These macramé-style ghosts are equal parts spooky and sweet. With their flowing strands and quirky little faces, they look like they’re mid–”boo!” but in the friendliest way possible. Hung against a bold wall color, they stand out beautifully and add a touch of handmade charm to the season.

They’re proof that Halloween doesn’t have to be all dark and gory. Sometimes, simple and soft textures do the trick (and the treat). Honestly, I’d keep these up well past October.


2. A Flock of Bats

@bobbi_red

If you want a wall that looks alive, this is it—bats everywhere. They sweep across the room like they’ve just escaped the attic, filling the space with motion. The addition of little witchy figures perched in hexagonal shelves gives it that curated-but-chaotic Halloween feel.

It’s playful, slightly eerie, and makes you feel like you’ve walked right into a scene from a spooky storybook.


3. Hocus Pocus Glow

@bohofrisco

This wall just screams cozy witch energy. Between the glowing ghost neon, the crescent moon mirrors, and the handwritten “Hocus Pocus” signs, it’s got all the magical vibes. Layered candles add the perfect soft flicker underneath it all.

It’s less haunted house and more “modern witch lounge,” which honestly might be the best vibe for fall nights in.


4. The Webbed Frame

@buffy_thon

Why hang art when you can hang cobwebs and skeletons? This framed piece takes spooky decor to a sculptural level with tangled gauze, a dangling skeleton chandelier, and a lurking skull. It feels like something you’d find in the haunted wing of a forgotten mansion.

It’s creepy without being overdone, and that lantern glowing below? Chef’s kiss.


5. Tiny Ghoul Gang

@happyinkstudio

This setup is the definition of cute and spooky. A pint-sized skeleton hangs out above layered signs with cheeky lettering like “Tiny Ghoul Gang.” The soft wood tones and light background keep it fun rather than frightening.

It’s proof that Halloween can be family-friendly and still stylish. Little ghosts and goblins would definitely approve.


6. Subtle + Spooky

@home.with.em

Neutral walls, muted tones, and just the right amount of seasonal art—that’s what makes this living room setup pop. The “SPOOKY” print on the ledge pulls everything together, while the mix of pumpkins and ghostly artwork keep it playful.

It’s understated, cozy, and honestly could stick around as fall decor long after Halloween ends.


7. Sweet + Simple Hanging

@introgirl_goes_viral

Not all Halloween walls have to be elaborate, and this one nails the “less is more” approach. A single hanging strand of pumpkin, skull, and cat cutouts paired with rustic bird accents makes it sweetly festive.

It’s the kind of piece that would make you smile every time you walk by without feeling overwhelming in a small space.


8. Bats + Moonlight

@kgraulty

This wall hanging is bold, dark, and moody. Carved bats circle around a crescent moon, creating the perfect gothic silhouette. The black finish gives it a dramatic edge that instantly transforms a blank wall into something bewitching.

It’s minimal, but it doesn’t need anything else—it’s pure Halloween elegance.


9. Playful Spooky Magic

@kidhooray

This one is all charm. A smiling ghost canvas, pastel accents, and playful words like “spooky” and “magic” bring the holiday down to a kid-friendly, whimsical level. Paired with star garlands and soft toys, it feels like a fairytale version of Halloween.

It’s proof that spooky doesn’t always have to be scary—it can be pink, glittery, and full of joy too.


10. Bat Swarm Drama

@lelanie_viviers

Sometimes you just need a dramatic moment, and this bat-covered wall delivers. The swarm effect makes it feel like they’re flying straight out of the mask centerpiece, which adds that extra theatrical touch.

It’s bold, graphic, and definitely one of those decorations that would make guests stop and go, “Okay… that’s cool.”


11. Minimal Bat Garland

@littlelandcreations

This one proves that less really can be more. A sharp black frame, a few white pumpkins, and the cutest little bat garland strung across—done. It’s clean, graphic, and fun without trying too hard.

I love how it balances spooky with modern farmhouse vibes. It’s the kind of wall décor you can leave up all October without it feeling over the top, but still festive enough for trick-or-treat night.


12. Balloon Bats + Ghosts

@loonpartyboutique

Party energy, incoming. Ghost balloons, a swoosh of bats flying across the wall, and that perfect monochrome palette—it’s basically a photo booth backdrop begging for selfies.

The trick is that it looks way more elaborate than it actually is. With balloons, paper bats, and a couple hours of fun setup, you’ve got yourself Halloween party magic.


13. Yarn Ghost Garland

@macramebyval

Meet the softest, most huggable ghosts you’ll ever see. Made of yarn tassels with tiny eyes, this garland has a sweet, handmade charm that feels cozy and a little whimsical.

It’s a reminder that spooky season doesn’t always have to be dark and moody—it can also be soft textures and friendly little faces. Perfect for a family room or kid-friendly setup.


