, A swinging ghost made with durable, weighted fabricP.S. This thing is 5ft, so you'll definitely notice it even if it's hung up in your big ol' elm tree. The timer can be set for six hours and eighteen hours. This requires three AA batteries (not included). Promising review: "LOVE!! I just received my ghost today. This product is made very very well. The materials are top notch quality. The sheet is very thick and durable and the swing is made with a real wooden plank. It was very easy to assemble. I can hardly wait to hang him up! You will NOT be disappointed!" — Tammy AlvaradoAmazon, AmazonA string of Solar-powered spider lightsPromising review: "These little string lights are awesome. One order came with two strings of lights, each with its own solar charger and connectable stake/post to set up the solar charger (I just put mine out on the deck and it charged fine). There are no batteries or plugging involved, which is why I bought these. There are several modes for the lights, a few blinking options and a steady glow option. They are bright and easy to see from outside. I am going to buy more." — EarthWindAndFeather, An inflatable pumpkin patch family that'll be 8.5 ft. of funPromising review: "These were bigger than I expected, brightly colored, and easy to set up. They're super cute!" — Christopher H. WebbGrandin RoadA trio of witchesThe glowing heads are battery-powered (requiring two AA batteries each) and you can put them on a timer so they turn on at the same time each night and stay on for six hours. Promising review: "I started my collection three years ago and will continue to add to their coven! Well-made. Stand up to time. I tried a copycat and realized how much better the quality of this product than lesser priced versions. Adding ghosts this year. So cute our local paper put us on front page." — Beth12345Lowe'sA grim reaper archwayP.S. This is made with durable weather-resistant polyester, so don't worry about leaving the grim reaper out in the rain. Promising review: "Huge and love the light sound feature. Highly recommend. Love this." — MelissaA versatile camp of bats, 18 in allPromising review: "These bats are made of a sturdy, flexible plastic that will stand the test of several Halloweens. It is a real craft project to decorate and assemble them. I did some myself, but I know it will be more fun to put the rest together with the grandkids. I liked that there are at least two options for displaying them, either with the included stick-on patches or hanging them from the nearly invisible fishing line." — Mark W.AnthropologieA Halloween wreath made from teeny tiny glass ornamentsPromising review: "This is a beaut. This bauble Halloween wreath is a showstopper. It’s only July, and I couldn’t wait to hang it." — KellschicA pair of skeleton flamingos you should flamin-go get quickPromising review: "These are super cute! I love mine — 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." — Queen of the Yard, An inflatable UFO decorationTo be clear: The cow doll is not included! But you can get one on Amazon (frequently bought with this inflatable UFO). Promising review: "The hardest, most time-consuming part about putting this decoration up is how many neighbors and random passersby yell compliments from their cars and/or stop by to tell you how cool they think it looks while you’re trying to hang the thicc-boy cow inflatable inside with fishing wire. Seriously, it’s a neighborhood hit! 🛸🐄👽 Once you get past the initial setup, it deflates/inflates without issue and is a unique, cool Halloween decoration!!!" — TiffanyTerrain, TerrainA ceramic skull and pair of bones you can use as firepit decor, A retro scarecrow with a cheerful smile, patchwork overalls, and simple straw assemblyPromising review: "I have a toddler and two teenage boys who play sports. I do not have time to write reviews on Amazon for the hundreds of items that I buy. However, I needed to write a review for this item. It is absolutely adorable. It’s so well-made, and I can tell it’s going to be fine outside with the material it’s made from. He sits up perfectly. There is a small loop of fabric in the back of his head, so it was very easy to just stick a wire through there and secure it. He is just perfect!!!" — Kristin, Or a horror show scarecrow for folks who appreciate Halloween for the terror of it allThis is poseable and works with three AAA batteries (not included). Promising review: "This was very easy to assemble. The scarecrow outfit was thin, but well put together. Easy to pack up and store for next Halloween. Great motion-activated sound. It says several different things, and it moans. Easy to understand the scary voice. The lights in the eyes come on as it speaks. It looks great outside my barn. Love it ❤️" — E. Engen, Dennis NanceA pair of 3-ft. wide googly eyesPromising review: "These unique and large Halloween inflatable eyeballs really stand out! They are definitely a great addition. They can be used in many ways: on rooftops, in trees, outside of windows, or just on grass or in bushes! They are vivid in color and durable. They blow up fairly quickly and stay up! I would recommend them. I have had mine for several years now, and they have been in all kinds of crazy weather and still seem like new. I also won first place in two Halloween contests with them! If you need a focal point, this is it!

