Halloween is right around the corner, though some of us have been saying that since November 1st, and with it comes the frighteningly festive urge to decorate. But if the neighborhood slips too much into a routine, it can turn frightfully dull. That one house that always hangs the same witch and cat cutouts from 1985. The neighbor whose styrofoam tombstones always get lost in the autumn winds. Even the house that takes its front porch gore scene too far can get boring after a while.

That's why this Halloween, you need to spice things up. Deck out the door for prospective trick or treaters. String up the kind of lights that make passersby stop and snap a pic. Heck, toss a Halloween wreath up for your own Nightmare Before Christmas. But if you really wanna spruce up the spine-chilling season with some decor that won't take up much space in the off-season, inflatable Halloween decorations are the way to go.

From licensed characters from your favorite horror films to creative combinations of seasonal iconography, inflatable Halloween decorations make for an impressive and sometimes imposing seasonal display that can be easily packed away once it's time to trade the trick-or-treat candy for turkey and candied yams.

These are some of our absolute favorite inflatables that you can add to your lawn this Halloween season.

In a time where the Sanderson Sisters are as much a part of Disney's annual Halloween rollout as the Headless Horseman and Jack Skellington, it's hard to believe Hocus Pocus was actually a box office failure on its initial release.

But the real ones know the campy creepiness of this cult classic is the perfect way to set the tone for Halloween fun run amok (amok, amok, amok, amok!). So let this inflatable put a spell on you and light up your house like a Black Flame Candle.

For grown ups, it may seem like we've just met the Minions. But considering they made their big screen debut back in 2010, that means most of your trick or treaters have never known a world without these funny-talking creatures. As for which inflatable Minion to adorn your lawn this Halloween, we have to go with Kevin. We just like the sass he's serving up.

The Haunted Mansion Hitchhiking Ghosts Inflatable

Maybe your suburban home isn't quite a sprawling estate, but what if for one scary season you could turn it into a very particular kind of mansion?

10-Foot Halloween Inflatable Plague Doctor

As most of learned in recent years, one of the key elements of response to a public health crisis is optics and making sure people feel comfortable and unafraid, which is why it's wild to think that during the infamous bubonic plague, the decision was made to create the most terrifying mask in the history of humanity.

This fun 10-foot-tall inflatable can send chills with its creepy bird-like face or provide a great opportunity to lecture trick or treaters about the Il Medico della Peste character of 17th-century commedia dell'arte.

Outdoor Zombie with Rotten Face & Long Nails

One of the finest traditions in horror and Halloween, alongside candy and scary masks, is just barely skirting copyright. Going into stores and seeing not-quite-official costumes like “Octopus Competition” that look a lot like Squid Game.

None of that has any bearing here. Zombie with Rotten Face & Long Nails is surely an entirely original character and definitely not the best inflatable approximation of a certain movie slasher that you can find. The way this figure appears to be leaping from the ground to grab you is sure to keep trick or treaters up at night with bad dreams. Particularly bad dreams on, let's say, streets named after trees.

Pumpkins are perhaps the ultimate Halloween decoration. But the aftermath of traditional carved pumpkins can be a messy hassle. This fun inflatable of three stacked jack-o’-lanterns self-inflate when plugged into a standard outlet and cast a fun seasonal glow for all who pass by.

We like the stakes and tethers that come with this particular inflatable to ensure it stays put, but even more, we like that, unlike real jack-o’-lanterns, when these ones deflate after the holiday is over, we don’t have to worry about cleaning up the stoop.

Ghosts, by their immortal nature, can’t be destroyed. And while the makers of this creepy ghost and pumpkin pairing can’t promise the same after-lifetime guarantee, you’re sure to get plenty of years out of this fun inflatable thanks to its weatherproof and fadeproof material.
