As the highest-quality standard-definition (SD) projector kit on the market, it packs everything you need to create stunningly original displays for Halloween, Christmas, and celebrations year round.

Twist and Seal "Safety" Pack  - Keeps Cords Safe

www.twistandseal.com
If you are putting up Halloween decorations or making your own "Haunted House."
Twist and Seal have a new "Pool Safety Pack", but it's also relevant for Halloween in that keeps water away from electrical cord connections and comes with three safety products - Cord Dome for power strips, Maxx for large cords, and Cord Protect for regular cords. This pack helps keeps the whole family safe by sealing off outside cords. About $40.

3. Pyro Pets
A candle that when the wax melts, a spooky skeleton appears...  about $30
A sinister silhouette starts to emerge. Just a hint. A flickering shadow looming beneath the surface. Then, as the wax begins to melt, a menacing flame-scorched creature rears its demonic head, with sharpened teeth and fire blazing in its eyes.
Slowly but surely the cute geometric kitten exterior is eroded away and all that remains is a haunting metallic skeleton stood ominously in a pool of wax. So why not sit this malevolent moggie up on your mantelpiece and bring a little evil ambiance into your home.

 
4. ICEMULE

www.icemulecoolers.com
A complete cooler that you can carry around on your back as you walk the streets trick or treating. Or for bringing food or drink to your Halloween Party.


5. Battery-operated Light Up Jack-o-Lanterns

Availabe for under $10 at discount and department stores
Safe and affordable  no candles inside your pumpkin
