Nuctenea umbratica
Interesting underside: pattern of a smiling scary face.
The spider hides during the day outside of buildings in wall crevices, or under loose bark. Spotted in a house.
The species name umbratica means "living in the shadows" in Latin.

Thanks Tukup. It's quite interesting spider, I agree.
I see you already mentioned Halloween. That was my first thought. What a catch. Thanks Mauron.
Yeah, good for Halloween. :-)
that face ;-) ... good stuff!
