What makes an old fashioned Gothic Halloween Decorations Ideas? Backdrop spider webs and white sheets with cobwebs over the furniture or as tablecloths. Long white and different coloured candles placed in black or gold candlesticks add to the theme. Set your table with gothic goblets, and cutlery, Keep your lights dimmed or just use candles in the background. Watch the Addams Family movie or Phantom of the Opera, or even a modern day Count Dracula. All your guests can come dressed up and you can even have a prize for the best dressed. And if you have a garden you can decorate it with small lights and some Halloween themed decorations. You could also have fake tombstones placed in the garden and a hanging sign in front of your door.
