Tombstones with skeletal parts scattered about and surrounded with a gothic looking flowerbed fence found cheap at hardware stores. We also have sound activated ghouls hanging by the door, a fog machine and inside a table wih a dark purple or black table cloth, spellbook, candles and a bubbling witch's cauldron. We give out an assortment of treats to the trick or treaters but we also give out little cauldrons/bags of extra treats and cheap halloween prizes (rings, stickers ect.) to the kids we know (friends, relatives, neighbors.ect) I decorate my house with a graveyard.

I have a collection of about 200 rodents in various sizes from 1 inch mice to 3 foot rats that I put out every year. Some are collectively munching on bloody entrails in their straw/twig nest, one white rate is in the blood dripping jaws of a n evil looking black cat, while others are just set around the yard with blood dripping off of their mouths. Creeps most adults out while the kids love it. I also have a homemade (fake wooden blade) guillotine with a bloody Barbie head in the basket, "Death to Barbie". I have made 6" monsters out of previously used monster masks and costumes that are set up throughout the yard. I also have a bubbling cauldron but it has body parts that bubble up from the depths, pretty creepy. Strobe lights in your graveyard is a good idea as well. Have fun everyone! Rat’s nest.
