Your décor... the Halloween version

Because it offers so many possibilities, Halloween has been gaining in popularity. Costumes, decorations, trick or treat… everything’s an excuse to rack one’s brain to make this yearly event a memorable occasion.

Decoration can go a long way in making the day a success, as Halloween lends itself particularly well to extraordinary scenes, one darker, more macabre, scarier and, by all means, funnier than the next!

Designing your scene

Before you begin, you should draw a sketch of your planned décor and, based on the activities that you plan for the evening, allocate the budget to make it come to life. So, what are you going to do on Halloween? Will you go trick or treating with the kids or be at the door to hand out candies and money (Unicef) to all those little monsters, ghouls and goblins that’ll be knocking on your door? Will you be receiving friends and family for a murder mystery game and serving snacks? Or are you one of those who simply love to roam the streets, absorbing the eerie atmosphere on that special night?

Your budget should account for decoration costs, costumes and makeup and, don’t forget, candies and snacks. Each year, new Halloween decoration products and accessories appear on the market. Good planning will prevent impulse buying and unpleasant surprises at the cash register!
For those of you who see Halloween primarily as a children’s event and an autumn celebration, a fall décor is for you. Naturally, this type of scheme emphasizes the fall, the richness of the coloured foliage and the harvest. Use dried ears of corn, all kinds of squash and, of course, pumpkins. It can be set out in mid-September when nature is dressed in its fall colours and remain in place until the first snowfall. As Halloween nears, add some of the traditional elements: a few ghosts, bats, black cats and vampires dancing merrily at the annual ball of horror.
Thematic decors attract the real Halloween aficionados. This décor style features cemeteries where spirits and ghosts roam; or a witch’s lair, with her magic broom and the various ingredients of an evil potion lying haphazardly around the cauldron; or a pumpkin patch featuring a dilapidated scarecrow.

These scenes and decorations, particularly when living beings are used, can attain such a scary level as to make them unsuitable for young children. If there are many pre-schoolers in the neighbourhood, it will be wise to take them into account.
