When it comes to Halloween decorations, there are typically two aesthetics: those comprised of blood, guts and gore and those that are stylish-yet-subtly spooky. We tend to gravitate toward the latter (faux severed limbs aren't *exactly* our thing), but thanks to Amazon, you don't have to choose: the mega-retailer has 'em both. Better yet? Most of them are heavily discounted right now.
After scouring hundreds (literally) of items on the site, we found 32 of the best Amazon Halloween decorations the website has to offer, paying close attention to each one's reviews, durability, price and style. We discovered cackling witchcore finds ($44), floating candles ($21) and unique vintage Halloween pieces; plus creepy skeletons ($30) and haunting paintings ($10) abound.
Oh, and don't worry about your orders not getting to you in time—with Prime two-day shipping available on many of the items, they'll be haunting your doorstep—and putting your neighbor's setup to shame—before you know it.

How We Chose the Best Amazon Halloween Decorations
While selecting items from our list, we considered the latest Halloween decorating trends that our home editors have identified for 2023, including witchcore, luxury pumpkins and floating candles. We also looked for items that had good ratings, were unique, festive and reusable. Last but not least, we considered pricing and affordability when narrowing it down to the cream of the crop.

1. Miulee Plaid Pillow Cover Set
You don't have to be Suzy Homemaker to get into the Halloween spirit—these covers make it as easy as zipping them over a few pillow inserts. Better yet, they'll be a breeze to care for, since you can throw them right into the wash. The polyester fabric will be nice and tough (no one-season wonders here!) and they come in four different sizes to best suit your couch, chair or wherever you decide to throw them. Keep in mind that you will need to buy your inserts separately, however, since these just comes with two cases. And hey, if they go with your color scheme, you can use them all year-round.
2. Sakayo Spider Tealights
These arachnids are just the ticket to sufficiently creeping out your guests come Oct. 31. At just 3 inches wide each, each of the flameless spider candles, which come six to a pack, can easily fit next to your candy bowl. We also love the melted wax shape of the LED candles, which lend to their spooky factor. As an added bonus, the batteries you'll need to power them come included and can easily be replaced for prolonged use.
3. Skrantun Pumpkin Wreath
You welcome guests to your home with a festive wreath come Christmastime, so why not at Halloween, too? With an 18-inch diameter, this glittery pumpkin is our pick since it will fit nicely on the door but can also be used on the dining room table (think centerpiece candle holder). Weighing just over 1 pound, it's reportedly easy to bend its branches as needed, and Amazon buyers say it comes at a good value for the money.
4. Mosoan Halloween String Lights
Come nighttime, you can illuminate the ghouls and goblins that darken your doorstep with these bat, ghost and pumpkin string lights. The strand measures 20 feet long, so you'll be able to cover plenty of ground, and they can be used both indoors and outdoors since they're waterproof. The lights can also be set on a timer so you're not wasting energy. There are eight different light modes and they even come with a remote control. Be sure to pick up a pack of AA batteries ($13), which are not included.
5. Joyin Groundbreaker Skeleton
Visitors will be doing a double-take at this skeleton who appears to be rising from the grave that is your front yard. It comes with attached stakes to stick its five pieces (you get a head, two arms and two legs with the set) into the ground. Shoppers do note that the stakes are delicate and somewhat loose, however, so be careful when installing them. Once you get them situated, you can position the skeleton's plastic limbs any way you like, since its parts are adjustable. They're also weather-resistant to withstand a little rain, sleet or snow should Mother Nature have a Halloween freakout of her own.
6. Fun Little Toys Spiderweb Mantle Decoration
Normally, you'd want your mantlepiece free of cobwebs, but around Halloween, they make for the perfect spooky touch. This lacy imposter is 96 inches long, so depending on the length of your fireplace, it should drape just so over each side. (It will work just as well wound around a stair railing or laid across a table). It also comes with 8 feet of warm white LED lights that will illuminate the intricate fabric and give your room a bit of added holiday ambience.
7. Oriental Cherry Broom Parking Sign
Welcome your fellow witches inside with this fun "broom parking" sign that can easily be hung on your porch or mounted on a wall. We particuarly like the fact that bristles are made with real wood to give them a more authentic look. Though you'll need to put some elbow grease into a few of the sign's parts to get it assembled, it comes with everything you'll need to do it. And, should you get stuck, several reviewers noted that they called upon Gorilla Glue (others say it took mere minutes to tackle with no issues).
8. Artoid Mode Trick or Treat Doormat
If subtlety is your vibe, this simple doormat, which features classic black and orange Halloween colors without being garrish, will get you in the holiday spirit without going overboard. Made with fade-resistant polyester and a non-slip rubber backing, it's designed for durability, meaning you can place it indoors for a festive look or outside on a covered porch. (Might we suggest a pumpkin on either side?). Amazon shoppers claim it's also a cinch to clean, which is great news if you're expecting lots of little trick-or-treating feet.
