It’s official: Lewis is the must-have Halloween decoration of 2023. The spooky Jack-o’-lantern ghoul, available exclusively at Target, has scared up more than 27 million views in a week and 753.6 million total global views, according to data sent to Billboard from TikTok.
The $180 decoration, from Hyde & EEK! Boutique, features a ghoulish, orange jack-o’-lantern dressed in a tattered hooded robe (Grim Reaper style). Lewis stands 8-feet-tall, makes spooky sounds and the face lights up. It’s designed for outside use, per the product description.
Lewis even has its own fan club, with dozens of appreciation posts and fan edits, plus a hilarious video about a rumored romance with Home Depot’s 12-foot skeleton.

If you want to go even bigger, there’s a giant, animated scarecrow pumpkin available at Halloween Costumes. It’s not exactly like Lewis or the Pumpkin Reaper as far as wardrobe goes, but it’s creepy enough to make your Halloween list. The eyes light up, the head, torso and arms move, and it’s 8-feet-tall when fully assembled.
6 Ft. Large Animated Root of Evil Prop
This Root of Evil prop moves around and lights up. And when it moves, it looks sort of like a person in a costume. The animatronic prop works for indoors or outdoors, but according to customer reviews, you may need to weigh down the stand, so that it stays upright.
