Halloween decorations that will get you in the spooky spirit

Keep your home seriously spooky this Halloween season with these scary finds for indoors and out

Making the most of your Halloween means decorating your home for the season and possibly investing in items that might serve you well year-round. While some people take decorating for the holiday more intensely than others, you can also take the hint-of-haunt approach and leave subtle clues around your home, like a skull-print accent pillow or black lace tablecloth. And as much as interior accessories take the front seat, you should never forget the exterior of your home; we’re talking doormats, lighting, inflatable skeletons – the works. But beware – shopping for Halloween can turn into a bit of an addiction. Happy haunting!
