Use dim lighting with shadowy, striped wallpapers to mimic the twisted house from the movie. Add Halloween accents like black cat figurines, faux spiders, and tiny pumpkins for an extra chilling effect.
Supernatural Spook
For a Supernatural twist this Halloween, decorate with ghost-hunting props to incorporate haunted house vibes into your home. Use fake salt circles around doorways (a nod to the show’s protection ritual), and hang ghost silhouettes in corners to give the space a paranormal touch.

Harry Potter Haunt
Bring Harry’s wizarding world into your home with floating candles, old books, and Hogwarts house banners. Drape your walls in deep burgundy or emerald velvet to give it that magical Great Hall vibe.
