Types of Halloween decorations

  • Halloween animatronics create a particularly immersive experience. From talking skeletons to groaning zombies, they typically emit sounds and other creepy effects. Some are motion-activated and trigger a jump-scare effect, but these are typically the pricier options.
  • Larger-than-life Halloween decorations generally stand more than 4 feet tall. They’re ideal for large lawn displays and Halloween parties — provided you have the room for them — but tend to be pricier.
  • Halloween wall decorations such as ghostly portraits and bat decals can liven up interior and exterior spaces.
  • Hanging Halloween decorations, including skeletons and spider webs, can give you more space for floor displays and make you feel surrounded by spookiness.
  • Halloween yard decorations such as signs and inflatables can transform your lawn for the spooky season.
  • Miniature Halloween props are great for decorating food and snack tables, fireplace mantels and more.
