Peanuts Outdoors Halloween Doormat
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is always on my Halloween movie watch list. This Peanuts doormat is an easy and not-too-scary way to add a touch of Halloween to your doorway.
The multi-functional decor piece has sturdy fibers made from coconut husks, which prevent visitors from tracking in debris and keeps your entryway clean. It has a non-slip pad, so it will stay in place no matter how many trick-or-treaters come to your door.
Goosh Inflatable Ghost
This 4-foot Goosh Inflatable Ghost is a fun outdoor addition that’s visible day and night thanks to LED lights. It’s waterproof and includes stakes to keep it firmly in your yard when the wind picks up. The inflatable also packs into a storage bag when it’s ready to come down, taking up little space wherever you store it.
“The quality is great. It can hold up in any rain or storm,” one shopper wrote. Others love that it’s “kid friendly” and “easy to set up.”
Zpisf Spider Webs with Fake Spiders
If you have bushes or trees in your yard, a spider web Halloween display is the way to go. For just $8, this set from Amazon comes with 900 square feet of spider webs and 30 fake spiders to arrange throughout. They stretch to string along any size porch or cover any bush, and shoppers say the effect is “utterly realistic.”
More than 5,000 shoppers have scooped up this set in the past month in preparation for Halloween. One reviewer dubbed the product “the best webbing I've ever purchased,” while another person added that it is “easy to work with.”
Haunted Living 3-Foot Hanging Skeleton
This 3-foot Hanging Skeleton is for those leaning into the scarier side with their Halloween decorations. Users can adjust the skeleton however they like, whether you plan to have it sitting on your porch or propped up in the yard. Plus, it comes pre-assembled so you don’t have to be an anatomy wiz to set it up. Shoppers say it’s “truly life-like” and “the perfect size” for decorating.
