Shop for the spookiest props for your Halloween party

With jack-o-lanterns, scary masks, skeleton-themed décor and funky headgear, Halloween décor and props have populated markets across

NCR

in the run-up to the festival. The festival has gained popularity over the last few years with many people decorating their houses and kids going trick-or-treating, especially in Gurgaon.

Given their spooky appeal, skeletons or skull-themed masks and décor items are always the most popular. Smaller props are available from anywhere between Rs 200 and Rs 600. There are larger, full-length ghost and

skeleton

props that can go over Rs 1000 easily. Ready-made artificial jack-o-lanterns are available here unlike in the west, where people make traditional jack-o-lanterns using large pumpkins. Jack-o-lantern-shaped baskets that are used by kids while trick-or-treating are available for over Rs 250, while

jack-o-lantern

themed lamps range anywhere from Rs 500 to Rs 900.

Among masks and headgear, old favourites like devil, witch and pirate are popular this year too, with each item costing anywhere between Rs 150-500. Sellers say the demand for these items begins a week before Halloween and the two days prior to the festival are usually the busiest. Costumes and masks associated with pop culture such as popular shows and films are not that easily available in the markets though, and revellers say online is the best place to look for those items.
