I've combined the funny and spooky, alongside value for money, to make your home the talk of the town this Halloween.
Green Witch Legs Graver Breakers
Look, a witch has fallen from her broom! Witches are the quintessential representation of this day. That's why these iconic witch legs are a staple in Halloween decorations in Australia.
If your house has one, these will look equally hilarious on a huge flower pot or your chimney. You can even superglue them on the wall or roof to make it look like she crashed into your home. Or if you're feeling particularly gory, leave them on the ground, douse some red paint, and have toy animals gather around them. The possibilities are endless.

Zombie Hand Toilet Frightener
When I was young, I had a fear of a snack coming through the drainage and up the toilet, biting the person doing number 2! Since then, I have always had this subconscious fear that something would pop out of the loo while I was using it. Time to turn that memory into a Halloween prank!
Turn your kids' and guests' innocent restroom break into a shock-horror moment with this toilet seat topper. At first glance, it looks so realistic. Of course, they will laugh once they realise the bloody water and the hand are not real ... but will still feel the tingles while using the loo … because what if?

Screaming Skull Flower Bed Decoration
Next to witches, skeletons steal the show when it comes to Halloween decorations in Australia and all around the world. They've got this legendary status as the OG symbol of death, tracing back to ancient traditions like the Celtic festival called Samhain. That's when the line between the living and the dead gets hazy.
So, why not install this funny screaming skull in your flower bed for next Halloween? Remember, it's all about embracing the spirit of upholding traditions, even if they're a bit … skeletal.

Witch Hit A Tree
We all love making fun of these evil witches on Halloween, don't we? Maybe she needs prescription glasses or you should've turned the lights on. But good riddance, because she failed to get the children!
If you don't have a tree in your yard, you can install this funny Halloween decor on a lamp post or a pillar on your porch. Don't forget to leave her broom on the ground - as they say, the devil is in the details.

Microwaved Head
When I was a younger, I happened to see the movie Superstition and witnessed the iconic head in the microwave scene. For months, my mum couldn't make me eat microwave meals.
I'm not saying you should deliberately buy this to scare your child from eating microwave meals. But this is one of the most popular Halloween decorations in Australia The idea is so sinister - there are even bloody finger prints denoting a diabolical deed. The creeps will surely linger for quite some time.

They're like the VIPs of spooky decorations, reminding us that there's a bone-chilling side to the festivities beneath all the costumes and candy.
Plus, they're the ultimate conversation starters – nothing like a good ol' skeleton to spark a Halloween-night discussion about the afterlife, right?

Sunflower Skulls
Continuing on the skeleton train, I highly recommend these obnoxious sunflower skulls as a DIY project to do with the kids.
If you have time to make these yourself, grab some skulls and plastic sunflowers, glue them together, and presto! You've crafted a spooky butler ready to welcome the trick-or-treat crew.
It's a perfect activity to jazz up your Halloween vibes, and the bonus? Creating unforgettable memories with the little ones.

Squeaking Rats
No matter how many times I watch Ratatouille, no one can't make me like rats. They're so scary! And I'm not the only one; for sure, one person you know can't stand these rodents. So, what better way to make them scream and run? Put these squishy, squeaky toy rats on their slipper or in the sink for a maximum jump scare. You can even set one to "drop" onto your guests' hands from above.

Giant Inflatable Window Ghost
Last on our list of hilarious Halloween decorations in Australia is the massive inflatable window ghost. This bad boy gives off the illusion of busting through the glass, but hold up – it's no Casper vibe. It's lit up from within, exposing a seriously vengeful ghost. The coolest part? These inflatables groove with the wind, making this ticked-off ghost seem set to take a windy plunge.
