17 Best Halloween Decorations From Pop Culture: Beetlejuice to Pennywise

It may still be the sunny, warm month of August right now, but spooky season is right around the corner!

(Depending on who you ask, it might even already be spooky season!)

Before you know it, it’s going to be time to pack away the swimsuits and start getting ready for the season’s main event: Halloween.

Costumes are obviously important, but home decor is, too. There’s no better way to set the mood than with fun, seasonally appropriate decorations.
