18 Halloween Front Porch Decorating Ideas [Lookbook]

Do you love spooky? This front porch is frightfully simple. Clusters of candles and lanterns light the steps and a lit tree and hanging ghost combine for an easy Halloween front door.

Pumpkins are always a good idea. Gather them around the front door. Orange hanging lights, jack-o-lantern luminaries and a stand-out pumpkin wreath complete the look.

Gothic accents embrace Halloween’s ghoulish side. Beware the haunted door decoration! Add glittery purple accents, ornate luminaries and a birdcage. And don’t forget a crow. Poe would be proud.

When little ghosts and goblins come knocking, keep the decorating less scary. Use black and orange pumpkin pails, lit Halloween trees and a simple bittersweet wreath.

Snow White’s poison apple still entices. A witch and her apple make any Halloween front porch the neighborhood hit. Invest in a large animated figure or décor each year. Witches and pumpkins never go out of style.

A ghost door decoration is all you need. Add a creepy tree or branches with lights, lanterns and jack-o-lanterns.

Go rustic! Ditch the typical Halloween door signs and hang a welcome sign for a farmhouse twist. Rustic pallet-style pumpkins and pumpkin topiary surround this hillbilly skeleton. Don’t forget to add a straw bale and broom!

What’s more creepy than a few oversized bats? Make bats your Halloween theme. Add a few pumpkin highlights and maybe an old pair of witchy shoes.

Do you have a rustic farmhouse? Haunt your doors with skeleton ghosts, spider web and “dare”ing luminaries.

Black and white and a pithy Halloween door mat anchors this design. Hang a few witches hats, prop and oversized sign and scatter a few skeletons and cats.

Start scaring them before they even get to the door! Make visitors and trick or treaters dodge skeletons, ghosts and spiderwebs. It’s simple, but sure to scare!

Witches and jack-o-lanterns offer scary greetings. Don’t miss your chance to offer a cackling welcome.

A witches trio and cauldron cast a spell over this front door. Add a pumpkin door mat and Halloween door sign.

You know Jack, he’s always ready for a party! Jack-o-lanterns are always a good idea for Halloween spooks.

Hosting a Halloween party? Create a black and white front porch with cats and witch hats. Pumpkins and bittersweet garland add orange splashes.

Prepare for monsters, superheros and princesses to haunt your front door. Candles and lanterns light the steps. A few pumpkins, squash and gourds add color. Finish with simple, elegant fall door wreaths.

A spider web door mat and ghost Halloween door hanger scare up some serious style. Add a few creepy branches and pumpkins to fill in nooks and crannies.

Take a fly-by-night approach and feature a witch, or two. Just a couple fun pieces is all it takes.

Whatever your Halloween decorating style, have fun making this year’s celebration a spooktacular hit!
