What is your favorite decoration to put up? Mine would have to be my full-sized, animated butler called Edward. That was the name on the box. I have had him for 2 years and he is awesome! All the TOTers love him.

Last year my fiance and I bought a ton of those stretchable spiderwebs and just spread them all over the outside of the house. So, as of last year those were my favorite just because they added such a spooky halloweeny feel without too much effort.
Then again I always love my Jack-O-Lantern too!

Gravestones!!

I hate to be boring about it, but my very favorite Halloween decoration is and has allways been the traditional triangle eyed and nosed Jack O'lantern carved in a real pumpkin and with a candle used as a light source.

i also have the edwardian butler and i love him. i have named him Edgar. i have him permanently in my lounge room with a wine glass on his tray. sadly tho, every time my grandson (3) and his mother (29) come over i have to cover him with a sheet as they are both terrified of him. i would love to get a maid in the same era to keep him company but cant find one.

If you are looking for the maid, check out Halloween Express. My favorite decorations are the PUMPKINS!

Is he the one that Spirit Stores sold a few years ago?. The one with a pointy, pale face and little beady black eyes?

Is that the butler who "did it?" <narf narf>

It's an old cardboard cut-out of Snoopy in a witch hat, walking along with Woodstock with a simple Happy Halloween across the bottom.

I've had it for 20 years now.

I know that I said that I was partial to the traditional triangular faced Jack O'Lantern, and I am, but it's hard to think of any one thing that I put up that's my absolute favorite. I kind of like all of them. I have a little ceramic Haunted House that sits o n top of one of the speakers in my diningroom, and a fake Jack O"Lantern that sits on the other one. Then I have two fake Jack O'Lanterns that sit on top of the speakers in my living room. Then I hang pumpking and ghost lights around the living room fire place, and I have skull lights that I hang up around the dining room. I have a simple skelotin that i hang up outside, and when it's time for TOT, I put one of my carved real pumpkins outside on a chair. I also park my motorcycle in the front yard, and make a scare crow without a head, and put him on the bike as the Headless horseman. If I feel ambitious, I will carve a pumpkin to use as his head.

I like to decorate the outside of my house with a Halloween Projector becuase it is fast and easy and lights up the whole house.

my favorit halloween decoration iz my spirit halloween scarecrow! i spray painted him & stuffed & sewed him all up!!!

Grimmy, we made about five years ago, he graces my parlor 365 days a year.

Well if I ever find a really creepy sounding old chime clock, it will likely be a part of my year long decor, too.
