All ornaments strung on garlands are lightweight and hollow plastic, without any protrusions, to avoid injury if the garland is flung towards a someone’s face. A single string of garland only weighs about 1 pound.

Not really. While exposure to water will not permanently damage the plastic ornaments, twine or fabric, moisture may cause the acrylic paint on the ornaments to fail or wash off. Also, sustained exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun may fade the acrylic paint and dyed fabric and twine. Only indoor installations are recommended.

We recommend tying each garland to a small eye-hook screwed into the wooden casing or drywall above your door. If you want to avoid cosmetic damage to your door casing or drywall, an adjustable shower curtain rod or strength-training pull-up bar can be installed in the doorway. Simply tie the garlands onto the curtain rod or pull-up bar and uninstall the curtain rod or pull-up bar after Halloween. If you’re seeking a mounting bar for an entrance wider than any adjustable shower curtain rod or strength-training pull-up bar can accommodate, please contact us about a special order. We are able to fabricate rigid mounting bars that pinch between two parallel walls and do not require any cosmetic damage to your home.

At this time, we’re only able to offer Sinister Skulls and Demonic Dolls. We’re hoping to have additional ornaments exclusive to Scream Strings available for purchase for Halloween 2025. If you’re interested in customizing an existing design, such as a unique paint scheme for Sinister Skulls or a different bow tie option for Demonic Dolls, please contact us about a special order.

While no ornaments on a garland could be considered a choking hazard for pets or small children, we do not recommend installing garlands in a home with a pet that’s inclined to bite and claw onto hanging objects or a home with a small child that’s inclined to grasp onto hanging objects and tug. This may result in the garland being pulled from its installation method, causing damage to your walls, or worse, an injury to your pet or small child. If you have a rambunctious pet or inquisitive toddler living in your home, do not install a garland within reachable distance of the floor.
