Friendly or Scary?

The best Halloween outdoor decorations 2018 are divided into two distinct categories. Nowadays, particularly due to extreme sensitivity in our society, everything is moderated to a certain degree. Halloween has also been moderated; Halloween decorations have been divided into two categories: “friendly” and “scary”. Friendly Halloween decorations typically consist of orange, black, and purple colors. Friendly decorations also tend to depict smiling ghosts, pumpkins, skeletons, and Frankensteins. These types of decorations are made to appeal to younger children. Halloween cannot be too scary to scare off children! Scary Halloween decorations are where the true spirit of Halloween come into play. Most scary decorations range from demons to murderous clowns. For example, scary decorations are filled with bloody, gruesome images that send child down your spine. These decorations are anything but child friendly! Scary decorations serve on purpose- to scare the life out of you. Now that we have distinguished the difference between friendly and scary Halloween decorations, let’s take a look at the best Halloween outdoor decorations 2018 for both categories.

Animatronics

The first thing we will be looking at are animatronics, which are the scariest of the best Halloween outdoor decorations 2018. Many companies are pushing the sales of animatronics this Halloween season, and there is a good reason too- animatronics are so cool! If you are unfamiliar with animatronics, they are figures that are constructed to look like real life objects. You could call them robots because many of them have a thin plastic or latex coating, they move as if they are real, and make sounds. I know what you are think right now, your thoughts probably look like this: WOW! Animatronics must be really expensive if they are lifelike! Unfortunately, you are right; the cheapest animatronic that I have seen thus far has a price tag of $114. (When you see one in person, you will understand that it is worth the money). Let’s take a look at some of the coolest Halloween animatronics 2018! Lil' Rocking Rosie

Lil’ Rocking Rosie is a demonic looking little girl in a dress on a rocking horse that has a decapitated horse head on it. The girl’s eyes light up and she sings a creepy rendition of “Hush Little Baby”. She is a perfect addition to a creepy doll theme or a demonic child theme. Party City $129.99 Jumping Jenny

Jumping Jenny is a demonic girl who is activated by motion sensors. When activated, her eyes light up and she begins moving the jumprope back and forth while singing creepy songs and laughing. Party City $69.99 Creepy Caretaker

The Creepy Caretaker is absolutely perfect for a graveyard theme. It looks like a creepy man wearing a black cloak with light-up eyes that says creepy things like, “Who goes there?” And “You dare to enter this graveyard?”. When the motion sensor is triggered, he pops up to scare people and starts saying his phrases. Party City $99.99 Haunted Witch

This is perhaps the best animatronic for trick-or-treaters because the haunted witch holds a candy bowl in her lap that can bait trick-or-treaters to trigger the motion sensor, which is, you guessed it, in the candy bowl! Once triggered, the witch pops up, her eyes light up, and she starts a creepy witch laugh that will give you chills! This is a must have in your front yard!

Hanging Props

Hanging props can certainly be more cost effective than animatronics. Although, there are some fancy hanging props that are expensive. Hanging props vary in size shape and scariness. You could essentially buy any of type of hanging props and still have some of the best Halloween outdoor decorations 2018. For the most part, all of the biggest names in Halloween have high-quality hanging props. Sidenote: Hanging props look just as good indoors as they do outdoors. So I’ve heard that many of you need ideas for where you could stage your hanging props, let’s take a look into that. Here is a little trick for people who do not have a place to hang their hangining props- you don’t actually have to hang a hanging prop! Many of the best hanging props have thin-metal wire arms that can be bent and shaped, so you could stage it behind things around your house. For example, you could stage it holding onto the back of a car in the driveway, propped up on a fence, or even put it behind another Halloween decoration in your yard. If you are inclined to hang it, you could hang the props from a tree around your house, a gutter on your house, or even a window sill! You could virtually put a hanging prop anywhere if you really think about it. Let’s now take a look at the coolest hanging props of 2018.

Graveyard Decorations

A very common theme for a yard is setting up a graveyard look. There are numerous different options when it comes to setting up a graveyard theme. Here, we will focus primarily on the actual haunted graveyard props because you could realistically put any other type of prop into your graveyard theme. Your list of essentials for a haunted graveyard theme is quite small, it consists of: tombstones, moss, fencing, ground-breaker props, caution tape, and fog machines. Decorating the yard for this theme is relatively simple as well; you scatter the tombstones around the yard to resemble a cemetery, you put groundbreaking props in front of select tombstones to give the impression that the dead is rising, use fencing and caution tape around the entire area or select tombstones to give an even spookier effect, and last but not least, a grounded fog machine to disperse a thick and mysterious fog on the floor of your graveyard!
