Haunted mansion vibes = activated with the help of some vintage portraits. These 3D photos actually appear to change as you pass 'em, which will *really* freak some folks out.

This book is packed with fun games asking players to complete a series of spooky challenges based on urban legends. Play if you dare!

As Shakespeare once said, "Double double toil and trouble/Fire burn and cauldron bubble." Little known fact: He was actually talking about how you should serve up your cocktails at Halloween parties. (For legal reasons this is a joke.) But really, grab some booze and mix up your favorite drink in a cauldron just like this one for all the witchy vibes.

Set some major vibes with these floating candle string lights inspired by the same ones found in the Great Hall from Harry Potter. These charmed luminaries add a bewitched look to your party and can be paired with a remote control to set the mood.

Perfect for your cocktails, these ultra-slow melting ice skulls will make a bone-chilling addition to your home bar.

Keep your cans bone-chillingly cold and your hands warm with these Halloween-themed koozies. They help to maintain the Halloween-y vibes and are a good way for guests to keep track of their drinks.

If you're going for minimal decorations but still wanna keep things moody, put out a bunch of these dark, spiral candlesticks. It's the surest way to achieve the Addams Family aesthetic in an instant.

Your candle sticks are gonna need a holder, right? Might as well double down with the festive decorations and opt for a skull to hold onto your burning candles.

It's the "would you rather" board game you've really been waiting for. You know how it goes—pick two spine-chilling scenarios and have fun picking your poison.

Festive caution tape isn't usually a go-to for most parties, but when it comes to Halloween, it's the perfect addition for walls, doors, or other surfaces. It's also perf for blocking off those rooms you don't want guests to go into—but, like, in a fun and on-theme way.

Before your guests enter, make them spin the wheel to learn their haunted fate. Prompts range from "No treats coming your way" to "Good news on the way." Let's just hope for the latter.

Sorry to break it to you, but there was no party if no pictures were taken. No worries, though, just tape this giant spider web poster to your living room wall to provide the perfect backdrop for everyone’s 'grams.

Made with water-tight terracotta clay, this skull party bucket will show that you're really into the spooky spirit.

Ring toss is pretty self-explanatory. It seems like a nice, innocent game, but once you add the spirit of competition and some Halloween-themed boozy drinks...well, there's no telling where the night will lead.

If you want for things to get real spooky, trade in those lamps and annoying overhead lights for ~ambient lighting~ and glow sticks. Hand them out to your guests as they arrive and watch your favorite ghouls and witches light up the night.

Everyone has a worse fear. For some, it may be spiders, and for others, it may be getting kicked off their parents' health insurance. When four fear cards are placed face up, you'll secretly rank them on your scare card (and guess how your fellow players will rank them as well).

Turn your home into Hogwarts (aka the Halloween party destination of everyone's dreams) by hanging witch hats from the ceiling. It's the perfect way to decorate your home while also living out your Hermione Granger fantasies.

If you were thinking of having any fresh flowers at your halloween party, think again, because your florals need to be as dark and dead as the holiday itself. The fake stuff may be lacking the traditional aroma of a real flower, but put a fragrant fall candle next to it and you (and your guests) won't even know the difference.
