Everyone has their own style when it comes to Halloween decorations. For some, it’s classic, with pumpkins and other autumnal accents being added to tabletops, mantelpieces and other spots around the house. For others, the holiday offers up a chance to finally unleash their spooky sides and embrace the macabre and deck their pads out with everything from terror-inducing animatronics to fake cobwebs and so much more.
