Must-Haves for Spooky Home Upgrades

Sounds that strike when they sense you.

The Waytronic Motion-Activated Sound Box plays any sound file—think creaking doors or sudden screams—the moment a visitor nears. Just add your favorite effects via USB for a jump scare that’s as easy as plug, load, and go.

Fog that surprises.

Pair the Chauvet Hurricane 1000 Fog Machine with the Westek MLC4BC motion plug — motion triggers fog, lights, and ambiance automatically. Just plug in and let your haunted display come alive when guests approach.

Brilliant glow that lasts all night.

Ambient Glow Technology™ creates ULTRA-X grade stones, rocks, and pebbles that absorb sunlight and glow for up to 15+ hours after only 8–10 minutes of UV exposure. Perfect for lining walkways, highlighting garden beds, or adding a magical touch to Halloween displays and year-round outdoor décor.

Animated décor that comes alive

Bring your yard to life with app-controlled or motion-activated Halloween props that talk, move, or light up. From giant skeletons to creepy creatures, these pieces make every entrance unforgettable.

Tip of the Week:
