Best Halloween Toys Lights and Decorations

Favorite Halloween Gadgets 2008

We’ve scoured a ton of Halloween decorations and gear and hand-picked a few that really stand out from the crowd. We’ve got the perfectly creepy decorations for your cubicle, Halloween party and … your iPhone. Read on!

Horror Halloween Handrest
Do monsters get full right before finishing the last bite or is it that you simply can’t be a member of the clean plate club when you wait for your victims in pitch black? Whatever the case, this clever handrest is certain to amuse and possibly disgust your coworkers and family. Designed to be the perfect ergonomic size for using a mouse or keyboard, it can also double as a Halloween prop. But you really want to get a reaction at work don’t you? See Horror Halloween Handrest.

Spooky Shadow Light
Not earth-shattering but we’re a sucker for anything that reminds us of Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow. You’ll definitely want a dark room for this as the light is not too powerful. But it’s great to watch as the ghosts, spiders and other nightmares go spinning across the walls. Just don’t get this mixed up with Junior’s usual revolving lights with all the friendly animals, ok? See Spooky Shadow Light

Halloween Lighted Spider Garland
These are great because they’re unusual. Instead of the usual pumpkins or just regular christmas-lights-turned-orange, this swarm of creepy arachnids are lit by the included 50 orange lights on a 9′ string. They’re happy to scare visitors and children both indoors and outdoors. See Halloween Spider Garland Light Set.

Webcaster Gun
Ever wanted to fill your home with professional-looking cobwebs? The Shadows Edge has you – and your household – covered with the Webcaster Gun. Aided by Webcaster Stick refills and a typical air compressor, the Webcaster Gun will throw realistic spiderweb strands wherever you point it. Up to 12 feet away! The Sticks come in 6 varieties. Unfortunately this appears only to be available at retail in select states. Watch the video this thing is very cool. From what we can tell this is not yet available online but in this case don’t let that deter you. Guests will never have seen anything like what this can provide. See Webcaster Gun.

USB Pumpkin Light String
Brando peddles a lot of useless crap but these are worth checking out. A string of 8 glowing (ok, blinking) pumpkins that will plug easily into your computer and instantly provide a spooky vibe. Anything that gets friendly with the computer always has a place in our heart, especially for Halloween. Available only from Brando online.

Coffin Fogger
This skeleton is boiling mad and pushing his way out of a 10″ coffin. Perfect size for a serving table or countertop to add a bit of Halloween flair to the festivities. Just add water and the mist will start pouring from the coffin while also changing colors from underneath. See Coffin Fogger Skeleton
online, also available at Target (if you can still find any).

Just One More: Crazy Pumpkin App (Free App for iPhone and iPod Touch)

This is a popular and fun free application on iTunes. It shows a glowing pumpkin. OK, no surprise there. The look is very nice with an effective animated glow. Swipe the screen and ‘carve’ new eyes, nose and mouth. Shake it and get a random scary sound effect and change the color. This app looks even better in the dark – make sure you have it on hand for halloween parties! Get Crazy Pumpkin (iTunes).
