Halloween decorations get gory, and some prefer to dial it down
For some people, the scarier the better when it comes to Halloween decorations. “I want to preserve my little ones' innocence as long as possible, and the creepy, mischievous, evil side of Halloween brings up topics I don’t want my child to know about until they’re old enough to understand it’s fake," says Jamie Morrissey, who has three children under 3 in suburban New York. For those after a more dialed-down but still spooky and dramatic look, there are plenty of decorations and themes.
