6 Halloween Decor Releases We’re Definitely Shopping This Year

There’s also the viral floating candles, inspired by Harry Potter, that are all over TikTok. The flameless candles are hung with fishing line and the included “magic” wand switches them on and off.

“Pinkoween” and Retro-Inspired Pieces

Forget the traditional fall color palette, we’re celebrating “Pinkoween” this year. Imagine pink ghosts, pumpkins, skeletons and more. “Pinkoween appeals to those who love the holiday but prefer a more colorful, feminine or pastel vibe, rather than the usual dark and eerie tones,” says Amanda Nichols, trend and design expert at Michaels. “Our Hippie Hallow collection quickly went viral for breaking away from the classic orange and black palette and incorporating unexpected sunset hues and ’70s-inspired patterns and motifs.”

“You might not expect wicker bats, ceramic ghosts, florals and stripes to go well together, but when they’re all in shades of pink, it’s a match made in Halloween heaven,” adds Keiko Lynn, HomeGoods Featured Finder.

Oversized Animatronic, Namely Skeletons

No one does frightening animatronics like The Home Depot. The brand’s collection of poseable skeletons, realistic animatronics and giant-sized decorations garner excitement among Halloween enthusiasts year after year. “The 12-foot giant-sized Skelly remains a fan favorite, and this year, he’s joined by Skelly’s dog for even more impact,” says Lance Allen, senior product merchant of decorative holiday for The Home Depot.

Other standout pieces include the Levitating Reaper, Knight Dullahan and Frankenstein’s Monster. “These new releases bring advanced technology like servo motors and LED lighting, adding extra realism to their already impressive size and design.”

The Viral Icon Juice Glasses From Anthropologie

Influencers on TikTok are obsessed with collecting Anthropologie’s juice glasses, which are now available with Halloween icons including candy corns, black cats and skulls. “This year, our mystic icon juice glasses have been flying off the shelves since their release last month,” says Katherine Finder, chief merchandising officer of AnthroLiving. Finder sees customers gravitating toward tableware — think spooky appetizer plates, festive serveware and crow candle holders.

Spooky Creatures, Like Bats and Spiders

It’s not all about cheerful Halloween decor, chilling accents are popular, too. Think wicker bats, spider candle holders and plenty of lace fabrics that resemble creepy spider webs. “Our collection of new black lace entertaining is expected to be in high demand this fall, adding a hauntingly chic touch to any Halloween gathering, blending style and festivity in perfect harmony,” says Smith from Terrain.

Everything “Wednesday” Addams

Last year, we saw a ton of Wednesday Addams costumes, but Pottery Barn takes it a step further with a Wednesday-inspired collection featuring character-shaped pillows, spider-webbed welcome mats and even replicas of icons from the series. There’s the iconic disembodied hand, Thing, a light-up raven and a recreation of the Nevermore Academy.
