Halloween Home Tour: The Haunted Front Porch

Ideas for Halloween “spirit” on the front porch with skeletons and even a ghost making themselves at home on the porch this October! ⟹

My family loves Halloween and has always been big into dressing up and decking the house out in fun decorations. And just because the kids are no longer here doesn’t mean we’ve lost our Halloween “spirits”!

I think it is the most fun holiday season second only to Christmas so there’s no way I’m sitting this one out. This home is great to decorate for the holidays and is especially suited for Halloween. One of my friends jokingly called it the haunted mansion when we bought it, but mostly because of its state of disrepair and because she loves Disney. But I think about it every year around this time and it makes me laugh…whoever planned this house had to be a tad bit eccentric. (But not quite as bad as the Winchester widow who went crazy and built rooms and staircases to nowhere to hide from ghosts!)

If you’d like to read our story of how we came to buy this house and some before pictures, you can see it here.

I’ve just finished “haunting” our house and I’d like to show you around. Today let’s start in the front…

Skeletons have taken up residence in my fall wreaths to greet victims, ahem… visitors. And a motion-activated black cat stands guard. Making guests and delivery people jump never gets old when his eyes light up, his head turns around, and he howls loudly!

We’ve had several other ghastly guests also make themselves at home on the porch.

This guy is just chilling in our porch rocker.

Bijoux is not too sure about these new tenants. Especially that skinny dog!

And our ghost, Victoria (the Victorian bride) makes her annual appearance on the balcony. She is always a hit with the neighborhood kids! Maybe she lived here long ago…

She’s brought her giant spider minions with her. And we haven’t decided if the skeleton is climbing over the balcony to run away or climbing up to be her henchman!

Further out in the yard, a graveyard has popped up.

This resident of the cemetery was apparently a ham striking a pose for the camera!

Things get kind of creepy at night. On Halloween, I also set up a fog machine for the front porch to up the fear factor. Maybe Victoria lives in the very top room above the balcony…

Thanks for visiting our “haunted manor”! I hope you enjoyed hanging out on the porch and meeting our Halloween visitors.

There’s more to come inside. Come join me in the next post….if you dare! Mwahahahaha!!!
