Scared of being basic? Just because your trick-or-treating days have come and gone doesn’t mean you can’t embrace Halloween with frighteningly fun decor. Whether you’ve been haunting the web for festive inspiration or you’re just ready to get into the spooktacular spirit, check out these delightfully over-the-top decorated homes for Halloween.
IT’s Scary Fun
Question: is there anything scarier than a creepy clown? Answer: yes – a gazebo full of creepy clowns! The Forestridge Haunted Yard in Coquitlam, BC features a crowd of giggling, ghoulish clowns as part of a home display in support of Variety – The Children’s Charity.
Halloween Night Lights
When night falls, the Forestridge Haunted Yard house lights up with ghosts, goblins and other eerie characters from roof to sidewalk.
Jaw-Dropping Fun
When ghoulish themes meet artistic decor, the result is monstrously charming. The annual Anmore Manor Haunted House in Anmore, BC uses enchantingly realistic decorations and creatures to transform a home into a walkthrough haunt experience – with donations welcome in support of the local Share Society.
Creepy From the Ground Up
Take note: the illusion of zombies and other other-worldly creatures crawling out of the grave (or the front yard) adds hair-raising fun to an over-the-top Halloween display.
Walking Wicked
RIP, ho-hum Halloween decor. This unreal display from The Halloween House of RVC takes undead inspiration to the next level with zombies, tombstones and a totally terrifying tableau.
A Spirited Light Show
Are you afraid of the dark? Don’t be! At night, The Halloween House of RVC comes even more to life with a mix of colourful lights enhancing the spooky atmosphere.
Spooky Sidewalks
Who says you need to limit your Halloween spirit to your front door? Gardens, driveways and sidewalks are the perfect canvas for over-decorating in honour of Halloween. The bigger, the better.

Scary Stylish
Dramatic decorations don’t always have to be big and bright – or outside. The trick to seriously stylish spooks? Treat your home to Halloween-themed details that match and enhance your year-round decor, like white skulls and cobwebs covering your neutral-hued space.
