Some of these are so frightening that we’re not sure if they are made of plastic or. . . .something else. If you too want to create skeleton displays and faces that will haunt visitors in their sleep, take a piece of inspiration from what you see here. Grab some skeleton cats, chihuahuas, and witches and make your whole block scream!

If you want to dial things down a bit, you could always move the creepiness indoors and save it for a Halloween soiree. Whatever you decide, don’t leave bones out of your décor!
