I love all Halloween decorations, especially ones that
move. My favorite one is an inflatable cauldron with a witch’s legs sticking
out and kicking back and forth!
Another one is a giant inflatable
haunted tree. Shaking and glowing, the tree
extends its branch-claws to reach out and grab you.
A third creative design is a witch riding a bike … with black-purple-orange spoked wheels spinning in the wind.
Even a decoration that doesn’t actually move – a red-eyed black horse pulling a haunted carriage driven by white masked ghoul – suggests a scary ride you wouldn’t want to take!
I also enjoy Halloween decorations that don’t move. In contrast to their animated counterparts, some “still” decorations seem a bit lazy. I saw a huge inflatable black cat, for example, flopped on its stomach with its legs sticking out to the side. Most menacing inflatable cat decorations are poised to pounce, not to nap. And what about ghosts sitting in chairs? How does a ghost even sit in a chair -- wouldn’t it just fall through? Finally, the skeletons lying down on ground – not posed like they are climbing out of graves – crack me up. They look like they’re taking a snooze. But how are skeletons tired? Aren't they dead?

On the other hand, when I see a scarecrow sitting in a
chair I understand why – after all, it stands all day and night watching over a
field. The scarecrow who seems to need a break the most is the one I’ve seen napping in a hammock.
