween decor collector Nicole from Halloween Finds, who kindly agreed to talk about us about spooky season decor!

Halloween decor enthusiast Marsh Moon from Halloween Home Maker tells Bored Panda that her elaborate decorating for the occasion comes from her brain, which likes to do everything over the top.

“So when Halloween became my special interest, I was all in. It's always on my mind, and I love creating magical, whimsical spaces to take a break from life's troubles.”

What Halloween decor collector Nicole from Halloween Finds enjoys the most about spooky season decor is the classic icons such as ghosts, Jack-o-lanterns, and witches that bring back many fond memories from her childhood. 

“They remind me of the fun and spooky times I had as a child. Although decorations may change over time, these icons remain timeless.”

We also asked these spooky season enthusiasts if they could share their decoration process and how long it takes them to display everything they’ve collected through the years. 

“I like to set a theme and build around that while keeping in mind what I already have. Once I've got an idea of how I want it to look, I start taking out my decorations. I always do Halloween trees to maximize vertical space with my pumpkin pail collection. Layering and small details are very important to my results, so I add leaf garlands and then fill in the empty spaces with whatever matches my theme for the year,” Marsh tells us.

Marsh tries her best to mix it up each Halloween, some years adding faux ferns, others something silver and sparkly, and tying it all together with coordinating ribbon laced throughout. “Lighting also happens at this phase. String lights, icicle lights, blow molds, battery tealights, and projection lights all come together to create an atmospheric glow that makes it an experience rather than just decorations. I usually spend collectively about a month puttering around with all the details, but for me, it's the process that's the celebration as much as the final result,” she fondly shares.
