I love Halloween decor, but I get tired of the same old pumpkins and ghosts everyone else has. Instead, I’m always looking for cool new trends to give my home an extra edge for the holiday. But I’m also a mom on a budget, so shopping for the best Halloween decor on Amazon just makes financial sense.

Head Straight to Amazon’s Halloween Shop

Whether you’re planning to go all out or you just want a few items to add a seasonal touch to your home, I found plenty of indoor and outdoor options to choose from. Below you’ll find inflatables, floating candles, and skull and eyeball lights to help lure in all the trick-or-treaters this Halloween. I even included some viral items, like these cement skulls that can sit in your fire pit and take the heat. Best of all, lots of these Amazon Halloween decorations cost under $25.

Your home is about to get the spookiest makeover of its life, thanks to this set of 12 ready-to-hang flickering LED candles. The remote-controlled candles are attached to strings, so they'll make magical decorations when hung from trees, archways, windows, or ceilings.

These LED string lights add a cozy orange glow to any space. Each string is 10 feet long and includes 20 twinkling jack-o’-lanterns. They require three AA batteries, but since you don’t need an outlet, they’re a great option to dress up your car for trunk or treat.

Everyone will have pumpkins and skeletons on their lawn, but you can set yourself apart with this fun alien inflatable. This one stands 9 feet tall and glows with an eerie blue-green light. The coolest part is that you can take out the cow and stand inside it, making for an unforgettable photo op.

As a LEGO collector, I’m always decorating my home with the brand’s seasonal sets. You can even decide on the placement of certain elements like the pumpkin, ghost, and spiderwebs, and there’s a string included to hang it on the door or wall.

For those who love crafting, this knitting kit is the perfect way to spend your Saturdays. It comes with everything you need to make five mini pumpkins, which can be used as a centerpiece or scattered around your home for autumnal vibes. They have two dozen different color and size options, so you can choose a set in your preferred color scheme.

This iconic Beetlejuice sandworm appears to slither its way through your yard thanks to three separate pieces. This nearly 7-foot-long worm comes with garden stakes to keep it in place, and they can be easily removed once the season is over and it’s time for it to return to the Netherworld.

These black and white inflatable pumpkins illuminate with multi-colored lights at night. They’re waterproof, and I love the idea of having them float in your pool during a party or as a way to add some instant whimsy to your porch. Best of all, they are weighted so they won’t blow away.

Neighbors will do a double take when they catch a glimpse of this zombie trying to break free from the earth. If you touch him, the animatronic comes to life and lights up as it moves and yells.

This sweet trio of witches glow to add some light to either your mantel or porch. They’re made of ceramic and light up with the flick of a switch, making them easy to pose together or separately without worrying about finding a nearby outlet.

Pink is another trend having a moment this holiday season. The softer hue adds a new element beyond the traditional orange and black look. This life-size skeleton is 5.5 feet tall and can be posed indoors or hung over a doorway outdoors.

Disney fans will instantly recognize this phrase that casually warns people that they’re in for a spooky treat ahead. This 30" x 17" will give any entryway instant Haunted Mansion vibes, and I’m tempted to get this and keep it out year-round.

This flickering LED candle set contains nine different pillars of varying heights you can cluster or spread out around your home. I particularly like that this set looks like the wax is actually melting, and that you can change the color of the flame with the included remote. Just note each candle requires an AA battery to work.

This textured pumpkin runner can take your table straight from Halloween to Thanksgiving, just by swapping out your centerpiece. It is 13" x 72", and comes in five different colors.

I’m seeing disco balls everywhere ahead of Halloween, and these eyeballs are a fun way to incorporate that shiny trend. Scatter this set of 16 different-size orbs around the house for a sparkly surprise. You could also get disco-style ghosts or pumpkins if you truly want to make the whole place shimmer.

No need to fiddle around with plugs and outlets to make your lawn stand out. This set of 32 glowing eyeballs is solar-powered and will automatically turn on after dark.

Odds are, you’ll look forward to your morning cup of joe even more if it’s sipped out of one of these jack o’ lantern mugs. Per the brand, these are dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

Lanternfish, or anglerfish, are arguably some of the most terrifying fish in the ocean. They lurk in the darkest depths and hunt their prey with a dangling light (if you’ve seen Finding Nemo, you know). This skeleton version has LED lights inside and can be placed in a dark spot for maximum creepiness.

One of my least favorite chores is hanging up lights, especially when you have to wrap them around trees or get on a ladder to go around window panes. But with these color-changing string lights, you can hang them once and make them orange for Halloween, then switch to red or green when Christmas rolls around.

Don’t leave the bathroom out of the decorating. You don’t need to go crazy (unless you want to), but a single hand towel can make a big impact. I like the ghost, but there are also bats and a pumpkin option.

For a gross-out moment, fill these "blood bags" with juice, gelatin, or any beverage you plan on offering. Guests will groan when sipping from their "IV drip bags" and may want to take them home to commemorate the day.
