17 Halloween Plants That Will Make Your Home Hauntingly Beautiful

This seemingly delicate plant goes by a few names, including "red magic lily" which is also very fitting. The spider lily (lycoris radiata), which originates from Asia, sort of look like the multi-legged insect, which is both haunting and strikingly beautiful.

A brain-shaped cactus? Nothing is creepier! Though, snagging a couple of these for your home during Halloween might just be one of the most creative things yet!

You can probably see why this peculiar stem is called a doll's eye. The aptly named plant is usually found deep in the forest, which makes it all the more spookier. But you can also grow it in shaded areas of your own backyard, too!

More than anything, ghost flowers look pretty sad! (Someone pass the tissues.) The drooping is part of their nature, so don't worry. This, on top of the eerie white color that comes with it, makes the ghost flower an almost perfect choice for Halloween decor.

If you thought you were seeing bats hanging upside down, look again. You probably weren't the only one fooled, though—the black bat flower got its name for a reason! This one is especially fitting for those who have a thing for vampire-esque things.

California pitcher plants look like they came straight out of a zombie apocalypse, which is exactly what makes them so fascinating. You can mainly find these wicked organisms in southern Oregon and northern California.

A witch-hazel has many slim, yellow stems sprouting from the base, which kind of makes it look like a floating orb. Magical, right? You can easily fit this one into your fall and Halloween home arrangement.

Nature can be just as beautiful as it is creepy—which is definitely the case with this Earth Star plant. The moody ambiance is due to the maroon and green color combination and the "star" shape comes from many different angles that its leaves sprout in.

This type of orchid gets its name from the Latin word 'dracula,' which translates to 'little dragon.' Its has fang-like stems that give it a vampiric look. Fun fact: there are over 100 different species and variations of this one!

If you were to place this spider plant inside of a hanging vase and then put some fake cobwebs over it, it would make for a gnarly (and spooky) decoration. The best part is: You can take the cobwebs off, and you've got yourself an evergreen plant!

Venus fly traps are known for eating bugs to survive—which is pretty crazy for a plant. It helps that it has jagged teeth formed along the "mouth" to give it that extra scary factor.

Polka Dot Begonias are truly a freak of nature, but in the best way possible. The spotted patterns along their leaves aren't blemishes, but the natural design that give it its name.

Add some black magic to your garden with this plant named for its midnight black color. It'll instantly add a haunting look to your home.

No, somebody didn't cut the the leaves of Little Swiss monsteras, this is how they are grown! If you look close enough, it might just appear rather skeletal!

The more a snake plant grows, the more its curvy stature makes it actually look like a snake. You could definitely have some fun with this one when getting ready for the spooky holiday.

This plant may appear to be soft, but you have to remember that an old man cactus is still a cactus. The white fuzz (which resembles graying hair) masks the sharp spines protruding out of it.

Saving this one for last, not because it's the worst, but because it's truly horrifying to look at during a first glance. (Which, in this specific case, is amazing!) The more mature a Begonia ferox gets, the more raised, black bumps grow on its leaves. So, if you want to go for a more creepy impact, make sure you get one that is a bit older!
