19. Glowing Jack-o’-Lantern Archway
Create a breathtaking, immersive entrance to your home with a glowing jack-o’-lantern archway. This high-impact decoration turns your front door into a portal to a magical Halloween world, framing your entryway with dozens of smiling, glowing pumpkin faces. It is a show-stopping display that will make your home the absolute highlight of the neighborhood, drawing admiration from everyone who visits.
To construct this, build a simple arch frame over your doorway using PVC pipes secured in heavy buckets filled with gravel. Purchase cheap, hollow plastic foam jack-o’-lanterns from the dollar store. Cut a hole in the back of each pumpkin and thread them onto the PVC pipe frame, securing them with zip ties or hot glue. Run a string of warm orange LED Christmas lights through the back holes of the pumpkins so they all light up simultaneously. This creates a spectacular, glowing canopy of light that feels incredibly festive and welcoming.
