Large outdoor Halloween inflatables are a simple and impressive way to decorate your yard. They look great day and night. Simply plug your decoration in, stake it down and you're ready to go. Behind the scenes, you can appreciate the energy-efficient motors that keep these inflatables going all day and all night.

Here are some tips for decorating with inflatables for Halloween:

• Determine where each inflatable Halloween decoration will go and measure your available space. Pick inflatables that will fit comfortably in the area without rubbing up against one another. Be sure that one doesn't completely block the view of another. This will keep your landscape from looking overcrowded.
• Choose placement carefully. Low-hanging branches can snag and potentially tear the fabric shell of an inflatable. A stiff wind can sometimes cause an inflatable to totter. Double-check that there is enough clearance around the decoration. Make sure there are no breakables or sharp objects nearby.
• To ensure smooth inflation, position the base of the inflatable where you want it to stand in your landscape. Spread the fabric flat on the ground before inflating to keep it from kinking or snagging while it fills with air. Tightly close any zippers, fasteners or vents to keep air from escaping while in use.
• Clear potential obstructions at the base. Most inflatables are equipped with an air intake at the bottom. This is a fan that forces air into the fabric shell, so it’s important to keep that intake clear of obstructions. While inflating, be careful to keep the inflatable's fabric away from the intake side of the fan.
• Guard against the wind. Once your piece is inflated, use any included tethers to stake it into position. Anchoring your decorations will help keep them in place through strong winds or storms.

Halloween projectors create a supernatural visual effect by projecting moving images on windows, walls, doors and more. Cast spooky scenery on the outside of your home. Easily display flying ghosts, spiders and even witches. Simply place a projector on your lawn and point it towards a smooth surface on your home's exterior. The moving images work well on their own or as part of a larger scene.

Tip: Inside, a projector can give the appearance of ghosts, zombies or even waltzing skeletons having the time of their undead lives inside your living room.

Bring the magic of a haunted house attraction to your front yard with realistic Halloween figures that move, light up and make sounds. Lure your guests in with wild dragons, cackling witches or a wolfish creature with crimson eyes.

Animatronics are some of the best Halloween decorations for creating a scene they'll never forget.

As you’re decorating your yard for Halloween, don’t forget the lights. Illuminated displays and strings of lights are among some of the best Halloween house decorations. Festive Halloween lights can accent your house and highlight your displays.

• Light up your yard in purples and oranges.
• String lights along your porch that flicker with a skull design.
• Mix in Halloween projector effects to make a glorious light show.
• Extend your Halloween lighting beyond the porch with glowing bats and other frightful path markers.
