Halloween Bloody Bathroom Decor Ideas
Create a bloody murder scene in your bathroom. The best part about this decor is you can go as light or heavy as you want: subtle, or literally an all out blood bath.
This is so easy to DIY or purchase bloody items off of Amazon for under $10.
If you want to be really cruel you can also dim the lights of your bathroom by removing some bulbs or replacing them with a blacklight bulb (get it here).
Below are various ways to bloody up your toilet, bathtub/shower, and mirror.
Bloody Toilet
Use dollar store red lipstick to write a bone chilling message under the toilet seat or lid that’ll be sure to make guests pee a little faster.
To maximize the scare factor you can put limbs hanging out from your toilet. You can find the limb here or at the Dollar store and the non staining pool dye here. Put it in the bowl for a bloody flush (try food coloring for a DIY option).
For bloody hand prints you can either color Karo syrup with red food coloring or buy fake bloody print stickers.
To really drive the dagger home, put the murder in the bathroom too! Make the ultimate scare-the-sh*t-out-of-them toilet by turning it into your favorite slasher character. Get the look HERE
This is cheap to do just use a Jason mask, a foam head (under $3.99), and old shirt!
Imagine how creepy it would feel to sit or stand in front of the throne with that behind you…
You could also put the murderer facing the toilet infront of your shower or tub so when men are doing their business they feel someone looking over their shoulder.
Recreate this look by using a coat rack, DIY PVC pipe dummy, or a sewing form, draped with a long dress or old costume, a mask, and cheap wig. You can use gloves and old shoes for the hands and feet.
This would go especially well with the phrase “Watch Your Back” written under the toilet seat.
Recreate this look with a PVC pipe or wire form.

Put an old mask and a wig on a balloon for a floating head.
Use a dollar store bath mat, piece of cloth, small hand towel, or placemat for the bathroom floor.
For the shower, an old bed sheet, dollar store, or Amazon shower curtain will do.
Put lights and/or a cardboard cutout or sticker of your favorite psychopath behind the blood stained curtain for a creepy glow.

- Karo syrup with red food coloring
