Haunted stumps with tea lights

Deep in the darkest corner of your Halloween spread, something stirs — a little grove of gnarled, bark-textured tree stumps with glowing eyes and toothy grins that flicker to life the moment the lights go down. Each stump wears its own eerie expression: wide surprised eyes, a slack-jawed gape, a jagged menacing snarl — no two faces are quite the same kind of creepy. Place a tea light or small LED puck inside and watch warm, colored light seep through the cut-out eyes and mouths, casting an otherworldly glow across your mantel, table, or windowsill. The rich dark wood-grain texture makes each piece look like it wandered in straight from an enchanted — and slightly sinister — forest. These little sentinels are perfect for Halloween lovers, haunted-house decorators, and anyone who appreciates their autumn décor with a side of whimsy and a dash of dread. Arrange a whole grove for maximum effect, or tuck one solo stump somewhere unexpected to give your guests a delightful little fright.
