Code Orange! All the Horror Movie and TV-Themed Halloween Decor to Shop for Now

If you're getting a jump start on spooky season, add these cute, wacky, and/or genuinely unsettling items to your list.

If you’re a Halloween decor collector, you know how serious the horror merch game is as early as August. Spooky shoppers call out a “Code Orange” alert the moment the latest in seasonal decor drops, because it tends to sell out immediately. Even before physical Halloween store locations or Target aisles open, midnight online restocks get scooped up—just ask anyone who has tried unsuccessfully for two years to secure one of those 12-foot skeletons.

Here’s our round up of the best movie and TV-themed decor available at online Halloween and horror retailers, featuring merchandise from Stranger Things, It, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and Nightmare Before Christmas.

Whoa, Sandworms!

Paper Thin Upside Down

You’ll be hard pressed finding Stranger Things Halloween decor. We’re actually really surprised no one has cornered what would surely be a red-hot market. Where are the animatronics for Vecna or the Demogorgon? Party City has a wall wrap... at least.

Killer Klowns Party

Who would have thought there’d be decor and merch for Killer Klowns From Outer Space fans? Spirit Halloween did that.

Iconic. Best animatronic at Spirit Halloween. No notes.

What do a Mando, Grogu, and a pumpkin have in common? Sure beats us, but behold this unhinged yet cute inflatable from Lowes.

Skeleton Dance

This is a deep cut: an incense holder inspired by the spookiest of the Silly Symphonies, the classic Skeleton Dance. It’s available on ShopDisney.

So, You’ve Read the Handbook for the Recently Deceased?

Tracking down this set—there’s also an Adam Maitland, to go with Barbara here—was a mission last year. Both these creature-faced ghosts from Beetlejuice are available at Spirit Halloween online and in stores... if you can find them.
