These Rae Dunn Halloween Tea Light Holders Are All We Can Think About Right Now
We're big on Halloween here at Good Housekeeping. That means, once October hits — okay, okay, September — we're already thinking about how to decorate our homes for the season. Obviously, we never skimp on spooky outdoor Halloween decorations, yet we also pay attention to inside our homes, making sure there are plenty of easy DIY decor and crafts to help keep things fun indoors. But that's not all. We know that true ghostly ambiance cannot be created unless you have an amazing Halloween candle (or 5!) emitting your favorite fall scent.
Luckily, there is no shortage of Halloween-themed candles from your favorite brands like Bath & Body Works and Yankee Candle. But there are also a ton of great options from Etsy shops that are completely unique (and customizable). There are even LED candles, so you can have all the fun without the scares of a real flame. If you're looking for all the tricks and treats, we've also got plenty of pop culture-themed flickers that will wow any Hocus Pocus fanatic or scary movie fan.
But beware: Not everything on this list is specifically frightening. Some of the options here just fall under the best scented candles of all time and we had to include them.

2) Ghost Cemetery
Village Candle

$19.95
The large glass apothecary has a cookie dough scent, according to most Amazon reviewers. Because there are two wixs here, you can just light one if you think the aroma is too strong, or go for both if you can't get enough.
