Outdoor Decoration Ideas

http://hubpages.com/hub/Inflatable-Halloween-Yard-Decorations

First off, I have to say I am a huge fan of realistic outdoor decorating ideas for Halloween. The idea of inflatables did not appeal to me until I saw a handful that I realized, if used correctly and in moderation, could add exponentially to one's outdoor Halloween decor. The one I chose is the one pictured above that I purchased for a steal from an online site out of season. Not only does it light up, but it plays scary music when approached. The inflatable is over 13 feet long and requires a large amount of space; however, the impact that it makes is phenomenal. Although I have a fog machine, the weather was not cooperative so I did not utilize it when I placed the structure in my yard. Overall, I did not think that it was necessary though I may want to explore the effect in the future. This decoration is designed for a large yard although there are a variety of quality inflatables available that one could utilize for a smaller space. The key to making an outdoor design work is the theme. It would be unacceptable to use a serious decoration (as the one featured above) with happy, more child-like decorations. Find your theme and stick with it for an optimal effect.

Where did you get that decoration and how big is it? I don't know if my yard could accommodate something that size but I would like to find out.

I purchased this online from Walmart about four years ago. At the highest point it's about 7-1/2 feet tall and a little over 15 feet long. I have seen the same one on eBay as well as some different variations. This one is still my favorite though! :)
