How Will You Decorate for Halloween?

This year we've put out orange tube lights over the door and the candy corn and ghost lights around the porch! With random pumpkins, of course. How about y'all?

There's only one Halloween color as far as I'm concerned -- black. Anything else should be whatever color it naturally is: orange pumpkins, etc. I'm really not one for Halloween decorations that look like decorations, and definitely no lights (Halloween is about the dark), though I sometimes replace all the lights on the front of the house with things like blue bulbs on Halloween night.

Seriously, for me Halloween should look like this:

I need a good theme for my trunk at our church's Trunk or Treat. The first year I did it, I strung a shower curtain and towel across my trunk (SUV with swing open door) put presents out everywhere and dressed as a baby...I was a "baby shower". Last year I did Tinkerbell/Pixie Hollow. This year I have a monarch butterfly/fairy costume (mainly bought for the Renaissance Festival). I don't really want to do Pixie Hollow again, but it would be easy enough. With my costume being Orange and black, I could easily go traditional Halloween "stuff".
