Illuminated Halloween displays, often employing electric lights, LEDs, or even luminescent materials, are decorative elements used during the Halloween season. These encompass a range of designs, from simple word displays to elaborate character representations. An example includes a board with the word “BOO” outlined with glowing bulbs and hung on a porch.
The appeal of these glowing ornaments stems from their ability to enhance the festive atmosphere and visibility of Halloween decorations, particularly during the evening hours. They contribute to a sense of community engagement and can increase the perceived safety of neighborhoods by providing additional lighting. Historically, light and illumination have been used to ward off evil spirits during the holiday, a tradition that continues in modern displays.
