Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for.

But with little ones in the house, I have come to appreciate decorating in moderation and not going all out scary.

I settle for slightly spooky, and sometimes that can mean less is more.

This collection of Halloween decorations are simple but spooky and keep a classic Halloween look.
