As Summerween comes to a close and we head into fall, traditional Halloween decorations are everywhere.
Stores like HomeGoods and TJ Maxx are stocked to the gills with the scary goods, while last month Michaels dropped a totally unique Alice in Wonderland-themed line that’s great for Halloween or year-round dark decor.
Beverage company Angry Orchard recently dropped a Jason Universe short film titled Sweet Revenge to celebrate its seasonal hard cider offerings, including a blood orange cider emblazoned with the Friday the 13th killer’s haunting masked face. You can watch the latest installment in the franchise — the first in 16 years — on YouTube.
Looking to decorate your yard? Home Depot has expanded its creepy collections even further this year with the return of the 12-foot Skelly and his loyal companion, Skelly Dog. New additions to the family include Skelly’s 5-foot-long cat and a 6.5-foot Ultra Skelly, who has animated eyes that give him a lifelike appearance and, in a special app, 30 programmable recordings using various voices, so he can hand out eerie greetings to every trick-or-treater.
Of course, Spirit Halloween has made its official return for the 2025 season with physical store openings and online offerings ready to be shipped straight to your door. One update to Spirit Halloween’s offerings is the first-ever Jack the Reaper animatronic, which is modeled after the store’s famous mascot and stands an impressive 7.5 feet tall.
