Charcoal-painted busts make a startling centerpiece at this table. If you live in a warm-climate area, bring your Halloween party outside under the moon and stars. Retro Halloween paper lanterns make the party even more festive. These lanterns and old chandeliers could be hung from an overhead patio roof or trellis, or if you have a tree nearby, hang some of the lanterns on its branches. For warmth, light-up a fire pit or rent a few heat lamps.
