Here are 31 more Pallet Halloween Ideas that are FRIGHTFULLY fabulous! They range from super-simple to HAUNTINGLY intricate. Thanks to our past crafters for some of these submissions, and to the DIY community in general for other ideas! We can’t wait for more!
Pallet Halloween Ideas – Blockheads and more fast, fun ideas – some from scrap pallet wood:
Put those scrap blocks to good use. Some of these ideas would require NO woodworking experience whatsoever, and you don’t have even to be good at art. You just have to have a little fun (and a few leftover/scrap nails). These would be great for centerpieces, for placeholders – like making a different block creature for each of your family or friends – or just decorative touches.

Use those scraps and trimmings you have lying around in a bucket or container. If you save a lot of scraps, you may not even have to do much cutting at all. Add a piece of branch for a stem, and coat the boards however you want, and you’ve got master-"pieces." These pumpkins wouldn’t rot or freeze, and don’t have to be carved.

When crafting with pallets, we all end up with one or two boards that are partially split or broken on one end. Wouldn’t they be terrific for these little cutouts? You could accomplish these with just a hand saw if you want, but a jig saw or band saw would make the project even faster.

Another brilliant and fun idea: make an "out of candy" or "out of treats" sign for your front porch if you don’t want to turn out the porch lights. Again, you wouldn’t have to do a single cut. Use a scrap piece of wood and decorate it as you choose.

How about this scrappy little creature? These could be made from bits and pieces, and they’d be amazing for your Halloween decor. You can make crazy spiders, or scary ones with fangs, or anything else your Blackened, Halloween Heart wants.

Block Candle Holders are great, and can be drilled out or just chiseled out for shallow tea lights. Then, just decorate them any way you want!

These little ghosts could be pieced together from scraps in your workshop (or cut out from broken boards or scraps), but no one would ever know! Use some scrap wire to hang them (or a stronger fishing line), and get "spirited".
Spoooooky scrap cutouts (source)
This pieced-together pumpkin would be ideal for that one pallet board that got split or damaged. You NEED to have a cut board, so why not let Mother Nature (or wrong forklift driving) help you along with it? Then, lace the parts together with twine, wire, or anything else you choose.

This witch COULD cost you five dollars … Or you could use your Pallet creativity, and do it for FREE! Wouldn’t this be fun to prop in a corner, or put outside in front of the shrubs?

Pallet Halloween Ideas – Now you may have to do a little more work to make these, but they’re still fun and festive:
The next set is a bit more challenging, but worth the extra bit of effort, and would dress up any Halloween decor.
This Jack O’ Pallet is EXTREMELY challenging. Don’t roll your eyes. How can any of you resist all those intact boards? But make this craft, and THEN turn it into something else. That’s the beauty of pallets as a medium.

These pallet ghosts aren’t scaring anyone, but they’re certainly charming. It wouldn’t take too much to make these, and again, you could use partial pieces of wood, too. Just adjust your ghosts for the scraps you’ve got!

A touch of Halloween elegance! Think of how useful a simple centerpiece box like this one, made from pallets, could be for MANY parties or gatherings! It could become a tradition to pull this centerpiece holder from where it is stored and have the family help to create new ideas for each event.

This Keep Out sign, although not the most difficult Pallet Halloween Idea, could become challenging, depending on how outrageous you wanted to get. It would be an excellent project to have the kids help out on. "Bloody" little hand prints are much more frightening than usual ones.

Make your own Pallet Pumpkin Patch! Going to a discount or clearance store for a set of vines or greenery, and have some fun!

These pumpkins must’ve been plucked a while ago. They seem to have lost their foliage … But would still look outstanding out on your front yard!

As with the centerpiece, candle holders can be multi-functional. This candle holder became Halloween-ready with a simple change to dark candles.
Add to the party decor with this candle holder – add black, orange and green candles and it’d be perfect for Halloween! (source)
Do I want to know which way is it to PALLET TOWN? This Pallet Halloween Idea could be fun for the whole family. Have each member name a favorite town, place, or movie reference. Maybe name "streets" after each family member? The pallet possibilities are almost endless on this one.

Arrrrrgh! RUN! There’s a monster in this deceiving Pallet Pumpkin Box! Or is there…?

Sometimes, creation is so good; it can apply to almost every holiday. This pirate-themed kid’s room, with the proper lighting, could work year-round, but with the skull cutout that creates amazing illuminated patterns on the wall, it’s especially magical at Halloween.
