Halloween in Southern California is a festive time of costume parties and spooky decorations. Decorating an apartment rental cannot damage any inside or outside walls. This presents a challenge for those of you who follow Halloween apartment trends. Lucky for you, one of the Halloween decorating trends is temporary decorations that can be taken down and easily stored or made again the next year. We’ve listed some temporary decorating ideas for apartment living.

Get in the Halloween Mood

The best way to get in a Halloween mood is by making and putting up Halloween decorations. But they must be apartment-friendly and cause no damage to the rental unit. Apartment Halloween decor should start with fall colors, blending indoor and outdoor colors in cozy sitting areas. Then, add layers that can be changed with the holiday. Decorating in layers makes something seem more permanent than it is.

Another Halloween mood setter is your windows. You can still draw attention with window displays even if there isn’t a yard. You can hang some spooky lights and add sound effects that scare trick-or-treaters as they come calling.

Los Angeles knows how to celebrate Halloween, from the famous Haunted Hayride to a Night of Horror at Universal Studios. The hayride is in Griffith Park for a spooky California take on this time-honored fall activity.

Easy Apartment Halloween Decor

It doesn’t get very cold in Southern California. But that doesn’t mean Halloween isn’t spooky. In fact, Los Angeles has many scary tales that fit in with Halloween. You can also get in the Halloween mood with Halloween decor that doesn’t damage your rental unit’s walls. You can transform your apartment into a spooktacular place with a few creative ideas.

Halloween in Los Angeles

Halloween is going to be fantastic in 2020, if a little different. Halloween is on a Saturday, there will be a full moon, and people want to celebrate. Sure it’s 2020, so we need to social distance, wear masks of a different sort to help us stay safe, but we can still have a spooky great time. Check out these can’t miss ideas to make Halloween 2020 a hit. Circa LA Apartments is the right place to celebrate. 

How to Decorate Your Apartment

There are so many ways to get your apartment ready for Halloween. We all know it’s important to make a good first impression and this year that’s even truer as most of us will keep trick-or-treaters at a safe distance. Set the stage. Carve creepy pumpkins with stencils and easily available templates. Decorate doors with cut-outs of ghosts, goblins, witches, and more.  Make sure the neighbors can see some colorful creatures by combining monster cut-outs and contact paper on the windows. For the inside, fairy lights, felt spiders, and glow in the dark skeletons are always hit. It’s the little things that really set the mood. Try the mirror hidden message trick, get some scotch tape and spell out a scary message on your mirror, allow the tape to set and remove. Then run some hot water to reveal hidden messages to your guests.

How to Celebrate at Home

For many of us, celebrating Halloween this year will probably have to be done at home. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to raise goosebumps at home. Start by setting the mood with Halloween baking and some apple cider. Carving pumpkins is always a hit, so each person can get involved in making their ideas come to life. What’s Halloween without costumes? Make sure to get everyone dressed up and set up a video conferencing call with friends and family so everyone can share the scares. Set up a baby monitor on the porch, so you can have fun interacting with trick-or-treaters. Treats can be in the form of an outdoor haunted house or a video performance through your windows instead of the typical eatable delights. Movie marathons are great since you can choose movies appropriate to any age group or audience (from Goonies to Friday the 13th, there is something for everyone) and those can be shared from the comfort of your own apartment through a number of popular streaming services (Netflix Party, KAST, YouTube, Discord, Facebook, and more).

Halloween Hotspots in Los Angeles

Luckily, stores are open in Los Angeles, so you can get what you need for Halloween. If you need costume, makeup, and decorations, there are Spirit Halloween stores open this year in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios is canceled, but CityWalk is open for dining and shopping. Fans of Stranger Things have the opportunity to visit a haunting drive-thru experience. Tickets are steep, starting at $59 for a carload of two on the visit to the Upside Down and Hawkins. The experience is about an hour and is located in Downtown LA. 

Social distancing will definitely make Halloween different this year, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a fun and safe holiday for everyone. Curbside and at-home delivery make it easier than ever to get the decorations, supplies, and costumes you need to make Halloween a hit. Don’t be afraid to get creative with some seasonal inspiring at-home celebration ideas.
