Witchy Fun
The only thing that can improve Halloween lawn décor is to bring it to life. Animatronic Halloween decorations move, light up and make noise just like the creepy characters they’re meant to represent, making them the perfect choice for those who want to really grab the attention of passersby.
In this image, a spooky witch is motion-activated to move and speak, cackling at treat-or-treaters as they collect their candy. Other unsavory characters include this 12-foot lighted pumpkin king. Add skeletons, clowns, grim reapers and grave diggers to your creepy collection.
If you prefer a more cheerful animatronic for little ones, select a Disney character, fun mummy or friendly ghost.
