Halloween Decorating FAQ
How do I decorate for Halloween without scaring young trick-or-treaters?
Lean into playful shapes like pumpkins and friendly ghosts, and save the more intense props for indoor areas young visitors will not pass closely.
What is a safe way to light a Halloween porch display?
Battery-operated or LED lights avoid the heat and cord hazards that come with older incandescent string lights left outdoors.
