Spooky Halloween outdoor lighting ideas to your yard

Halloween is kids' absolute favorite holiday, which is why they always go all out with Halloween decorations like the haunted house decor and annual Halloween graveyard. But no matter whether they are doing indoor or outdoor decor, lighting is what makes or breaks a good Halloween display.

The first step to getting awesome Halloween outdoor lighting is choosing the right colors. Blue, green and purple spot lights add the perfect spooky atmosphere for your front yard Halloween cemetery or yard haunt. And you can add orange and red lights as the accent colors since they contrast well with the blue and green. (They are opposites on the color wheel). Try to stay away from too much white light for Halloween as it tends to drown out the other colors which could add the spookiness factor.
