These large, air-filled decorations, often featuring characters or themes from the referenced cinematic work and associated holiday, are a common sight in residential and commercial displays during the autumnal season. As an example, one might encounter a depiction of the Sanderson sisters rising from a graveyard, rendered in inflated vinyl and illuminated from within.
Their popularity stems from several factors, including ease of setup and storage, visual impact, and relatively low cost compared to other types of elaborate holiday decorations. Historically, such items represent a shift toward mass-produced, accessible displays that contribute to the festive atmosphere associated with the end of October.
