—  

Spirit Halloween is The Place for all things Halloween. It’s got costumes, it’s got animatronic figures, it’s got string lights and pathway lights and LED lights that project tiny spiders onto your home. Truly, Spirit Halloween has it all.

When we say “all” we truly mean “all” — the breadth of Spirit Halloween’s inventory can be overwhelming, and treasures are easy to miss among the fake cobwebs. So we combed through the entire store, leaving no (grave)stone unturned, to find the 20 spookiest, creepiest and downright scary things at Spirit Halloween, from costumes and makeup to lighting and decorations.

While it may not be everyone’s favorite coffee, the iced coffee from Dunkin’ holds a certain amount of caché for a very specific type of person. Dunkin’ lovers will be so excited to dress up as this iconic drink for Halloween, and creative types looking for couples costume inspiration will appreciate this free idea: Buy a Red Sox cap and Boston pride tee so one half can dress as Ben Affleck and the other can dress as his beloved Dunks iced coffee.

Pajama costumes solve two major Halloween costume problems: They are comfortable, and they are warm.

Macabre motifs aren’t the only way to go on Halloween, of course — there are loads of brightly colored, high-spirited costumes and accessories to choose from.

Votive candle holders are another way to add a big splash of Halloween flair to a small space. If you’ll be lighting up the votives in a space that will be largely unattended, like a guest bathroom, opt for flameless votive candles rather than the wax version to prevent a fire.

6-Foot Grim Animatronic ($279.99; spirithalloween.com)

Spirit Halloween

6 Ft. Grim Animatronic

It’s not the most expensive animatronic item Spirit Halloween offers — that would be the 7.5-Foot Demogorgon Static Prop Decoration, which costs a cool $1,299.99 and which is sadly sold out (who is buying this thing, please show yourself, we must know) — but this 6-foot skeleton takes last year’s giant skeleton trend up a notch by adding movement and sound to the pile of bones.