9. Whaline Bat and Ghost Ceramic Dishes
Keep some candy for yourself (and maybe to share with guests) in these adorable little ghost and bat candy dishes that come together as a set. While they're on the smaller side, they'll hold just enough to satiate a sweet tooth. Their durable, dishwasher-safe ceramic makes them easily washable, too. That said, multiple reviewers noted that the paint job on these could be better, so these may not be for you if you're a stickler for detail.
10. Joyin Skull Lights
Lead candy hunters to their prize with these spine-chilling skull lights for your walkway. They can easily be mounted into the ground with their included stakes and light up with just a couple AA batteries (note that they're not included). We also love that they have a timer function that will help you conserve their juice. Though they come in a set of three, shoppers say they are on the smaller side, so you may want to buy more than one pack to line your sidewalk in full.
11. Nomnu Coffin Letter Board
Ripe for writing a daily warning or fun ghostly joke each day, this coffin-shaped letter board set will allow you to make your own ominous Halloween countdown. The board comes with more than 500 characters and more than 80 Halloween-themed emojis, so you can really get creative—just note you'll have to hand-cut each one yourself. A stand is also included, so you can conveniently display this board anywhere you wish, and buyers say it feels high-quality.
12. Wokeise Pumpkin Tree
Shoppers say this unique little pumpkin tree is slim enough to fit in any corner that needs a little extra seasonal sprucing. The shiny metallic tinsel is sure to catch the eye, and you can even easily add on more ornaments if things aren't feeling festive enough. The best part, however, is that it comes complete with a 5 foot-long set of string lights that can be set to flashing, steady on or off, so you won't have to stress over finding a strand. The stand also collapses for easy storage.
13. Zpisf Super Stretch Cobwebs
Your house will be the spookiest in town thanks to these super stretchy cobwebs that can reportedly cover up to 900 square feet with just one pack. They also give you 30 fake spiders to up the scare factor. While we'd pay $10 for a single year of use, you'll get even more value out of them, considering that they can be taken down and stored for use next year. We highly recommend using this webbing indoors, however, as it can be dangerous to local wildlife when used outside.
14. Erpotyl 'Hocus Pocus' Pillow Covers
Who does't love a little Hocus Pocus? These themed pillow cases are relatively neutral, so they'll go with your usual setup, and they can easily be taken off for cleaning thanks to the hidden zip closure. Just note that reviewers say the linen fabric can be a bit delicate, so be sure to place them over your pillow inserts carefully. Though you can toss them in the wash, according to the company, we'd probably also hand-wash them if you're looking to make them last.
15. S-Deal Witch Artificial Flowers
This cheeky little decoration will liven up your Halloween tablescape with its upside-down witch legs and pops of bright orange. The vase is included, so there's zero legwork required on your end (just the way we like it), and it's not super heavy, either. Pro tip? This one's better left inside, where it won't get blown over.
16. Dinesil Posable Skeleton
Reviewers are loving these skeletons for all of the fun ways they can be placed around the house. Standing 3 feet tall, they can guard the porch, be leaned against the wall or even hung up on the door in lieu of a traditional wreath—the possibilities are endless. Each skeleton's joints also move, so you can position this baby any which way you choose.
17. Gute Skull Planter
Even your plants can be spookified with this wickedly beautiful bronze planter. Cast with 3D flowers, it has an open top that's perfect for planting succulents, but it can also be used as a candy dish for your kids' leftover scores. Buyers say it's sturdy, so you'll have no problems using it over and over again, and the drainage hole on certain models means you can put it outside if you love a gothic vibe year-round.
18. GoodGram Plush Throw Blanket
If you’re planning to spend this Halloween curled up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn watching scary movies, a cozy and comfortable blanket will be your best friend. And this one is not only made of a light, ultra-soft fleece, it’s Halloween-themed. If you ask us, the pumpkin or bat prints are the obvious choices for a Practical Magic rewatch and a few fun-sized chocolates—just note that this blanket can shed, so maybe not on the good couch.
19. Raycare Floating LED Candles
Dressing up as Harry Potter or Hermione? You'll need a bit of magic, and that's exactly what this set of 24 LED candles will provide when hanging overhead. Shoppers say that while this set can be tough to hang (you'll also have to find your own fishing wire with which to do it), the batteries last inside each one for a good long while. The bad news? Each tapered candle requires two of the aforementioned AA batteries, none of which are included. The good news? These glow sticks will last you far longer than a single season, making the juice worth the squeeze.
20. Sunreek Halloween Windsocks
Kids will love these smiling ghost, witch and pumpkin windsock figures that can be hung throughout the house or yard to create some festive fun—even for the littlest members of your bunch. They're not hard to set up, either, according to shoppers, who say they hold up well outdoors, too.
