Transform your doorway into a haunted mansion entrance. Use black trash bags, cardboard, and some creativity to craft a spooky facade. Add flickering candles and fake spider webs for an extra chilling effect.

Wicked Witch Silhouette:
Cut out a life-sized witch silhouette from black cardboard or paper and place it strategically in a window. Illuminate it from behind with a spotlight for a sinister shadow effect.
