On Halloween night, are you the neighborhood’s haunted house? Every neighborhood has one, and in our neighborhood, it’s the corner house two blocks down the street. Each year, we make a point to drive by this looming, Victorian home to check out the ever changing, always creepy display. If you’re that home, or are just looking for a new idea, check out our three excellent tutorials for crafting Halloween tombstones from STYROFOAM Brand Foam.

A full moon hovers over our tombstone arrangement that’s perfect for a centerpiece or tabletop display. If you like a “spirited” display but you don’t want a full-size graveyard, this is the one for you. The Haunted Halloween Tombstone instructions are on StyrofoamCrafts.com.

Get in the spirit of Halloween with the Haunted Halloween Tombstones centerpiece.

For a more ambitious graveyard scene, Better Homes & Gardens has a step-by-step tutorial to create your own Midnight Merriment Tombstones. Mwahahaha . . .

Lowe’s also offers a tombstone tutorial for tombstones made from Blue* STYROFOAM Brand Insulation. (It’s all in the family – STYROFOAM Brand Insulation is also made by Dow.) So, check out Lowe’s most excellent tutorial for the Halloween Family Plot.
