Every haunted house needs a resident, and this black nylon bat is ready to move in. Its black body and red eyes give it that just-flew-out-of-the-attic feel. It’s the kind of fake bat that makes guests glance twice when they walk through the door. Made of nylon and shaped like a bat, it is designed to hang. Tuck it into a doorway, dangle it from a light fixture or place it near the front window for trick-or-treaters to spot on their way up the steps.

Start a colony for Halloween night

One bat sets the mood. A few hung at different heights turn a hallway into a cave. Mix your nylon bat with other Halloween bat decorations, spiderwebs and candles over the snack table, or let it hover above a photo corner for spooky group pictures. It also makes a fun prop bat for a vampire costume party, a haunted classroom or a Halloween movie night at home.

Pick it up, hang it high and let the shrieks begin!
