Many of Halloween's origins and traditions are widely believed to be traced back to the Celtic's ancient Gaelic seasonal festival known as Samhain-pronounced 'sow-in'. Samhain, Bealtaine, Imbolc, and Lughnasadh represent the four seasonal festivals of Gaelic culture. The Celts marked Samhain as the conclusion of the harvest season and the onset of winter. Samhain's celebration of seasonal transition was also viewed as a time where favorable crossing existed between the boundaries of the current world and the otherworld. It was believed that this dissolved borderline allowed the souls of the afterlife to roam between these two worlds. Characteristics of the Samhain festival included offerings of food and drink for the spirits, feasts, costumes (also referred to as mumming and guising), reciting songs and or verses door-to-door as trade for food, and sacred bonfires.
Some historians, however, believe that Halloween's roots stem from a Christian holiday and are distinct from Samhain and other seasonal harvest festivals.

For me, Halloween is one of the most exciting holidays of the year. It’s the only night where you can dress up like your favorite character in search of the perfect night’s out, all this while eating delicious pumpkin pie in between.
Finding awesome Halloween decorations is a challenge. Everyone buys the same things at the store… but with 3D printing you can make something unique. Here are the coolest things to 3D print in honor of Halloween.
1. Transformer Pumpkin Spider
Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 2 – 4 hours
View on Thingiverse
Robots, spiders, pumpkins, why not have it all? This 3D printed-transformer-pumpkin-spider will bring a bit of diversity to your Halloween decorations. Why not try something new this year and decorate your home in a cybernetic way. Just imagine the possibilities, pumpkin-spiders, grave-werewolves and hunted-tree-snakes, wouldn’t that be something?
2. Ram Skull Mask
Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 2 – 4 hours
View on Thingiverse
A Ram Skull Mask can be very efficient if you really want to scare kids off of your property. Just add some creepy lights that randomly light up a few minutes apart, and I am sure that it will make a hell of an impact.
3. Creepy Halloween Tree with Pumpkins
Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 1 – 2 hours
View on Thingiverse
I imagine this surrounded by plants and vegetation, with random smoke coming out of the improvised forest, while a red light is flashing behind it, every few seconds. This is an interesting Halloween decoration to have during this night of terror.
4. Jack-O-Lantern Tea Lights Happy/Sad
Level: Beginner
Time to Print: 30 min – 1 hour
View on Thingiverse
On the economical side, it’s nice to have something that brings you a bit closer to Halloween if you don’t want to go all out in your decoration spree. This Jack-O-Lantern will look great on your work desk during Halloween. It will show you the most important expression that you make when you arrive at work and when it’s time to go home for the weekend.
5. Dragon Door Knocker
Level: Expert
Time to Print: 3 – 5 hours
View on Thingiverse
You should take things to a medieval level this Halloween. A dragon door knob will give an extra touch to your medieval or game of thrones theme house decoration. I know that you may lack that wooden old medieval door touch, but you can buy a foil wrap that you can cover the door with, which will give a wooden aspect that will do the trick.
6. Movable Skeleton Arm Extension
Level: Expert
Time to Print: 3 – 5hours+
View on Thingiverse
Give a spooky touch to your skeleton costume with this movable arm extension. You just need a long coat and a skeleton mask and this arm will bring shivers down the people that it touches. Would you print one or buy one?
7. Articulated Skeleton Couple
Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 2 – 4 hours
View on Thingiverse
From my point of view, the front of your house should be packed with dodgy characters that you should stay away from. However, a skeleton couple that shows the sign of peace can be attractive as well. People will simply adore them and I am sure that they would love to take a picture off.
8. Boo Sign Text to Scare Away the Bad Kids
Level: Beginner
Time to Print: 15 – 30 min
View on Thingiverse
There’s no such thing as Halloween without at least one person that says “Boo!” to a helpless person. A sign which specifies that may be of use if you aren’t really in the mood this year. Just put some ketchup on, paint yourself white with flour, and carry this thing on you at all time. You would make the greatest silent ghost!
9. Halloween Cookie Cutters
Level: Beginner
Time to Print: 5 – 30 min
View on Thingiverse
You can’t really get into the spirit of Halloween without baking. You need to bake some delicious treats for yourself, your family, and for all the creepy monsters that will visit your home during this dark night. These cookie cutters will form the most delicious chocolate bats, which you can feed to all the ghouls that are trick or treating!
10. Animatronic Eyeballs
Level: Expert
Time to Print: 3 – 5 hours
View on Thingiverse
If you really want to strike fear in the heart of non-believers you have to up your game. With a bit of 3D printing and some basic engineering skills, you can create something that will creep everyone out. I know that if I see these eyes in a dark place, and they suddenly start staring at me, I will run towards the opposite direction and never come back. But that’s just me.
11. Pumpkin Coach
Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 1 – 3 hours
View on Thingiverse
Pumpkin carving is the most exciting moment that a family can do before Halloween. Getting your hands dirty and shaping a creepy face out of a pumpkin can be fun and exciting. To get everything right, you would also need the perfect support for your newly carved pumpkin, so why not aim for a 3D printed design that can turn the right pumpkin into a wonderful fairy-tale coach.
12. Plague Doctor Mask
Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 2 – 4 hours+
View on Thingiverse
Plague doctors were amongst the first that carried a creepy Halloween costume throughout the year. Of course there’s certain medical properties behind the costume itself, but nevertheless you wouldn’t want a guy like that to be in your home. But for one night only, you can take advantage of the situation and become the ultimate plague doctor!
13. Freddy Glove for Kids
Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 2 – 4 hours+
View on Thingiverse
If you have kids, you certainly have to think about the perfect costume for your youngling. I know that most people will go for superhero costumes or princesses, but why not be creative and turn your child into the son of Freddy, and let him or her bring nightmares on any street. I double dare you!
14. The Nightmare before Christmas Diorama
Level: Expert
Time to Print: 24hours+
View on Thingiverse
Another cool decoration that you should have in your house, surrounded by fake webs and a touch of fake snow, may be this Nightmare before Christmas Diorama. The project is quite complicated itself, but the outcome will look amazing in every house, even after Halloween.

