11 Halloween String Lights for a Spooky Glow

A few friendly ghosts are just what your house needs to get in the Halloween spirit. They’d set a moody scene in the living room, playroom, or any indoor space that could use a spooky upgrade. But a quick note: These are meant to be paired with these string lights or LED lights only! 

If you have a front porch, why not deck it out with Halloween string lights? Orange and purple is a classic color scheme for Halloween, and these top-rated LED string lights are made with variable lighting modes, so you can adjust them based on the occasion or time of day.

If you prefer an elevated aesthetic, you might love globe string lights, which bring a subtle glow anywhere they’re assembled. While these crystal globe lights come in a purple and orange combination, they’re also available in orange alone for a more neutral look. Drape them around a stair or deck rail; across a fireplace mantel; or anywhere that needs extra haunted oomph.

Spiders are such a classic Halloween symbol. This bestselling lit crystal spider web is an ethereal yet eerie accessory, and don’t forget to add a few creepy-crawlies to complete the look.

While you can’t go wrong with orange and purple, neutral globe string lights work well for all seasons (Halloween included!). You can place these outdoor solar lights around a fence and dress them up with a pretty pumpkin garland.

How great are these candy corn lights? We love a subtle accent, and these would add a fun (and functional!) detail to outdoor decorations like skulls, a graveyard, or carved pumpkins.

Floating string light candles?! It doesn’t get much more Halloween than that. You can hang them on your porch, above your snack table, by your front door… the ideas are endless. 

Pumpkins are a classic Halloween motif. These charming pumpkin string lights would look lovely around your doorway, on your coffee table, or on a railing.

You can also create a stunning Halloween scene with trees wrapped in string lights. These mini lights are available in a variety of vibrant color combinations to illuminate the whole yard.

If you want to go a little scarier, string lights with bats and ghosts might be right up your alley. These string lights can be used indoors and out to create a scary-meets-sweet vibe.
