Short answer: Plan Halloween porch decorations in three zones. Put something that glows low, in the bushes or a dark window. Hang something at eye level or above, from the porch ceiling, a beam or a tree. Then add one larger piece on the lawn. If you have no outdoor outlet, use battery-powered and no-power pieces and skip the inflatable.
People see the front of a house from two places: the sidewalk, and the last few steps to the door. This guide splits the front of a house into three zones and shows which PorchHaunt pieces fit each one, how each one is powered and how big it is.

Zone 1: bushes and windows
This is the low layer. At night it is usually the darkest part of the yard, so small lights show up well there. The Flashing Peeping Eyes come as 3 pairs in green, orange and magenta. Tuck them into shrubs along the path, or set them where someone walking up will see them from the side.
In dark activation mode the eyes turn on in the dark and switch off in daylight, so place them where daylight reaches them during the day. There is also a steady-on mode. They run on AAA batteries, which are not included. More placement tips: Where to Put Peeping Eyes for the Best Scare.
Zone 2: porch ceiling, beams and trees
This is the eye-level layer. The Hanging Grim Reapers are a 3 pack in green, black and orange. The black reaper is about 47 in and the other two are about 35 in each. They need no power, each one has a hanging rope attached, and the arms bend so you can pose them.
The 47 in Hanging Light-up Ghost adds a white LED glow at the same height. It runs on 3 AA batteries (not included) and has one button: press once for a timer that stays on for 6 hours and repeats every day, twice for always on, and three times for off. Hang it away from a bright porch light so its glow stays visible.
Hang each piece so it stays above head height or outside the walking path. How to do it: How to Hang Halloween Decorations From a Porch Ceiling.
Zone 3: the lawn
This is the layer people see from across the street. The Ghost Band inflatable shows three ghosts with drums, a microphone and an instrument that looks like an accordion, lit by 6 LEDs. It is about 93 in long, 57 in tall and 41 in deep, so it fills width more than height. It inflates when plugged in, through the included power adapter.
It comes with 4 metal stakes and 2 ropes. The supplier's setup steps also call for sandbags, which are not included. An extension cord is not included either. If you use one, choose a cord rated for outdoor use. Setup tips: How to Keep a Halloween Inflatable From Blowing Over.