16. The Scary Doll fromthe Saw Movies
Level: Expert
Time to Print: 24hours+
View on Thingiverse
Whenever I see this doll I try to stay away from any sharp corners. It takes my game face away and I would prefer to walk slowly passed it, in hopes that a timer won’t appear out of no ware, and I won’t get my foot stuck in some strange mechanism. I am sure that everyone can make the perfect 3D printed SAW game outside of their house, but they will definitely need the right doll for it!
17. The Fearsome Death
Level: Beginer
Time to Print: 1 – 4 hours
View on Thingiverse
Bringing a touch of mystery to your home for Halloween can be very exciting. I imagine this 3D printed sculpture, sitting in the snow outside of your house, turn to the side so that its face would be revealed, only if someone walks up to your front door. Imagine how creepy that would be!

Time to Print: 2 – 5 hours
View on Thingiverse
Now, when it comes to “pimping” your house for Halloween you can come up with all these craziest ideas. You can be as crazy as doctor Frankenstein and turn your light switches into light plates, to bring a gruesome atmosphere into your house. If you add zapping noises or a monster voice that screams every time when the lights are turned on, that would be quite amazing.
19. Giant Halloween Spider
Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 3 – 5 hours+
View on Thingiverse
There’s one thing that I hate most when it comes to spiders, and that’s a huge spider that guards the front entrance of any house. I do hope that I won’t encounter this anytime in my life, but if I do, I hope that it will be a 3D printed one.
20. Haunted House
Level: Beginner
Time to Print: 1 – 3 hours
View on Thingiverse
Creating the perfect Halloween story may also require a haunted house. Although the plastic is not fire resistant, with the perfect LED light you can bring the friendlies ghosts to your home for some delicious candy. Keep this inside of your house and make sure that you have some moving curtains around it.
21. Led Skull Lanterna
Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 2 – 4 hours
View on Thingiverse
If you are dressing as Death this year and you already have a scythe, why not get a skull lantern as well? You have to light the way of the lost souls, so this 3D printed Skull Lantern is the perfect way to do that. It will also be a nice touch if your friends are a bit too tipsy, and they lack the focus to follow someone to the right neighbourhood.
22. TriSkullQuadraClops Candy Dish
Level: Beginner
Time to Print: 1 – 3 hours

24. Raven Skull Statue
Level: Beginner
Time to Print: 3 – 5 hours+
View on Thingiverse
This design was made if you want to take things to the next level, and to simply decorate your house as the perfect graveyard. Bring this raven into your home or front yard, would be like placing the cherry on top of the skull pile. When Halloween is over, you don’t even need to throw it away since it can be a great reference to Edgar Allan Poe. You know…the poet.
25. Halloween Grave with Pumpkin head
Level: Beginner
Time to Print: 1 – 3 hours
View on Thingiverse
If you are indeed decorating your house as the prefect graveyard, well you will also be needing a grave.
