Halloween is supposed to be the scariest night of the year. You can turn your front gate and fence into a haunting backdrop using spooky decorations to make your house one of the spookiest ones on the block. With lighted jack-o-lanterns on the porch and a scarecrow set off to the side, your house can set the tone for the entire neighborhood.
Cut black cats and scary bats out of cardboard. Place the cats randomly along the bottom of the fence, so they cast long, eerie shadows across the sidewalk. Hang a few bats from trees or the tops of the fence posts, so they look as if they are in flight. With a slight breeze blowing, they top off a frightful night of trick-or-treating.
Spread faux spider webs across your fence and make it look as if your property has been deserted. Spider webs can be stretched from the fence to bushes, creating a pathway towards the porch. Animated skeletons that dance or move when a person passes by can also be added for an extra touch of fright.
Treat bags with battery operated tea lights inside will give a subtle touch of light and guide the trick-or-treaters straight through the cobwebs and up to your front porch.
Create an illuminated ghost garland and hang it on your fence to give it a spooky touch. You can use white fabric and create a hole in it to thread the light through it. Draw eyes and a mouth to give it a ghostly appearance.
You can use electric or battery-powered props to scare your visitors. Put fogging gargoyle at your front gate to spook trick-or-treaters.
Put carved creepy pumpkins on your fence to scare those who walk past your home this Halloween.
To keep things simple, you can create your own Halloween sign out of paper cuttings, stick it to a piece of cardboard with duct tape and place the sign on your fence. You can also consider buying a festive Hallloween Sign or wreath from craft or department stores.
