From blood-dripping shower curtains to ghostly hand towels, transforming your bathroom into a haunted hideaway is easier than you think. We’ve gathered 25 spine-tingling decor ideas that range from subtle and sophisticated to downright terrifying.
Some take just minutes to set up, while others might require a weekend afternoon. Ready to give your guests a scare when they need to use the facilities?
Let’s dive into these wickedly wonderful bathroom Halloween decorations!
1. Spider Web Shower Curtain
Get a serious Halloween upgrade with a spider web shower curtain-think intricate white webs stretched across the black curtain, with big, fuzzy tarantulas crawling up and down the silky strands. Choose one that looks ultra-realistic, especially with little details like trapped bugs in the web and a misty gray background, it’ll totally transform your bathroom into a haunted lair.
Dim the bathroom lights to cast spooky shadows on the walls, and let the whole vibe freak out your guests (in the best way). Pair it with a black bath mat or some toy spiders for extra effect, you’ll barely recognize your bathroom.
2. Glow-in-the-Dark Toilet Paper
Swap your regular roll for glow-in-the-dark toilet paper, and suddenly midnight bathroom trips become way more fun (and maybe a little spooky). These special rolls soak up light during the day, then emit an eerie green glow once darkness falls, so you’ll never fumble for the light switch again.
Stack a few glowing rolls in a vintage wire basket-besides looking awesome, their soft light casts creepy shadows across the tiles, pulling your theme together without any extra effort. Just remember, your guest’s won’t forget this one!
3. Skeleton Hand Soap Dispenser
Give your sink some real Halloween attitude with a skeleton hand soap dispenser-this one’s a showstopper. Picture bony, anatomically detailed fingers gripping a smoky glass bottle, every joint and knuckle meticulously sculpted, it’s creepy in the best way.
Fill it with blood-red soap for a gory touch that actually makes washing your hands fun (or at least, memorable). Just place it on a vintage porcelain sink and let the vibes do the work; guests won’t stop talking about it, seriously.
You can find these online around spooky season, or DIY it by attaching a plastic skeleton hand to a glass pump bottle and using some strong glue. Don’t forget to use a dramatic soap color-if you can’t find red, black works great too!
4. Bat Stickers on Mirror
Grab a pack of realistic 3D black bat stickers-Amazon or craft stores have tons-and cluster them on your bathroom mirror. Start in one corner, then let the bats “fly” outward in a loose V-shape, mixing up sizes for a cool depth effect.
Some bats should have wings stretched wide, others folded for variety, and place them so they overlap a bit or look like they’re swooping away from the glass. When your bathroom light flickers or shifts, these little guys cast tiny, eerie shadows, instantly making the room feel spooky and atmospheric.
Pro tip: peel them off after Halloween, and your mirror’s back to normal, no mess.
5. Pumpkin Scented Candles
Give your bathroom a cozy autumn vibe with artisanal pumpkin spice candles set near mini faux pumpkins. Just arrange a couple on a distressed wooden shelf-bonus points if you scatter some faux autumn leaves around them for that extra seasonal touch.
When you light the candles, their flickering orange flames will cast fun, dancing shadows on the walls, instantly making the space feel festive. Plus, the rich blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove will make your bathroom smell amazing, it’s like a mini pumpkin patch every time you walk in.
If you want the look to last, choose soy or beeswax candles, they burn cleaner and longer!
6. Faux Ravens
These realistic black birds add dramatic Edgar Allan Poe-inspired ambiance without the mess of real feathers. Position them atop picture frames, nestle near candles, or attach to shower curtain rods for unexpected spooky touches.
Their glossy finish and detailed features create sophisticated Halloween atmosphere. Pair with dark hand towels, black soap dispensers, and flickering LED candles to complete the moody, mysterious bathroom transformation that’s both eerie and refined.
7. Fake Spider Clusters
Want to make your bathroom feel like it’s straight out of a horror movie? Grab a mix of fake spiders-get a range of sizes, from little ones you can barely see, all the way up to palm-sized monsters.
Stick them in messy, uneven clusters up the shower walls and lurking in the corners of your mirror; it works best if you concentrate a bunch in one spot and scatter a few escapees nearby, that way it actually looks like an infestation. For extra realism, hang a handful from the ceiling using clear fishing line or sewing thread, let them dangle right at head level for some jump scares.
If you want them to cling to tile or glass, a dab of double-sided tape or poster putty does the trick, just make sure you don’t use anything that’ll mess up the paint. Bonus points if you add a fake web in the corners-your guests will think twice before reaching for the soap.
8. Bloody Handprint Window Clings
Bloody handprint window clings are a ridiculously easy way to crank up the horror vibes in your bathroom, they’re basically peel-and-stick decals that look like someone met a gruesome end right on your mirror or shower door. Grab a pack online (Amazon’s got tons, and some even come with realistic drips and splatters), then just clean your glass surfaces so the clings stick well.
Next, press the handprints on at weird angles-some high, some low, and let a few “slide” down for that fresh-scene-of-the-crime look. Mix in some smaller, kid-sized prints for extra chills.
