This top-rated glowing skull stack stands 8 feet tall and can even be unstacked horizontally if you have the space. The stacking mechanism itself has a metal framework that is sturdy enough to withstand subtle weather changes, and the flowing LED lights even function on a timer for a hands-off approach.





Create a witch lair in your outdoor space with this set of light-up hats. You can hang them across your front porch and they're even waterproof so they can withstand most weather conditions, according to the brand. There are eight light modes available to customize, and a built-in timer so they'll automatically shut off come morning.



These three battery-powered witches will add a dark and ghostly glow to your garden. They are super lightweight and come with included batteries, saving you the hassle of purchasing them yourself.





If you want something much creepier choose this eerie clown animatronic. This clown figurine moves side to side, actively searching for his next victim while speaking spooky dialogue like "I'm starting a new juggling act. I'll need a hand from one of you. And a head, and a foot - oh any part will do hahahaha!"



This realistic spider webbing can be paired with stick-on spiders or tiny fake spiders for the full effect. It's incredibly stretchy and able to cover 900 square feet in total according to the brand. Set up is easy too, just cut the holes and and then tack it up - great for both indoor and outdoor decor.



Another easy-to-install option, this bendable tree decoration has adjustable metal arms that you can use to wrap around a tree or your porch. The ghost itself is made from a polyester cloth which the brand says should withstand winds and rain. Buy one or stock up on a few to revamp your backyard.





This top-rated skeleton figure stands 12 feet tall and has a pumpkin for a head. It comes with glowing LED lights for the eyes and even comes with bright LED lights for the chest area. It does require assembly though, so keep aside 30 minutes to an hour to set it up in your lawn.



This caution tape is an easy way to decorate both indoors and outdoors. Just wrap it around your trees or any lights or poles you have in your backyard or front porch to make it spook onlookers and pedestrians with the "do not enter" print.
