1. A Ouija board welcome mat that’s probably the best way to ward off unwanted visitors from knocking on your door â we can’t say the same about the spirits you might summon every time you wipe your feet, though…
Amazon
Promising review: “This mat was perfect this Halloween. It adds the perfect amount of subtle eeriness and it held up really well under our covered doorway. I’m sure this will last for at least another three years. The ink is clear and the words are legible (which was a concern I had prior to it arriving). But, despite the inexpensive price tag, it’s actually a well-made mat that’s true to the provided picture.” âMorgan Benedict
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
2. Pumpkin string lights to add the perfect finishing touch to your porch or yard. The magic of these jack-o’-lanterns will brighten up even the gloomiest of fall days â plus, they’re waterproof and don’t need to be plugged into an outlet. What a treat!Amazon
This set is 9.8 feet in length and is powered by 3 AA batteries. It has two different modes (flashing and steady) so you can create the perfect ambiance for your Halloween party or spooky movie night.
Promising review: “I love these pumpkin string lights. I did not realize when ordering that this required batteries to light up but after receiving these lights, I was pleasantly surprised. The battery pack makes this decorative string light so mobile and perfect to be placed anywhere you would like to show your Halloween spirit. The string lights also come in an additional blinking setting, which is super cute. I only wish there were more pumpkin lights so I I’m considering buying another one!” âingrid
Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
3. A spider web fireplace mantel scarf that’ll look so appealing, it’ll probably cast a spell on anyone who lays their eyes on it. I mean, over 850 people gave this 5 stars for its quality and appearance… coincidence? I think not.
If you don’t have a fireplace, you could also use this on your TV stand/entertainment center!
Promising review: “I took a chance on this item and was expecting something that I could use perhaps for one or two seasons. I was blown away by the quality of what I received. It is thick and really well made! This is a piece that is going to last for years. The detail on it is amazing and it was exactly what my mantel needed to anchor all of my Halloween decor. I highly recommend this product.” âExhausted in the Burbs
Get it from Amazon for $7.29.
4. And a delicate yet effective lace spider web lampshade cover, ideal if you’re not a big fan of colorful, spooky decor and are looking for something more subdued. For under $10, it’s sure to impress â even the likes of Wednesday Addams herself would get excited over the eerie elegance of this.
Promising review: “Love this drape. Good quality for the price and shipping was quick as well. Love the sheer ribbon that puts the shade together. Highly recommended for spooky lamps!” âChristina H
Get it from Amazon for $7.49Â (also available in a pack of three).
5. A pair of skeleton flamingos so eye-catching, you’ll be saying, “It’s me, hi, I’m that neighbor, it’s me.” Because with these yard decorations that are both funny *and* frightening, you’ll be the envy of everyone on your street.
Promising review: “These are super cute! I love mine â I had them out for most of October and they held up well under a pine tree canopy; they look exactly like they did when I put them out. Once I put them in the ground, they stayed put, no issues with blowing over. The white paint on the bones (which are raised shapes, not just painted) is not the best, but you can’t tell unless you are up close. Once it fades over time, I will repaint them properly.” âQueen of the Yard
Get the two-pack from Amazon for $22.99.
6. A set of three flickering LED candles encased in Halloween-themed decals that add a cozy dose of creepiness to your home â without the horror of wondering if you blew the flames out before bed.You’ll need AA batteries for these as well!
Promising review: “Fabulously creepy and effective for creating that spooky ambience! They come with timer to save energy. They feel like real wax candles and the artwork is wonderfully eery with the faux flicker!” âKleist
Get the set of three from Amazon for $16.99Â (also available in other styles).
7. A set of 3D Victorian graphic portraits that’ll be a right scream when you have guests over who might mistake these for your actual family members. Thanks to their unique holographic design, these portraits appear perfectly innocent, but as you move around, they morph into something totally nightmarish. *Cue the jump scares.*
Promising review: “These were an absolute hit at my Halloween party â the holographic effect was very good. I’ll keep them for years to come. The only drawback is that they do not have any obvious ways to hang up, but I used pushpins and I think that’s a small compromise considering the price.” âYamini Manohar
Get them from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in seven styles and packs of three or six).
8. A pack of decorative 3D bats in various sizes to add some dimension and bring the vibes of Transylvania to your otherwise blah-looking walls. Reviewers note how sturdy these are as they can be used for many Halloweens (and centuries) to come â in fact, they’re so well-made, they could even outlive Count Dracula himself.Â
These come with adhesive that allows you to stick them on your walls, and while some reviewers said they came off easily as advertised, others said the adhesive did take paint off when removed, so you should test the adhesive in a discreet area before placing the bats all over. You could use black thumbtacks, rolled up painter’s tape, or clear Command strips as safe alternatives if needed.
