This inflatable seasonal decoration, often depicting a spectral figure, is commonly used for outdoor adornment during the Halloween season. These decorations are typically made of durable, weather-resistant materials and are inflated using an integrated electric fan. For example, a six-foot-tall representation of a translucent apparition, illuminated from within, placed on a front lawn is a common example.
The appeal of these decorations lies in their ease of setup and high visual impact. They provide a simple and relatively inexpensive method for homeowners to participate in the festive atmosphere of Halloween. The accessibility and widespread adoption of these inflatable figures have contributed to the increased popularity of elaborate Halloween displays in residential areas. They require minimal storage space when deflated and provide a dramatic visual presence when in use.
