Best Halloween gifts under $25
Funko Pop! Art the Clown (Terrifier 2)
Art the Clown is one of the breakout slashers of the 2020s, and this bloody Terrifier 2 Pop is the cheapest way into his fandom. It averages 4.9 stars from over 1,100 Amazon ratings. If they collect Pops already, the clean Terrifier version (about $13) and the Art-with-bike version (about $16) make a set.
Funko Pop! Ghostface, glow in the dark
The Scream killer in an Amazon-exclusive glow-in-the-dark finish, which suits a Halloween shelf. It has nearly 1,700 ratings, averaging 4.8 stars. The standard Ghostface Pop is about $10 if you’d rather skip the glow.
NECA Toony Terrors Freddy Krueger
Toony Terrors are NECA’s cartoon-style horror figures: big heads, bright colors, and still articulated. Freddy is one of the most popular in the line, with 4.6 stars from almost 400 ratings. They’re cheap enough to buy two and start a collection.
NECA Toony Terrors Pennywise (1990)
Tim Curry’s Pennywise from the 1990 miniseries, in the same stylized look. It’s a great gift for someone who grew up on the original rather than the 2017 movie, and it averages 4.7 stars.
Disney Jack Skellington plush
The Nightmare Before Christmas works for both Halloween and Christmas, which makes Jack the safest plush on this list. This officially licensed 12-inch version averages 4.6 stars. Skip the cheaper unlicensed Jack plushes; the faces are often off.
Best Halloween gifts from $25 to $50
NECA Toony Terrors Halloween III trick-or-treaters (3-pack)
The three kids in the Silver Shamrock masks from Halloween III: Season of the Witch, as Toony Terrors. It’s a deep cut that real horror fans will recognize instantly, and it averages 4.7 stars.
NECA Trick ‘r Treat Sam
Sam is the mascot of Halloween itself, so he’s the most on-theme gift here. This 8-inch figure wears a real fabric costume and averages 4.8 stars from about 165 ratings. If they love the movie, there’s also a Sam head knocker for about $30.
NECA Beetlejuice (1988)
The original Beetlejuice in his black-and-white striped suit, a good pick for fans of both the 1988 movie and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. NECA also makes figures from the sequel if they want a matching pair.
Kidrobot Ghost Face Phunny plush
A plush for adults: Kidrobot’s 8-inch Phunny Ghostface keeps the mask and robe but makes it something you can leave on a couch. It averages 4.8 stars from almost 600 ratings.
NECA Ultimate Damaged Chucky
Chucky from Bride of Chucky, scars and stitches included, in NECA’s Ultimate line with extra accessories. It averages 4.6 stars and is a lot cheaper than a full-size Good Guys doll replica.
NECA Ultimate Michael Myers (Halloween 6)
Michael Myers is the obvious Halloween gift, and NECA’s Ultimate figures are the ones collectors want. This Curse of Michael Myers version averages 4.6 stars from about 150 ratings. NECA makes several Michael versions, so check which film they like best.
Mezco Living Dead Dolls Dancing Wednesday
Mezco’s Living Dead Dolls line has been a goth collector favorite for years, and this one is Wednesday Addams mid-dance from the Netflix series. It’s a good pick for someone who loves Wednesday more than slashers.
Splurge Halloween gifts
NECA Ultimate Freddy
The most-reviewed figure on this list: about 1,665 ratings, averaging 4.8 stars. It’s a detailed 7-inch Freddy Krueger with alternate parts, and the figure most horror collectors start with.
Enesco Disney Showcase Jack Skellington Botanical figurine
A display statue rather than a toy: Jack in a botanical design, about 8.7 inches tall. It’s the classiest gift here for a Nightmare Before Christmas fan, and it fits a shelf in October or December.
Mezco Living Dead Dolls Little Pale Girl (Terrifier)
The Little Pale Girl from the Terrifier films as a Living Dead Doll. It averages 4.8 stars, and it’s a much rarer sight on a shelf than another Art the Clown.
How to pick the right Halloween gift
- Match the movie, not the monster. Michael, Freddy and Chucky each have versions from several films, so check which one they love.
- Toony Terrors or Ultimate? Toony Terrors are cheaper, cartoony and fun. Ultimate figures are detailed and come with extra parts. Collectors usually want Ultimates.
- Plush for the couch, figures for the shelf. If they don’t have shelf space, a Kidrobot or Jack Skellington plush is the safer gift.
- Order early. Halloween is two weeks away, and popular figures sell out. Check the delivery date on the listing before you buy.
What to skip
- Unlicensed knockoffs. Cheap Jack Skellington plushes and “horror figures” without a brand name often have wrong faces and poor paint.
- Marked-up resellers. Some NECA and Mezco listings jump way above normal prices before Halloween. If a $35 figure is listed at $80, check other sellers first.
- Full-size prop replicas for a first gift. Life-size dolls and props can cost hundreds; start with a figure and see how much they love it.
