Halloween decor...

That time of the year for ridiculous decorations ranging from creepy and gory to silly and fun is upon us again... Undoubtedly my son's favorite time of the year, as it's a day that he can legitimately wear his costumes out in public, and not just be a superhero or video game icon in the confines of his own room...  I just gathered a few ideas for transforming your space into a frightful space!...

From the brilliant design team over at Martha Stewart, this simple but very effective way to add some horror to a simple staircase... Just add a simple black and white silhouette to the risers, it is just so easy...

An image from Apartment Therapy shows off the Halloween spirit at its finest, but when you break it down and get rid of the fluff, it's a simple and clean space, but with the addition of a few pumpkins and feather wreaths it was brought to that next level...

The classic Ghost Chair in black is a super versitile piece during the year, it's just an iconic and super chic chair, but when witches and goblins are on everyone's mind, this is the perfect seat for any ghoulish character...

A gorgeous pheasant feather wreath is another great transitional accessory that is awesome for Fall decor, but it really gives a goth and vampirey type feeling when paired with a half dozen blood red pillar candles burning all around it...

This is just Alexander McQueen's embroidered pillow which is super chic at any time, but it's all the more fun when Friday the 13th, Scream and Poltergeist are in heavy rotation on TV...

A project more for the kids of all ages is to get them painting pumpkins with fun images, instead of carving up the gourd... This is a much safer way to get a look without the danger of carving little fingers away, and the pumpkin will last a lot longer!

Or, if you're really feeling like scaring the hell out of your Trick or Treaters or your haunted house guests, hang up a picture of this!!! Boo!!!
