Spooky Porch and Yard Decor

Glowing ghosts, a floating Grim Reaper, and enough spider web to make the mail carrier nervous. The stuff that makes folks slow down when they drive by.

Two glowing ghosts in witch hats, a remote so you don't have to go outside in your house shoes, and they look adorable on a porch or by the fireplace. These are the ones everybody's buying this year, and I get it.

Seven feet of floating Grim Reaper for about eleven bucks. Hang him from a tree or the porch rafters and watch the trick-or-treaters walk real fast. Walmart's own Halloween brand.

The cheapest way to make your whole porch look haunted. Stretch it thin (thinner than you think, trust me) and it covers a ton. Tuck in the little spiders and you're done before your Dr. Pepper gets warm.

Cute-Spooky Home Decor

Spooky, but make it cute. Bats on the wall, ghosts on the shelf, and a skeleton in the bathroom (on the door, relax). Easy pieces that keep the house looking grown-up, not like a pop-up Halloween store.

A whole flock of 100 little bats. Swoop 'em up a wall, over the mantel, or around the TV. Peel-and-stick, no holes, and they come right off in November.

This little ghost has opinions, and honey, I relate. Cute from across the room, sassy up close. Set it on a shelf and see who notices. Small ghost, whole mood.

A skeleton reading the paper on the toilet. On your bathroom door. It's the funniest thing your guests will see all October, and I'm not about to argue.

This is the one that looks like it came from a fancy boutique, and it's under ten dollars at Walmart. That warm terracotta color goes with fall decor too, so it can stay out till Thanksgiving. Grab two.
Terracotta Paper Mache Ghost

Matches the terracotta ghost above, so buy them as a pair and look like you hired a decorator. Ceramic, not flimsy plastic, and around eleven bucks. Cute on the porch steps, the kitchen counter, or a tiered tray.

Trick-or-Treat Candy Bowls and Pails

Something to put the candy in, from a fancy bowl that comes out every year to the classic pumpkin pail for the little goblins.

The grown-up candy bowl. It's Lenox, it looks like Grandma's vintage blow-mold pumpkin got fancy, and it comes out every year instead of getting tossed with the plastic stuff. Also makes a cute hostess gift.

For when you'd rather sit inside with the porch light on and let the candy hand itself out. A pair of striped witch legs holding up the bowl, right on the porch. Kids love it. Your knees will love it more.

Halloween Costumes for Dogs and Cats

Costumes your dog or cat might tolerate for one picture, plus a cat toy that's scarier than they are. The pets are the real stars of Halloween anyway.

Your dog, but with a tiny cowboy riding on his back. I've laughed at this costume more times than I'll admit. It goes on like a little vest, so no wrestling match. Yee-haw.
