Ghosts and goblins aren’t the only creatures out and about this Halloween. Dress-up plush pals make festive playmates for those at home this holiday, while a costumed character from a hit movie takes to the streets. A lollipop with a special surprise will delight trick-or-treaters. Happy Haunting!

This witch, vampire and Frankenstein ($10.99 each; fiestatoy.com) are too cute to be scary. At 14” high, each creature holds a mini version of itself—the perfect companions for imaginative pretend play or the makings of a spook-tacular holiday display.

Make like Hugh Jackman from the X-Men Origins films, and suit up in your very own Wolverine costume ($39.99; disguise.com). Boys will be able to act out their favorite scenes from the movies in a convincing get-up that comes with a belt, mask and claws sharp enough for snatching up tasty tricks and treats.

Here’s a pop that really pops: Surprise Airheads Pops ($1.49; candyrific.com) aren’t just any lollipop. Simply push a button to release a scary creature that jumps out of the bottom of the pop. Reserve these tricky treats for your favorite trick-or-treaters.
