Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
Animated DJ Witch with Turntable
Price: $169
Tired of the same plain animatronics? This year, Walmart has a 72-inch witch. But wait, that's not all. Instead of a simple villain, this witch is a larger-than-life DJ. With a playful pumpkin head and her very own turntable, the anything-but-ordinary animated icon comes to life every night.
LED lights and glowing turntable buttons give this exterior accent a spook-tacular stand-out look that trick-or-treaters would absolutely adore. Features include motion-activated sensors, six sound clips, and easy-to-use adaptors that plug into standard outlets.
While $169 may seem pricey, compare the cost of this animatronic to what you could pay elsewhere. We spotted a slightly taller seven-foot Wicked Woods LED Lethel Lilly witch at The Home Depot for $299.
Halloween Pumpkin Stack Inflatable
Price: $49.99
Plain pumpkins just won't cut it. Today's Halloween decor requires so much more than basic jack-o'-lanterns. And that's why this eight-foot-tall inflatable is the perfect pick.
Don't worry about the neighbor's children running away from your yard. The four-tiered item features ghoulish grins and sweet smiles. And bonus, built-in LED lights give this display a notice-me glow for everyone to see. According to Walmart shopper Nichole, "All the neighborhood kids wanted to take a picture in front of it."
This fall find includes everything you need for an easy setup: A built-in air blower, one plug, six ground stakes, two fastening ropes, two water bags, and of course, an instruction manual.
My Texas House Spiderweb Decorative Dish
Price: $9.97
Elevate your home's interior this autumn with a frightfully fantastic decorative dish. Swap childish plastic plates for this subtly sophisticated spiderweb piece. The boo-tiful six-inch platter is made from cast aluminum and features an artistically embossed design and sculptural spider.
Display the whimsical web on your mantel, coffee table, or almost anywhere else inside your house. Not looking to go overboard? The metallic sheen has just the right amount of sparkle. One Walmart shopper notes, "The gold web design is fun and polished, catches the light nicely without looking cheap."
While the dish may not look "cheap," the price certainly is. For under $10, this deal is a steal.
Way to Celebrate Halloween Pumpkin Ceramic Mugs
Price: $12.97
Score this sweet stack of Halloween mugs before they're gone. This four-piece set of playful pumpkins won't stay in stock for long. Priced at $12.97, the budget-friendly bargain is an affordable option that shoppers are already snapping up. In comparison, Williams-Sonoma sells a single jack o'lantern figural mug for $18.95.
Walmart's cost-conscious collection includes more than just the 12.8-ounce mugs. You'll also get a sturdy iron holder with your purchase.
The superstore's customers can't stop talking about this playful pumpkin pick. One buyer raved, "These pumpkin mugs instantly took me back to Halloween as a kid…Each pumpkin has its own little personality. The display rack makes them feel like part of the decor."
My Texas House Halloween Pumpkins and Bats Throw
Price: $24.97
This soft, comfortable blanket flawlessly combines form with function. You could snuggle under it at night and then use it as decor. Wrap yourself in cozy warmth or drape this Halloween-themed 50-by-60-inch throw across your sofa or an armchair.
Shoppers describe this must-have autumn item as "not too light or too heavy." Of course, the mid-weight cotton design isn't the only feature customers applaud. Reviewer Dianne praised this pick, writing, "I absolutely love this blanket. Beautiful Halloween design."
Score serious savings on the under-$25 buy. Pottery Barn sells a similar style (Gus the Ghost Fair Isle Knit Jaquard Throw) for $99.
My Texas House Halloween Hanging Spiders Pillow
Price: $12.97
Give your home a pinch of Halloween style. If you're not ready to invest in animatronics, inflatables, or other oversized decor, this 14-by-20-inch pillow is an ideal (and affordable) alternative.
The $12.97 pillow won't break the bank, making it a thrifty way to decorate for the upcoming holiday. In comparison, Target charges $25 for Threshold's Halloween Pillow. That's more than twice Walmart's price.
With the money you save, toss another My Texas House pillow into your cart. The Walmart exclusive store brand's Halloween line also includes a Fall Forest Toile Pumpkin Decorative Pillow ($12.96) and a Raven Toile Pumpkin (also $12.97).
Halloween Pumpkin Ghost Wreath with Lights
Price: $22.67
Welcome trick-or-treaters and Halloween party guests with this 14-inch hanging wall decor. The lighted pumpkin-and-ghost wreath would magically transform your front door into a haunted holiday masterpiece.
Along with smiling jack-o'-lanterns and friendly ghosts, this playful pick includes bats and spooky spiderweb accents. Made from a rattan base, plastic, foam, and fabric, the fall find is an affordable indoor or outdoor accessory. One note: Even though you could hang this wreath on your home's exterior, choose a covered spot, such as under a porch or an awning.
If your Halloween budget is stretched to the max, the under-$23 price tag is a bargain. We found a similar seasonal selection at Wayfair for $31.99.
Mainstays 30-Piece Haunted House Dinnerware Set
Price: $14.88
Prep for Halloween parties and snap up this 30-piece set. Why waste money on overpriced paper products that end up in the trash? This themed plasticware collection is reusable, making it an economical and eco-friendly option.
For under $15, you'll get 10 dinner plates, 10 dinner bowls, and 10 tumblers, all made from BPA-free polypropylene. The lightweight plastic dinnerware is dishwasher-safe (top rack only) and microwave-safe.
Not a fan of the haunted house design? This multi-pack is also available in bat, pumpkin, and skeleton patterns.

Bottom line
Walmart's full line of Halloween merch doesn't drop all at once. Instead, the superstore slowly releases new arrivals, starting in the summer. That means you may need to check the store or visit the retailer's website to get the best deals on the latest fall finds.
Home decor and partyware aren't the only Halloween-themed products you'll find at Walmart this season. No bones about it, the big-box chain's spooktacular selection of holiday treats makes it easy to save money on groceries. And don't forget to grab a bulk-buy bag of candy ASAP. Unlike Sam's Club and Costco, you won't need to pay an annual fee to get Walmart's deals.