Promising review: “These bats are so awesome! They are an excellent addition to our stairwell for Halloween this year. They are made out of a thin yet sturdy plastic that is shiny on one side and matte on the other (you can opt for either look, but I thought the adhesive would stick better to the matte side). They come with little adhesive tags that stick to our wall very well (we have untextured walls with latex paint). They also come in a variety of sizes and there are plenty in one order. ” âBritt
Get a set of 28 bats from Amazon for $6.99.
9. And a neon bat sign I must inform you about, since this little thing is under $10, is super adorable, and will give your spooky season decor from last year a serious ~glow-up~ â pun intended. A bonus? It can be charged up using batteries or via a USB!
Promising review: “Love everything about this light decoration! It’s priced well, easy to use, and looks great! I was worried it would be too bright and disturb sleeping, but it’s perfect. I also love that you don’t have to use batteries, and the cord is long enough for it to reach almost anywhere you want it.” âKatie Bordom
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
10. Classic stretchy spider webbing perfect for draping over bushes, staircases, walls, and more â the options are truly endless, so much so, it may just leave your head spinning [its own web]. The bag contains over 800 square feet, which means you can shoot your web like Spider-Man and still have enough left over to share with your neighbors, quite honestly.
Promising review: “This bag of fake spider webbing is huge! I own a 3,000-square-foot house and was able to place webbing on the entirety of the first floor for a party. This included placing webbing on both the back deck and screened in porch. Imagine an entire corner of a room filled from floor to ceiling and about 3′ wide on either side and multiply that by 7 or 8 and that’s how much webbing this is. I used clear push pins to stretch the webbing over and it gave the party a great effect. This does not come with little black spiders.” âScott Hutchings
Get 800 sq. feet of webbing from Amazon for $12.99.
11. And some festive black cloth to bring the look of a haunted house to your own home. Use it alongside other hanging decor or string lights to officially coin this season’s aesthetic: ~Creepy-chic~.
Promising review: “I specifically ordered this cloth because of the amount you get for the price. I used it for a Halloween party for decoration and it was exactly as pictured and as I expected. I cut it in half to use in different areas. It is thin, but that is the purpose of it. It drapes and hangs nicely and looks great over string lights.” âTaryn M.
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
12. A spine candle so creative, it’s sending shivers down my you know what. I guarantee that you and anyone who catches a glimpse of it will love it with every single bone in their body. Promising review: “Super cool!! The candle makes me feel like being in the classroom of Professor Lupin learning how to cast a Patronus! Very cute decor!!” âYvetteÂ
Get it from Amazon for $19.99Â (available in two colors).Â
13. An adorable 8×10 ghost art print if you’re living with a partner whose appreciation for spooky season might just rival yours. Grab this and put it on display as a cute way to commemorate the fact that you didn’t end up ~ghosting~ one another. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Mar De Luna Arts Co. / Etsy
Mar De Luna Arts Co. is a small biz whose store is filled with tons of cute knick knacks and art pieces.Â
You can even snag a similar frame to the one pictured here.
Promising review: “I love this little print so much. When I saw it, it just made me think of my husband and so I picked it up to hang in our room. The packaging was precise but it was a little big for the 8″x10″ frame so I trimmed it down. It’s just so cute though!! I can’t get over it.” âJiQiRenLee
Get it from Mar De Luna Arts Co. on Etsy for $15.Â
14. A set of 12 spider shower curtain hooks, an inventive way to add a freaky spin to every room in your DIY haunted house. Pair it with a horror-themed shower curtain like this creative reviewer did below if you really want to up the ante on your decor this year.
Promising review: “I am in love with these spiders!!!!!! They look amazing in my bathroom and match perfectly with my gothic decor. Super happy!!!!” âMarcelina
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
15. A handmade ghost-shaped spoon rest that ~eats~ at upgrading your Halloween kitchen decor. We think your new helping hand will fully support a sprinkle of ghost peppers in some occasional fall recipes this season to really ~pumpkin spice~ things up. Ok, ok, now I’m done.
Clay Art by Deckmann / Etsy
Clay Art by Deckmann is a Seattle-based small business offering handmade clay art made in the Pacific Northwest. Check out their store page for more Halloween spoon rest designs!
Promising review: “I bought this little ghostie spoon holder as a Christmas gift and it was such beautiful quality. I loved it! Not only was the product excellent, but Janice also went above and beyond to let me know when I could expect my order to ship, despite a massive snow storm! I highly recommend her shop!” âGabrielle Anderson
Get it from Clay Art by Deckmann on Etsy for $24. Free shipping is included!
16. A set of linen throw pillow covers adorned in stylish skeleton graphics that are so chic, you’ll be doing your own spooky jig once you see them lying on your couch. They’ll look so gOoOd that you may just want to keep these on display year-round.
