Editor’s Note
Better Homes and Gardens - Special Issues
Double Take • Assign your front porch decor a second shift. Decorate for Halloween, then dress it down for the rest of fall.
Wild Things • Gnarled trees and creepy-crawlies are the freaky favorites of these enchanted etched pumpkin forest scenes.
Wicked Welcome • Looking for a spirited way to dress up your home’s front entrance? Use classic colors and iconic motifs to concoct festive friendliness with Halloween spunk—without scaring off the neighborhood trick-or-treaters.
Spooky Scary Skeletons • No bones about it—these Halloween skeletons are guaranteed to set a spine-tingling scene.
Full of Spirits • A big ghost hovers over this Georgia farmhouse, and the fun continues throughout the property, where Halloween is an excuse for spunky—not scary—decorations thanks to a busy mom of ten who sets the tone.
Clean Cut • Put down the knife and skip the gory details of carving pumpkins in favor of silly and spooky designs you can create with paint, glue, and a few frightfully simple accessories.
Frightful Flocks + Infestations • If one creature is creepy, then a swarm is positively spine-chilling. Surrender your outdoor decor to hordes of flying, slithering, and crawling invaders.
Witches in Stitches • These reckless witches could use a little more training! While a bit of a flight risk, they’re just right for entertaining the neighbors. Failure to yield to a fence, porch, or light post produces an eerie effect.
Come Home to Creepy • Large, hairy, and always scary, a giant tarantula lures guests to your front door for a delightful night of fright!
Eerie Exteriors • Whether they’re walking, biking, or driving by, people will know you’re serious when you put some daring—yet so easy and inexpensive to make—outdoor decor on display.
Knock Knock • Who’s there? Scary cool wreaths that are suspiciously easy to make.
One Porch Three Ways • Lure guests and treat-seeking goblins with a charmingly wicked welcome before they even reach the front door.