21. Hollo Star Animated Ghost
Your doorstep will be the scariest stop on the trick-or-treat trail thanks to this animated ghost. Using sound motion detection to engage its light and sound features, which work with three AAA batteries ($18), visitors will hear a frightful sound and see flashing lights when they approach. This ghoul is also super lightweight, per shoppers, so it should be easy enough to lift and arrange in the most spooktacular spot. Though it's advertised for indoor or outdoor use, it might be better suited for a covered porch due to its wiring. Amazon buyers say the motion detection can also be a bit tricky to trigger, but all in all, it gives guests a good fright.
22. Arkeny Halloween Table Runner
This ghostly table topper will make for the perfect backdrop to your creepiest-looking treats and spookiest servingware. Made of a durable polyester fabric, it's one you'll likely use for years to come, though the company does recommend pairing it with a heat-proof mat to protect your furniture. This little runner is selling out fast with some sizes already gone, so we highly recommend throwing it into your cart because it *vanishes* in plain sight.
23. Dazonge Hand Sculptures
Set the stage for terror with this set of three claw-like statues that will sufficiently creep out anyone who wanders your halls. The hanging kit (double-sided tape, screws, drywall anchors and instructions) come included, and shoppers say the hands themselves are actually life-size. A pro tip? Add a few flameless tealight candles, $12, to really up the ambience.
24. Denlix Glass Pumpkin
This sweet little table topper will look great day or night, since it has little twinkling lights inside. It also has a six-hour timer function, so you won't be burning through the batteries while you sleep. (Note that you will have to buy its three AAAs separately.) You can adjust its metal leafs (be careful—the brand says they're sharp)—and it comes in gold or rose gold. We say, why not one of each?
25. Boxiwizard Glowing Crystal Ball
Channel your inner psychic with this stunning crystal ball that will be the talk of your haunted house setup. It illuminates the room in a glow of varying colors and it's said to be quite sturdy. While some Amazon customers reported a shortage that prevented this ball from lighting up the way that it's supposed to, it's eligible for a return within 30 days of purchase, making it a non-issue.
26. BBTO Moving Portrait Paintings
Anyone who's ever been to the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World knows the power of a good photo wall. This pack of three poster-style photos will transform from normal portraits to macabre ones before your eyes, depending on the angle you're viewing them from. If you've got a large wall to cover, you'll want to purchase a few, as some shoppers noted that they were on the smaller side. The frames are also printed, so if you want to protect these pictures with a 3D version, you'll need to buy it separately (though shoppers say they withstand water and oil just fine on their own).
27. Screaming Witch Figures
With these witchy figures on the lawn, you'll have your very own coven. Equally spooky in daytime or under a full moon, they feature lit-up orbs for faces and also make tortured sounds. They're covered in waterproof fabric to withstand rain, and the AAA batteries they run on are replaceable. (Each witch requires three.)
28. Floerve Curly Willow Branches
Forget flowers—make like Wednesday Addams decorating her dorm room with this lovely "decaying" set of branches. You'll have to unwind them yourselves (they arrive as two "tightly wound bundles of vines"), but shoppers say you'll be glad you did. (It should take you roughly 20 minutes or so.) They're also technically dark brown, so with a little fall floral action, they can easily carry you the rest of the way through autumn.
29. 'Hocus Pocus' Book of Spells
Any fan of the 1993 film or its 2022 sequel will recognize Winifred Sanderson's book in this authentic-looking replica. Short of having an *actually* roving eye, its just like the real deal, right down to its leather scent. Amazon buyers say the craftsmanship is legit, with killer stitching detail and pages that you can actually write on. Our one word of warning? Don't get it wet—a few customers noted that it can stain your other belongings. We can practically hear Winnie calling now...
30. Eldnacele Flickering Candles
Amazon shoppers say this three-piece candle set depicting various Halloween decals has a very realistic faux flicker, and it should—its candles are all made from real wax. It also boasts a remote control to turn its battery-powered LED lights on and off. Take heed, however, as the candles can melt if they're left on too long, so it may be best to run them for shorter periods. (Luckily, they have a six-hour timer to help you do just that—genius.)
31. Vicetion Witches' Cauldron
Brew your next portion (or at least pretend to) in this mini cauldron that comes complete with a set of green string lights to really amp up the ambiance. The plastic and metal build means its suitable to set up outside and we like that the top is open, too—all the better for storing extra candy.
32. Akerock Ceramic Pumpkins
If you're seeking out a ceramic pumpkin, you're probably either a) looking to get in on the vintage Halloween decor trend or b) a huge Mackenzie-Childs fan. Either way, this charming little black-and-white set is sure to strike your fancy. Complete with six miniature pumpkins with gold stems, this collection rivals the upscale brand's whimsical wares for a fraction of the price, and shoppers say you'd never know the difference. Each pumpkin looks far pricier than its collective $20 price tag, and Amazon buyers claim the paint job is ace. You can also get the real deal ($65) from Mackenzie-Childs, which, while pricey, will spruce up your home for years to come.
