Halloween is incomplete without a touch of Beetlejuice spookiness. Black and white stripes are the main element of the theme, but you can still take your decorations to the next level.
As a die-hard fan of Beetlejuice, let's double this exciting holiday's fear and fun factor with some of the most creative Beetlejuice decorating ideas we have compiled for you!
Top 10 Beetlejuice Decorating Ideas To Try
1. Black & White Striped Pumpkin On Pots
When we hear Beetlejuice, black and white stripes come to mind immediately, the same way we would think of pumpkins when we hear Halloween [1]. The best way to start your Beetlejuice-themed Halloween decor is with a pumpkin on a pot.
All you'd need for this project is a pumpkin, whether an already carved one or something you'd have to DIY. Take out your black and white spray paint and spray color alternately on every vertical section of the pumpkin.
If you want extra fun, add a dash of green paint to the pumpkin to make it look like Beetlejuice's hair with some skeletons for your front yard.
2. Beetlejuice Tombstones In The Yard
A tombstone is another key element during fo. Incorporate a Beetlejuice Tombstone in your front yard with the name Betelgeuse [2].
This design may require some work, but it is simple and fun to follow.
Preparing for Beetlejuice yard decorations would include making skeletons and the base, carving, adding texture, and creating plasters. For your DIY decor and other props, you can follow some easy video tutorials online.

3. Use Black & White Striped Carpet
Decorating your front yard or your entire home for Halloween can be simple. Remember the key elements of the Beetlejuice theme: black and white stripes.
Besides primary Halloween objects like pumpkins, skeletons, and tombstones, you can incorporate a black-and-white striped carpet and lay it down neatly in the center of the room. Nothing screams Beetlejuice more than having black-and-white pinstripes on your floor!
4. Hang Beetlejuice Pictures On The Wall
Make sure to fill your wall. Aside from making your front yard a graveyard, you can hang pictures of Betelgeuse, Adam Maitland, the party's star, on your wall.
Selecting the most gruesome and horrifying pictures in varying sizes would be even better to add variety to your decor. Check out Pinterest for more inspiration on your props and other decor ideas for your living room.
5. Paint The Walls With Black & White Stripes
If you are hosting your Halloween party indoors this year, you can start by painting your walls with black and white stripes.
It is all you need to complete your overall Beetlejuice ensemble. If your landlord is strict, you may also opt for adhesive wallpapers for a temporary look as an alternative to painting your walls black and white.

7. Beetlejuice-Inspired Lamps
The secret to a fun-filled Halloween decoration is your strategy to balance the dark and light.
You would want the environment to be light, as your guests might trip. However, you also would not want it too bright, as it would defeat the spookiness of the occasion.
You can add some Beetlejuice-inspired lamps to your main table as a centerpiece or small ones in the corners of the room or your walls. But what happens if you say Beetlejuice 3 times?
8. Black-Out Curtains
If you are looking for a base or a backdrop for the whole set, opt for black-out curtains. Choose the ones made of thick cotton or polyester so the light will not pass through the fabric.
With black-out curtains, you can achieve the right amount of darkness to match the party's mood. Please find striped black-out curtains in black and white.
