oh Nike!! The entryway outside your door is RIFE with possibilities! You totally gotta put up fake cobwebs in the corners, for sure! Put little plastic spiders on them! And and...I think you need a skeleton hanging out there too! *nodsnods* And creepy glow in the dark stuff on your living room windows!
I'm going to try to do a little bit of decorating around the house, but PowrDragn is too keen on decorations. I'm most looking for stuff to do at work, but something practical because its hard describe my work space.
I'm also looking for stuff I can use to decorate for our kids Halloween party at work.

If you really want to scare the kids.....
This was the best I ever seen. Get erie blue lights for outside, put the TV on snow(aka poltergeist) play creepie sounds on the stereo, and the creme de la creme...dig a hold near the sidewalk to your front door, cover it with leaves, then when kids walk by quickly jump of dressed like a zombie......and start screaming for brains....
Scared the hell of me, and my nephew.....and definitely makes you remember it
that will show em

Actually, one year for Halloween we did the coolest thing. When I lived in the College Apartments, we lived on the 2nd floor and had a balcony. My roommate and I are both chunky girls but she was a little bit bigger than me. We took some of her oversized clothes and stuffed them with other clothing and newspapers to make the shape of a body and sewed a long sleeved shirt, jeans and sneakers together. We put a hat over the head and sunglasses over the face to hide anything that would give up what it was. But what we did to the body almost got us in trouble with the Campus Security. We hanged the scarecrow ( no straw or anything, the body looked real from about 10 feet away) from our balcony and we took a knife and put several stab wounds all over the body and filled in the holes with red paint ( PowrDragn was an artist in College). We left the knife in for good measure of course. And one night the Campus security is driving through the parking lot and puts their spotlight on our apartment and they sit their for like 5 minutes. It didnt help that I was standing on the balcony near the body. They had to get out fo the car and walk up to our apartment before they realized what it was. I was so scared, I thought we were in trouble but they both just started laughing. We only got 2nd place for the best Halloween decorations though =(
Man, I had so much fun. I cant do that now though. I live in a 1st floor apt and I get in trouble for doing it at work.

Halloween Decor...
Black plastic (sheet or trash bags) on anything works wonders, cool over windows if you do some cutouts with an Exacto into the shape of spiders, bats, scary faces, what have you. Last year I stapled black plastic to an entire side of my house and set up a really cool display. Thin tattered gauzy material is great too for making things ghostly.
Jack-o-lanterns and luminarias (double layered paper bags with cutouts on the outside layer, a little sand or rocks to hold them down)--I like to put glow stick lights in for safety sake, plus you get that eerie green glow. I'm a punkin carvin fool..
Cardboard and spraypaint is cool and cheap for fashioning coffins or any sort of cutout you can think of.
Giant sheets of styrofoam? The possibilities are endless!
Practically any cutting from trees, plants in your yard can be painted and turned into something creepy and cool. I made big skeleton hands out of tree branches tied together and painted once, grapevine cuttings make cool little skeleton hands. LOL
I usually drag in a giant tree branch, or large cutting off one of my old rose plants and use it as a Halloween Tree, complete with lights, skulls, spiders, webs, etc. (I put my "dead tree" in a big alabaster urn, but a christmass tree stand would work too) I actually give out gifts for Halloween to family members, and paint my own wrapping paper similar to the stuff in Nightmare Before Christmas.
I usually combine the Halloween decor with Day of the Dead (dia de los muertos) decor, since the abundance of skeleton themed stuff from Day of the Dead fits right in, and I love building the little altars of skeletons, marigolds, paper cutouts, skull themed food, candles, pictures of deceased loved ones, etc.
My favorite method of decor requires more time: paper mache'
I generally build GIANT paper mache' creatures to put up in the yard--kids love to come take pictures with them--the entire project generally takes me a few weeks...if I start now...
As soon as I finish my Christmas grapevine wreaths for a craft fair next week, I'll be burning the midnight oil to do Halloween decorating.
I go absolutely INSANE for Halloween, it's the year round theme of my house, and my anniversary.

My kids love this one
-Buy five or six rubber gloves.
-Fill them with Kool-Aid, different colors.
-Close the tops with twist-ties.
-Put them in the freezer.
-When frozen, cut away the gloves, and you have several multi-colored frozen Kool-Aid hands
-Put the hands in a giant punch bowl filled with more Kool-Aid and dry ice
-The frozen hands float, sticking fingers out of the misty fog.
-Drink the punch, if you dare, Mu-haha.
