It’s a holiday kids all over the country eagerly anticipate. Don’t let them down this Halloween. Instead give them the gift of excitement and thrill by becoming the hit of the block this October 31. Here are some simple ways to make your home spookier, crazier and more fun for Halloween night.

Use an Animated Candy Bowl

Don’t stuff your candy in a boring bowl. Kids of all ages will get a thrill from sticking their hands in the Animated Raven Halloween Candy Bowl. The treats are placed in a footed bowl with a life-like black bird flapping its wings perched in the middle. Another fun option is the Animated Candy Bowl with Hand. A green, bony hand protrudes from the center of an orange bowl.

Play Halloween Music

Music can really set the stage for your Halloween home. Download free music at TheHolidaySpot.com or pick up the Haunted Harmonies CD from Target. Put the speakers in the windows by your front door so trick-or-treaters can hear it as they approach your home.

Give Gifts for Great Costumes

Reward creativity and inventiveness by giving special trick-or-treaters something in addition to candy. Pick up some low-cost toys like these plastic spider webs and hand them out to the best-dressed boys and girls. . Or give them something a little more special than bite-size candy bars by handing out Fluffy Stuff Spider Webs Cotton Candy Packs.

Decorate Outside

Typically you decorate the inside of your home for a Halloween party, but why not decorate the outside for trick-or-treaters? Pick up some low-cost glow in the dark spider webs for $3.99 and fun window clings for $3.99.

Get Dressed Up

Children aren’t the only ones that get to dress up for Halloween. Put on a costume to hand out candy and you’ll make it even more fun for all the boys and ghouls that ring your door bell.
