Our Favorite Halloween Home Decor From Disney

If you love Disney and Halloween, you've probably been browsing shopDisney's Halloween section for a while. While their website features a variety of seasonal costumes and accessories, did you know they also have a huge selection of home decor? They even offer a small number of spooky seasonal-specific items. But it's easy to get confused and not sure what really makes a good buy.

We set out to find five of the best Disney Halloween decor items, not just the classic Pumpkin Lantern Mickeys. To narrow it down, we looked for items that were aesthetically interesting, quirky, slightly creepy, and served a functional purpose. Many of our tips work year-round, but they have that little touch of Disney magic that makes you happy to use them every day. If you're looking to extend your love of Disney to all seasons, you might even consider creating a completely Disney-inspired home.

Haunted Mansion Porcelain Tray

We're always looking for ways to bring the magic of Disneyland home this Halloween, and while we can't use our ears 24/7, the Haunted Mansion porcelain tray is a delightful tribute to the well-known Haunted attraction. Mansion. Specifically, it pays tribute to Madame Leote, the ride's hostess, which is one of the many reasons for the ride's incredible following, according to the Imagineer Podcast.

At $17.99, these are licensed memorabilia that won't break the bank. As you can see from this photo, this tray is small, measuring only 8 inches long, 5 ¼ inches wide, and ½ inch high, so it's not a very functional option for breakfast in bed or displays. Unfortunately, its size doesn't allow you to paste too much or it will block all the horrible graphics and text. Instead, use it to hold coasters, as a drinks tray, or hang it on the wall as a unique decorative piece. There are also no care instructions in the description on the website, so you may need to hand wash it after each use. This spooky item combines spooky, gothic details and Disney nostalgia.

Mickey Mouse Halloween Hourglass

While this The Sonic Mickey Mouse Halloween Hourglass has spooky elements, including its sleek silhouette and classic black and white imagery reminiscent of Disney's Mickey Mouse in The Sonic: The Haunted House (1929). Little nods to the characters are a She Knows-recommended way to tastefully integrate Disney décor into your home. You can display these hourglasses individually or on the included wooden stand for $39.99. There is a magnet in the base and the jar is filled with magnetic sand that attracts the sand. It is ideal for Halloween or as a decoration throughout the year for fans of classic animation.

Despite its name, this hourglass doesn't leak sand for an hour (according to reviews)! If you plan to use it as a real watch, you'll find yourself turning it over every few minutes. And because of its shape and weight, it can tip over easily, so place it on a hard surface away from pets and small children.

Nightmare Before Christmas Countdown Hours

Why do advent calendars only come out at Christmas? The Nightmare Before Christmas Countdown Clock Calendar will help you count down the days until Halloween and Christmas in the true spirit of The Nightmare Before Christmas. If you love the unique and spooky aesthetic of Tim Burton classics, this $59.99 watch tastefully blends fun and purpose. According to Very Well Family, rotating numbers each day is also a great way to get the little ones pumped up before the holidays.

This is a manual countdown timer, not a running 12 hour clock. And even then, you have to change numbers and hands every day. As one reviewer put it: "Think of it like sculpture or you'll be disappointed." Still, this Christmas decoration can be used for months and is a great buy for fans of the Nightmare Before Christmas aesthetic who want to add a little spookiness. To vacations

Skeleton Dance and Haunted House Plate Set

Serve up a slice of pumpkin pie or Halloween treats in this four-piece black and white Skeleton Dance and Haunted House set, or use them to create a Disney display in your china cupboard for a spooky month. For $49.99 you get four panels, each about 8 inches tall. Each disc contains a scene from A Silly Symphony, Dance of the Skeletons (1929) or Mickey Mouse in The Haunted House (1929). The hilarious and slightly creepy animation is one of the earliest works of Walt Disney (via Britannica).

Add some spooky fun to dinner with these functional dessert plates. From a purely practical point of view, these plates are not microwave or dishwasher safe. So if you are afraid of washing dishes by hand and plan to use these dishes to serve food, it may not be suitable.

Nightmare Before Christmas Candle

Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas candle can work not only as a candle holder, but also as an ornament. For $34.99, this ceramic lidded jar holds a candle, but once it's blown out, you're not left with an unnecessary dish. You can add a new candle to a ceramic bowl or use it as a place for keys or jewelry. It would be great with scented candles in the fall or just on your mantelpiece as a menacing urn.

We always hate when a beautiful candle jar goes to waste, but this candle holder and lid are meant to be reused, but it can be difficult to remove wax residue from the bottom of this container. One trick Quick Candles uses is to freeze the jar so the wax becomes very hard and easy to remove so you can use the jar at home.
