The molded plastic figure, commonly depicting a stereotypical sorceress for All Hallows’ Eve, represents a specific genre of seasonal dcor. These items are typically hollow, formed through a manufacturing process that utilizes air pressure to inflate heated plastic within a mold. Examples can range in size from small tabletop ornaments to larger lawn decorations, often illuminated from within.
Their popularity stems from a combination of factors: affordability, durability, and ease of display and storage. Historically, the utilization of this manufacturing technique allowed for mass production, making holiday decorations accessible to a wider consumer base. The lightweight nature of the resulting product also contributed to its appeal, allowing for effortless placement both indoors and outdoors.
