The Home Depot's Viral 12-Foot Skeletons Are Back, Along with a Ton of Spooky Halloween Decor
1. Hyde & EEK! Reversible Spider Throw Pillow
The only thing better than a Halloween-themed throw pillow is a reversible Halloween pillow. That way you get double the fun. One side of this pillow features a spooky spider against a luxe green velvet backdrop. The other is a more subtle spiderweb pattern that feels more demure (not to mention cutesy and mindful), depending on your mood. Oh, and did I mention that the pillow is included?
2. Threshold Snake Halloween Candelabra
Intertwined snakes in an aluminum gold finish coil around each other to form this slithery candelabra. (I think it’s eclectic enough to blend with the rest of your décor.) It holds three standard taper candles, one in each snake’s mouth—and the inside includes spikes to keep them in place. It’s also heavier than it looks, according to reviewers, so it won’t easily tip over.
3. Hyde & EEK! Posable Pumpkin Skeleton
The one outdoor accessory reviewers say you need (and that’s sure to sell out well before October 31st)? This posable pumpkin skeleton. Not only is it finished in the perfect shade of pumpkin orange, but it features completely adjustable arms and legs that you can arrange in an infinite number of ways. It can also be used indoors or out—and the life-like, 60-inch build is sure to make an impact with trick-or-treaters.
4. Threshold Medium Ceramic Pumpkin
With a distressed black finish and custom-etched details, reviewers say this ceramic pumpkin looks way more expensive than it is. And aside from its festively high-end design, they also love it because it matches their other spooky decor and is the perfect mantle or centerpiece. It adds a sophisticated touch to your decor, if your taste skews more enchanted than gory.
5. Hyde & EEK! French Bulldog Skeleton
Built with realistic bone details, this spooky play on a Frenchie features an ivory skeleton base that’s equal parts cute and creepy. The head can also be turned and tilted to look out the window—and while it’s suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the petite 11-inch size makes it the perfect prop for a dining table or entryway.
6. Hyde & EEK! Twig Tree with Pot
Here, an edgy floral arrangement for anyone who’s looking to add some *drama* to a front door or entryway. The black faux branches are adorned with twigs for a realistic touch, and it even comes in a ceramic pot. There's a certain dark acadamia appeal to the gnarled branches and detailed pot that make it seem right at home at Wednesday's Nevermore Academy—or your front stoop.
7. Plow & Hearth Pumpkin Vine Arms and Legs Set
I'm not sure if this will draw the trick-or-treaters in or send them running for the hills, but there’s only one way to find out. The four-piece set features two arms and two legs, each with prongs for easy attachment to real or faux pumpkins. Plus, the malleable wire frame allows you to bend at the knuckles, wrists and knees, so you can arrange your pumpkin in all kinds of positions.
8. Ukonic Hocus Pocus Cauldron Candle
Often, when it comes to Halloween decor, everyone tends to think of the big, show-stopping displays (like a 12-foot-tall animatronic skeleton). But the magic of creating an immersive experience is really in the details, like adding a cauldron-themed candle to your coffee table or mantle. Not only does it add to the overall witchy vibe, the candle infuses a space with the scent of black vanilla and amber with notes of spiced ginger and fennel. Trust me, it will "put a spell on you." The soy wax base offers approximately 25 hours of burn time—just be sure a virgin doesn't light it.
9. Hyde & EEK! Pumpkin Door Knocker
The best prop for trick-or-treaters on this list? A jack-o-lantern doorbell that comes to life. It's super easy to hang on your front door, and when you ring it, it lights up and emits a range of spooky sounds, from a cat screeching to a creepy laugh.
While it's designed for outdoor use, the brand clarifies that it's "sheltered" use, so it will likely last longest if hung under an awning or behind a glass or screen door to protect it a bit from the elements.
10. Hyde & EEK! Spooky Fabric Prop
Here, a versatile cloth prop that creates an instantly creepy vibe. Its mesh fabric is lightweight, making it effortlessly manageable and moldable, and it’s soft to the touch (unlike cheaper options from big box stores). It can also be used outside, so it’s perfect for covering doors, windows, trees and stairways—and its nine-foot width is guaranteed to cover your entire mantle.
11. Hyde & EEK! Crashing Witch Prop
Ah, the classic witch-running-into-a-wall (or door or tree) decoration. It never fails to bring a smile, and this one's very reasonably priced at $15. You can use the prop indoors or out, and she’s super easy to tie around a tree, thanks to the straps on her arms, legs and head. Plus, many reviewers rave over its durability, where some people have noted that it lasts for years—even through rainstorms and super windy nights.
12. Hyde & EEK! Plush Spider
This plush spider is adorned with sparkly eyes and large spiny legs that can be moved in any position—all atop a 50-inch frame that’s hard to miss. The bold color scheme and playful details, including hair accents and iridescent eyes, can be showcased indoors or out (but I recommend putting this guy on front-door display to make all your neighbors jealous).
13. Hyde & EEK! Lewis The Pumpkin Ghoul
Lewis stole the hearts of many millennials on social media last year with his charming catchphrase, "I am not a jack-o'-lantern. My name is Lewis." And you can still bring this not-so-scary pumpkin ghoul to your own yard. Towering at 8 feet tall, he can greet trick-or-treaters with one of his many other sayings. Plus, he has a 6-hours-on, 18-hours-off timer to preserve energy.
14. Threshold Cosmos and Grass Halloween Wreath
A festive door hanging is the perfect way to welcome in spooky season. The bottom half of this wreath features dark red cosmos and black grass to add a touch of festivity without being too cheeky. It's best for indoor use, and you'll need to either hang it on a door rack or tie it up with string to dangle it.
15. Hyde & EEK! Skull Candy Bowl
This bright green candy bowl screams brat Halloween—literally. It lights up and makes makes spooky sounds when activated by noises, stopping every trick-or-treater in their tracks. The 8-inch bowl holds a decent amount of candy, so you can fill it with your favorites to snack on leading up to October 31st.
