Preparing your Home for Halloween

4. Halloween Wreaths: Wreaths can serve dual purposes for your Halloween ambiance. They will add to the total theme and use the contrast of wonderful smells to make the whole look more real. Using wreaths is probably the most natural way to add morbidity to any Halloween theme.
5. Skeletons: Finally, the skeletons cannot be ignored from any Halloween setting. Skeletons will complement everything that you have already placed in your Halloween theme and are an intrinsic part of Halloween as a pumpkin is.
