If you’re a Disney fan, you know it’s a way of life. Whether you’re the friend who spontaneously breaks into renditions of “I’ll Make A Man Out of You,” is renowned for choosing their kid’s stroller based on which ones are Disney-approved, or has perfected a DIY version of the beloved Dole Whip dessert, it’s a full-time commitment. Halloween is no different, and there are tons of spooktacular decorations you can add to your home to let your Disney flag fly.

These Scary-Good Halloween Decorations Have Me Under Their Spell


Folks with busy schedules or parents in need of a toddler-friendly activity: Enjoy the ease of this pumpkin decorating kit. All you have to do is find a pumpkin, paint it blue, insert the Cinderella pins and bibbidi, bobbidi, boo! You’ve got a beautiful decoration that will last well past midnight.

You can’t do Disney without Mickey. Give a gentle nod to the mouse that started it all with this charming pumpkin. Add a flameless candle or string lights to make him glow. Also, if you’re not a fan of scooping out pumpkin guts, enjoy that unlike homegrown pumpkins, you can reuse this timeless decoration year after year—no carving required.

Real ones know that Jack Skellington isn’t the main character in The Nightmare Before Christmas. He plays a superb supporting role to the true star: Zero. Zero saves the day with his nose, after all, and is about as iconic as they come. Not only is this pillow a tribute to the unsung hero hound of Halloween Town, but it’s extra fluffy and has a cheeky jack o’ lantern nose.

The key to a good door mat is solid messaging. In the space of 20 by 34 inches, you have the opportunity to tell your guests about your interests, your vibe,and what they can expect when they cross your threshold. One look at this Jack and Sally masterpiece says it all: This is Halloween. (And you’ve come to the right place for the good treats.)

OK, now that I’ve warmed you up with spooky-cute decor, it’s time to get to the hard stuff. If you prefer scary to spooky but still want to keep it in the Disney theme, look no further than this framed painting inspired by The Haunted Mansion. I’ll be honest, if I had to walk past this on my way to the bathroom at night, I might pick up the pace.

This Beetlejuice-themed snow globe would make an ideal edition to any mantle, bookshelf or coffee table. I’m a big fan of interactive decor—I mean, how could anyone resist the opportunity to admire a sandworm up close while giving this globe a big shake?

Break out this bowl for sleepovers, movie nights or for trick-or-treating. It’s spacious enough for snacks like popcorn and puppy chow, but don’t let that limit your imagination. It also makes a fabulous serving dish for potlucks or kid-friendly dinner parties. Ladle in delicious dips, pasta, meatballs or even soups.

Remember these ghoulish walkie talkies from Halloweentown (arguably one of the best Halloween movies for kids, ever)? The walkies may represent one of the worst puns ever made on television, but they’re an absolutely fabulous piece of decor that’s a little less mainstream. Sadly, they don’t function as real walkie talkies, but that’s how it goes for us mere mortals sometimes. Oh—and might I suggest making it a rule that guests who can accurately identify your “head phones” should be rewarded with extra Halloween candy? Just saying.

This light-up wreath is 100 percent haunted house fun. The iconic Haunted Mansion catchphrase says “welcome,” but the tone says, “run while you still can!” Look a little closer and you’ll spy the three ghost hitchhikers still trying to catch a ride.

Poor Billy. Winifred did him so dirty in Hocus Pocus. That’s why I’ll be hanging his head where everyone can see him this fall. The prop doesn’t talk (womp womp), but I can’t help but be tickled by the glorious wig, which totally nails Billy’s unruly mop.

Did I scream a little when I saw these? Maybe. One of my favorite scenes from TNBC is when Sally cooks up that horrific worm’s wart and frog’s breath soup. Now, these beauties can take up residence in your kitchen, too. If it were me, I’d absolutely use these to store spices or sprinkles for baking. However, I’d never knock points off for other crafty ways of displaying them. They’d make adorable flowerpots and trinket holders in any room of the house.

I think we can all appreciate home decor that is as fashionable as it is functional. This Haunted Mansion-themed gargoyle statue doubles as a candle holder. Place it on your front porch, on a mantel or even as a centerpiece on your dining table.

*Uses infomercial voice* Stop googling how many days are left until Halloween. Count it yourself, with The Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween Town countdown clock! For real though, how cool is this clock? And even better, you can leave it out year-round. The clock has interchangeable pieces that let you countdown to Halloween or Christmas, plus it lights up (a feature I never grow tired of).

Idea for a prank: Leave this box at a Beetlejuice fan’s house and make them think they’re dead. Or if that feels extreme, enjoy it as cheeky little decoration you can lay out on your coffee table or use it as a cute Halloween-inspired gift box. While it looks like a real book, it’s a great place to store Halloween treats.

Forget the typical zombie arm breaking through the ground. This multi-piece prop makes it look like a massive sandworm is bursting through your lawn, ready to gobble up trick-or-treaters. That being said, it’s still cute enough to not fully terrify visitors and makes a fantastic photo opp. If you want your home to be *the house* that trick-or-treaters need to visit, grab this prop ASAP.

And now, I’m ending this list with a tribute to our Hocus Pocus queen and HBIC, Winnie Sanders. You can’t go wrong with a nod to possibly the most iconic Disney Halloween movie of all time. (Disney fans, I’m sure you’re ready to debate me on this and it’s why I love you.) The prop can be hung indoors or outdoors, plus you’ll appreciate that it’s budget-friendly. That means more money for your next trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, right?
