Best Halloween decorations for 2025: Shop viral Home Depot skeletons, Lenox collectibles and more

WATCH: The Home Depot's 6.5-foot skeleton is perfect for year-round decor

As Summerween comes to a close and we head into fall, traditional Halloween decorations are everywhere at tons of your favorite retailers.

Stores like HomeGoods -- a favorite of Halloween fanatics on the in-person shopping prowl -- and TJ Maxx are stocked to the gills with the scary goods, while last month, Michaels dropped a totally unique "Alice in Wonderland"-themed line that's great for Halloween or year-round dark decor, a trend that popular ghost tour company Ghost City Tours told "GMA" is "no longer seasonal," but rather "mainstream" and perfect for "haunted lifestyle devotees ... creating year-round communities."

For those looking to entertain this season, Anthropologie's Halloween line is always a hit. A spike in Google search activity for the brand's Halloween wares shows collectors are back for more in 2025 as the store's partner brand, Terrain, unveils a host of adorable creepy creatures, glassware and more for the holiday.

And speaking of glassware, beverage company Angry Orchard recently dropped a Jason Universe short film titled "Sweet Revenge" to celebrate its seasonal hard cider offerings, including a blood orange cider emblazoned with the "Friday the 13th" killer's haunting masked face. You can watch the latest installment in the franchise -- the first in 16 years -- on YouTube.

Some of the most special pieces you can invest in this year come from fine China purveyors Lenox, whose Peanuts "Welcome Great Pumpkin" figure and Halloween tree are two instant classic additions to your collection that will continue to charm and delight the whole family each year when you pull them out to display.

Looking to decorate your yard? Home Depot, a standout in the outdoor Halloween world, has expanded its creepy collections even further this year with the return of the 12-foot Skelly and his loyal companion, Skelly Dog. New additions to the family include Skelly's new 5-foot-long cat and a 6.5-foot Ultra Skelly, who has animated eyes that give him a lifelike appearance and, in a special app, 30 programmable recordings using various voices, so he can hand out eerie greetings to every trick-or-treater.

Of course, the epicenter of everything Halloween related, Spirit Halloween, has made its official return for the 2025 season with physical store openings and online offerings ready to be shipped straight to your door. One exciting update to Spirit Halloween's offerings is the first-ever Jack the Reaper animatronic, which is modeled after the store's famous mascot and stands an impressive 7.5 feet tall.
