17 Funny Halloween Decoration Ideas For 2016

The spookiest of all holidays is approaching. If you plan on throwing a party, you might want to look into some funny Halloween decorations for your home. After all, just because it's a scary occasion doesn't mean we can't have a chuckle or two.

Obviously, the first thing you'll need to do is figure out your costume situation. As the host or attendee of a Halloween party, it would be truly in poor taste to show up without some dope get-up. You can go for the ever popular Pokemon Halloween costumes this year — a lot of people will appreciate that choice. But, if you're anything like me and wait until the very last minute to make up your mind, there are plenty of funny last minute Halloween costumes to choose from.

But the main thing to focus on as a host of a Halloween party or even as a Halloween enthusiast is, of course, decorations. Your house can be a spooky graveyard or a creepy funhouse — as long as you put your very own spin on it, people will appreciate the effort. So start looking for quirky and fun items online and in stores. This month will be the holy grail for any Halloween-related items. Almost all major retailers will have some kind of Halloween department you can check out. But if you are looking to save some money, you will want to research online. That way you can compare prices, and if you time it out correctly, have them delivered in advance. Here are just a few funny Halloween decorations to get you started!
