14 New Halloween Arrivals at Costco That Will Likely Sell Out Fast

Costco's Halloween section is fully stocked, and this year's lineup leans cozier than usual. This is good news if you'd rather stretch your Costco budget across a dozen small wins than blow it on one giant skeleton.

Our roundup runs from $18.99 pajamas to a 9.75-foot glowing arch. A few standouts: a BOO light-up letter set that undercuts Anthropologie's by more than $100, an eight-pack of kitchen towels for half what two cost at Williams Sonoma, and a resin dog greeter that comes in three different breeds.

Shopping seasonal items early is one of the best Costco hacks to keep in mind, since Costco's seasonal stock is famously finite. Once it's gone, it's gone until next fall.

Price: $84.99

Skip the front-door wreath swap this year and just hang Jack Skellington. The 30-inch wreath carries 50 multi-colored LEDs with steady and twinkle settings, plus a timer that runs six hours on and 18 hours off, so nobody has to remember to unplug it at bedtime.

Three "D" batteries come in the box, and it's rated for indoor and covered outdoor use.

Price: $179.99

If you're going to have one big scare in the yard, make it count. A motion sensor wakes this 7.5-footer as trick-or-treaters approach: the arms jerk, the LCD eyes dart, and the mouth moves in sync with some unsettling audio. Metal frame, tattered fabric costume, four ground stakes included.

Spirit Halloween's similarly sized 7 Ft 1 In Pumpkin Punisher Animatronic runs $349.99, which is over double Costco's sale price.

Price: $329.99

This is the photo-op piece. Standing 9.75 feet tall and 150 inches wide, the arch is packed with 1,730 twinkling LEDs arranged into glowing jack-o'-lanterns and drifting ghosts, and it comes with 12 lawn stakes to hold the whole thing down.

Fair warning: it weighs 51 pounds, requires assembly, and needs an outlet. Budget an afternoon.

Price: $52.99

Here's the best value on this list. Each of the three laser-cut wooden letters hides a little Halloween scene inside, lit by warm LEDs that throw a soft glow across a mantel or entry table. They stand roughly 11.8 inches tall, and the six AA batteries are included.

Anthropologie's Boo Halloween Light-Up Wood Mantel Letters list at $174, but is currently marked down to $121.80. Costco's set is $52.99, no sale required.

Price: $69.99

Not everything on the porch has to be scary. This 13-inch high-fired ceramic pumpkin is individually hand-painted by artisans in Mexico, with a double glaze that keeps the colors saturated season after season. At 15 pounds, it isn't blowing over in an October windstorm.

Members rate it 4.9 stars across more than 120 reviews. Shopper Peterzoner said: "Beautiful vibrant colors and shape is just the right size I need. I could leave it out all year long."

Price: $23.99

The scent notes here are doing real work: velvety pumpkin and slow-roasted squash layered with creamy maple butter, green cardamom, and pomander. It's a two-wick, nine-ounce soy and paraffin blend poured in the USA, with about 20 hours of burn time. The ceramic pumpkin vessel is decor on its own once the wax is gone.

Price: $89.99

Jim Shore collectors, this one moves fast. Hello Kitty is dressed as a black cat and perched in a carved jack-o'-lantern covered in Shore's signature rosemaling patterns, all hand-painted on stone resin. It stands nearly 15 inches tall, weighs close to seven pounds, and the pumpkin glows in the dark.

Price: $74.99

Dog people, this is your entryway piece. The hand-painted resin greeter comes as a Doodle, a Frenchie, or a Cocker Spaniel, each one is in a witch's hat, with textured fur detailing and a sturdy base. It's about 26 inches tall and fine for a porch as long as it's covered.

Shopper Rissa_Nichole said: "Purchased the Frenchie. It's super cute. It looks heavy, but it's actually light. Would definitely purchase another one."

Price: $82.99

Two holidays, one purchase. Now that's the kind of math we like. The bear wears a Santa suit wrapped in a five-light LED string, and a removable ghost costume slips over the top for October. Come December, pull the sheet off and swap in the Santa hat. It runs on two AA batteries with a six-hours-on, 18-hours-off timer.

Price: $29.99

These 22-inch square pillows feature a chunky French knot texture on the face, haunted houses, witch's boots, and the insert is included, which is where a lot of "cheaper" pillow deals quietly fall apart. One note from the fine print: they ship vacuum-wrapped, so give them a day or two to fluff back out.

Price: $26.99

Under $30 for a hand-hooked accent rug with memory foam padding is a legitimately good number. It measures 22 by 38 inches, which is the right size for a kitchen sink, hallway, or entry, and it's OEKO-TEX certified.

Shopper GinaBina said: "The fox rug is really cute and comfortable to stand on. It doesn't slide around on my tile floor and has a nice plushness to it."

Price: $19.99

Eight generously sized 18-by-28-inch cotton-blend towels in a mix of prints, yarn-dyes, and solids, built at 369 GSM to actually absorb something during holiday cooking. That's $2.50 per towel.

Williams Sonoma's Halloween Dog Towels, Set of 2 cost $39.95, which is twice the price for a quarter of the towels.

Price: $18.99

Under $19 for three pieces, this short-sleeve henley top, shorts, and full-length pants works out to about $6.33 apiece. Pick from Joyful Pumpkins in black, Halloween Icons in purple, or Dress Up Ghosts in orange, sizes small through XL.

It's a lightweight knit with an elastic waistband and pockets, it's online only, and members give it 4.9 stars.

Price: $39.99

Two dozen 2.2-ounce caramel corn cones in Halloween-themed wrappers, which makes this the rare trick-or-treat option that doesn't feel like a bag of leftover candy. At $1.67 a cone, it also covers class parties and office desks without much thought, and with more than 1,700 member reviews, it has a track record.

Costco's Halloween lineup rewards shoppers who move early, and this year the best values sit well below the animatronic tier. The towels, the monster, and those BOO letters all beat their specialty-retailer equivalents outright. If you're stocking up on seasonal decor, using one of the best cash back credit cards is a smart way to make your money go further.
