The Best 2022 Halloween Decorations At Target
The season of spook is almost upon us, and what better way is there to celebrate than to decorate? Target's Halloween Shop is full of amazing decorations to frighten and thrill your guests. Or, if scaring them isn't your vibe, there are also many sleek decor items to reflect your Halloween spirit while keeping it classy.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution states there's really no wrong time to start decorating for Halloween, so enthusiasts can rejoice! However, to avoid getting the stink-eye from your neighbors who are not as enthusiastic about the holiday, most people agree it's best to wait until after October 1 to don the deathly decor. The good news is, there's nothing stopping you from hitting the shelves at Target to get the best Halloween items and work on your design plan today. As you shop, consider adding a wide variety of decorations to create an interesting display where all the trick-or-treaters will want to stop on the big night.
Spiderweb lights
The 60-bulb Incandescent Spider Web Light is a haunting addition to your indoor or outdoor decor. Three black spider webs feature orange bulbs, each with one spooky green glowing spider. At just $15 for each 70-inch long string, you can connect several to light up your porch or use them around your buffet table to add interest to your Halloween dinner party.
Spiders have long been used in Halloween decor. Sure, they're creepy on their own, but it's their association with witches that solidifies their spot as one of the symbols of this holiday, according to Ehrlich. As the story goes, spiders and witches were evil companions and if you were unfortunate enough to have a spider fall into your lamp, where it was killed by the fire, it meant a witch was nearby. Of course, this is a silly superstition. Still, maybe keep spiders away from your candles. You know, just in case.
Grass and Protea Wreath
Add a subtle, yet spooky, addition to your Halloween home decor with the Grass and Protea Wreath by Threshold. This 19-inch round wreath is the perfect way to add texture to your Halloween display with its flowy black grass and spiky protea. The foundation of this piece is a black metal ring that features a loop to make it easy to hang on your wall or door. Although it looks natural, the materials are synthetic, so for the small investment of $20, you can place it in storage after each season and use it for many years.
Although it might not seem possible, black grass really exists. Black Mondo grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens') is a perennial ornamental grass that grows well in warmer climates, according to the U of A Division of Agriculture. So, not only can you purchase a wreath featuring faux black grass, you can actually grow some to complement it if you live somewhere warm.
Light up black cat
Target's Hyde & EEK! brand has some great offerings this season, and the Light Up Cat Novelty Sculpture Light is one of the best. Suitable for indoor or outdoor spaces, this kitty is more fun than scary with its bright yellow eyes and little pink nose. The black cat is 17 inches tall and contains 20 bulbs. It can be placed anywhere an outlet is available, so you do not have to deal with batteries. Place it on your porch or add it to your mantle for a fun addition to your Halloween decor.
Black cats may be associated with Halloween, but it is all just for fun, states Oakland Veterinary Referral Services. There is certainly nothing inherently evil about black cats unless you think adorable toe beans and gentle purrs are evil — and who could believe such a thing? In fact, in some cultures, black cats are considered good luck, so add some positive vibes to your Halloween decor and bring home this cute kitty.
Inflatable Archway
If you want to make a bold statement for your trick-or-treaters, the Inflatable Archway by Hyde & EEK! is the perfect way to greet your guests. At almost 11 feet tall and over 8 feet wide, this decorative item is designed to look like the entrance to a castle — or perhaps a dungeon — spooky! With scroll accents on top, skulls, and jack-o'-lanterns, the large archway greets visitors with the message, "Welcome Mortals." This product comes with ground stakes and tie downs to keep it secure, and must be placed where there is access to an electrical outlet.
With proper care, holiday inflatables can last for years, according to Home Depot. When it's time to take down your decorative items for storage, let them deflate and clean them with a damp cleaning cloth and a bit of dishwashing soap. Then, rinse the inflatable with clean water and allow it to dry to avoid mold while it's in storage. Once dry, put all related items, including electrical cords and tie-down materials, with the rolled-up inflatable in a sealed container so it's ready to put back up next year.
Small decorative items
The Krazy Coupon Lady states Target has over 200 types of Halloween Decor for your outdoor displays, and that doesn't even include all the indoor items. The Hyde & Eek! brand has Halloween decor to fit any budget, with many items available for less than $10. Puppy, mouse, and piglet skeleton Halloween props are adorable at only $5 each. This 9-foot roll of white gauze material is also five bucks and can be used to add a spooky touch anywhere in your home. You can even find this cute set of four foam tombstones, each with a different inscription, for only $10.

Whether your goal is to scare your guests or you just want to enjoy the beginning of the season of festivities, this store has something for you.
