Determine your amount of available space. Whether you have a small cubicle, a shared desk or your own office, you can add flair to your workspace. Just be careful not to overdo it; you need to make sure you still have plenty of space to work.

Determine what is appropriate for your work space. Some offices might not bat an eyelash at fake blood drizzled atop your computer monitor. Other places might be calling in a priest to exorcise demons from your rolling office chair by lunch time. Consider the feelings of those around you before arranging a particularly gory display.

Take necessary precautions. Easy come, easy go. Do not make any lasting changes to your cubicle. Remember it is company property. Use only tape or pins that can be easily removed once the holiday season is over.

Use orange and black streamers for festive Halloween color. Starting at one end of your cubicle, unroll while twisting together black and orange tissue paper streamers.

Visit your local party shop. A party shop will have inexpensive options for decorating your cubicle including dancing werewolves or monsters, colorful Halloween confetti and more.

Carve up a pumpkin. Consider buying a small pie pumpkin and carving a Jack-o-Lantern into its side. You could even carve up the pumpkin to fit in with a company theme or inside joke. Don't use candles inside the pumpkin, as many offices will consider this a fire hazard.

Use props like fake arms, feet or hands. Dangle these props out of the drawers in your desk or the drawers in your file cabinet.

Present candy to passersby. Trick-or-treating may be for kids, but everyone loves Halloween treats. Keeping a bowl of candy on your desk will make the most popular cubicle in the whole office.

Create custom crafts that will show your Halloween spirit. You could even use office supplies for craft materials. Twist paper clips to make decorative bats, ghosts, broomsticks, and other symbols of the holiday. Dangle your paper clip creations from the ceiling with tape or pins. Post-its that are colored and stapled together can even make a great streamer.

Don't neglect to decorate your chair. Also, don't forget that thing inside your chair...you. Dressing up in a costume will make your cubicle much more festive. Keep all costumes work-appropriate, of course.
