Conjure the creep, make magic and summon the mysterious, my pretty! While it’s always a treat to shop for new Halloween decor each year, it’s even more delightful when you invest in bits and baubles that are fit to fright for years to come.

Save up for a single item that you know you’ll look forward to pulling out at the beginning of each Halloween season. Not only does this technique promote money well spent, but it adds a sentimental touch to your haunting decor that increases with each passing season.

The time to haunt your home for All Hallows' Eve is here, and we’re reaching in our grimoire to treat you to the most-charmed shopping of the season. Even better? All of our fretful finds are crafted from high-quality materials and promise to bring strife, horror and scary-chic style to your home for many Halloweens to come.

Cozy up your sofa or kiddo’s bed with the boo-ti-ful, best-selling Gus the Ghost pillow from Pottery Barn. The plush poltergeist is equal parts eerie and adorable, featuring a huggable white body adorned with two inky oval eyes. Style the all-seeing accent pillow with a black-and-white throw for a contemporary, neutral look or pair it with a pumpkin-orange knit blanket for a traditional Halloween color palette.

This embroidered tea towel covers all the creepy-cute bases with flying colors. The burgundy cotton towel boasts gold stitching along each side and a charming howl-o-ween motif of three ghoulish pets looking for treats. Display this darling number in your kitchen, powder room or bar cart to celebrate the howl-o-day.

Conjure spellbinding style for your dining table or entry console with this dramatic fortune teller village house. The ominous home is part of a collection that boasts a star-dusted midnight finish.

Give your covered porch a grim makeover with an infestation of ghoulish and glowing light-up hanging ghosts. The floating foes greet guests with eerie outstretched arms visible beneath a gauzy fabric. Warm white LED bulbs illuminate their bodiless forms for an unsettling ambiance. Snag a single ghost to haunt your post, or invest in one in each size to create the ultimate creeptastic display.

Make no bones about it — these terra cotta hanging skeletons from West Elm are a must-snag accessory for your fireplace mantel or bookcase this Halloween. The earthenware danglers are crafted from several pieces (read: bones) and forged from quality terracotta to bring rich color and texture to your Halloween vignette. Choose between the classic orange terracotta finish or a smoky charcoal hue to complement your holiday decor. Or, our advice? Treat yourself to one of each color and recreate this contemporary set-up at home.
