20 Delightfully Dreary Things That'll Let You Channel Your Inner Wednesday Addams

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-09-29 13:04

1. A hand-shaped wall mount with serious Thing vibes (but, like, if Thing got a fresh acrylic set). You can display your jewelry, add some spooky spice to your gallery wall, or just freak yourself out when you inevitably forget that you hung this up and see a creepy hand coming out of your wall when you wake up at 2:17 a.m.

Amazon

Just note that several reviewers mention the included hardware isn't the sturdiest, so you might want to use your own. 

Promising review: "This adds just the right amount of creepiness on my library wall. I love, love it!" —Auntie M

Get it from Amazon for $18.68.

2. A plague doctor plushie if your style is a little less Labubu and a little more Labu-boo. 👻  This little guy is surprisingly adorable given his source material. And it would be a perfect snuggle-partner for a Nosferatu (2024) watch-party...because, hello...? The plague is kind of the scariest part of that movie.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is super cute. I bought this for my little goth daughter and she loves it. It’s actually pretty high quality and stitched well for the price. It’s stuffed tightly and isn’t cheap looking." —TraceyG

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

3. A bat wing claw clip to hold your hair up while you're pondering the macabre and wondering why everyone around you is so...cheery. 😒...

Amazon

Promising review: "This is excellent! I was actually surprised by how great this clip is. It's metal, but not heavy on my head. It has a strong grip and stays where it's placed all day. Overall, a really great product." —Shawn Browning

Get it from Amazon for $7.99(available in 13 styles).

4. A Lego Black Dahlia Flower set that comes with everything you need to create your very own hidden Nevermore classroom display. This set even includes mini Wednesday and Professor Marilyn Thornhill dolls. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The inside of the vase opens to this cool greenhouse. And the flower has got some cool purple sparkly pieces too!" —Colleen J.

Get it from Amazon for $27.97.

5. Gracula — a Dracula-themed garlic crusher, which, given the way vampires feel about garlic...seems a little sadistic. But, hey – some lighthearted torture (a la Wednesday and Pugsley) might be right up your alley. Just pop your cloves in, twist, and boom — minced garlic galore.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Psst...if you want to goth-ify your entire meal-prep routine, check out these bat-shaped kitchen scissors, too.

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Get it from Amazon for $18.99

6. A ruffled maxi dress that's perfect for you if you'd describe your style as not quite a Wednesday...not yet a Morticia. Oh, and this dress has freaking POCKETS! And they've got ample storage for all your human teeth, tarantulas, vials of mysterious red liquid, and sharp objects.

Amazon

Promising review: "I bought this dress in three colors. Comfy, cute, POCKETS, need I say more?? Had enough space for my large chest, and not too tight on the arms. I feel so pretty in this dress, and it has room for a belly. I'm just fat, but I think it would work for maternity as well." —Samantha Vance

Get it from Amazon for $34.39 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 20 colors). 

7. A skull-shaped glasses holder for all you sight-impaired goths squinting to read this right now because you have no idea where you put your specs! If only you had this ghastly display, you'd have a designated spot for them. Plus, there's a trinket tray behind the jaw for any other things (keys, earrings, chargers, etc.) you frequently misplace. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Such a cute staple for my hubby’s nightstand! It even has a compartment in the back to store extra things. Not too big, not too small. I love it. Adds personality to the simple things!" —Candace Hetrick

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four colors).

8. A haunted doorbell that, if you have taste, is *not* just a Halloween decoration, but a year-round aesthetic choice. When you push it, a glowing eyeball appears (and a sPoooOoky sound is played) that'll send visitors running scared. If you've had a lifelong dream of neighborhood children spreading rumors about your house being a witch's lair, now's your chance to realize that. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I put this outside our house. Everyone believed it was the real doorbell. It is loud enough, spooky (in a 1950s kind of way), and is super cool at night. I loved it and will use it again next year." —dLyonBW

Get it from Amazon for $25.39 (available in two styles).

9. A pack of zombie plant seeds, which sounds morbid, because it is. These seeds become plants that "play dead" (aka they wilt) when you touch their leaves, and they come back to life a few minutes later. Don't worry, unlike real zombies, these botanical beasts do *not* eat brains. Unless...

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This was a fun plant. My kids enjoyed watching the leaves pull up and then spread back out. I even mailed one to a family member so they could try it out. I would buy this again!" —Nene582

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.95 (also available in a party pack and grow kit).

10. A skeletal French bulldog if you like a little cute with your creepy (or are just a major Tim Burton fan — that guy loves his animated skeleton dogs). This cutie won't be a spectacular guard dog, but he'll definitely spruce up the place with his fantastic (and frightening) vibes.

Target

Promising reviews: "Really cute! I’ve been eyeing this little guy for a while, and when he arrived, I was not disappointed. Really good quality for the price!" —Shoppy

"I am a French bulldog breeder, so it was necessary for me to add this guy to our Halloween decor! I received it via shipping and loved it even more in person!" —Chunka Chunk Bullies

Get it from Target for $18.

