- Halloween. Spirit Halloween: Opening, hours and how to find the nearest store
- Halloween. Goodbye to traditional costumes: This is the theme that will set the trend for Halloween 2024
Given that Halloween is almost upon us, we hope that you have your costumes and decorations figured out and ready to go for the annual holiday which will take place on Thursday, October 31.
However, if you haven't figured out any Halloween decorations yet, then don't worry.
Perhaps you will lift these ideas directly, or they will give you some inspiration, but from spiders to ghouls and beyond we have you covered.
So, without further ado, here are five easily order-able and affordable Halloween decorations for you to get delivered just in time to look like the cool neighbor this year.
Realistic 63-inch hairy spiders
Spiders are a common fear and thus, ever reliable as Halloween decorations to get some scares out of guests and ersby.
At approximately 5.2ft fully extended (the height of an average American woman), these spiders on Amazon are very large decorations and they can be made to look even larger in smaller spaces
LED ghosts for your yard
Ghosts are always great for Halloween and this trio of white fiends are rather friendly-looking, compared to most Halloween decorations, making your house more welcoming for those who are trick and treating and might be quite nervous.
Available on Oriental Trading, they're great decorations for the front of your home and all you have to do is drive them into the ground, put in AA batteries and job done.
The horror clown Halloween doormat
Themed on Pennywise the clown from the 2017 adaption of Stephen King's 'IT', give your guests a truly horrifying welcome when they glance down to clean their shoes as they step into your home and see the child-eating alien staring back at them.
If you especially know that someone hates clowns, buying this doormat from MUBYS would be an evil thing to do but it could also be so funny.
Garage door bat magnets for Halloween decorations
With your garage doors likely facing on to the street, these stickers are an excellent addition to cover up any blank space that makes the house look a little naked.
Available as a pack on Amazon, you'll get many different bats that can stick to metal surfaces and can also be used inside the home to decorate your fridges if you're hosting a party or get-together.
Jurassic Park Halloween decorations
One household brought Isla Nublar to their own doorstep by building the famous entrance to Jurassic Park in their driveway.
This is quite an effort to reproduce, but it's a great way of honoring Steven Spielberg's timeless classic as it reached over 30 years.
It's perhaps too much to do this close to Halloween, but there may be other blockbusters that you can build driveway Halloween decorations around.
