Grandin Road is an upscale home decor company that sells products for every time of the year. However, they're perhaps best known for their "Halloween Haven" line of products that ranges from animated props to room decorations. Each year, Halloween Haven has a video that showcases many of their decorations. The props they choose to carry are usually campy and fun or elegantly spooky. Therefore, gory props that are straight-up NightmareFuel are not to be found in their assortment.
Compare and contrast with Creator/SpiritHalloween, which specializes in Halloween only but frequently carries the same decorations from the same providers.
!! Tropes exhibited by Grandin Road include:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: The Ghostly Bride seems rather determined to find a new groom. This is acknowledged in the "auditions" videos.
* BlackComedy: Many of the props tell jokes like this.
* TheBluebeard: The Ghostly Bride's husband was this.
* ClassicalMovieVampire: Both of the rising coffin vampires, and the vampire family figures.
* CreepyChangingPainting: They once sold a few animated lenticular portraits.
* DemBones: They've carried a few reapers, and several skeleton animals. The Towering Macabre Witch is also skeletal.
* DemonicDummy: Chuckie the dummy, who appears in the Ventriloquist prop and on his own.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Gitana the Gypsy. "Gitana" means "Gypsy" in Spanish.
* EarlyBirdCameo: They have a tendency to hide upcoming Halloween Haven props in promotional photos for their summer decor.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: A few of their higher-priced items use liberal amounts of glitter.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Surprisingly, zombies are not the most common type of Halloween prop.
* EyeOfNewt: Name-dropped by several of the witches, along with other typically "witchy" ingredients.
* FaceRevealingTurn: Tara [[ExorcistHead doesn't even need to turn around!]]
* LivingStatue: The Velma and Evander interactive busts, and the Medusa bust.
* LosingYourHead: Heads Up Harry removes his.
* MadScientist: Dr. Shivers.
* MisBlamed: Grandin Road has had some infamy for selling props that infringe on original designs by indedpendent artists. However, they're merely a vendor that chooses the products, and the manufacturers are the real thieves
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: They've sold several props based on real musicians.
* PoesLaw: When they spotlighted the Scarewolf Rug prop in one of their photos of ordinary decor, there were several angry comments from people who didn't get that it was actually a Halloween prop.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: All of their static figures have red LED eyes that slowly blink on and off.
* RedRightHand: Half of the Spider Lady's face is missing, revealing a glowing skull.
* SpidersAreScary: The Spider Lady.
* WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve: Subverted, one of the haunted clocks strikes ''thirteen''.
* WickedWitch: Several.
