We spent dozens of hours scouring the internet and testing our favorite products to separate the best from the rest. We’ll help you find anything from creepy decorations, such as an animatronic clown to scare the pants off trick-or-treaters, to stunning accessories, such as pumpkin-shaped stud earrings, that are perfect for gifting. 

You’ll also need a good costume, and we found plenty for all ages as well as fun options for groups and couples. Our roundup of our 100 favorite products also includes toys to keep the kiddos entertained when they’re hyped up on sugar from Halloween candy as well as other products worth investing in for this Halloween and future ones to come.

We’re obsessed with West Elm’s new Halloween Collection and these molded skull candles — available in black or white — are at the top of our list. Whether you want to add them to your entryway, kitchen or living room, the candles will make your space moodier and a little sinister this Halloween. 

MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check Gold Foliage Pumpkin

For those looking for a statement piece that’s sure to turn heads, we can’t recommend this resin pumpkin from MacKenzie-Childs enough. Standing about a foot tall, the hand-painted pumpkin flaunts a lovely modern checkered pattern alongside a golden stem and leaves that cascade down its sides.

For the whimsical, consider shopping the “Capiz Spider” from MacKenzie-Childs. This spooky home accent, which stands nearly 6 inches tall, is hand-painted and sure to put a smile on anybody’s face.

Chances are you have a wreath for Christmas and maybe even one for spring, so you have no excuse not to own an autumn wreath. GrandinRoad makes some of the most elegant ones you can buy. We love this Halloween pumpkin wreath that features realistic-looking pumpkins that pop against black seed pods and fall foliage.

This skull-shaped indoor and outdoor mat is the perfect way to welcome visitors during scary season. It’s made from durable polypropylene so it can withstand the elements and is even UV-treated to resist fading from the sun.

Twinkle Star LED String Lights

We checked out Twinkle Star’s LED lights and found they stretch your dollar further than other lights thanks to their durability, brightness, and ease of use. Safe to use outdoors, they measure 98.5 feet long, so they can cover a wide area. The purple hue nicely complements other Halloween decorations, but this set is also available in orange, white, blue, and multicolor.

This creepy animatronic clown isn’t for the faint of heart. When we tried this scary clown out at home, we couldn’t believe how creepy it was. When it senses motion, Harry the clown’s eyes glow red, and he lurches forward in a grabbing motion. Even more terrifying? He menacingly questions, "Did I scare you?”
