Decorating the inside of your home for Halloween can be a lot of fun. It is a wonderful time to use your imagination and just go wild. Halloween is the best time to let loose and be creative. Start by finding a means to keep enough light to see, but dim enough to be mysterious and alluring. If you use candles make sure that they are placed in areas that are safe from causing an accidental fire. Be sure and keep them away from decorations and out of reach of the guests and children to prevent them from being knocked over.

Use fake spiders and webs to line the corners and the walls of your home. Look for the ones that are designed to look lifelike and you will enjoy these decorations much more. A combination of wall posters and plastic witches, ghouls and monsters will add to the overall Halloween theme. Add a few skeletons dangling around to reach out and grab anyone's attention as they walk by. Sound effects add to the fun as guests are startled by the occasional scream or rattling of chains as they walk from room to room.

Go all out by not limiting yourself to decorating just one room; instead decorate all the rooms inside your home. Even the bathroom is no exception so that your entire house holds a surprise for anyone brave enough to enter. A room full of scary bats just waiting for prey will keep your guest on their toes. You can even have a few of them set up where they can swoop down on an unsuspecting visitor. Another room could be set aside for the gathering place of the living dead, while other monsters are lurking around every corner of the home.

Are you looking for something a little less dramatic? Then, how about creating a room full of happy ghost and goblins enjoying a Halloween get-together? They can be colorful and designed in different shapes and sizes to add variety to the setting. Some can be posed as if they are dancing while others can be enjoying a friendly beverage together. Add some Halloween music and special effects and the inside of your home is decorated for Halloween in a way that no one will soon forget.
