Inflatables, fake headstones, and carved pumpkins are great options for the front yard. Inflatables draw attention, carved pumpkins add classic charm, and faux tombstones give a cemetery vibe.

For easy DIY projects, consider mummy mason jars, bug-infused hand soap, or oversized balloon spiders. Mummy jars only require blindfolds and googly eyes; Bug-infused soap uses plastic bugs in clear soap dispensers; and balloon spiders involve spray-painted balloons and faux fur-covered wire for legs.
