If you’re shopping for Halloween, Costco’s got plenty of bulk candy and spooky decor. While you might want to finish off the candy this year — or get the neighborhood kids to do it — some things can be stored away and brought back out for many holidays to come. Not only can this save you a trip to the store next year, but it can also save you money.

Ready to do some Halloween shopping for things that will last for at least another year? Here are some of Costco’s top buys right now.

Disney Haunted Party House

Price: $99.99

This tabletop decor is Disney-themed with all the classics, such as Goofy, Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse. It lights up and plays haunting music when plugged in, making it a spooky centerpiece for any larger Halloween setup. It’s also rather detailed and sturdy. If you’re a fan of the classics, this is something you might want to get for many Halloweens to come.

Disney 9′ Halloween Arch

Price: $449.99

From Costco Direct comes this nine-foot-tall arch for the path leading up to your front door. It weighs about 50 pounds and is made for outdoor use, so you can expect it to be sturdy enough to weather the elements. It’s also got LED lights that illuminate it and the surrounding path at night.

More fun than spooky, this arch has pumpkins with mouse ears — as expected of anything Disney. Walking under it is sure to delight any trick-or-treaters or even you. Just be aware that you’ll need to assemble it yourself.

Halloween Harvest Themed Decorative Pillow

Price: $19.99

Not everything Halloween-themed has to be spooky or a centerpiece. This decorative pillow adds just the right amount of flair to your living room sofa or armchair without being overwhelming in its aesthetic. It comes in four options: batty moon, ghost, pumpkin, and Scottish harvest. You can grab just the one, or you can mix and match a few.

Despite being decorative, these pillows are soft and comfortable to use. They’re also well-detailed and look great both at Halloween and throughout the fall season (depending on the one you pick).

7′ Animated Werewolf

Price: $339.99

If you love the haunted house vibe, this seven-foot-tall, animated werewolf could be the perfect addition to your front lawn, porch, or living room (assuming you have the space). It has life-like LCD eyes and is motion-activated so that its mouth, head, and arms all move whenever someone happens by. And if that’s not enough to cause a fright, the eerie sound effects might be.

You will need to plug it in. But besides that, it’s as easy as positioning it where you want it and letting it do what it was designed to.

7′ Animated Pumpkin Scarecrow

Price: $224.99

If animated werewolves aren’t your thing, this pumpkin-headed scarecrow might be. Whether you want to really lean into the haunted aesthetic, or you just love a good jump scare or laugh, this scarecrow can do it all. In the dark, it’s spooky with its glowing head, but it will also tell some corny jokes whenever someone walks by.

This pumpkin scarecrow has a built-in timer that keeps it on for six hours at a time, perfect for nighttime use. Some assembly is required, so bear that in mind. That said, the overall build quality is solid, so this is something that’s sure to last a long time.

Pumpkin Luminary Set By Desert Steel

Price: $86.99

If you want something that will last for years to come, these steel pumpkins could be right up your alley. They come in a set and can be placed inside or out on the patio or porch. They’re also UV-, fade-, and rust-resistant, so they’ll keep their nice finish for a long time.

Plus, they’re designed so that you can place something inside — like a battery-operated candle — to make them glow. You can get them in either orange or white.

Animated Skeleton Tombstone with Lights and Music

Price: $79.99

With a standing tombstone background, this dancing skeleton is motion-activated to light up and play haunting music whenever someone walks by. It’s got the right blend of creepy and funny, so it won’t scare away any neighbors.

It does require an outlet, so keep that in mind. You’ll also want to put it somewhere the rain can’t get to it, but other than that, it’s sure to last.

Halloween Swirling Glitter Lantern

Price: $49.99

Standing at just over 14 inches tall, this lantern contains swirling glitter and plays haunting music. It comes in several designs, including Disney, Snoopy, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Each option has its own music and characters.

You’ll need three “C” batteries, but these are included. You can also set the timer to have it on for six hours in the evenings and automatically turn off once everyone’s gone to bed.
