Creative Halloween Ideas for Outdoor Spaces

A Spirited Gallery of Halloween Treats, Haunts & Spooks

By , About.com Guide

For many people, Halloween is their favorite time of year to decorate their outdoor living spaces. Whether that outdoor space has the acreage to become a theme park-calibre haunt fest or is more of an eerie little alcove on a condo balcony, it needs to be transformed into something festive for Halloween.

Each year finds more decorators getting into the spirit of the season, and Halloween has become the second most-popular holiday for outdoor decorations in the United States. Spooky, utterly terrifying or family-friendly Halloween decorations adorn people's front and backyards, porches, entryways, doors, windows, patios, balconies, swimming pools (yes, swimming pools) and wherever else they can find to decorate.

This lively gallery features outdoor decorations that range from diminutive scenic displays for small spaces to extreme DIY projects created by some of the many extremely talented prop-masters and Halloween enthusiasts out there. May the spirits be your guide!
