Scary Halloween Door Decorations Trick-or-Treaters Will Love

The walk to the front door is half the fun of trick-or-treating.

A great Halloween entrance creates anticipation before anyone even rings the bell.

Creepy eyes

There's something naturally unsettling about walking toward a house that appears to be watching you.

DoorFoto's Scary Eyes design turns virtually the entire front door into a pair of menacing eyes.

Add dim red or purple lighting around the porch to intensify the effect.

Clowns have become a Halloween classic.

The Pennywise Scary Door Cover creates a large-format focal point before visitors ever reach the candy bowl.

Place freestanding skeletons on either side of the entrance and use the door as the backdrop.

A broom, cauldron, purple lighting and witch-themed front door can create a complete scene using only a handful of pieces.

For a particularly intense display, the Queen of Death Scary Door Cover can become the centerpiece.

A design that looks great at 2 p.m. may disappear at 8 p.m.

Use porch lighting or outdoor-rated accent lighting so visitors can see the display after sunset.

You don't need to cover every square foot of the porch.

Start with the door. Then add two or three supporting elements such as pumpkins, lighting, cobwebs or skeletons.
