6 Fun (and Scary) Halloween Garage Door Decorations To Inspire

Decorating for Halloween is as fun as it is spooky. This list includes everything from traditional scary decoration ideas to more family-friendly options. Ready to get your garage in the Halloween spirit? Consider one of these seasonal scenes!

 

1. Spooky Silhouettes

Transform your garage door into a truly terrifying scene by creating (or purchasing) large black silhouette cutouts. Ghosts, witches, bats, oh my! If you’re up for the creative challenge, use black construction paper, foam board or vinyl decals for an easy setup that stands out.

 

2. Monster Mouth Garage

Monster mash? More like monster munch! Turn your garage door into a giant monster’s mouth using red and white craft paper to create sharp teeth and a long tongue. Want to up the creepy (or silly) factor? Add big, googly eyes above the garage door. This design is sure to make trick-or-treaters feel like they’re about to enter a monster’s lair.

 

3. Graveyard Scene

Graveyards are a true Halloween classic. Create a mini graveyard scene by adding tombstones, skeletons and cobwebs to your garage door. Pick up supplies to make them yourself or head to your local craft store for premade decorations that are sure to scare.

If you’re reluctant to stick stuff to your brand-new garage door, don’t worry! Spooky graveyard scenes look great on the front lawn, too!

 

 4. Scary Spiders

Arachnophobes, look away! This idea will make your skin crawl. Cover your garage door with oversized spiders crawling up and down, left and right. Use foam to make them yourself or purchase plastic spider decorations in various sizes — and add webs for a more realistic effect!

 

5. Pumpkin Patch Mural

OK, now for something a little less spooky and more seasonal. Try creating a mural that features a vibrant pumpkin patch, complete with jack-o’-lanterns. Search around for removable decals or even use projector lights that cast a pumpkin patch image onto your garage door for a magical, glowing effect.

 

6. Classic Haunted House

Is your house haunted? Well, then your garage probably is, too! Transform your garage into the façade of a classic haunted house, complete with boarded-up windows, eerie lighting and shadowy figures peeking out from inside. Black construction paper for the windows works well and LED lights can help add a truly sinister glow. If you want to amp up the spooky factor, use props like fake crows, rats or black cats placed around your driveway to complete the look.

 

7. Ideas for Securing Your Spooky Decor Without Damage

If you’ve just spent time and money upgrading to a new and gorgeous garage door, hanging up decorations can seem risky. Thankfully, there are lots of great solutions out there so you can get into the Halloween spirit without scaring yourself into submission when it’s time to tear them down. So, head to your local Home Depot and consider the following to preserve your garage door’s curb appeal:

 

• Use magnetic hooks: Perfect for steel garage doors, magnetic hooks can hold lightweight decorations and are easily removable without leaving marks.
• Try suction cups: For smooth garage door surfaces, suction cups with hooks can hold decorations securely without adhesive.
• Buy command strips: Ideal for heavier decorations, command strips come in various sizes and types, providing a strong hold without damaging surfaces.
