2019 Halloween Merchandise Review: Walmart

I’m sure I’m not the only one that has a love-hate relationship with Walmart. Too many reasonably-priced items right next to my groceries. It never turns out well.

And now they have Halloween stuff out, so there goes my next few paychecks.

Walmart’s Halloween selection is always pretty good. Nothing earth-shattering. You can find a lot of similar items elsewhere, but Walmart does have everything priced really well.

They have a really good selection of Nightmare Before Christmas items out this year, and since I use those mostly for my Christmas decorations, I hope I’m able to catch some sales on November 1.

You’ll also be able to find a wide assortment of inflatables, party supplies, jack o’ lanterns, costumes, home decor, props, and children’s books.

Although I said a little earlier that they have nothing earth-shattering, they do have a few items that they haven’t carried in previous years. Let’s get into my favorites.

Favorite Finds at Walmart

  1. Bone Lantern: This is one of the more unique items to see at Walmart. Most of the Halloween merchandise in stock is very similar to items found at any store, but this one is really unique. They have this bone version and another metallic version. I really liked the bone lantern the best.
  2. Dragon Skeleton: So everyone is branching out into the mermaid/unicorn/dragon skeleton thing this year. I really liked this version of a dragon skeleton. Super cute.
  3. Ghost Girl Dress: This is a very simple prop, but it would look really cool in a dark graveyard scene or hung with fishing line at the end of a dark hallway. Good job, Walmart.
  4. Assorted Body Parts: Walmart doesn’t usually do gory, so I was pleased to see this item at my local store.
  5. Cobra Skeleton: I’ve seen a lot of snake skeletons at local Halloween stores, but this is the first cobra I’ve seen. I like that it’s different.
  6. Talking Head: This guy is a little funny looking, but I thought he was still creepy. He does say some funny things, but it’s not too hokey for me.
  7. Parrot Skeleton: Like the cobra skeleton, I liked that this bird skeleton was different the the typical one seen in past years. Parrots are cool.
  8. Victorian Skeleton: I’m not one for cutesy Halloween decorations, but I just loved this little chick. She just stood out to me. I don’t know where I’d put her, but I’m thinking about getting her.

So check out Walmart’s selection the next time you go grocery shopping. I’m sure you’ll be able to find something that’ll benefit your holiday.
