It’s the time of year for ghosts and ghouls, goblins and bobbing for apples, pumpkin dishes and scary witches! But who wants to spend tons of cash to get the best looking Haunted House on the block? Not me… or you. Why spend a fortune on pre-made decorations when you can add class, charm, and a bit of fright – for a frightfully low price?

COURTESY HONEY & FITZ
Make a Mummified entrance with this Halloween door DIY from Honey and Fitz. Tape paper streamers to the front door, overlapping the strips to give a wrapped look. Then, cut sheets of black and white construction paper into circles to make eyes. Place the eyes on the top of the door and tape to secure.

This cheap AND easy idea comes from NiftyThriftyThriving.com They used 1′ foam board, traced out the design for the teeth and eyes and cut it out using the blade of a hand saw. Then they painted everything white using flat white paint and added the eyes and teeth outlines using acrylic paint.
