Amazon October Prime Day is back (October 7 through 8), and while the sales span everything from fashion to tech, the real treat is Halloween decor. Prime Big Deal Days is stacked with discounts that’ll get your house party-ready by October 31—without the last-minute scramble at your local craft store. Think: bat decals that won’t peel your paint, Hogwarts-style floating candles and Mackenzie-Childs Pumpkins that you’ll want to display through Thanksgiving.

Here, find 15 of the best last-minute Halloween decorations I could find—because nothing’s scarier than paying full price for pumpkins. (Heads up: if you don’t have a Prime membership, you can still sign up for a free 30-day trial to access the discounts.)

The Best Amazon Halloween Decor Is Vintage-Inspired, And I’ll Prove It 


MacKenzie-Childs is everywhere this decorating season (so you better grab this deal before it’s out of stock). These hand-painted resin pumpkins trade spooky for chic, with bubblegum pink stripes and checks topped in gleaming gold stems. The set includes one small and one medium size, perfect for stacking on a mantel or mixing into an entryway. Bonus: If pink isn’t your palette, there are tons of other colors—classic black-and-white, moody Sterling, even moss green—that let you match the patch to your vibe.

Nothing sets the Halloween mood faster than a ceiling of floating candles—Hogwarts-style. This set of 12 flickering LED tapers comes pre-strung with fishing line (you can hang them in five minutes) and even includes a wand-shaped remote so you can “cast a spell” to turn them on. I’d cluster them above a dining table or down a hallway for instant Great Hall energy—no Sorting Hat required.

The easiest way to channel Dracula? A swarm of bats. This pack comes with 60 PVC cutouts in four sizes, each with foldable wings so they look like they’re mid-flight. They stick on with removable adhesive squares that won’t peel your paint, then come off clean on November 1. Hot tip: Try clustering them up a staircase wall or swooping them across a doorway for maximum effect with minimal effort.

Skip the inflatable graveyard and go for something subtler: this set of three primitive-style ghosts, each perched on a wooden stand and wrapped in layered muslin and cheesecloth. At varying heights (11, 9 and 7 inches), they’re tagged with rustic labels, which makes them just as fitting on a tiered tray as they are in the center of your mantle. Think less party store, more charming heirloom you found in a New England antique shop.

These 21-foot string lights trade the usual twinkle for a flickering flame effect: 10 lantern-style bulbs that look like real candlelight. They’re solar-powered, waterproof and auto-switch on at dusk (just leave the panel in the sun for a full charge). Perfect for draping across a porch, along a fence or through the trees in your yard—you get the drama of a haunted manor without the fire hazard.

Equal parts spooky and gothic, this trio of black pillar candles “bleeds” with a red wax-drip effect while glowing with flickering LED flames. Each one runs on AA batteries (not included) and has a built-in 6-hour timer, so you can set them once and let them cycle on and off automatically. At staggered heights (4, 5 and 6 inches), they look especially good on a mantel, bookshelf or clustered with pumpkins for that haunted-house-meets-Victorian-parlor vibe.

This set of skeletal hands crawls out of your walls, each one holding a flickering candle like a gothic butler. You get four hands in total—battery-operated, flameless candles included—and they’re safe to hang just about anywhere (entryway, hallway, even a covered porch). They also come with both screws and adhesive, so you have everything you need to turn your space into a scene out of The Haunted Mansion.

Think of this as the grown-up answer to the plastic trick-or-treat bucket you carried as a kid. Crafted from durable porcelain with a glossy jack-o’-lantern grin, the bowl measures 9.25 inches across and holds a generous 112 ounces of candy. It’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe, which means you can actually use it for popcorn or chips—though it does make a particularly charming centerpiece when filled with wrapped candy by the door.

Here, another set of chic resin pumpkins that swap the usual bright orange for a brown-and-white faceted finish. At 6.7 and 4.3 inches tall, they’re sized perfectly for tabletops, mantels or shelves—and since they’re indoor-only, you don’t have to worry about weather dulling their texture. Definitely more Hudson Valley farmhouse than trick-or-treat stoop. 

This Halloween fleece has big “grandma’s quilt” energy—only instead of hand-stitched florals, it’s patchworked with pumpkins, leaves and gingham checks. The 50-by-60-inch throw is made from plush polyester flannel—lightweight but warm—with a fuzzy, brushed texture that feels like a hug fresh out of the dryer. And yes, it’s machine washable, so you can curl up with it all October without stressing over cider spills or popcorn butter.

Another cozy must-have to add to cart? These pumpkin pillow covers, which lean more elegant than kitschy thanks to textured embroidery. Made from plush faux fur with a hidden zipper closure, they’re soft on both sides, machine washable, and come in two sizes (18” x 18” or 20” x 20”) to fit your sofa, bench or bed setup. In rust red, beige, cream white and orange, they also slip seamlessly into your Halloween spread while still being polished enough to leave out through Thanksgiving.

If you’re set on luring trick-or-treaters, this six-pack of solar spotlights does the heavy lifting. Each one cycles through seven lighting modes—red, blue, green, purple, white, warm yellow and a shifting RGB mix—so you can bathe your walkway in eerie green or give your front porch a sinister purple glow. They’re also waterproof with a large-capacity battery, which means up to eight hours of illumination (even on cloudy days). Just stake them in the ground or mount them to a wall for a front yard that looks more Salem than suburban cul-de-sac.

If Casper had a rebellious older cousin, it’d be this resin ghost flipping the bird. At just 3.5 inches tall, it’s compact enough to sit on a bookshelf, coffee table or even ride shotgun as a cheeky car ornament. Crafted from durable resin with a smooth finish, it’s sturdy, snarky and just the right amount of spooky.

Straight out of Hocus Pocus, this 44-inch wooden broom sign points you down “Boo Boulevard,” “Spooky Street” and “Witch’s Way,” all while glowing with warm string lights. The straw broom base and witch’s hat topper make it sturdy enough for the porch and whimsical enough for an entryway, and since it’s built for indoor and outdoor display, you can set the scene wherever your coven gathers. Just be prepared for the Sanderson sisters to show up after you add AA batteries (not included).

Add a dose of nostalgia to your tablescape with these adorable Lenox accent plates. Featuring Snoopy, Woodstock and the gang in delightfully spooky scenes—from pumpkin patches to trick-or-treat cameos—the porcelain set of four is a love letter to It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Each 8-inch plate is hand-wash only, but they’ll have kids and adults alike grinning like jack-o’-lanterns.
