8 Halloween Wallpaper Ideas that WILL Scare You

We all have our different ways of decorating at Halloween. Some of us carve a pumpkin, stick a candle inside and put it in the front window for all to see. Others go BIG by decorating their front lawns with faux gravestones, skeletons popping out of rose bushes and ghosts hanging out of trees! And that’s just the outside! Others transform the insides of their homes into haunted houses with bloody handprints on doors, cobwebs strewn across ceilings and bats scattered across walls!

But if you really want to give your kids (and big kids) the real heebie-jeebies, you need a creepy Halloween wallpaper. From dark, never-ending tunnels, spooky castles, petrifying ghosts and zombie apocalypses, wallpaper is the new must-have for the dedicated Halloween fan! So read on to see our top 8 scary wallpapers and give yourself some serious goosebumps!

1. Which Halloween decorations give you a fright?

The answer to that question changes from person to person! Do you go mad with fake blood? Get crafty, making your own spider to hang from the ceiling. We have an easier and less messy alternative: our eery Light at the End of the Tunnel wall mural.

Transform your lounge so you feel trapped in a haunted basement with only the spirits to keep you company… Not only great for the spooky season, but this tunnel wallpaper won't pass its sell-by date after Halloween. Perfect all year round, this space-enhancing 3D wallpaper will open up any room that is lacking space.

Spooky fact: Moonville Tunnel in Ohio is one of the US’s most haunted tunnels. It is said that a railroad brakeman was hit by a passing train there in the late 1800s. He continues to haunt the same spot! (the-line-up.com)

2. Halloween wallpaper to make you feel like you’re at wizardry school

Most of us know someone who can’t get enough of tales of wizards: characters who go on dangerous quests with the help of their school friends and trusty pets such as owls, rats and cats. Well, bring that much-loved fantasy world into the home at Halloween.

Just imagine decorating your lounge like a magical dining room: a long, wooden dining table full of unusual, magical foods. You could even place a chair at the top of the room with a large, familiar-looking witch hat placed on top. Maybe it will tell you which house you belong in...

Spooky fact: Although we know a certain young wizard has an owl for a pet, owls actually make terrible pets. They are wild animals and will really injure you if not handled properly! (thesprucepets.com)

3. How can I decorate my room for Halloween? With a spooky mural

As mentioned earlier, installing a Halloween wallpaper at this spooky time of year is much easier and impactful. For this frightening ghost wallpaper and all our murals, we recommend choosing our peel and stick wallpaper. This means that you can install the wallpaper onto a well-prepared wall, and when the scary season is over, remove it without causing any damage to the wall! Simples.

Spooky fact: It is said that ghosts can form immediately after the person dies or even centuries later. (wiki.kidzsearch.com)
