It’s a neigborhood tradition where I live that everyone on the street puts up decorations for Halloween on their front lawn. But the twist is the Halloween decorations are only up for 1 night – Halloween. That way we make it truly special and Halloween doesn’t go on for weeks.
The brevity of the Halloween display however means that our ideas for Halloween decorations need to go up fast and come down just as quickly and easily. We go out late in the afternoon, put up our decorations and put tarps over them. Then when darkness comes signaling the beginning of trick-or-treating we take them down and the street becomes one big haunted house.
Our Halloween props usually include a haunted cemetary lining our walkway. It’s easy to put up fast because the tombstones just stick into the ground. Then we have zombie props that sit in front of the tombstones on the soil. The ingenious part about them is that they look like they are clawing their way out of the ground. For a bit of fun we have ghoulish and ghost tree peakers watching the cemetary. We swap out our usually white outdoor lights for eerie green lights and the outdoor decoration is complete.
This makes for a very effective grouping of outdoor Halloween decoration right where everyone sees it. The trick or treaters get to walk through our zombie graveyard to get to their candy.
But when the Halloween fun is ended, it takes us less than 30 minutes to take it down and put the Halloween props back in their storage bins.
