43 Vintage Halloween Decorations Ideas

Halloween is such a fun time of year.

It can be a great time to have a themed party or create some interesting, attention-getting home decor.

One of the best ways to set the mood for a Halloween party is to have some great decorations.

And one of the most fun types of Halloween decorations are vintage Halloween decorations.

Why vintage? Vintage Halloween decorations can add a sense of nostalgia to your Halloween party.

They can also be a great way to have a more environmentally friendly party.

Vintage Halloween decorations can also be a great way to save money on your party.

It’s easy to find great vintage Halloween decorations at your local thrift store or on eBay.

1. Create a Spooky Halloween Tablescape

If you’re hosting a Halloween party or just having a few friends over for dinner, set the mood with a spooky tablescape.

Here, we used a vintage-inspired tablecloth as the base and then layered in a few Halloween plates and spooky napkins.

When it comes to the centerpiece, you can never go wrong with a few pumpkins.

We used a mix of real and faux here and then filled in the gaps with a few bottle brush trees and some spider web.

2. Add a Vintage Halloween Vignette

Set the scene on a mantel, sideboard, or open shelving with a collection of vintage Halloween decorations.

This look is easy to create with a few key pieces, like a vintage Halloween sign, jack-o’-lanterns, and a few small candy dishes filled with faux candy corn.

Pro tip: When decorating for the seasons, use what you have and just swap out a few pieces.

For example, if you already have a collection of blue and white dishes, mix in a few vintage Halloween candy dishes for a festive touch.

3. Make a Creepy Apothecary Shelf

For a vintage Halloween decoration that doubles as a game, create a spooky apothecary shelf.

Gather a few glass containers and then use our free printable labels to make your own potions.

You can fill the containers with things like colored water, plastic bugs, or plastic eyeballs. Then, let your guests guess what they think is in each container.

Make this decoration even more vintage by adding a few antique books to the shelf.

You can use books you already have, or you can find a few at a secondhand store.

Use our free printable book covers to create your own vintage Halloween books.

4. Set the Scene with a Witches’ Broom

A vintage witches’ broom is a must-have for any Halloween display. You can find them at antique stores or online.

Here, the broom is paired with a vintage black cat and a pumpkin to create a small scene on the front porch.

If you don’t have a vintage broom, you can create a similar look with a new one.

Just be sure to take your new broom outside and give it a few good whacks against the concrete to give it a more weathered look.

5. Create an Eerie Halloween Mantel

A Halloween mantel is the perfect spot to add a few spooky vintage Halloween decorations.

Here, a collection of black and white vintage Halloween prints, a pumpkin topiary, and a pair of gold candlesticks create an eerie, yet elegant, mantel scape.

6. Hang Vintage Halloween Decorations

If you’re throwing a Halloween party, consider hanging vintage Halloween decorations around your home.

You can find them at most craft stores or even make your own.

This idea is perfect if you’re throwing a more sophisticated Halloween party and want to keep things elegant.

7. Add a Vintage Halloween Sign to Your Porch

If you’re looking for a way to add a touch of vintage Halloween decor to your front porch, a sign is a great way to do it.

You can go with a classic “trick or treat” sign or get creative and find a sign with a fun Halloween saying or image.

I love how this sign is displayed on a vintage-style easel and surrounded by pumpkins.

You can also hang your sign on the wall or prop it up on a table to create a fun Halloween vignette.

Conclusion

The best part about these vintage Halloween decorations is that you can use them year after year. They are made from such high-quality materials that they will last you for many Halloweens to come. Plus, they are so classic and timeless that they will never go out of style.
