These $7 Candles Will Set the Chicest Spooky Vibe (Yes, You Can Have Them in Your Dorm!)

If you’re a fellow “the big light” hater who hasn’t found the perfect candle replacement for your dorm, I’ve got you covered. You can instantly set the Halloween vibes in your space with these spooky LED candles (flame-free, of course) from Five Below. 

Depending on your dorm rules, you might be able to have candles that use a warmer, but some dorms don’t allow candles at all, which puts a damper on cozy nights. Flameless candles can really come in handy when you’re trying to start up a Halloween movie marathon or just set a serene vibe for studying. And you can put a seasonal twist on them with these spider web-inspired picks from Five Below.

This three-piece candle set costs just $7. The best part? They are completely flameless and powered by triple A batteries, which makes them safe for your dorm room! They even flicker to give off a realistic candle effect and up the spooky ambiance. Because each candle in the trio is a slightly different height, they look great clustered together or scattered around your room.

If spiders aren’t your thing, or you are looking for a little more faux gore for your decor, these “bleeding” candles dripping with fake red wax are sure to do the trick. These are also fully battery-powered, so they’re safe to keep on your desk while you do your homework.

For a slightly more intricate Halloween look, these flameless LED candles from Walmart are another spooky option. This trio of orange pillar candles is covered in twisty trees, haunted castles, witches on brooms, and carved jack-o’-lanterns. 

Any of these candles would be the perfect addition to a boo basket or make a great gift for that one friend who is obsessed with horror movies. You could even turn them on while you’re baking a batch of pumpkin muffins — the warm glow will make the experience even cozier.  

Whatever your Halloween festivities look like this year, these three-piece candle sets are the perfect way to set the spooky-season mood for cheap.
