Be ‘that’ neighbor with Walmart’s over-the-top Halloween yard decor

Shock trick-or-treaters with Walmart’s over-the-top Halloween yard decorations

You can find just about any kind of Halloween decoration at Walmart, from the knickknacks you scatter on your tables, shelves and mantel to the gargantuan inflatables that take up practically your entire yard. If you’re reading this, then you’re the type to appreciate the latter approach. Don’t worry, there’s plenty to choose from besides inflatables and there are plenty of styles choose from, from the classical “spooky but not scary” to family-friendly to basically a real-life murder scene.

Yard decor types

There are six types of yard decorations you can take advantage of this Halloween.

Entryway

Entryway decorations are what greet you when you come home and the last thing a trick-or-treater or party guest sees when they get to your door. If your yard decorations are the setup, then the entryway decorations are the punchline. Examples include doormats, wreaths and banners.

Hanging

Hanging decorations are anything that’s based in the air. They can hang from trees, your home or bars you might add to your yard just for them. Don’t neglect hanging decorations, even if you think they’re too much effort, because they’re a key part of transforming your yard décor into a more full experience. Examples include bats, witches and ghosts.

Inflatable

Inflatable decorations are often the centerpiece of a yard, especially if you’re going for a family-friendly atmosphere. You can use several smaller ones or you can go with a big one or maybe two if they aren’t huge. Just be careful not to overpower the rest of your decor. Inflatables can take many forms, but are commonly pumpkins and ghosts.

Interactive

Interactive decorations are typically the most expensive because they require many moving pieces, including a triggering mechanism, such as motion, sound, touch or a combination of the three. These are almost always meant to startle and scare, so you might want to avoid them if the neighborhood kids are all young. They can be as large as a person or as small as a head.

Lights

Lights are tricky when it comes to decorating your yard for Halloween. In some cases, adding lights can illuminate things you’d prefer to keep in shadow for fuller effect. In others, it can add atmosphere such as using small red lights to highlight a blood-soaked lawn. Essentially, the scarier you want your yard to be, the less you’re likely to use lights.

Ornamental

Ornamental decorations are all the little things you add to your yard so it doesn’t look empty. This includes tombstones, little skeletons, spider webs and anything else that isn’t a centerpiece and adds flavor. Like hanging decorations, they should never be neglected as they do most of the heavy lifting in transforming your yard.
