Especially if you're planning a daytime monster bash for children, show your sense of humor as you're planning your Halloween decorating ideas. A skeleton relaxing in a tomb can make for a spine-tingling and funny way to welcome guests to your party.

If your home has a fireplace, it's a prime spot for Halloween decorating! Spin some faux spider webs first; stretching it around logs, bricks, stones or moulding. Then top the mantle with torn black gauze and black leaf garland. Add a macabre touch with glitter bones and skulls, ravens picking at the bones, decorative pumpkins and a candelabra.

Even simple Halloween party decorating ideas can be striking.

Zombies are the last word in terror this Halloween whether it's costumes, movies or table decorations.

Give your room a complete cemetery feeling by simply hanging up a Graveyard Room Roll.

If you have a large open room, hang up the Gothic Mansion Room Roll to transform the area into a haunted mansion. Set up a table with glasses and trays that are ready for serving food and drinks. Add subtly spooky decorative touches to the table with black leaf table sprinkle and black picture frames. Write mysterious quotes in your black frames to set a ghastly vibe.
