Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for so I tend to go a little over the top. This year I knew I wanted to “haunt” the back porch in preparation for a hosting an outdoor “Eat, Drink & Be Scary” happy hour. While Halloween will look a little different this year, I thought it would still be fun to host a few neighbor friends outside for a haunted happy hour.
With the help of Christmas Tree Shops andThat! I had a really “gourd” time grabbing some new Halloween decorations. My nearest location (up in Kennesaw, GA) is open, following all of the safety guidelines of course. I love that they have so many home decor options for such a great value. I think you will agree when you see the spooky finds below!
So let’s take a closer look at the “Eat, Drink & Be Scary” Haunted Halloween Porch all decked out for a happy hour. If you’ve been around here long, you know I always haunt our front porch. This is the first year the back porch is getting haunted and I love how sophisticated it turned out! The kids can’t have ALL the fun, right? I tried to stick with a black, white and orange theme to keep everything consistent. However, I wanted to go a little bit more “glam” out here since I would be hosting adult friends so I love the touches of gold on the items I found.
Eat, Drink & Be Scary || Mantel Decor
Our outdoor room has a great fireplace so I started with the mantel. When I saw the black wreath I was sold! The pair of lit trees are also the perfect addition and they run on batteries with a 4 hour timer so perfect for setting and forgetting.
The bat and mummy lanterns are solar which also makes them easy additions and the orange lights easily plug in!
Eat, Drink & Be Scary || Coffee Table
The first thing I did for the coffee table was drape a black creepy mesh cloth down. Then I added the skull – aren’t those gold details fun?
Eat, Drink & Be Scary || Wine & Serving Platters
The Eat, Drink & Be Scary platter is what got my wheels turning for the whole theme! Then I found the Trick or Treat disposable plates perfect for small snacks. And how perfect is that 19 Crimes bottle of wine? I had not realized the great selection or wine Christmas Tree Shops andThat! before. That skeleton better hand over the wine, ha!
Below you can see all of the essentials I was able to find at Christmas Tree Shops andThat!

If you are in the Atlanta area, be sure to visit the Christmas Tree Shops and That! up in Kennesaw or you can search for your nearest location HERE. I am always amazed at the great prices and love wandering to see what new items they have in each season. Here are a few snapshots from my recent visit.
Happy Halloween!
I hope you feel motivated to create a special haunted night with your family or friends, even if this year will feel a little different.

back porch! Looks great!
