The Hanging Pumpkin Ghoul was an animated Halloween decoration made from 2017 to 2021. The Target exclusive version became a light and sound decoration in 2021, but the standard one remained the same. It resembled a legless figure with a pumpkin head and orange hands. When activated, a face appeared on the pumpkin as he said phrases.

Trivia[]
- Sunstar Industries, the sister company of Gemmy Industries, made another version of the Hanging Pumpkin Ghoul with different clothes and hands that speaks phrases from the older Tornado Globes and the Spirits of Fire. This version was essentially the “standard” variant. It started out as an At Home exclusive in 2018, but migrated to many other stores until its discontinuation in 2021.
- A completely white version was made in 2019 with the same phrases as the standard model.
- The design of the Hanging Pumpkin Ghoul changed in 2021, now using the blinking effect from the EmoteGlow string lights, rather than a motorized mechanism.
- The black robe undershirt is a Polyester fabric on the 2017 & 2018 models. This was changed to a thinner landscape fabric in 2019-2021.
