spooky halloween decorations

Orange and black are the key colors for any Halloween party, and some blood-red accents don't hurt either. If you're keeping costs down, streamers are a simple way to create some atmosphere.

Hang orange and black streamers on doorways, stairways and windows. Cut streamers to the length of your doorway and hang them with tape to create a dramatic curtain into your living room.

Line bookshelves and mantles with fake cobwebs, and replace plain light bulbs with red bulbs for a ghoulish glow.

A pumpkin makes an ingenious centerpiece. Cut off the top, hollow it out, and fill with black silk flowers.
