If you’re turning your home into a haunted house this Halloween then you should take a look at the Vintage Skull Pillow Cover. This spooky item is a break from all those [tacky Halloween decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-halloween-drinkware) that many are used to seeing. This festively stylish pillow case comes from [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floof-snuggle-sack-and-floor-pillow) seller Kate Parsnips and is available through her PopEyeCon page.

The Vintage Skull Pillow Cover is perfect for Halloween, but if you have a darker style it’ll look great in your home all year round. The pillow case is adorned with a [giant skull](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swizzels-squashies-squeletons) and is hand-drawn, which gives it a cool antiqued look.

Your haunted house may be scary enough that it’ll make people faint, so this would be the perfect item to have around to catch an unexpected fall.