11. A magical color-changing thermal nail polish by Mooncat with some serious vampy vibes. This shade is aptly named "Queen of the Dead," and it's perfect for all of us grown-ups who never stopped shopping at Hot Topic.

Mooncat

Mooncat is an AAPI immigrant- and woman-owned small business.

Promising review: "I love thermals and this is no exception. It's gorgeous and vampy. Definitely going to be getting use out of this going into autumn. Be sure to wear a good base coat if you're worried about staining." —Jenn

Get it from Mooncat for $18.

12. An anatomical heart necklace featuring a verrrry detailed, hand-carved sculpture of a human heart soldered to a large, sturdy locket in an antique silver coating. Sometimes, diamonds are not a girl's best friend — gothic, solid metal art pieces are. 

Karly Jacklin / BuzzFeed, Blue Bayer Design NYC

Blue Bayer Design is a small business based in NYC specializing in unique metalwork pieces.

I've had my locket from Blue Bayer Design for almost three years — I needed a keepsake locket large enough to put my favorite picture of my late brother in, and no big box store had anything pretty, spacious, or unique enough. When I came across this necklace, I knew this was the memorial piece for me. It's got weight to it, the metal work is wildly intricate, and it's held up beautifully (and I am not kind to my jewelry). Plus...I get so many compliments every time I wear it. 

...and if I'm reallyyy feeling a Wednesday Addams vibe, I'll respond to said compliments by saying, "Thank you, it's got my brother in it." 

Get it from Blue Bayer Design on Etsy for $42

13. A vampiric umbrella that resembles a sleeping Dracula when hung up. And, when you open it up, a batty pattern (battern?) is revealed on the inside. I mean, look it! It's freakin' bats. I love Halloween.

Amazon

Promising review: "I absolutely adore this umbrella! The canopy is stylish, and I'm fond of the bat design inside. It's lightweight yet appears to be quite sturdy. It's compact, just the right size, and can comfortably accommodate two people. Definitely worth purchasing." —Mary Grace

Get it from Amazon for $24.95.

14. A black organza dressto channel not just *any* ol' depiction of Wednesday Addams, but Jenna Ortega's portrayal on the recent Wednesday Season 2 Press Tour. This elegant, sheer, black dress can be worn as a bathing suit cover-up, too.

www.amazon.com

P.S. Reviewers with large busts recommend sizing up because the top of this dress has very little stretch.

Promising review: "I use this with a simple silk undergarment of the same color...From being a beach cover-up to a casual and refreshing dress for the hotter days. Size up if you have bigger arms or large breasts, as it doesn’t have any stretch to it at all." —Joan Espinoza-Gonzalez

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL).

15. A chic "bloody" necklace for that just-bitten look. If regular accessories aren't macabre enough for you, this one will look like you just raided Morticia's closet. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This necklace ended up being even better than I could’ve imagined. I have been eyeing this design for a while and decided to wear it for my birthday. I got lots of compliments on it, and it was the star of my outfit! ✨🩸" —Vampyre Rat

Get it from Dayaney on Amazon Handmade for $13.99.

16. A cozy coloring book to get you in the spooky spirit any time of the year. This book features 40 hand-drawn pages, so you can curl up and color to your heart's content. Plus, just look at that cello! Wednesday approved. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this coloring book. The images are cute and unique. This is truly one of my favorite pastimes. 🎃'' —Caramelo_Foreverz

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

17. A coffin-shaped letter board with oodles of scary symbols and letters galore. Plus, even when Halloween is over...nothing is stopping you from keeping this up year-round. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This thing is great! I love it so much! It comes with a large variety of seasonal emojis and symbols in addition to letters and numbers. The spooky emojis are amazing! I love the little bats! This letter board is absolute perfection." —Gigi Ghoul

Get it from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in four colors).

18. A pair of bat-shaped glasses because sometimes, black lenses aren't enough. They need to be extra 🎶 mysterious and spooky. 🎶

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

If you haven't watched the Interview With the Vampire TV show yet, what are you even doing still reading this? I shall not rest until I've spread the word to everyone!

Promising review: "Great goth look. For men, it's better to wear it on the nose in a steampunk sort of way. Dare to be different." —Darkstar

Get them from Amazon for$9.99 (available in nine more styles). 

19. A cropped tee with a tiny skeleton friend peeking out of the pocket. Hey, it's a spooky step up from your basic black tee.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Super cute, and soft. Does fit a little boxy." —Shaina Euge

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 11 styles). 

20. And a set of TikTok-famous floating candles that'll add the perfect amount of witchy wonder to your space. These are easily hung up with an ancient incantation (jk, it's clear fishing line, but nobody has to know that) and come with a ~magic wand~ remote to turn the candles off and on. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased these after I saw them in a viral TikTok video, and they did not disappoint! Every single one of the candles works perfectly, and the flame flickers just like a real candle. They were really easy to put up into the ceiling because they were already strong with the fishing line. I just used clear thumbtacks and wrapped the line around it and hung it to the ceiling. The wand is so cool and works perfectly well for turning on and off the lights. I definitely would purchase more to add a little bit more magic throughout the house! Absolutely worth it!" —Korg

Price: $17.99+ for a set of 12 (available in five varieties)
