An Unofficial Ranking of the Largest Halloween Decorations Available This Year
The tallest scariest and goofiest decor on the market is here and we have thoughts
By Opheli Garcia Lawler Published on 9/26/2022 at 12:01 AM Edited - Courtesy of Home DepotHalloween is right around the corner, and if you want to ensure your house is the best decorated on your block, please delight in this incomplete ranking of the tallest Halloween decorations available online. Like Tinder, the first qualifier to make this list is height. I've excluded all decorations under 8 feet tall—I would not be frightened or intimidated by a 7-foot skeleton (real height 6 feet 8 inches, per the rules regulating the Tinderverse). While we're all for Home Depot's now infamous 12-foot tall, LCD-lit eyes skeleton, that's not the only freaky, looming bag of bones you can purchase this year. In fact, there is a delightful abundance of extremely large options for those who do not live in teensy apartments without yard space. And while several of the items below would not fit into my 800-square-foot living space, that doesn't mean you shouldn't get to enjoy them.10 10-Foot Jack-O-Lantern Head Reaper
This decoration loses points for being inflatable (too easy to assemble!) and not being the tallest inflatable on the list. It does earn points for its spooky factor, as anything with a human body and an inhuman head is a hallmark of horror. At $99, this isn't the most expensive item on the list, but it's not exactly budget decor, either.Buy at Home Depot Courtesy of Home Depot9 12-Foot Halloween Decoration Inflatable Ghost
Available on Amazon, this inflatable makes the list based on its height alone. However, to me, a 12-foot tall ghost is a lack of commitment to the holiday. For starters, when you are standing directly in front of it, all you will see is a white column. That's not particularly spooky. Also, the fringe on the arms of the ghost is giving me disco, not haunted house. But, if you're leaning into a more affordable, kitsch decor theme, a 12-foot tall ghost for $45.99 is definitely the right pick.Buy on Amazon Courtesy of Amazon8 12-Foot Giant-Sized Skeleton with LifeEyes
As the inspiration for the list and the zeitgeist around ultra large Halloween decorations, the 12- Skeleton, who I have named Mr. LifeEyes, is an instant classic. No one wants to have the third Mr. LifeEyes on the block, and the virality of Mr. LifeEyes means that more people are likely to have this lawn decor, which means your yard is less likely to stand out. Plus, the $300 skeleton is out of stock at many locations. You can get it on Amazon, but it's marked up twice its original price.Buy on AmazonThrillist TVHistory ofThe History of the McRibJoin the waitlist at Home Depot Courtesy of Home Depot7 12-Foot Giant-Sized Inferno Pumpkin Skeleton with LifeEyes
The fiery pumpkin twin of Mr. Life Eyes, Mr. Inferno, is also out of stock. That obviously dings a few points from the ranking. But it does seem a whole lot scarier than Mr. LifeEyes. First, there's the whole pumpkin instead of skull detail, indicating that Mr. Inferno is not just a very tall human's haunted remains, but rather it's the remains of some otherworldly creature. If it were in stock, it would retail for $349.50.Join the waitlist at Home Depot Courtesy of Home Depot6 8-Foot Tall Halloween Inflatable Infinity Mirror Reaper
I can't explain it, but this is the Dua Lipa of lawn decorations. This Infinity Reaper looks like she is about to burst into a disco-pop-ballad any moment. If there's a pop sensation in the haunted dimension, Infinity Reaper is a headlining star. This lawn ornament delivers spooky and glamorous energy, and at just 8 feet tall, it will even fit in smaller spaces. At $99, it's also a slightly more affordable option than some of these other super-sized inflatables.Buy at Home Depot Courtesy of Home Depot5 12-Foot Spellcasting Witch Coven
Talk about girl bosses. These three witches can create spine-chilling vibes on your lawn, all while reminding everyone that women can be scary too. Again, points for height, but a deduction for being inflatables. I think this would be a significantly cooler yard decoration if the witches were draped in way more ragged gauze and had winding tree branches for arms. I guess that would make this $349.50 blowup even more expensive, though.Buy at Hammacher Schlemmer Courtesy of Hammacher Schlemmer4 12-Foot Animated Hovering Witch Halloween
This is what I want from a 12-foot witch lawn decoration. It's animatronic, appears to be flying, and requires assembly. Her broom touches the ground while the ghoulish witch hovers above. This is everything you want out of a Halloween lawn decoration. The witch's head turns, she speaks from a spooky script, and her eyes flash at night. This creature is guaranteed to frighten your neighbors. The witch and the broom are available for $299.Buy at Home Depot Courtesy of Home Depot