And if your clings don’t come with fake blood drips, you can add your own with a red glass marker or a bit of washable paint, just don’t use anything permanent unless you want to explain it to future guests.
9. Skull Toothbrush Holder
Got an old plastic skull from last year’s Halloween stash? It’s about to become your new favorite bathroom accessory-just grab a drill or craft knife and carefully carve out some holes in the head or between the teeth (big enough for toothbrush handles to fit through).
Clean up any rough edges, then give the skull a quick wipe-down and you can also paint it black for a gothic touch. Pop your toothbrushes through the head or teeth gaps; not only does it look wickedly cool, but it also keeps your brushes upright and easy to grab.
Guests will do a double-take, trust me, this is the kind of creepy-cool detail that makes Halloween bathroom decor unforgettable.
10. Black Towel Set
Forget the cheesy orange-and-black combo-upgrade your bathroom’s Halloween vibe with an ultra-chic, matte black towel set. Look for towels that have subtle embroidered bats or spiderweb patterns in dark gray thread; it’s a nod to spooky season without screaming it.
Mix up sizes (bath sheets, hand towels, washcloths) and drape them on your towel rack with a bit of asymmetry-it looks like you have a designer’s touch, not like you just threw them up. This swap instantly elevates the space, and bonus, these towels look so luxe you’ll probably want to keep ‘em out way past October.
11. Mini Bathing Skeleton
Add macabre humor to your bathroom with a miniature skeleton lounging in a tiny bathtub, complete with rubber ducky and bubbles. This quirky decoration brings playful spookiness to shelves, countertops, or windowsills.
The detailed skeleton figure appears relaxed in its porcelain tub, often accompanied by miniature bath accessories like soap, candles, or a shower cap. Perfect for guests who appreciate dark humor, this conversation-starting piece blends Halloween charm with everyday bathroom decor. Easy to display and store, it works beautifully in powder rooms or master baths, adding unexpected whimsy to your seasonal decorating scheme.
12. Cauldron Soap Dish
Turn your bathroom sink into a witch’s potion station with a mini cauldron soap dish-seriously, it’s easier than you think. Grab a small cast iron or ceramic cauldron (look for ones with three stubby feet for that classic vibe), and either paint or pour a little green or purple resin around the rim so it looks like a magical potion bubbling over.
Let the resin drip naturally for a gooey, spellbound effect, and once it’s dry, pop in some Halloween-themed soaps-think skulls, bats, or pumpkin shapes. Not only does it keep your soap tidy, it’s a conversation starter for whoever washes up next, just don’t be surprised if someone asks you for your “recipe.”
13. Ouija Board Bath Mat
This plush mat features the classic spirit board design complete with alphabet letters, numbers, and “Yes/No” responses in vintage typography. The non-slip backing ensures safety while you commune with the other side during your morning shower.
Made from soft, absorbent materials that dry quickly, this conversation-starting accessory brings gothic charm to your Halloween bathroom decor year-round, making every bath feel delightfully haunted.
14. Mini Pumpkins on Sink
Turn your bathroom sink into a mini pumpkin patch! Grab a handful of those cute little pumpkins in all shades-orange, white, even green-then cluster them around your sink, mixing in a few that you’ve painted with glitter or doodled monster faces on.
Nestle battery-powered tea lights between the pumpkins for a cozy, glowy vibe that bounces off the mirror and makes the whole space feel festive. Scatter a few fake autumn leaves between the pumpkins, it adds a touch of fall color and hides any awkward gaps.
This is super easy to swap out or move if you need the space, plus it’s a fun way to get creative with the kids.
15. Wooden Restroom signs
These charming décor pieces replace standard bathroom markers with carved or painted designs showcasing witches, skeletons, bats, or eerie typography in distressed finishes. Mount on bathroom doors or walls using adhesive strips or small nails. Choose signs with phrases like “Witches’ Washroom” or “Ghouls’ Room” for playful atmosphere.
The weathered wood aesthetic complements farmhouse or vintage Halloween styles while adding functional décor. Perfect for guest bathrooms during Halloween parties, these signs create cohesive seasonal ambiance throughout your home.
16. Black Maple Leaf Garland
These matte black artificial leaves create dramatic contrast against white tiles or mirrors, offering a moody alternative to traditional orange decorations.
Drape along mirrors, wrap around towel bars, or cascade from shower curtain rods for instant gothic charm. The waterproof material withstands bathroom humidity while maintaining its shape. Pair with amber lighting and black candles for a cohesive, upscale Halloween atmosphere that feels intentionally styled rather than overly themed.
17. LED Flickering Tea Lights
Scatter some battery-operated LED tea lights with that realistic flicker all around your bathroom, but here’s the twist-drop them into skull-shaped holders. These little lights are safer than real candles (no risk of setting your towels on fire), and the dancing “flames” look eerily real, especially when they’re casting all kinds of moving shadows on the walls.
