This week’s question: How would you describe your Halloween decorating style? Campy and vampy? Sheer terror? Kooky and kid-friendly? Classic horror?
I love campy scary… this year's theme is a "Thriller" style Halloween
Love these and so original.
I would really love to win these! I saw them in a Halloween store and they were very cool. I love Halloween!
Scooby, scooby doo where are you we got some work to do now!
My style? Country meets spooky. If it's cute in a spooky way, that's for me. If it's creepy, it's not for me.
Black and white Halloween, no blood or horror but very moody. Martha Stewart anything! I love the Victorian Halloween theme. Quirky and different.
Very Halloweey
Classic horror! I have over 300 black birds in my dining room, it freaks everybody out! I love Halloween, it's my favorite holiday!
I like the classic horror decorations. Halloween has always been a big fun halloween for me and my family as we make a hautned house for the whole neighborhood to come through in our garageand front yeard almost every year. I can get expensive but to see everyone have a ton of fun and get totally scared its priceless
My style is " lacking and needs help". I would like it to be scary, silly and fun. These would help!
I give great candy so the lil dears have to earn it …with their screams Mawhahaha! The creepier the better
My kids would be scared too death. LOL
This is our first Holliday in our new home and Halloween is my favorite. Can't wait. Scary. So much fun and so excited. Have started buying decorations. Some stuff already out front. Awesome……
I used to decorate the place in true classic Halloween style when my kids were younger. Now that they are grown and gone, and I am working full time, long hours, I am lucky to get anything decorated for this holiday. I would love to have one of these busts to help with decor this year!
Classic horror is the way to go. Who doesn't love Dracula, Frankenstein, witches and ghosts.I don't go into anything that has to do with "slasher" movies or too bloody.
I try to decorate with as much horror as possible. Also, I try to be as original as possible, who wants to see the all the houses decorated alike?
Very Spooky! Love it!
Minimal
Kid friendly, quirky fun!!!!!!!!!
I love to decorate and would describe my style as "trying to be scare, buy very kid friendly". My problem is that we live in the country and our only trick or treaters are our grandkids!! None the less I decorate every year and prepare a treat bowl of candy!!
We just bought a house and can't wait to decorate! We have a toddler who is just thrilled about going out & trick or treating in our neighborhood! We are up for anything! Our son loves browsing through all the Halloween decor at the stores. He's surprisingly mature – he picked out his own outfit last year – a silver boogie man mask & glow in the dark bones outfit – twas awesome! This prize would be great to win. We would use it for many years to come. Thank you!
I like scary without gross. This would be cool on my porch.
My Halloween style would definitely have to be classic horror…Love to put out my tombstones, spiders, webs, eerie music, dummies, ghosts hanging the trees,black silk flowers in the garden,and a few eerie intricately carved pumpkins.
Kid Kooky with a mild touch of classic horror would define our style! Just a little scary ,as we have lots of younger kids around here.
Ha! What a crazy, fun idea! I like the way they don't really stand out as halloween decorations… all the better for a good scare.
now they are some awsome looking decorations love the red eyes im going to make a few qr codes linking to this image
Kooky and Kid friendly at our house! Lots of friendly ghosts and witches..
I strive for classic horror….
We had stopped decorating for Halloween because we lived so far out in the country.Now we have moved back into the city and have really gotten back into it.Spent all weekend making tombstones and coffins.Our yard is spooky but not gorry, my kids and me put a lot of effort into decorating.
I take a non-scary approach. I prefer a look that is mostly fall-themed instead of Halloween so that it can stay up through the rest of the season. Mixing in a few Halloween items for an October touch!
Spooky and Kid Friendly. I grew up with parents who loved Halloween. Every year we would create a haunted house in our backyard and put signs up all over the neighborhood for people to come to it. It was the best. I would love to win Velma and Evander, with money being tight I have not been able to buy anything new and this is awesome. Booooooooo
We decorate for the "fall". Lots of pumpkins and fall colors…that way we keep it up through Thanksgiving.
whimsical terror! Make it appealing to both children and adults! Love these!
We have a lot of Disney decor. Especially for the "Haunted Mansion" look. It's always fun and kid friendly.
These would be sooo perfect in my new home. Im actually excited to decorate this year because we will be getting kiddos on our door step. eeekkk!!! super excited. I gonna decorate this year a bit frightning, scary…a bit eerie… (wahahahaha- my evil laugh! )
Vampy!!!
Classic Horror, it's the best way to get everyone in the mood. I love this couple, so fun and just spooky!xD
I like it all,of course the kid's come first. but truly a good fright is what's needed for Halloween!!!!
Great for the goblins & ghosts!

What a nice way to scare the children. Fun! They will love it!
kooky and slightly creepy. we love to get the kids involved. they love spiders and skeletons, and a couple of real scares!
A little of everything. But mostly spooky and fun. Kids run to the door and sya "lady your house is scary !" But they come back every year
