Halloween decorating tends to go on the walls and the porch, leaving the table itself plain. This polyester runner fixes that with spider webs, bats and the printed line Not Every Witch Lives in Salem across bold orange and black. At 73 by 13.8 inches it lies down the length of a dining table, a buffet or a mantel.
The lettering is the part guests read first, set among spider webs and bats rather than printed on a blank strip. Orange against black is loud by design, which is what the holiday asks for, and the humor keeps it closer to a party piece than to a haunted house prop. It works for adults and for a children's costume party alike.
A trick-or-treat table takes a beating: bowls of wrapped sweets dragged back and forth, sticky hands, and whatever gets knocked over in the dark. The runner marks out that station and takes the mess, so a hall table or a porch console survives the evening. Bulk sweets poured straight onto the fabric can be swept back into a bowl afterwards.
The strip does not have to lie flat. Pinned to a wall it becomes a short backdrop for costume photographs, and on a table it layers under stretched cobweb, plastic bats and a witch hat centerpiece so the whole arrangement sits on one printed base. The 13.8 inch width also suits a fireplace mantel, where the lettering faces the room.
Decorations that go up at the start of the month have to last until the end of it. Wrinkle and fade resistant polyester means the orange still looks like orange after four weeks of daylight and several washes. Machine washable and stain resistant, the runner comes back out the following year rather than going in the bin with the pumpkin.
Turkeys, pumpkins and fall leaves on plastic wide enough for the dining table, with a second cover for wherever the children eat.
Printed covers at 52 by 87 inches, two in the pack, that fit a standard eight-foot table and later tape to the wall as a photo backdrop.
