5. Spooky Silhouette Window Silhouettes
During the early 20th century, simple black paper silhouettes were a popular and inexpensive way to decorate windows for passing trick-or-treaters. To bring this classic look to your home, use large sheets of black poster board or heavy construction paper. Draw or trace classic vintage Halloween motifs, such as a witch flying across a crescent moon, a howling werewolf, a hissing black cat with an arched back, or a haunted Victorian manor. Carefully cut out the shapes using a utility knife for precise interior details. Tape these silhouettes directly to your window panes. When night falls and you turn on your indoor lights, your windows will display a striking, shadow-play theater that delights the entire neighborhood.
