Price: $1.25

If you love Target's Lewis the Pumpkin ghoul but can't fathom dropping $180, you'll want to grab the quieter version. Sure, it doesn't light up or talk, but you could buy 144 for the same price as Lewis.

Halloween Bleeding Skull Candle

Price: $1.25

This candle looks like a human skull on the outside, but it begins to "bleed" red wax when lit. It's sure to add the perfect creepy ambiance to your Halloween decorations.

Each section of this skull fence measures 22 inches by 11.4 inches, making it perfectly adjustable to line your existing fence or to create a mini-graveyard display on your front lawn. 

Halloween Skull Paper Plates

Price: $1.25 

These might be our favorite Halloween plates of all time, and the only downside is they don't come in a ceramic option for year-round use! They come in packs of 16, so you may want to snag a few while they last if you love them as much as we do. 

Glass Laboratory Flasks
