Halloween Witch Decorations

July 27th, 2009 · No Comments

You can use Halloween witch decorations to create a witches’ ball or coven meeting theme or just add a little human touch to all those vampires and ghosts. If you’re expecting nothing more than the plain old pint-sized standing or hanging witch dolls, though, you’re in for a surprise with today’s variety of witch décor.

Indoor Halloween witch decorations

If you’re working with a witch theme for your Halloween party, a good quality life-sized witch prop will do a lot. A simple standing or hanging witch prop, without sound or animation, can be for less than $50. If you really want to go all out, look for an animated talking witch prop.

Cheaper models go for less than $100, moderate high quality ones for around $250 and professional haunted house props can easily top $1000. In addition to life-sized models, witch dolls, posters, window clings and other Halloween witch decorations range in style from the friendly good witch variety to the scary Blair witch type.

Witch accessories

Besides the witches themselves, add some Halloween witch decorations to help your witches feel at home. Pointy black witches’ hats, flowing capes, witch shoes with curling toes and of course, brooms.

A few books of witches’ spells, tarot cards, crystal balls and other magical objects will help you witches get some work done, too. In addition to the traditional ravens and black cats, fill your house with other spooky animals like bats, owls, spiders, snakes, and lizards.

Lighten the mood a little with a crashing witch decoration (a flattened “crashed” witch you mount on your wall so only her back is visible). Use serving wear shaped like cauldrons and goblin hands and ornate goblets to serve your witch’s brew.

Outdoor Halloween witch decorations and scenes

Use heavy cardboard (or plywood, if you’re handy with a saw) to cut out the silhouette of a hunched over witch. Place her in front of a fogging cauldron. Add a few of her familiars, like black cats and ravens. Set up a fog machine and replace your porch light with a green light to add to the eerie atmosphere.

Put out a few extra cauldrons, possibly with a ghouls or goblins peeking over the edges. Give your garden witch a sister and hang her, mounted on her broom stick, from a nearby tree. Before you buy Halloween witch decorations for your yard, though, make sure they’re made for outdoor use.
