Decorations Savings:

- Mismatched bowls, platters, cups and plates are great since no real haunted house would have everything matching.
- Rolls of guaze unraveled in random spots or used as streamers are inexpensive and fun

- Cake mix cookies are perfect and easy treats to make. Especially if you have recently picked up cake mixes cheap with coupons. Simply add in a bit of icing to make them look like monsters, spiders or jack o lanterns.
