How to decorate your house for Halloween

Halloween is more than just a big 31 on the calendar. Scary season is a state of mind, and we embrace it in our (oozing) brains and (jittering) bones. We’re talking candy, costumes, parties, movies, characters, fireworks. The whole shebang. And it’s more than just dressing up and drama. Halloween is the one time of the year that it’s perfectly acceptable to frighten the neighbors and turn your house into a nightmare on (insert your street name here).

You’ve got carte blanche to decorate your front garden, house or doorstep with a terrifying Halloween party mise-en-scène. You can even add a bit of craft to your creepy with some eerie homemade touches and indoor Halloween decorations. If you’re gearing up for this year’s festivities, we’ve got just the LEGO® sets to help you decorate with a difference.

LEGO® Ideas Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas set

This will be, perhaps, the only set on your list that you can display for Halloween and then keep up right until Christmas.

Based on the iconic 1993 movie, the LEGO Ideas Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas set features connectible models of three locations; Spiral Hill, the Halloween Town Hall and Jack Skellington’s house.

It also has 8 characters, including Jack Skellington, Sally, Santa Claus, Lock, Shock and Barrel minifigures, plus Zero the dog and a brick-built The Mayor figure with two faces.

Unique, unmistakable and designed with plenty of detail, it’s the perfect set for the holiday. Which holiday that is, is quite up to you!

Baby Groot may be the cutest member of the Guardians of the Galaxy – but now you can build the character like never before in this terrifying, tentacle-packed LEGO set.
