These Halloween candles are sure to scare off anyone including yourself. The homemade candles are by 'GloomMatterOnEtsy' and are made with dry stone cement, black oxide powder and acrylic paint.

The [candle holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-mater) are all very durable and chip-resistant, so you don't need to be as delicate with this baby's head. The eyes are missing from each doll head so that as soon as you place a candle inside the cranium, the eyes glow in the dark.

Place the candle outside by your pumpkins or on your table as a centre piece and watch people dissipate from that space. If you hear sinister laughter at night, blame it on the haunted doll head, because it's a likely occurrence. With these haunted Halloween candles you'll be doing Halloween right, as they're the [scariest decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oriental-trading) out there.
