Your kiddo is sure to be a dino-mite hit at Halloween parties and trunk-or-treat events in a GOOSH inflatable dinosaur costume. 

A blower is included for inflating the costume, which also requires four AA batteries (not included) in its battery pack. Get the costume in 36-, 48- and 55-inch sizes at varying prices before your preferred size sells out.

The word “creepy,” as well as the phrase “worth every penny,” came up in several customer reviews for Fun Express’ giant skeleton spider decoration. 

This plastic arachnid measures at 32 inches and is large enough to mount on shrubs, hedges, porches or patios to give trick-or-treaters a major jump scare.

• Price: $20.97

Since Sept. 14, more than 100 Walmart shoppers have purchased this unique orange and purple willow tree online. 

As affordable as it is aesthetically pleasing, each tree stands at 48 inches tall and features 162 LED lights that fade in and out into orange and purple. Use it as a decorative indoor and outdoor conversation piece alike.

• Price: $6.92

Light the wick on this set of two bleeding taper candles and watch as they “bleed” red melting wax. 

And if the bleeding effect isn’t cool enough, we also like how these candles are made to resemble a skeleton’s fingers. Pair with your favorite Gothic candelabra to set an extra spooky mood.

• Price: $38.24 (regularly $44.99)

Seasonal LLC has several prismatic Halloween-shaped decorations available at Walmart this year, including pumpkins, bats and spiders. 

We added the handcrafted pumpkins to this list, thanks to their $9 discount and overall ease in use. Just use the Bluetooth app-based control to customize to your preferred glow.

• Price: $37.99 online

One Walmart shopper remarked that these eyeball orbs are cheaper than a similar set sold at Frontgate. They cost $10 less — and you get more orbs for your money, too. 

This nine-piece set can be used as decorative bowl filler or placed anywhere in your home where you need to keep an eye on visitors.

• Price: $27.94 online

No Halloween is complete without a poseable skeleton to dress up or display in your space.

Walmart shoppers get their money’s worth out of this 5-foot skeleton, available in five colors with movable joints. Shop your favorite color or splurge for a cluster of skellys to arrange in hilarious positions.
