With Halloween right around the corner, people are picking pumpkins and stocking up on candy. But did you know Alexa-enabled devices have numerous tricks and treats to help celebrate the spookiest holiday of the year?

Get started by saying “Alexa, what should I be for Halloween?” or “Alexa, what’s your favorite scary movie?” and then take your Halloween celebrations to the next level with the recommendations and deals below.

Ultimate Haunted House: Create the haunted house of your dreams (or nightmares!) with Alexa-enabled smart home devices. With the New Echo Plus or Echo Show, Philips Hue Bulbs and Amazon Smart Plug, make your home into a spooky spectacle for the whole neighborhood. Ask Alexa to play Spooky Halloween Sounds and Halloween Music to really set the mood.

Date Night: Grab your boo and get ready for Halloween with the help of Amazon Fire TV and the Toshiba Fire TV Edition and watch your favorite horror films. Fire TV devices let you use your voice to easily find, launch, and control content with the Alexa Voice Remote, or pair your Fire TV to any Echo device for hands-free voice control. If you want to continue to stream your favorite chills & thrills after the 31st, don’t forget that the new Fire TV Stick 4K will begin shipping on Halloween!

Trick or Treat: Make sure your family is prepared for a night of Trick or Treating with the help of the Fire tablet line-up. Grab your Fire HD 10, Fire HD 8, or Fire 7 and ask Alexa to play the scariest Halloween Music and Movies, call or message the family to show off your costumes and make sure you are stocked up for all your treaters! Don’t forget to pair the Fire HD 8 or HD 10 with the Show Mode Charging Dock to help prepare for your evening by checking on the weather, dimming the lights before you head out, or announcing to your family that it’s time to leave.
