Halloween Front Porch decor with DIY tombstones

Halloween Porch #1: Make these super easy DIY tombstones from this tutorial to scare up a good time!

What’s great about this front porch is the simple color scheme and repetition makes the elements stand out, so you don’t need to spend a whole lot of money to get a cute look.

Halloween Porch #2: I’m in love with these awesome Dead and Breakfast signs for Halloween! Check out more of this knock-you-dead porch!

It’s a really cool theme that is fun and spooky. This year, I am hoping to add a Witches’ Potion shop sign to our front yard. I think it’s really unique and can last for many years.

DIY halloween decorations - sign for parties

Halloween Porch Decor #3: How awesome is this choose your Halloween Adventure sign?! You can download the signs instantly and make your own welcoming entrance.

Throw some cobwebs around it, maybe a black cat, and the classic pumpkins to stake into the ground to complete the spooky look.

*Tip: Laminate the signs to protect from the elements. I also rub a bit of glue around the edges to keep water from getting into them.

Halloween Porch #4: Hilarious door mats are great to add to your Halloween decor. This DIY door mat from Longwood Lane is really simple to make and fun!

If you’re looking for outdoor Halloween decorating ideas with a sense of humor, door mats are so easy!

Halloween Porch #5: Ornaments aren’t just for Christmas! This DIY ornament wreath tutorial is perfect for Halloween.

I love how colorful and festive it is! The colors scheme gives it that classic Halloween feel, but the spider in the middle really brings home the creepiness.

For me, spiders are the absolute creepiest thing. I’d rather battle a horde of zombies than take on one giant spider. EEK!

Halloween Porch Idea #6: This creepy fun scene from Atta Girl Says is one of my favorites!

The small details like the lanterns, cobwebs on the glass, and the apothecary jars complete the spooky look. This is definitely one of the most creative outdoor Halloween decoration scenes I’ve seen.

Stacked Pumpkin Heads - Pumpkin Topiary for Halloween Front Door Decorations

Halloween Porch Idea #7: I couldn’t do a list of Halloween porch decor without mentioning my favorite DIY pumpkin topiary.

These light up really well and the sinister carved pumpkins are so fun to greet the trick or treaters with. I don’t have a covered porch, so these are like a gateway to getting the candy.

Halloween Porch Decor #8: If your house has a lot of windows, adding window clings really amps up the haunted house vibe. These halloween window silhouettes from Snazzy Little Things are fun, creepy, and sinister all in one! You can instant download them here.

Halloween Porch Decorating Idea #9: I love how compact this Witches Go Riding sign is for easy storage, but it will make the neighbors stop and stare to read it!

If you don’t have a huge porch and want some small porch Halloween decorations, it’s a good idea to feature just one unique element as a sort of centerpiece and surround it with smaller scary elements like the blackbirds, jack-o-lanterns, cobwebs, and bats.

Halloween Porch Decorating #10: Who doesn’t love a good upcycle?! This Blackbird Wreath from Oh My Creative is inventive and affordable to make.

Since I don’t have a covered porch, I am very limited in what I can use for a wreath. This idea seems fairly sturdy for outdoor use.

Halloween porch decor with bold black and white and fall folliage - falloween!

Halloween Porch #11: This bold black and white porch features a striped rug, lighted trees, and an arrangement of pumpkins and fall foliage. I love the idea of mixing fall and Halloween so that there isn’t as much need to store stuff or spend hours redecorating.

Outdoor Halloween Decorations - witches holding hands

Halloween Porch #12: Ok, technically these witches holding hands probably can’t fit on most front porches. But they are still really, really cool and spooky! I really love cheap outdoor halloween decorations especially, and you could make these pretty inexpensively with pvc pipe, halloween costumes, and clear resin globes.

I imagine them greeting guests the same way as the rest of the front porch decor and witches are definitely one of the quintessential Halloween decorations. There is just something creepy about soulless humanoid figures dancing around your yard.

Which of these Halloween Front Porch Decorations will you be including this year? If I could fit them all, I would certainly try!