Arrange the skulls on the counter, the edge of the tub, and even the toilet tank; their glow will bounce off mirrors and tile, making everything look ghostly and haunted. Don’t forget, the more reflective the surface, the more dramatic the effect, so play around with placement until your bathroom looks like a spirit’s playground.
18. Zombie Hand Faucet Extender
Forget boring sink setups-swap in a zombie hand faucet extender, and your bathroom instantly levels up into a horror movie set. All you need is a hyper-realistic silicone zombie hand (you can find these online or make one if you’re crafty) and a little creativity.
Position the hand so it looks like it’s clawing its way out of the faucet base, with water flowing through the gnarly, decomposed palm. The trick is to use waterproof adhesive or even a couple zip ties to keep it steady-just be careful not to block the actual water flow.
Bonus points if you dab some fake blood around the wrist for a truly grisly touch, your guests might flinch every time they go to wash their hands.
19. Black Soap Bar
Grab a black soap bar (you’ll find charcoal or gothic-themed bars easily online), then carefully press a clean plastic skeleton hand or just your own fingers into the surface to make that creepy, bony impression-don’t worry about perfection, the weirder, the better. Place it on an old-school ceramic soap dish, and for extra gross-out points, dab a bit of red food coloring or washable paint to look like old blood stains.
Scatter a handful of dollar-store plastic spiders around the dish, they’ll look like they’re crawling out from under the bar. Set this scene on your bathroom counter, let the low lighting do the rest, the shadows will really sell the haunted vibe.
It’s a cheap trick with a big payoff; your guests might hesitate before washing their hands.
20. Halloween-Themed Wall Art
Want to make your bathroom feel instantly haunted? Swap out your usual wall art for vintage-style anatomical heart and skull diagrams-think of those old medical illustrations you’d see in a Victorian textbook.
Pop them into ornate black frames (you can find cheap ones at thrift stores or paint your own), then hang them on your bathroom wall for a moody, gothic vibe. For extra edge, flick a little red or black paint onto the glass for a subtle splatter effect, it looks like a mad scientist’s lab in the best way possible.
Finish the look by placing a couple of battery-operated candles on the counter or a shelf nearby-their flickering light will cast eerie, moving shadows over the detailed drawings, making your bathroom feel like a scene from a spooky story every time you walk in.
21. Distressed Black Cheesecloth
This inexpensive gauzy fabric creates an abandoned, cobweb-covered atmosphere perfect for Halloween. The tattered, semi-transparent texture adds eerie dimension while maintaining functionality. To achieve this look, stretch and tear cheesecloth for authentic weathering, then drape loosely over fixtures.
Pair with dim lighting, faux spiders, and gothic accessories like black candles or skeleton hands holding soap dispensers. The lightweight material is easily removable after the season, making cleanup effortless while delivering maximum spooky impact for guests.
22. Bat Hand towel Hook
Add subtle spooky charm to your bathroom with bat-shaped hand towel hooks that blend functionality with Halloween style. These decorative hooks feature detailed bat silhouettes in matte black or antique bronze finishes, perfect for hanging towels, robes, or costumes. Easy to install with standard mounting hardware, they work on any wall surface and complement both modern and gothic bathroom aesthetics.
The sturdy metal construction ensures durability beyond October, making them a year-round statement piece for bat enthusiasts. Pair with coordinating bath accessories like shower curtains or soap dispensers for a cohesively themed space.
23. Glow Stick Mirror Frame
Grab a bunch of orange and purple glow sticks-bonus points if you snatch up the chunky bracelet-size ones. Snap them to activate, then use black ribbon to tie or tape them all around your bathroom mirror’s edge, staggering the colors for a trippy, otherworldly effect.
For extra spook, attach a few tiny plastic bats directly to the ribbon or even let them dangle down in front of the glass. When you turn off the lights, the mirror’s surrounded by this eerie, glowing halo, and the glass will reflect every ghostly movement.
It takes just a few minutes, cleanup is a breeze (just untie the ribbon), and the whole thing makes brushing your teeth way more exciting.
24. Mummy Wrapped Toilet Roll
Turn your plain toilet paper into a hilarious little mummy-just grab a roll, wrap it with some thin white gauze (the frayed edges make it look extra authentic), and stick on a pair of googly eyes so they peek out from the wrappings. For a creepier vibe, dab on a few drops of fake blood here and there-don’t go overboard, you want spooky, not crime scene.
Stack a few mummified rolls in a vintage wire basket beside the toilet, then scatter some tiny plastic scarabs at the base so it looks like they’re crawling out. It’s a super easy DIY that adds personality to your bathroom, and your guests will crack up every time they reach for a square.
25. Haunted Ghost Decals On Mirror
These removable vinyl stickers feature translucent or white spectral figures, floating apparitions, and wispy spirits that appear to emerge from the glass itself. Easy to apply and remove without residue, they’re perfect for temporary Halloween transformations.
Position multiple ghosts at varying heights for a haunted mansion effect, or create a single dramatic centerpiece. The decals work beautifully with bathroom lighting, casting subtle shadows that enhance the spooky ambiance and startle unsuspecting guests during nighttime visits.
