A popular seasonal decoration, these items are typically formed from hollow plastic using a molding process. These decorations frequently depict a specific character associated with the Halloween season, illuminated from within to enhance visibility during evening hours. An example would be a green-skinned, pointy-hatted figure holding a broom, often placed on lawns or porches during the month of October.
These decor items offer several advantages, including their durability, weather resistance, and relatively low cost. They are also lightweight and easy to store, contributing to their widespread use in residential and commercial settings. Historically, these plastic decorations gained prominence in the mid-20th century, becoming a staple of American Halloween traditions and reflecting a shift towards mass-produced seasonal ornamentation.
