Fashion ghouls out of white material, and sling them from the trees. There  are a lot of options what you can do to your yard to make it really frightening!

The favorite object which a lot of people choose to decorate for Halloween are pumpkins. Pumpkin can be decorated in a variety of styles. Usually people cut them with amusing and weird faces. If you don't want to do all this carving you can decorate your pumpkin in your own   way. Interesting arrangements can be created with plain pumpkins of different sizes.  Sometimes it's fun to draw a picture on your pumpkin. When a pumpkin is being decorated for Halloween anything is possible!

You can have little ghouls as a part of your decoration around the yard. Your kids will enjoy helping you make them. You should get several pieces of cotton strips (the size you choose will determine the size of your ghoul) cotton balls, thread and a pencil. Now attach three cotton balls in the middle of a cotton strip to make the head of a ghoul. To separate the head from the rest of the body tie a thread around the collar of our creature. Pencil in a face and suspend them in different places. As an alternative for thread you can use fishing line which will make the dangling of our ghouls unseen.
