Top 10 Neon Signs for a Scary Halloween

Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays in America - people dress up, go trick or treating, and generally have a fun time dressing up as scary creatures or beings.

One of the best aspects of the holiday is the scary Halloween decorations - I like to make them bright and scary.

I thought I'd share some of my best tips on decorating with Halloween neon signs and lights.

  • Halloween is a time to go large with scary and vibrant color decorations.
  • Neon signs are perfectly suited for use as motion sensor-tripped signs, which would be perfect for scaring Halloween visitors to your house.
  • The top 10 Halloween neon signs are Grim Reaper, Cemetary, Ghost, Dracula, Horror Night, Skull Face, Zombie, Day of the Dead, Witch on a Broomstick, and the classic orange Pumpkin.

Let's dive in and check out the most popular Halloween neon signs.

Note: The listings below are based on the most recent data, and the popularity data is valid for Halloween 2024.

Pro Tips - Decorating with Halloween Neon Signs

Do These Things:

  • Decorations - Go way over the top. There are no limits to how gaudy and over-the-top your decorations can be. There is simply no limit to making your decorations as scary as possible.
  • Lighting - Accentuating elements of your design and decorations with lighting is always a bonus.
  • Neon Signs - A great way to combine decoration and lighting is to include neon signs on a timer or motion sensor.
  • Dress Up - Answering the door to visitors in a full costume is a must. Make sure to go for something scary.
  • Good Candy & Healthy Options - Offer nice candy in single wrappers and a healthy option for visitors who want to limit their treats.
  • Have Fun - Make sure to have fun, chat to your visitors, have a laugh, and compliment others on their costumes.

Don't Do These Things:

  • Low-Scare - Nothing is worse for trick-or-treaters than a house that has underdone its decorations and provides no scare. Make it fun, but take it seriously.
  • Candy-Rush - Don't give out all of your candy in one hit, and don't allow visitors to take candy at their pleasure (they will take all of it in one go).

Apart from those tips, ensure you're setting yourself up for success - have plenty of candy and food options on hand, and always remember to go easy on the scaring of the little children visiting your door!
