The Glow Ups are lighted indoor/outdoor Halloween decorations made in 2003-2007. Each one features a string of lighted body parts, or a character's head and limbs, to give the illusion that said character is buried underground. When plugged in, the lights fade on and off or alternate until unplugged. On some models, like Donna the Dead and Rick Amortus, the lights flash on and off. The variety of Glow Ups feature various different designs such as characters with heads and limbs protruding from the earth, ghostly footprints and even pathway markers.
