Before you set out on a mission to browse the attic for the same Halloween decoration props you reuse every year and pretend they're still as good as in 2015, let me tell you something. The world has changed. Things got a whole lot more scary this year. And from what we’ve seen happening in 2020 so far, the Jack-o'-lantern ain’t gonna do much in the spooky department.
That’s why people are taking Halloween decorating to a whole new level. Remember the iconic “this is fine” meme from KC Green’s 2013 webcomic “On Fire” that has been surfing all over the internet lately? Apparently, someone just turned their house into the meme for Halloween. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Below, we compiled some of the most relevant, painfully funny, and plain damn spooky Halloween decoration ideas from creative people nailing the haunted night. I mean, this year has been like one big Halloween night, so we had a lot of time to master the bad and the ugly.

I Made A T. Rex Skeleton Entirely Out Of Metal And Finished It Just In Time For Spooky Season
This could go way beyond Halloween decoration. I want to see that Terminator Rex in action.
This is magnificent! So many fantastic things one could do with a T Rex.
I'd use it as christmas decoration too. Little Santa hat, tiny present in it's tiny hand would be awesome lol keep it all year, I love dinosaurs!
Holy smokes I mean wow I'm blown away by the incredible detail nice work very nice
These Baby Dolls Carrying Away Corpses
Imagine these stored in the attic. I bet he sets them up creepy there too.
Dolls creep me out. This is AWESOME! What's with the one in the cage?
To find out more about Halloween decor trends this year, Bored Panda reached out to Miranda Enzor, a Halloween lover and writer who runs the blog “Spooky Little Halloween.”
Miranda said that this year, like every year, current events are a popular choice for Halloween decor. The coronavirus becoming one of the key themes shouldn’t come as a surprise. “People see it as a way to weave a bit of commentary or humor into an otherwise difficult situation,” Miranda explained.

For The First Time, I Decorated For Halloween!
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Nawww, it was the worst., at least in our lifetimes.
Among other Halloween decor trends, recycling and reusing the materials you already have is always a big one. Some people are even happy to mix up Christmas and Halloween decorations. “The small ceramic tree that was so popular in 2019 and returned in 2020 is a perfect example. I think Halloween lovers enjoy the chance to Halloweenify decor from other holidays and make it their own.”
Miranda said that the essence of Halloween decorations is about combining spooky and silly. “Depending on how you celebrate it, Halloween can be a lighthearted, fun, and even silly holiday. I like seeing people have fun with their decor in this way,” the writer concluded.

It's a great idea. If they would have spray painted the insides of the pumpkins red, orange red, or some variations of that, they would have looked much more gruesome. Maybe when only one eyehole is made so maybe not as messy. I think it could enhance it. Maybe.

Have You All Gotten Your Pumpkins Yet?
These are all impressive. I’m curious about what the pumpkins cost in America. Our local supermarket has them priced at $2.90 per kilogram. One fake skeleton will set you back $75 AUD. It would cost a fortune to decorate the way all these guys do.
From where I am (Cincinnati, Ohio), there are pumpkins that are about $10 per pumpkin. For skeletons, it matters the size. There are about 5 ft ones for ~$35 and then there are the 12 ft ones for ~$300. But yeah, these decorations can be expensive. Hope this helps! :)

Love the creativity in all of them, but really, Trump/Biden/voting halloween decorations? Maybe they're awesome to US citizens, but as a non US citizen I don't like them at all. Everything is about the elections already, can't we just have Halloween as it is?
I'm American, and regardless of which party it's for, political Halloween decorations annoy me. I just want to enjoy my Halloween without it being politicized.

Because why we're the 'cool scary" house... this year we need to be not scaring anyone. Just no. Too much else to scare them.

If the theme of Halloween in America is "scary" (as it is in the UK) then why do people dress up as Mickey Mouse, astronauts, rabbits, cowgirls, and princesses?
There are many children and adults that are not down with scary. Also sometimes religion dictates that they wear non scary costumes. My first year in a new city, I took my children to my son's football coach's church for Halloween. He was the youth pastor and they called it a fall festival. It was done very nicely for children and youths and their were 11 short stories that coinsided with the name of a kind of candy, they listened to the story and got the candy. They also had grab bags, punch, snacks, and treats in a common area while they were there. It was pretty nice fun for them, the only hitch was no scary costumes.
Load More Replies...America put a lotttt of effort into Halloween. In Britain, kids get a few haribo if they're lucky enough to stumble upon an abode that can be arsed opening the door. I suppose its scarier in Britain though (from memory) because most of the time youre knocking on doors with no decorations, no lights and the genuine fear you may never return.
That sounds crazy sad. I hate that for the children there. The kids here in the US do love their Halloween and adults as well. My kids are grown now but my daughter and her husband live in a subdivision and I love to sit outside with them on Halloween and give candy. People even bring their babies (less than a year old) dressed up as well. The seemingly endless Spook Parade is one of my all time favorite things every year. Before my kids were old enough to go we would take turns with our family and gather the little ones and make small homemade individual pizzas that the kids get to put on the toppings themselves, have ice cream, popcorn, and a few cheap Halloweeen party toys age appropriate and watch disney halloween cartoons, Hocus Pocus, etc and make sure the little ones enjoyed the night. Just lots of fun. I know Covid has put a damper on some festivities but there's so many small things that kids would love to do also.
