Is it weird that I don’t like horror movies but love Halloween? Maybe, maybe not, but who cares! The important thing is that I adore the spooky vibes of Halloween, the excuse of gobbling down tons of candies (I see you there, ladies), and decorating the entire house in festive elements both cute and creepy.
Now, most people create larger-than-life outdoor Halloween displays or deck up the halls with eerie items. But the windows are often neglected when decorating the house for the spooky season.

Head below to check them out:
