Halloween props take many forms. They can be figures, lights, scary objects or special effects. In fact, they can even be lighted figures! One of the most popular props for Halloween is a figure of a witch or jack o'lantern made entirely of of orange or purple LED lights strung on a wire frame.

When combined with the right lighting and sound effects, a smoke machine can be an effective decorating addition to any Halloween party.
