8 spooktacular Halloween decorations to turn your home into a haunted house

By Lizzy Buczak, Audacy

Halloween is just around the corner, which means you should be thinking about how you're going to decorate your home and yard!

Part of the Halloween fun – aside from dressing up in costumes and going trick-or-treating – is decking your house in spooky inflatables and animatronics.

And it’s even more important this year with social distancing measures in place. With so many people skipping the usual Halloween festivities, there’s never been more emphasis being placed on your decorations.
