You can quickly make decorations for Halloween with paper mache, clay, glue or plastic. Inflatable decorative items are a good option for the Halloween party. To create a really creepy effect in the garden, put LED lights in the eye sockets of ghosts and play suitable music. These are particularly visible in the twilight. A swamp and a crypt can also be built in the garden.
