Halloween Tech Decorations

Design News has compiled a comprehensive list of nine different gadgets and decorations for Halloween, showing off the latest technology just in time for the haunting night.

1. Haunted Halloween Projector

First on the list is a spooky smart projector for both indoors and outdoors. It's even better to use the projection screen material to make the spookiest of scenes coming out of thin air.

The deal starts at $69.95 with 12 holiday-themed movies included. It is now 56% off its original price, and it can also be re-used for Christmas, considering the bundle comes with 6 Halloween movies and 6 Christmas movies.

2. Disney 13-Foot Giant-Sized Animated Jack Skellington

Next is another Halloween-Christmas decoration. Straight out from Disney's "Nightmare Before Christmas" is a 13-foot giant-sized animated Jack Skellington.

The giant figurine can be bought at your local Home Depot for $399. Described as one of Home Depot's hits for Halloween 2023, it was made in collaboration with Disney for the film's 30th anniversary.

Jack Skellington's 13-foot size is not the only thing that makes the figurine unique. Our favorite romantic skeleton also supports a motor in its head for lifelike movements with a slightly sinister molded brow.

3. Skeleton Dances

Can't get enough of Jack Skellington? How about some dancing skeletons to complete the spooky look? These technology-driven dancing animated projections are a delight to watch.

Plus, they can be delivered immediately to your email for digital download. Perfect for last-minute decorations. With the official name "Skeleton Dances," these dancers are only one of the four decorations comprising the "Bone Chillers 2 Digital Decoration Collection."

Loaded with dances, musical performances, slapstick routines, and some scary scenes, get the "Skeleton Dances" for only $19 and only $49 for the whole "Bone Chillers 2 Digital Decoration Collection."

4. Warner Brothers Talking Lighted Animatronic Clown

Now, try the life-size Pennywise clown animated figure that eats scared kids for a truly terrifying animatronic. Complete with the "It" iconic look and the infamous red balloon, its head also turns and speaks phrases from the movie and raises the red balloon in its hand. It is being sold for $239 at Lowes.

5. Anker Nebula Capsule Portable Projector

For someone who wants a good projector for lifelike and crystal-clear scares for Halloween, try Anker's Nebula Capsule. A coke-sized projector that packs a punch, with a "remarkably bright 100 ANSI-lumen image" and "a powerful omnidirectional speaker."

Its 100-inch picture and four-hour video playtime for inside and outside will surely not disappoint anyone. Get it for $294 at Amazon.

Try the JOYIN 60" Halloween Animated Hanging Grim Reaper for another realistic skeleton to decorate for only $27 at Amazon. The hanging skeleton supports a light-up body and creepy sounds. It's also battery-operated for everyone's convenience.

Just hang it on a tree, window, ceiling, porch, or doorway, and you're good to go! Let it float and scare your guests while you sit and relax.

7. PULACO Mist Maker

Aside from the decorations, how about something for the atmosphere? A foggy atmosphere, to be specific. Try Pulaco's Mist Maker, an indoor fountain mister fogger and air humidifier. Get it now for only 15$ at Amazon.

A 12.5 ft. wide animated predator of the night is surely a game-changer to any decoration. Just imagine a nine-foot-tall predator creature haunting the night. This $349-worth predator is equipped with glowing eyes, chilling growls, and lifelike movement. It is indeed a demonic beast suitable for outdoor locations.

9. Solar Scary Eyeball Lights

Try the solar scary eyeball lights for a truly eye-popping decoration. It comes in two packs, and you can get both packs for only $29.99.
