Thanks to COVID-19, Halloween parties and trick-or-treating door-to-door are likely off the table this year. But you can still go all out with decorations—and it’s not too late for a few new additions if you’ve been hauling out the same ones year after year.

Whether you’re looking to keep things spooky and simple or longing to create a ghastly outdoor display to make your home stand out from every other house on the block, there are more options than ever from which to choose. With so many choices, however, it can be difficult to sort through them all to find the best ones. So, we’ve done some of that work for you.

Below are some of the best indoor and outdoor decorations we’ve found, and they’re all available to buy online from Canadian online shopping outlets.

1. A Halloween light show: Shades of Halloween Jack-O'-Lantern

You can never go wrong with a few extra strings of lights for a holiday. These are larger, globe-shaped incandescent light bulbs that produce a soft, spooky-looking light. A single six-meter string has 35 lights, and you can string up to 15 of them together if you’re really looking to go all out.
