Step right up to the creepiest carnival on the block, complete with a Halloween movie screening on the lawn. Devilish details like a painted bloody balloon garland and custom carnival games and signs add an extra layer of detail to this Halloween yard idea. Grab a snack at the clown carnival snack bar. There's fresh popped-popcorn, fluffy cotton candy in Halloween cups, lots of Halloween decorating ideas, and of course, scary clowns to greet your guests at every turn.
Come one, come all, to the greatest show on earth; it's a creepy clown carnival celebrating our favorite Halloween movie, "It"! This scary Halloween decorating idea for teens or adults includes some decidedly disturbing decor, along with a complete outdoor movie setup. Friends will love pulling up a chair or a blanket to catch a scary movie on the lawn. Be on the lookout for Pennywise creeping next to the candy bar!
Chairs and blankets are gathered in a semi circle so everyone has a view of the screen. This creates some perfect conversation areas for kids and/or adults. Pull a few pillows and some warm blankets out for added comfort.
Leering creepily over the festivities is a sinister, smiling hanging clown decoration. To create this setup, a photography backdrop was set up with a white fabric screen. The clown was then hung from the top corner, his voluminous garb even better displayed thanks to posable arms.
The white latex balloons are inflated and clustered together. Then, the balloons are painted with red spray paint to create a scary, bloody special effect that is perfect for this Halloween yard theme. This scary Halloween balloon garland was then draped over the backdrop frame and cascaded down the left side, ending at a hay bale and carnival game.

Step right up through the big top arch, and make your way to a blood spattered concession stand area. You're greeted by none other than the grand master of these freakish carnival festivities, Pennywise the clown, and he has a red balloon just for you.
Spin the wheel if you dare, but be warned, these humorous and scary suggestions aren't your every day carnival prizes. Savvy guests will realize quickly that this is a haunted prize wheel with no winners. Customize your prize wheel using the free prize wheel overlay.
Fresh popped popcorn from a tabletop popcorn maker was served in popcorn buckets, perfect for snacking on while a Halloween movie plays. Piles of carnival tickets brought a touch of detail to the Halloween table display.
Serve fluffy sour cotton candy in Pennywise themed cups bearing the words, "You'll Float Too". Place cups over a film strip runner decorated with bloody handprint clings, daring you to reach for a helping. Coordinating themed napkins from the movie, "It" stood by to clean up any messy spills, though by the looks of this creepy concession stand, it's far too late for that.
Overseeing the treat transactions on this Halloween porch was a creepy hanging clown with light up eyes. This creepy clown was suspended against a striped backdrop. His leering grin and shining eyes are sure to elicit a scream or two!
Thanks for stopping by this creeptastic carnival filled with inspiration for your own scary Halloween party plans. Just do me a favor...watch your kids.
