The article collects more than 45 ways to decorate a fence and front gate for Halloween. It highlights pumpkins in several forms: carved or painted, dried with faces, small artificial versions on railings, and lighted jack-o'-lantern lamps hung on gates or posts.
For a creepier effect, it suggests fake spiderwebs made from white yarn or spray, oversized toy spiders, spider balloons or lights, black cheesecloth draped over fences, woven rope webs, furry red-eyed spiders, and a DIY spider built from a trash bag.
