World`s Insanest Scary Halloween Haunted House Ideas
1. The CobWebbed Entryway
What would Halloween be without creepy cobwebs and spiders? Now, from the looks of it, designing the cobwebbed decor might be a nightmare in itself. Thankfully, looks can be deceiving, and it is not half as complicated as it might seem.
This design can be easily achieved with the generous use of white cloth and stretchable spider webs. In case of the spiders, you can take the effort to make them out of papier-mâché or simply purchase plastic models.

2. DESigning SPELL-BOOKS
Spell-books can be a great way to accentuate your Halloween decor. Moreover, they are not at all complicated to make. All you need are some old books, glue and tissue paper. For the bones, we suggest you clean some chicken bones and wrap them with glue and tissue paper. The leg bones will be ideal for this case.

3. bleeding halloween candles
Like spell-books, Halloween candles are a great way to take your decor to the next level. The best part about this is the simplicity. You can easily make bleeding candles by dripping wax from a red candle onto a white one. Moreover, you can add nails to make it even more dramatic.
via popsugar.com
4. The standing coffin
While the standing Coffin may not look all that intimidating, you can always get creative and introduce scary elements inside the Coffin. For example, you can put a ghastly spring-loaded figure which will pop out the moment someone opens the door.
via born2haunt.com
5. the spooky window
To be honest, most of us have seen too many horror films to be actually scared by this. However, with the element of surprise, you can transform this into something quite petrifying. How, you ask? Well, you can keep a light switch to reveal the otherwise hidden scary figure, or you can introduce the spooky figure later while your friends are asleep. Make sure you make enough sound to wake them up and rejoice at their chilling screams.
6. Zombie apocalypse
Whether you are a fan of The Walking Dead or not, you will surely agree that zombies are not only repulsive with the right decor, they can be extremely frightening as well. Now, the decor might look pretty complex at first sight, but we assure you that is not the case. You can easily achieve this by purchasing some zombie hand props online or by making them out of papier-mâché.
via scare-zone.com
7. The Cobwebbed Entrance
A great first impression will go a long way in making your Halloween memorable and what better way to make a stellar impression than with a spooky cobwebbed entrance. Moreover, it does not take much time and effort to complete this decor.
via Pinterest
8. The Spooky Gravestone
Another way to get your guests in the Halloween spirit is with a creepy gravestone. If you can execute it properly, then it will look ideal in your front lawn. Crafting the gravestone is also relatively simple. All you need is some black paint, skeleton hand props, a large cardboard box and an old rag.

9. Hallway filled with Hanging Balloons
Who said Halloween has to be terrifying always? Sometimes, you need to twist things up a little. The decor idea featured in the illustration can be a fun project to work on if you are expecting a lot of kids at your Halloween party.
via Pinterest
10. The Frightening Head
While it looks like it may not freak anyone out, we believe that with the right execution and environment, a creepy head can send chills down anyone’s spine. Moreover, it is pretty straightforward to make, and you can even let your kids get creative with these scary heads.

11. Spooky Tree Signs
The trick to achieving the ideal Halloween themed tree signs is getting the font right. The signs themselves are the simple part; you can easily make them by deconstructing an old crate. We would suggest you experiment with some fonts and colors to get the perfect combination.

12. Glow Sticks In Toilet Paper Rolls

via Pinterest
13. Wade through a Sea of Balloons
Kids will absolutely love this Halloween decor and if you are expecting a bunch of kids this Halloween, then you can impress them with this epic project! You can also choose to step things up by creating a entire maze of balloons and watch the kids scream in exhilaration when they wade through your balloon maze.

14. Beheaded By The Garage Door
If you get a kick out of random people screaming their lungs out, then this is exactly what you need. The best thing about this bone-chilling prop is that it will work just as well in broad daylight as it will work at night.
Now, the good news about designing this seemingly complicated dead body prop is that you do not need to create a robust internal structure to hold everything together. Since the body will be lying down on the ground, all you need to focus on is the stuffing. We suggest you make the innermost part of the stuffing with toilet paper rolls, old newspapers or plastic bottles, the latter option being the fastest, you can refine the outermost parts by using cotton.

15. Skeletons Climbing The House
Let’s face it; nobody gets scared by skeletons these days. But, they can be used creatively to express your Halloween spirit without offending anyone. While some props can be considered garish and downright tasteless, skeletons will not induce any such negative feelings. Moreover, they are quite inexpensive and easy to obtain.

- Part of the original Crazy Bonez skeleton line
16. The Zombie in a Well
The Zombie in a Well prop can be a great addition to your backyard Halloween decor. However, even if you are all about the DIY life, creating this can be quite a tedious process. For starters, you will need generous amounts of cardboard to shape the well. After you build the basic structure, you need to wrap it up with papier-mâché to create an uneven texture.
The next step is to paint the well. Finally, you need to put the zombie prop inside the well. Now, the last step can be simplified if you choose to purchase a prop instead of making one yourself.

17. The Grim Reaper’s Lair
If you are planning on taking your Halloween decor to the next level, this is one way to do it. If you have a long hallway, then you can redecorate it to achieve this frightening spectacle. The crucial things here are the lighting and the element of surprise. In fact, you can take advantage of the creepy figures by hiding a real human who will scream the moment an unsuspecting guest passes through the hallway.
via Pinterest
18. The Horror Maze
While an empty maze may not look all that intimidating for most, you can get creative with some scary elements and make it truly terrifying. The illustration featured here is just to give you an idea of designing the maze. We suggest you use black tarps instead of the cheerful colors in the image.

