For the more spookily inclined among us, the old song gets it wrong: The most wonderful time of the year ain’t Christmas, it’s Halloween. Once the final weeks of summer start counting down, it’s time to start planning a spectacular spooky season.
As you gear up for a Halloween that would even make The Addams Family proud, you want to keep the scares to your movies and decor — not your wallet. Which is why you’ll head over to Target to get the goodies that will keep your cauldron bubbling (not literally, of course; unless you really do have a cauldron) for a reasonable price.
You’ll want to get these items before the other Halloween zombies grab them up.
Silver Buffalo Sanrio Hello Kitty Frankenstein Mug: $26.99
OK, $27 for a mug may seem expensive — and admittedly, Target is offering Halloween mugs that are far cheaper — but c’mon, it’s Frankenstein meets Hello Kitty. Not exactly the most common pairing, which makes this gorgeously designed and meticulously sculpted one-of-a-kind mug rare — and likely to fly off the shelves. You’ll also get your money’s worth in portion sizes, since this Frankenkitty serves 20 ounces of beverage. That’s a lot of coffee, cocoa or witches’ brew.
Gallerie II Frank Monster & Bride Halloween Salt & Pepper Shakers: $16.69
Hosting a spooky soiree cool enough to raise the dead? You’re going to need salt and pepper shakers. And there’s no better set than this adorable rendering of The Bride of Frankenstein and the man, the monster, the myth himself, Frankenstein’s monster. Painted with a retro cuteness that will make you want to keep them on your table long after Halloween has passed, these salt and pepper shakers are a must have. And you’ll want to get them before everyone else has the same idea.
Big Dot of Happiness Pastel Halloween Glasses and Masks – Photo Booth Props Kit: $14.99
Want to join the pink pumpkin club this Halloween? Of course you do. For the folks who like their Halloween fun to come with more girly-pop than gore, this kit of pastel masks and glasses shaped like bats, pumpkins, ghosts and other ghoulishly gorgeous looks.
You and your boo crew can spend some fun time assembling them and partying like extras in the “Thriller” video — even if you don’t have a formal photo booth, only a selfie stick and a will to conquer Instagram.
Halloween Decor Kit Bats – Hyde and EEK! Boutique™: $12
If your goth phase never really ended, you’re going to love this wall decorkit. Complete with eight bats whose wings are spread in flight, the kit offers you the chance to create your own amateur bat cave — whether it’s for a Halloween party, because you love Batman or you just feel like living in spooky splendor for a while longer.
They’re affordable and easy to use, which means that that rustling sound you’re hearing isn’t just bat wings, its other people taking off to snatch up multiple kits, so you’d better get yours today.