These are throw pillow covers, so be sure to grab inserts if you need them! For optimal fluffiness, select inserts 2 inches larger than your cover (so a 20×20 insert for an 18×18 cover, for instance).
Promising review: “Iâm so happy with how the pillows look like! Perfect for autumn and Halloween decorations. For the price, they are probably the best buy of the year for me. No chemical smell, great sharp picture quality and all the same color. I LOVE IT!” âMaren
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).Â
17. A soy wax ghost candle in the shape of a couple of totally aww-worthy ghouls and probably the best gift you can give to yourself on an ominous October day. But good luck attempting to strike a match to it because this hunk of wax is almost too cute to light.
Melou Candles / Etsy
Melou Candles is a Toronto-based small biz specializing in handmade candles.
Promising review: “Are these not the cutest ghosties?? They were packaged very well and didn’t break or chip in the delivery. Not melted either with summer heat. They now live on my shelves, they’re almost too cute to melt!” âSarah M.
Get them from Melou Candles on Etsy for $10.84+ (available in five styles â the two pictured on the right are available here). Note the estimated delivery date range for your zip code on the listing, since these ship from Canada.
18. A metal sign equal parts hilarious and dark â so much so that the moment you hang it up, you’ll probably ~die laughing~.
Promising review: “Wickedly adorable little sign. It got bent by the USPS to fit into my mailbox, I just hammered it out and you can barely tell. No fault of the sellers. Great price, fast shipping. Would purchase again.” âJessica Brockman
Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (available in nine styles).
19. A life-size skull for a classic piece of decor no Halloween-adoring household should be without. In need of some inspo? Do yourself a favor and check out the customer review photos for this â because we know some of you go hard for Halloween â but this meat-themed plate below might be the most cursed (I mean, creative) thing I’ve ever seen.
Promising review: “VERY nice. Much more elegant and realistic than anything you can buy at a Halloween store. Pleasantly weighty, which surprised me and was kind of not ideal for my intended purpose (making a wreath), but BECAUSE the skull is more detailed and realistic, it has cavities that allowed for some lace ribbon and binding. I did have to glue the jaw on, which was a small annoyance and I’m sure a hinged jaw would drive the price up a lot, so I’m more than pleased. Honestly, I kind of love the bone tiara look in the product info, and that kind of spooky whimsy is part of why I bought this skull over another. The color is a bleached/cleaned type white. Not entirely realistic, but gorgeous. None of the faux dirt and grime. Overall? GREAT purchase. Likely to buy another in the future.” âPeligro Cruz
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
20. And a skull glasses holder if your version of a Halloween nightmare is misplacing your specs â grab this and bid the hours that turn into days spent trying to locate your eye glasses adieu. Bonus: There’s a space in the back cranial bone (better known as the occipital, if you’re a freak for anatomy) that’s perfect as a catchall for keys or jewelry!
Promising review: “I was looking for a glasses stand because I didn’t want my glasses to break due to me just throwing them on my nightstand. My mom recommended this cute skull one! I love it so sooo much and the bowl on the back holds my car keys and hair ties. â€ïž” âAbbi Boice
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four colors).
21. A Halloween corner sign you can attach to frames of all varieties â pictures, paintings, and even doors. Because if this year your modus operandi is less is more, these baltic birch designs will enhance any existing wall art you already have hanging up without much effort.
Wood N Moon Co / Etsy
Both sides come painted so you can use on either corner! If you need them painted in a different color, you can reach out to the seller.Â
Wood N Moon Co is a family-owned small business based in Newark, Delaware, that sells wooden signs, ornaments, and more.Â
Promising review: “Love them! They fit on the door frame so well and they came so well packaged!” âRachael L Vonengeln
Get them from Wood N Moon Co on Etsy for $12.95+ each (originally $17.27; available in eight designs, or you can mix and match them in sets of five or eight).
22. Four sets of “blood”-splattered weapons in the form of a decorative garland that Michael Myers would probably applaud you for putting on display. Designed with glossy materials in various blade shapes, you’ll really set the (crime) scene that’s totally ~to die for~.
You’ll get four banners, each of which has 12 “weapons” on them. The weapons themselves are thin, laminated plastic made to look shiny like metal.
Promising review: “Holy crap! These were such a hit at our Halloween party! They are just creepy enough to push a simple ‘crime scene’ decor over the top. Our ‘bloody bathroom’ became a huge photo hotspot all night. Highly recommended!” âMeShelle
Psst â Pair this with a bloody shower curtain to create a similar “bloody bathroom” scene as the reviewer above!
Get the set of four from Amazon for $16.99.
23. A made-to-order ghost vase so adorable, it’ll probably warm your heart rather than make your blood turn cold. But don’t worry, if you’re going for a more morbid look, you can just plop some fresh flowers in there that’ll ultimately wither and make their way into the afterlife in *checks watch* less than three days.
