Here’s our list of the best tech-related Halloween decorations

Freak out your friends with these top tech-related Halloween decorations

Halloween will be here before you know it and nothing is more fun — or potentially more stressful — than decorating your house for the occasion. Rather than going with the old school way of decorating with fake cobwebs and plastic spiders, we decided to bring you the best tech-related Halloween decorations that will guarantee to make your neighbors jealous and probably a bit spooked. So before you queue up your favorite scary movie, check out these terrifying high-tech decorations.

Lunging Zombie Reaper ($68)

Perfect for the front lawn, the lunging zombie reaper will scare everyone from little kids to grown adults. Featuring yellow LED eyes, bendable wire arms, and creepy sounds, this zombie jumps out at unsuspecting victims. Powered by four AA batteries or a UL adapter plug.

Virtual Halloween LED Projector Kit

Including an HD projector, a 60-inch by 40-inch screen with mounting, and over 15 scenes, the Virtual Halloween LED Projector Kit comes with everything you need to transform your home into a scary movie. Simply find a place to project eerie images and you are good to go. From killer pumpkins to life-like ghostly apparitions, the Halloween scenes are sure to frighten your friends.

As long as you own an Amazon Echo, this scary skill is free for you to use. This skill plays a continuous loop of scary, spooky, and frightening sounds. Perfect for your Halloween party or trick-or-treaters. Make sure you’ve enabled the skill and simply say, “Alexa, start Spooky Halloween Sounds.”

Gaseous Zombie Animated Fogger ($70)

Standing two feet tall, this animated zombie looks like he is pulling himself out of the ground, and when you least expect it he spits out fog from his decaying mouth. The hard-plastic frame under his shirt has an attached 110-volt motor that turns his head from side to side. The three-foot-long connector and hose attachment will fit on standard fog machines (not included). Simply stuff the sleeves with crumpled newspaper, hook up the hose, and get ready to freak out your friends.

The perfect décor for your desk or to hang on the wall, the Dungeon Corridor appears to be lined with torches that stretch on forever. A play on a classic infinity mirror, this corridor opens up to a dungeon, complete with little flickering torches (with three levels of brightness).

Haunted Moving Painting ($899)

If you are looking to splurge on your Halloween decorations the Haunted Moving Painting is for you. Watch as the picture in front of you seems to transform before your very eyes from a beautiful woman into a ghastly ghoul, or an innocent child morphs into a manic monster. The painting includes an HD display panel and video player, video of choice, and a hand-made frame, making this a one-of-a-kind piece.

Drone Ghost

This one’s a bit of a DIY, but if you have a drone, you can transform it into a drone ghost, clown, ghoul, really any scary creature you can think of. You can either buy a creature or make your own — cheesecloths make great ghosts — to drape over your drone. Nothing will be funnier than seeing the look on your friends’ faces as a ghost comes flying straight toward them.

Forget waiting! Here’s all the CES 2022 tech you can buy right now

CES is chock-full of new product announcements every year, but unfortunately, most of them are just that: Announcements. Tech companies come out, loudly proclaim that their latest gadget will transform your life, and then quietly mutter that it won't actually be available until some yet-t0-be-determined point in the next year. As such, most of what we see at CES in a given year ends up being annoyingly unattainable.

But thankfully, not everyone at CES shows up with a booth full of flashy promises. A rare few of them come to the show with products that are ready to ship right away, immediately after they're revealed. So as a tip of our hat to those thoughtful few who go the extra mile to provide us the instant gratification we crave, we've rounded up all the best CES gear that you can buy right now. Everything on this list will ship before the end of January, if not sooner. Enjoy!
