Ghoulish Gadgets Under $30

Animated Halloween gadgets add fun to fright night-but you don't have to invest in a jumbo smoke machine or a full-size animatronic mummy to delight your kids with a little electronic eeriness. We've chosen a few Halloween electronics that give you maximum Boo! For your buck:

Start scaring visitors right at the front door with the animated Stranger at the Door prop. The spooky little toy sticks to your front door and sports a door knocker with a severed arm attached to it. When someone approaches the door the arm starts to knock on the door. Chances are it will weed out the weak, and mean you get to keep some of that candy for yourself! (About $19)

For families who like to go to gross-out extremes there's the Bloody Butcher Pulsating Brain. Kids seem to love this truly creepy prop, which looks like an item from your grocery store's meat case, that is until it starts to throb and you realize it's a life-sized brain facsimile!(About $20)

For a not-too-gross but still plenty festive effect spring for the Bubbling Test Tubes featuring four vials that appear to glow and bubble, atop a little lab station.(About $30)

If you're planning a Halloween party, this is the perfect gadget to grab. The Mini Fog Mister can sit in a bowl at the center of your treats table and give the impression of a creep-tacular cauldron. The mister's led lights change periodically from red to yellow to blue, and perhaps best of all can be plugged in, meaning no mountains of batteries to buy! (About $20)

And speaking of the center of the table, we think that's precisely where the Glow-in-the-Dark Sprit From Beyond (see photo above) belongs. The spooky but non-scary glowing face and disembodies hand looks ghoulish without being gruesome, and is a good fit for parties where the ages will be mixed. Though perhaps the scariest part is how much it looks like us before applying under-eye concealer in the morning! (About $30)
