Halloween Costumes, Decorations & Props: The Ultimate Haunt Guide
Halloween Costumes, Decorations & Props
Everything you need to turn your house into the scariest one on the street, and your crew into the creepiest costumes at the party.
Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, which means bigger parties, longer trick or treat runs and a lot more people walking past your front door. This guide walks you through the whole haunt in seven steps: the props that jump out at people, the lights that make the house glow, the webs and gore, the costumes for every age, and the lollies to hand out at the end.
Every product below is in stock now. The Base Warehouse has more than 680 Halloween lines online, from $1.80 spider webs to full size animatronics, plus a huge range of Halloween costumes and Halloween decorations in all 8 stores across New South Wales.
Heads up: the big animatronics sell out first every year, and most stores only get a few of each. If one catches your eye, grab it now.
The 6 step haunt checklist
Work through it in order and your house will be the one the whole street talks about.
Scare them at the front door
Your front yard is the first thing every trick or treater sees, so spend the money here. Motion activated animatronics do the work for you: one on the porch, one hanging from a tree and a giant spider on the fence. Browse the full Halloween props range for more.
Light it up after dark
Halloween happens after sunset, and a dark house gets skipped. A neon sign in the front window and a coffin infinity light by the door will stop people in the street. Battery operated means no cords across the path. See every option in Halloween lights.
Web everything, then bleed on it
Cheapest trick in the book: stretch spider web over everything and add a spider big enough to make people flinch. Then finish with bloody window clings and a glowing skeleton. The spiders and webs range starts from $1.80, and there are plenty more Halloween decorations to finish the look.
Slasher clowns, fire skeletons, velvet capes and latex masks. Kids, womens, mens and toddler sizes in store and online.
Shop Halloween costumesKids Halloween costumes
Buy the size up if they will wear a jumper underneath, and pick something they can walk a whole street in. Shop by age: toddler, boys and girls Halloween costumes.
Adult Halloween costumes
Adult costume parties sell out of the good sizes first, so lock yours in early. Pick a base costume, then level it up with a mask, lenses or fake blood from the next section. Browse womens Halloween costumes and mens costumes.
Gore it up
This is where a $30 costume starts looking like a $300 one. Blood red lenses, a latex mask and a spray of fake blood change everything. Grab the extras in Halloween makeup, masks, contact lenses and costume accessories.
Costume contact lenses are a regulated medical device, not a toy. Wash your hands, never share lenses, follow the wear time on the pack and take them out before you sleep. If your eyes feel sore, red or blurry, take them out and see an optometrist. Not recommended for kids.
Gummy body parts, zombie eyeballs, Warheads and Trolli, plus the buckets to carry it all home.
Shop Halloween lolliesStock the lolly bowl
Nothing kills a good haunt like running out of lollies at 7pm. Budget for more kids than last year, and buy share bags, not singles. See the full Halloween lollies range and trick or treat buckets.
