Monster House Archway

13

Turn your entire front porch or entryway into the gaping maw of a terrifying beast with a monster house archway. This large-scale decoration utilizes the existing architecture of your home to create a fun, interactive experience for trick-or-treaters who must walk “into the mouth of the beast” to get their candy. Crafted from lightweight materials like insulation foam, plywood, or heavy-duty cardboard, this project is highly customizable and guaranteed to be the talk of the neighborhood.

Cut out giant, jagged teeth from white foam board and secure them along the top and bottom of your porch archway or front door frame. Add two massive, glowing eyes made from painted beach balls or plastic bowls mounted above the door. You can line the entryway with red fabric or carpet to act as a tongue leading up to the door. This playful, immersive setup is particularly popular with families, offering a fantastic backdrop for Halloween night photos.
