Halloween decorations are as popular as ever with ghostly figures and dreadful objects hanging all over the house. Decorations can be done with DIY Halloween décor or store-bought decorative items if you don’t have enough time to DIY. So far, we have shared ways to decorate the home for the spookiest night of the year. This time, we have some crazy ideas for you to gild your front gate and fence with petrifying objects for Halloween. Check out these cool Halloween fence decoration ideas to add a frightening look to the entrance of your house.

Use Pumpkins

Pumpkins are most commonly used for Halloween decorations. You can carve or paint pumpkins and hang them on the front gate or place them on the fence. You can also use pumpkin lighting strips for a contemporary look. If you’ve dried pumpkins, use them to give a creepy look to the gate.

Cats, Bats, and Ravens

If you don’t have a huge budget for Halloween decorations, you can use small props of cats, bats, and ravens, or simply craft silhouettes using paper, cardboard, or plywood. Place them near the entrance with a faint light to intensify the effect. It will scare the hell out of your guests and passersby, giving them heebie-jeebies. A paper bat garland will complement the entire setup.

Dangle up Entrance with Ghostly Goodies

DIY or purchase ghostly figures, fake flowers, ribbons, and balloons. You can also use scrap pallet wood or plywood to create wordings and other Halloween decorations. You can also use motion sensor-powered Halloween props that will surely fright anyone who comes nearby. Hang a bag full of goodies and candies to tempt neighborhood kids. As they come closer or put their hand inside the bag, the ghostly figure will move or buzz to break them into shivers.
