Our Animated Halloween Haunted Magic Mirror appears quite ordinary at first glance. Stop to touch up your makeup, however, and the ghastly reaper that lives inside this mirror comes to life—moving, talking, and begging to be let out of his lair.

We are looking forward to debuting this mirror at our Halloween gathering. The ghost in the mirror is easily seen in the mirror and the voice very clear when it moans and speaks. Yet another crowning jewel in our Grandin Road Halloween collection!
Pros: Quality, Appearance, Durability
Guests won’t believe their eyes as our Velma and Evander Interactive Talking Halloween Busts begin to move and carry on four different conversations with one another! A motion sensor activates their flashing red eyes, while mouths move and heads turn to look at one another.
Made of durable plastic
Detailed to create the lifelike appearance of stone

What a fun addition to our Halloween home display! The busts are of substantial quality (size, weight, operation, sound), and look great! Don't be fooled by the cheap copies in the hobby store -- these are the real deal!!!
Pros: Quality, Appearance, Durability
Our Striking Hand swats with fury! Shake up your guests when you place our motion-activated vampire hand next to your candy bowl or in your creepiest centerpiece. Gnarled hand is crafted from molded plastic, and made "complete" with a velour sleeve and ruffled shirt cuff.
Motion activation makes this hand extra menacing
Molded plastic hand, velour sleeve, ruffled cuff

Ordered two of these to put in our large Halloween Candy Bin. We were overjoyed to see not only that it works well and looks good - but found that we can adjust the pose and angle of the hand. Another great Halloween item -- please keep them coming Grandin Road!
Pros: Quality, Appearance, Durability, just plain fun
Picture this: you enter a dark chamber and suddenly this sinister Haunted Ash Urn lights up with a ghostly face and utters frightful phrases. Whether you display it alone or with other frightening decorative pieces, an encounter with this faux carved-stone specter is sure to make partygoers go to pieces.
Motion activated and sure to spook your guests
Crafted from durable plastic

We chose the Urn to add to our collection of unique and interesting items to enjoy on Halloween. We were expecting something good (because it comes from Grandin Road), but we got something GREAT. We love how it looks and sound quality is good - voice is very clear. We put it under a black light and love the effect. Can't wait to show it off at our Halloween gatherings!
Pros: Appearance, Quality, Durability, sound quality

These are sturdy, well made and will last for many years to come. I was so pleased with the orange set, that I also purchased a set in green. I will use them when decorating - but am planning to keep my candle tapers and extra batteries in them while they are on display. We are huge Halloween lovers -- so we have a LOT going on!
Pros: Appearance, Quality, Durability
After plucking eerie edibles from our Spooky Witch's Hands Serving Tray, your guests are sure to give this handy display a round of applause.

Saw last year and GR was sold out before I got around to ordering! This year I was determined not to miss out and anxiously awaited the new Halloween Haven pages hoping to find it again! WoW!! This bowl is gorgeous -- beautiful detail and great quality. This will delight everyone who sees it. Thank you Grandin Road for another winner!

Handcrafted from solid hardwoods
Left untreated, the gently weathered finish will further evolve as the seasons pass
Applying urethane annually helps to preserve the look
Graceful rolled arms, a wide seat, and sophisticated arched back

Beautiful finish on this bench. Assembled in 20 minutes. Great size - and the dark red color is rich and looks lovely in our garden.
Pros: Quality, Appearance, Durability
Our Devon Trash Can is so attractive; no one will ever suspect what’s inside. Plus it can double as a storage container. Just like our Devon
planters, it looks like wood but is constructed of low-maintenance polyethylene.
Carefully crafted from double-walled polyethylene
Planter looks like wood but doesn't chip, crack, or peel
Simply hose off to clean
Overall:
Attractive, Sturdy and Nice Enough for INSIDE!,

Love this Trash Can. You will have to get up real close to realize this is not a wooden trash container. Garbage bags fit snugly and neatly into place and the lid covers the edges for a nice clean appearance. Super-easy to clean - Great Size!!.
I'm thinking about buying a couple more for around the pool.

Nothing says, “welcome to our haunted house" quite like our Life-size Bernard Butler Halloween Figure and his talking raven. The two engage in conversation, while the raven’s wings flap and eyes light up. An authentic-looking lighted candelabra adds an extra measure of haunting character.

Love to own him. But worried about the motion sensor problems that all reviews complained about. Has there been any improvements since last year?
We've had Bernard for about a month, and he has been in the living room awaiting our Halloween guests. We have no complaints with Bernard's performance. We have not experienced any issues with the motion sensor. We are very pleased with our purchase.

Is Bernard Buttler motion sensored? Can he be sent UPS or does it have to be trucked it?
Bernard is motion sensored - and comes with its own adaptor. I received mine via UPS but it could easily be shipped via USPS / Fedex as well. We've had Bernard on display in our living room for a month now -- Can't wait for him to greet out guests on Halloween!

On the set of two halloween books
are they two of the same design?
One set in a single color has the same design (large & small). Each color has a different design. I have an orange set and a green set.
