Posted by Good Witch on

Jumps to Witches of Halloween Homepage

Spooky, silly, sweet, stylish, sinister…our 2022 Halloween collection holds something for everyone, no matter what your brand of hocus pocus. Hop on a broomstick and fall under our spell as we reveal ‘fangtastic’ decorations and tips to help you conjure the Halloween of your dreams – or nightmares.

Spellbinding Favourites

Having dwelt on this earthly plane for centuries, we Witches of Halloween are not easily impressed. However, these fresh takes have us firmly in their thrall…

Katherine's Collection Purple Bat and Cat Scales 40cmKatherine's Collection Halloween Inkwell 29cm

Three familiars are better than one. Your favourite witch confidantes join forces in the Purple Bat and Cat Scales by Katherine’s Collection. Ferociously captivating, a regal purple bat with faux fur and gold lace detail perches atop an iconic black cat wearing a choker and a malevolant expression. While the bat holds a set of ponderous scales in its outstretched wings, a quartet of rats puts their full weight against a supporting column to ensure the entire stack stands strong. This table piece has truly bestowed new life upon us.

All our victims – ahem, customers – sign binding contracts with us using this Halloween Pen and Inkwell, part of the ‘Dead and Breakfast’ series by Katherine’s Collection. The generous plume of this pen has us nostalgic for the first quill we ever held back in 1692.

Funko Pop! Nightmare Before Christmas Set of 4

Funko has resurrected the beloved cast from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Styled in all-new poses, this foursome can be purchased in a complete set or individually. Jack never looked more handsome, if you ask us. However, something very tenderly rendered in Sally Sewing tugs quite strongly at our ancient heartstrings.

Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin with Web Top Hat 29cmBethany Lowe Silly Halloween Pumpkins (3 Designs)

Stroll down to the Pumpkin Patch to meet the most genial gourds of the season and experience a Halloween more whimsical than wicked.

Who can resist returning this jolly gentleman’s silly smile? The happiest pumpkin in the patch, this plush 29cm table piece wears a dapper web print top hat accessorised with a jaunty ribbon and purple tinsel. His eyes seem to follow you around the room, but that’s only because they’re so googly.

These Silly Pumpkins cannot agree on how best to spend Halloween night. With personalities forever at odds, you’d never believe all three sprouted from the same vine. Hang these 10.8cm stone resin decorations around your home or place them in your own pumpkin patch display.

Mark Roberts Pumpkin Elf 43cmMark Roberts Pumpkin Fairies 25cm (2 Styles)

Just imagine all the Halloween hijinks the elves and fairies get up to in the Pumpkin Patch! The 43cm Pumpkin Elf winks cheekily as he gives a gap-toothed grin. His fluffy beard flows down all the way to a very intricately ribboned belt. This trickster’s poseable limbs let you create full-body expressions to reveal more of his personality. Based on what we see here, we reckon this elf prefers to play tricks rather than receive treats!

Pumpkin Fairies love trading pranks with the elves! Both 25cm poseable figurines wear fanciful outfits laden with complementary pumpkin imagery, from their stemlike caps to their pumpkin-print waistcoats and all the way down to their boots. He wears pumpkin pantaloons and she a puffy pumpkin skirt with a gauzy overlay. Her harlequin tights match the band around the base of his cap. Each carries their very own sign to spread the Halloween spirit.

Eerie-sistable Decorating Tips

Decorators, Halloween for you means using floristry, ornaments and twinkling lights to invoke the subtler side of Halloween magic.If you haven't put up a Halloween tree before, make this year the first of many.

  1. Use a branch that you find outdoors or buy one from a craft shop. When it comes to colour, we prefer natural wood, skeleton white, or pitch black. However, you could paint your tree any popular spooky season colour: mystical purple, pumpkin orange, or even ‘gang-green’.
  2. Next, place your branch in a sturdy vase, pot or urn. Choose a plain, unblemished glass or ceramic vessel or opt for a delightfully decrepit cracked, chipped antique or vintage vase from an op-shop. Securely position your branch by wedging it in place with polystyrene pieces, sand, castoff bits of fabric, or rocks and pebbles.
  3. Time to decorate. Wrap your tree with lights first: orangepurplewhite, or black. If the strand is too long, tuck the remaining lights into the vase and let them glow from within, wrap them around the vessel, or let them spill out across the table.
  4. After the lights, weave ribbons through the branches. Choose colours that complement your lights and tree or try this quaint art nouveau-inspired pumpkin and spiderweb ribbon.
  5. Now, start hanging your ornaments. We recommend these beguiling Day of the Dead ornaments by Kurt Adler and darkly sparkling black sequined baubles. With a little string or ribbon, Lemax Spooky Town figurines make great ornaments, too.
  6. Lastly, clip on a pair of Brunhilda’s jewelled spiders so they look like they’re crawling along the branches of your ‘terror-ific’ tree.

Fierce Floristry

Black Poinsettia with Stem 30cmKatherine's Collection Purple Glitter Spray 81cmBlack Butterfly with Gold Glimmer Highlights 10cmPurple Glitter Bead Spray 60cm

Dear Reader, we nominate the midnight-black poinsettia as the unofficial floral emblem for Halloween 2022. They darkly glitter and carry the merest hint of the macabre. Nothing sets them off better than purple glitter sprays and black butterflies. Delve into our top tips for frightfully ‘faboolous’ Halloween floral displays:

  • Arrange stems in a vessel of your choice to summon ethereal Hallows Eve vibes.
  • For a quirky display, station Spooky Town figurines within the bouquet.
  • Spotlight a prized large figurine or table piece by surrounding it with floristry. The Guardian Angel of Death and Haunted Halloween Tree with Skeletons would look ‘boo-witching’ encircled by floristry.
  • Include pumpkins!
  • Add jewelled spider clips and skeletons for ghastlier otherworldly themes.

Inflatables

Transform your yard, veranda, patio, courtyard, and balcony into a wicked spectacle with inflatables. Made of water-resistant, durable polyester fabric, each inflatable comes with bright LED lights to bring them to life, as well as stakes and ropes to anchor them securely. They also work well indoors. Decorate for a monster of a Halloween party by placing inflatables in corners and other low traffic areas. Weigh them down with sandbags or books. Each strange and scary character has its own frightful personality.

Things That Go Bump in the Night

You’ll want to invite these fearsome creatures to your haunt if you’re howling for a good scare. Skip this section if you frighten easily…

Every Halloween, this awful appendage stirs from its resting place and advances on unsuspecting mortals. The Green Thing comes with three AA batteries. Once activated, it crawls in search of potential victims. If you stay very still, it will stop. This is your chance to escape. However, should you make any noise, it will reanimate and resume its search. –Flee so you don’t end up in its clutches!

Who-who-whoo’s there? These vicious owls will swoop down and carry your soul away. Hang either of them from the ceiling or a doorway to terrorise unwanted visitors.

What’s red and black and happens to be climbing up your bed post? –An overly aggressive arachnid! Your Halloween can’t be truly horrible without spiders.

Let us take you on a tour to Spooky Town, the dearly decrepit Halloween villages by Lemax.

Beware of everything and everyone in Lemax's Spooky Town. This haunted hamlet holds spills and chills around every corner. Its unique charms led one weary traveller to leave this '5 ghost' review: "Amidst dismal decay and dilapidated buildings, the living dead have found a place to rest in pieces in Spooky Town.
