When it comes to decorating for holidays, I like easy and cheap ideas.  If you've been on the search for some cute and easy Halloween decor ideas, below are a few ideas that you can implement for this spooky season.

Fast and Easy Ways To Decorate Your House for Halloween in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin

Idea #1:  Bats...and more bats!

When it comes to spooky Halloween decor, bats are one of the top picks on the list.  Check out these awesome magnets that can be applied to most garage doors.  You could also cut bat shapes out of a black plastic tablecloth.

These magnetic bats seem to be a big seller by iCustomHome on Etsy.

Idea #2:  Spooky Hands

If you've got windows in your garage door, having hands sticking up from the base of the glass can be a spooky addition.  If you want to create this idea extremely cheap, get some black paper and trace your kids' hands or your own and cut them out.  Just tape them from the inside of the glass so they don't get wet.

Another option would be to buy magnetic hands that are already created for you, like the photo below.

The idea above is from JadedCapricorn on Etsy.

Idea #3:  Garage Monster

If a crime scene is more your style, you could get a red plastic tablecloth and create a blood splatter creation on your garage door.  Below is a bit of inspiration for you that I found on Esty.

If that creative gene skipped you and you'd rather just buy the design above, you can find the red magnets above at M2C1Designs on Etsy here.

The Spookiest Spots in Rochester, Minnesota

Did you know that Rochester, Minnesota has quite a few spooky spots that are perfect for celebrating the freakiest month of them all? Rumor is that we have ghosts, spooky hallways and elevators, and a haunted trolley previously took guests to see all of these horrifying areas of town.
