Transform Your Ride: Spooky, Creative, and Easy DIY Car Decorations

Want your car to stand out this Halloween? Whether you’re heading to a trunk-or-treat or just want to make your commute festive, here are step-by-step instructions for unique, eye-catching car decorations!

1. Monster Mouth Grille

  1. Cut large teeth and fangs from white cardboard or foam board.
  2. Paint or outline with black for extra detail.
  3. Use zip ties or painter’s tape to attach the teeth to your front grille so they stick out like a monster’s mouth.
  4. Double check that nothing blocks airflow or the radiator.

2. Glowing Eyes in the Windows

  1. Cut out eye shapes from colored craft foam or cardboard.
  2. Draw or paint pupils and spooky details.
  3. Tape glow sticks or battery-powered LEDs behind the eyes.
  4. Attach the eyes to the inside of your side or rear windows using removable tape.

3. Spider Web Wrap

  1. Buy synthetic spider webbing from a party or craft store.
  2. Stretch the webbing across your hood, roof, and mirrors.
  3. Add large plastic spiders for effect.
  4. Secure with painter’s tape or removable hooks—avoid blocking your windshield or vents.

4. Trunk Monster or Zombie Escape

  1. Stuff old clothes with newspaper to create arms and legs.
  2. Add a rubber monster or zombie mask to the end of a shirt or hoodie.
  3. Arrange the limbs and head so they appear to be crawling out of your trunk.
  4. Secure everything with zip ties or tape so it stays put when the trunk is closed partway (do not drive with the trunk open).

5. Themed Car Covers and Wraps

  1. Purchase magnetic Halloween decals or temporary vinyl wraps.
  2. Apply them to the doors, hood, or trunk for a jack-o’-lantern, ghost, or haunted house look.
  3. Use washable window markers to add faces or spooky messages to your windows.
  4. Remove everything after the holiday to protect your paint.

6. Hanging Bats and Ghosts

  1. Make bats or ghosts from lightweight foam, felt, or white cloth.
  2. Attach fishing line to each decoration.
  3. Hang them from your rearview mirror, roof rack, or windows so they “fly” as you drive.
  4. Make sure nothing blocks your view or distracts you while driving.

7. Underbody LED Lighting

  1. Purchase battery-powered or plug-in underglow LED light strips in orange, purple, or green.
  2. Attach the strips under your car’s chassis with the provided mounts or adhesive.
  3. Turn on the lights at dusk for a dramatic, spooky effect.
  4. Check local laws to ensure your lighting is street legal.

8. Skeleton Driver or Passengers

  1. Buy a full-size plastic skeleton from a party store.
  2. Buckle it into your passenger seat or place it behind the wheel for a fun photo op.
  3. Add a witch hat, cape, or pumpkin bucket for extra flair.
  4. Remove the skeleton before regular driving for safety.

Safety Tips for Halloween Car Decorating

  • Never block headlights, taillights, license plates, or your own visibility.
  • Use only removable adhesives (like painter’s tape or suction cups) to avoid damaging your paint.
  • Secure all props so nothing comes loose while driving.
  • Remove decorations before driving at night or in bad weather.
