Halloween Decorating Ideas

The rustling of dead leaves, crisp night air, mysterious sounds in the dark. Give your home that haunted house feel with these eerie -- and extraordinarily easy -- Halloween decorating ideas.

Greet your guests in an eerie entryway on All Hallows Eve with these ghostly decorating tricks:

Hang black rubber bats from your chandelier, lampshade or ceiling fan. Also string them around your doorknobs and outdoor lights.

Use a carved pumpkin as a planter to hold fall branches and leaves -- and don't forget those cobwebs.

Light up a spider and bat candleholder.

Set up your own mad scientist lab experiment with jars full of vampire teeth, green water, spiders and bats.
