1. Scare Your Guests this Halloween with Haunted Porch Decor 

1. 100-Year-Old House Untouched for Years #frontporch #halloween #decorhomeideas

The decor of this porch aims to anchor the feeling of a very old house that has been once haunted. There is a zombie in the chair waiting to greet you and a skeleton on the floor, looking at the door.

The tattered drapes made from burlap enhance the aged look of this place. There is a scary black creature on the floor that has opened its mouth to threaten you.

The large sign between the drapes warns you to think twice before you enter this place. Looking at the overall arrangement, this is a classic and spooky Halloween decor.

2. Give Your Porch the Ultimate Halloween Look

2. An Almost Peaceful Halloween Setting #frontporch #halloween #decorhomeideas

The candles of this Halloween porch decor make you feel so cozy. But they are not there to welcome you. They are a means to give only a weak illumination so that you don’t see the creatures waiting for you.

A zombie is waiting by the door and a large spider is hanging from the door to scare you. A spooky bow embellished by a skull jewelry stands right to the number of the spookiest house ever.

Then you see nets of spiders thickly spreading over the window shutters. This Halloween porch decoration is a masterpiece.

The urns where the topiaries sit are surrounded by various sizes and colors of pumpkins to balance the art with tradition. The haunted houses act as signs anchoring the atmosphere of the house behind them.

More Halloween flavor could be seen on the front door where a wreath made of black branches is covered with pieces of a spider web.

61. Upcycle Tin Cans into Rustic Halloween Lanterns

61. Tin-Can Alley on Halloween #frontporch #halloween #decorhomeideas

This is a genius idea how to upcycle baby food tins into Halloween decor. Use a sharp instrument to drill holes in lines that form the well-known jack-o-face. Then fill the parts of this face with black paint.

Two other tins are painted black and then with the same dot technique the words trick and treat are inscribed. Place candles inside the tins to let the light illuminate the hole traces. Since the tins are small, you can use them to embellish the railing or the windowsills.

65. Uplift Your Porch Windows with Web and Spider Decor

65. Window Spider Web and Dangling Spider #frontporch #halloween #decorhomeideas

You can put Halloween decorations on every window on the porch. To not overwhelm the atmosphere, we suggest trying this spider web idea.

The web is made with black yarn tied in knots that form the web pattern. You can attach a plastic spider to the center or leave it hanging from the end of the yarn to make the faux web more realistic.

66. Make Your Guests Smile with a Witch in an Urn

66. Witch in the Urn #frontporch #halloween #decorhomeideas

This is such an incredible and fun idea. Leg parts from a mannequin are dressed in socks and then turned upside down to peek out from a large urn on the porch.

A pair of witch-type shoes cover the feet to give the faux legs a more realistic look. A craw stands in front of them and is peculiarly looking aside.

The simple but very impressive Halloween decor is anchored by a round sign that clearly states where the witch is.

68. Reimagine Your Porch with a Rustic Grateful Sign

68. You Can Never be Too Grateful Sign Post #frontporch #halloween #decorhomeideas

This porch Halloween decor is not that spooky but it deserves its place in the collection because it is very elegant and thoughtful.

The column wrapped in autumn leaves and berries makes a stylish statement for autumn. The handmade sign praises Thanksgiving day.

The pumpkin sign on the front door emphasizes both fall and Halloween. This porch decor idea can be recreated with simple materials that you can find at the Dollar Store.
