There are two different types of Halloween moms. Come All Hallow's Eve, the first type of mom simply pops on some cat ears and hands out fun-sized candy bars until 9 p.m., and that's that. While that is all fine and dandy, this Halloween party essentials list is for the other type of mom. That's the type of mom who really gets into the spirit of the holiday and goes all out with a full-on costume (something elaborate like a Victorian queen complete with a brocade gown and powdered wig), plenty of tricks and treats, and a home that is decorated so spookily that some of the younger neighbor kids won't actually step foot on the property for the entire month of October. She may even be so bold as to host a raging Halloween party with friends, family, and neighbors.
That's where we step in. We want to make sure any Halloween home decor is up to our spooky standards, and so we've found all the scariest items to decorate your home and yard with this October. The only things that aren't frightening about this list are the price tags.