Promising review: "The grandkids loved and played with this doorbell all October long, and it held up beautifully. It still worked like a charm (same batteries) on Halloween night. Cute, spooky, and very bright." — Andrea D. McCannAmazon, A four-pack of face-changing paintings that'll look ghoulishly goodPromising review: "All my neighbors bring out Halloween decor in September. It's my first time truly doing decor outside the home. It’s a hit! We had some bushes in our front yard, and it looks like a cool sidewalk museum with these outside." — ValAmazon, A 21-inch jumping animatronic spiderCheck out this video if you want to hear the scream that comes outta this thing. Promising review: "This is a great display item. The spider is about two feet across with its legs out. She jumps up and at you about a foot with a scream and background noises. I had just finished putting the batteries in and turned it on: I guess I made a noise or something, THE SPIDER JUMPED! I spilled my coffee, LOL. It appears to activate out to about three to four feet, and the cats don't like it at all! So if you want something to scare the crap out of you, get this spider!!" — Wes, A set of bendable arms and legs that'll add some real personality to any plain pumpkinJust insert each piece into your pumpkin and adjust the pose to your liking! Promising review: "These arms and legs are so awesome! I just decorated my pumpkin and made it come to life. They were VERY easy to install (into my real pumpkin) and easy to pose. Very happy with this purchase! I hope they will last for years; I have the pumpkin on a covered porch, so it is somewhat protected from the weather." — JT, A classic cauldron for cooking up something cute on your lawnTo recreate the foggy glow like the photo on the left, grab a light-up mist maker. If you're looking for a lot of colorful smoke for a photo or a short moment, the reviewer on the right used a smoke stick. Promising review: "I got this to make a honey pot for my son’s Winnie the Pooh Halloween costume. This little witch's cauldron worked great – I painted it and added some rope for a handle. By itself, it would make a cute Halloween candy bowl too!" — Claude Daigle, A set of floating candles complete with a magic wand remoteSee it in action on TikTok here. Promising reviews: "I bought these for our Halloween party. We strung fishing string and tied these outside. When it got dark, it just looked like they were floating outside. All of our guests loved this!" — Shanea Steckman "I purchased these after I saw them in a viral TikTok video, and they did not disappoint! Every single one of the candles works perfectly and the flame flickers just like a real candle. They were really easy to put up in the ceiling because they were already strong with the fishing line. I just used clear thumbtacks and wrapped the line around them and hung it on the ceiling. The wand is so cool and works perfectly well for turning on and off the lights. I definitely would purchase more to add a little bit more magic throughout the house! Absolutely worth it!" — Korg, A pentagram wind chime with tiny brass bellsPromising review: "It's my favorite decoration right now. It's perfect." — Keisha, A trio of tentacles you can place anywhere in your yardPromising review: "These were exactly what we were looking for. The quality is great and the tentacles are sturdy with the ropes provided. The light and color are good enough for the evening on a brightly lit street." — Jav MMallory Mower / BuzzFeedA grim grins doormatThe image above is my doormat! I'm so far into the Ruggable life that nearly every room (and hallway) of my apartment is covered in one of their rugs...it was time to spread the trend outside. Like their rugs, this doormat is adjustable. It has a strong, slip-proof and weather-proof mat underneath with a durable design on top that can be removed and washed. Which is a great system if you want to update your doormats on the reg — just switch up the top!Target, TargetA 244'' fabric spider garland to drape over your front doorPromising review: "I love it!

It's cute, and many kids vocalized how much they loved it. It's very bright and plugs into a wall outlet, which I have hooked up to a timer so it turns on by itself. The decoration is a good size, just very low to the ground because it's so short. I love it and am happy to have been able to put it out this year!" — Laura, A Halloween bunting flagPromising review: "We live right by the water and have no wind break and these are holding up AMAZINGLY!!! This is all you basically need. LOVE them!" — HKA dozen candy corn traffic cones — a genius start for unique DIY ideasPromising review: "These are super fun. I used them to make a ring toss game for our fall festival." — Cynthia O'BrianTarget, TargetA grinning ghost with a heart that's all aglowPromising review: "Super cute! This plays about nine different sounds; the ghost’s voice is very sing-song-y and cartoonish. It is not scary. It seems like something little kids would really like." — Go4elk, And finally, a dozen classic witch hats that'll add a little extra magicPromising review: "They were perfectly packed and I love the fact some transparent line came with them. Easy to hang up and they de-wrinkle in a couple of days. I could wear them with a costume but I’d have to secure it on my head. I love that I could dress them up. They are perfect for decorating." — Tia Denese WynaldaReviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.