19. The Emergency Room
The Emergency Room decor can be a really nice Halloween decor idea for your backyard. Moreover, it is quite simple to execute as well. All you need are a couple of props resembling a human body, a white translucent curtain, and a light source.
However, you can step up your game if you can merge elementary robotics with this. How, you ask? Well, imagine if the hand of the prop was remote controlled to go up and down and on top of that you have a synchronized audio of bone-chilling screams. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
20. The One-Legged Woman
The One-Legged Woman prop might be one of the more underrated ideas on this list. However, you can easily freak out any unsuspecting guest by blocking a narrow hallway with this prop. On the other hand, if you are building a scary maze, we believe that this prop will be right at home there.

21. Haunted House Decor
Redecorating the exterior of your house to make it look like haunted can be a great way to express your Halloween spirit. However, we must confess that it is no easy task. In fact, we will need more than a few helping hands to execute this to perfection.
Now, the generous use of spider webs in the illustration might seem a little daunting. However, the good news is that these are readily available for purchase, but it might take a lot of manual effort to achieve the perfect haunted houses look.
via Pinterest
22. It AKA Pennywise the Clown
Imagine if you hid this blood-curdling clown prop in your guest room closet. You can almost visualize the sweet symphony of your friends screaming and freaking out. However, we suggest you do not go overboard if any of your guests suffer from heart conditions.

23. The Peeping Clown
If your bathroom has a ceiling opening, then that is the perfect spot to put your scary clown prop. Your unsuspecting guests will surely freak out as soon as their eyes stray towards the ceiling.

24. The Spooky Walkway
With the help of some old wooden crates, you can easily build a narrow walkway with creepy elements such as the one you see in the illustration. However, if skeleton hand props are not your thing, you can also decorate it with zombie hands.
25. Get Crafty With Wooden Crates
Parts from old wooden crates can also be used to construct a petrifying maze. However, building a maze out of wooden crates is no walk in the park. But on the bright side, if you are tenacious and handy with carpentry tools, then we believe you will be up to the task.
How you plan on building the maze is completely up to you. We suggest you blend different ideas from this list along with your own to create something truly terrifying.
26. The Electric Chair
The Electric Chair has brought doom to many criminals; however, in this case, we are sure that it will not induce any negative feelings. In fact, we believe that it will be a fun addition to your interior Halloween decor and guests will enjoy taking turns to sit on this chair.

via Pinterest
30. Ghost With A Lantern
Don’t these ghoulish spirits look absolutely terrifying? Well, maybe not in this lighting but they will be quite formidable in a dimly lit room. The trick to creating these floating ghosts is getting started with building a sturdy standing structure which consists of a base and a slim pole. The next step would be to create the upper body structure and cover it up with a black cloth. Finally, you can make generous use of white rags to create the floating effect.
31. The Terrifying Prisoner
The Terrifying Prisoner prop can be a brilliant addition to your basement Halloween decor. While it may look sophisticated to build, it really isn’t that complicated as most of the elements in this decor can be purchased.
First, you will need to acquire a large dog cage to put your prisoner inside. Now, for the prisoner prop, all you need to do is just purchase a realistic head, and you can make use of bottles to shape the body. To make the decor even more authentic, we suggest you use glow paint as shown in the illustration.

35. The Decapitated Human
If you have a lust for blood, then this might be right up your alley. However, we believe you can easily create a more horrifying version of the prop shown in the illustration. You might be wondering how to get started with creating this prop? The good news is that you really do not need to go through a tiresome procedure or buy expensive items.
First, you should get a large panel that will house the decapitated body. Then you need to make a rough human shape and stuff the trousers and shirt with padding. Once you are satisfied with the result, pin the entire body on the panel and create cutouts wherever you feel necessary. Finally, use red paint generously to create the horrifying look you desire.
via homesthetics.net
36. The Scarecrow
If you are looking to spruce up your outdoor Halloween decor, a creepy scarecrow can be a great way to do so. You can casually place this prop on your front porch chair or keep it standing in your lawn. Moreover, this prop can be easily created out of old items lying around your house.

37. The Beheaded Man
Now, this is one prop which can shock any innocent passerby and trigger a 911 call. But the good news is that it is quite simple to create this prop. While you can use different things to stuff the headless body, we would suggest using an old pillow for the torso. The rest of the prop is quite straightforward. However, we would advise you to place a bloodied axe or a sword beside the prop to create a more dramatic effect.

41. Spooky Black Cutouts
Black cutouts in the shape of Halloween figures can be a great way to adorn your garage door.

45. Create a Noodle Maze with Horrifying Elements
A standalone noodle maze may be more fitting in a children’s birthday party. However, you can tweak a few things to make this genuinely terrifying. How you ask?

57. Horrifying Indoor Walkway with Dramatic Red Lighting
This is one of the more complicated Halloween decor ideas and definitely not aimed at the faint of heart. If you want to remodel your existing walkway to look like this, you will require lots of wooden crates, planks, stretchable spider webs, old cloth and finally multiple red LED bulbs.