14. Neutral Spooky Gallery

@millerandrose_

This wall proves that Halloween décor can totally live in a minimalist, neutral home. A gallery wall of line art pumpkins, spooky quotes, and subtle witchy details blends seamlessly with earthy textures.

The vibe is chic rather than campy—like spooky season, but make it aesthetic. It’s the kind of wall you’d actually want to keep up long after October.


15. Ghost + Bat Streamers

@nadsi.lk

This one is all about the repeat pattern: ghosts, bats, and bright pops of orange and purple strung up in vertical lines. It’s simple but high-impact, especially against a blank wall.

Think of it as instant Halloween wallpaper—perfect for a party backdrop, a candy table, or just making your everyday space feel a little more festive.


16. Flying Bat Frame

@rieko.in.ca.life

Sometimes the simplest ideas hit the hardest. Here, bats seem to scatter across the wall and around a single framed print, adding motion and drama.

It’s playful and a little eerie, like they’ve just taken flight mid-room. The best part? Totally DIY-friendly—just a pack of paper bats and some tape, and you’re golden.


17. Chic Ghoul Corner

@shearfringesalon

This one’s moody, glam, and a little extra—in the best way. A corner filled with bold black-and-white prints, Halloween typography, and a towering ghostly figure looming over the couch.

It’s like a mash-up of chic salon style and haunted house vibes. Cozy enough for lounging, but with just enough eerie details to give you a shiver when the lights are low.


18. Bat Wall Drama

@strawberriesnfreckles

A staircase wall turned statement piece, with bats swooping upwards like they’re on the move. Paired with cozy farmhouse elements and warm neutrals, it strikes that balance between spooky and stylish.

It’s proof you don’t need tons of props—just good placement and scale can give your walls that Halloween punch.


19. Vintage Halloween Glow

@thathalloweenhouse

This is Halloween nostalgia at its finest. Think retro prints, orange lights strung across the wall, and classic pumpkin cutouts that feel straight out of a vintage party scene.

It’s warm, kitschy, and a little chaotic—and that’s the charm. This is a wall that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and honestly, that’s what makes it so fun.


20. Potion Bats

@thatssnowfun

Here’s a gothic little corner with framed potion bottle art, an old-school clock, and bats flying in between. The mix of vintage mirrors and Halloween accents makes it feel like stepping into a witch’s parlor.

It’s subtle but layered, leaning more into the atmospheric side of spooky décor than the in-your-face version. Think cozy night with candles and a spooky movie.


21. Macrame Pumpkin Holder

@thecraftcroft_community

Who knew macrame could go spooky? This piece takes the cozy boho staple and gives it a seasonal twist—those little pumpkins snugged into the knotted cradles are basically the definition of cute-but-chic Halloween. It feels earthy, handmade, and still festive without being over the top.

It’s the kind of wall hanging that works double duty—you could almost leave it up all year and just swap the pumpkins for greenery once November hits. Effortless style with a touch of ghostly charm.


22. Basket Wall with a Spooky Twist

@thriftsandwicks

Layered textures of woven baskets already make for a statement wall, but throw in some bats and spiders and suddenly you’ve got subtle Halloween magic. It’s farmhouse meets haunted house, and honestly, it works way too well.

The neutral tones of the baskets let the black accents pop, so your eyes instantly catch the creepy-crawlies. It’s understated but still delivers that seasonal vibe without leaning into kitsch.


23. Basket Wall Gone Wild

@thriftsandwicks

If the last one whispered “spooky,” this one shouts it with a whole swarm of bats. They look like they’re swooping right out of the wall, and it creates such a fun sense of movement. The baskets themselves feel almost celestial—like moons rising in the background.

The balance between natural textures and bold Halloween black makes the room feel festive but still styled. Bonus points for how perfectly it frames the couch setup, giving the space a cozy yet dramatic energy.


24. Let the Spooky Times Roll

@thriftsandwicks

This one brings in pure personality. The basket wall is back, but now it’s paired with a marquee-style sign and playful garlands. It feels whimsical, approachable, and kind of like your friend who always knows how to throw the best themed party.

The pumpkin woven into the basket arrangement is such a smart touch—it ties everything together while keeping it fun and not too serious. Definitely a wall that earns a “sit down, stay awhile, and sip cider” vibe.


25. Haunted Artwork

@touchofclasshome

Sometimes you just need a single bold piece to say it all. This lit-up haunted house scene is pure nostalgia—the glowing windows, flying witch, and floating ghost give off that classic Halloween spirit. It’s like stepping right into a storybook.

It’s moody without being too scary, which makes it the perfect family-friendly pick. And because it’s framed like art, it feels intentional and elevated, not just another holiday prop you stick on a wall. A total seasonal win.
