One character
A witch, vampire or sculpted head can serve as a single landmark or photo feature. Confirm its overall size, viewing distance and expression, then decide which props belong in the order.

Commercial Halloween Decorations
Star Factory Lantern designs and manufactures pumpkin scenes, character lanterns and illuminated entrances for parks, malls, resorts, zoos and seasonal night attractions. Our team can also plan the route, prepare export packing, coordinate shipping and provide installation guidance for your venue.
Choose your display scope
Choose one character, a scene or a Halloween route
Start with the scale of the order: one character, an entrance or photo scene, or a collection for a walk-through attraction. Then agree the audience, available space and support included in the quotation. See the product examples below.
Entrance or photo scene
Combine a pumpkin gate, skull arch or castle backdrop with characters. Allow for bases, barriers, the camera position and any queue, while keeping the entrance and exit clear.
A full visitor route
Choose several scenes when the brief covers a visitor route. Separate friendly areas from stronger scares, place photo stops beside the main path and agree the order of the zones.
Outdoor Conditions
Review site access, ground conditions, exposure to wind and rain, cable routes, anchoring and operating hours before design approval.
Shipping and Assembly
Agree section sizes, packing labels, loading order and the assembly sequence early. If you plan to reuse the displays, include storage space and access for repairs in the brief.
Create seasonal entrances, atrium displays, and photo settings that give visitors a reason to stop and explore.
Combine haunted routes, character zones, fantasy creatures, pumpkin villages, and timed evening experiences.
Pair friendly animals and pumpkins with garden paths and family-oriented evening activities.
Develop large outdoor scenes for public squares, tourism festivals, parades, and seasonal programmes.
From Concept to Display
Review the Shape Before Fabrication
Review the character’s proportions from different angles in the rotating preview, then compare its expression and lighting with the finished Joker lantern. We agree the expression, colors and lighting layout with you before production.
Finished Display
We combine sculpted facial detail, layered color and internal lighting to match your character design.
Family areas and haunted scenes
Match the characters to your audience
Use expression, color and lighting to set the tone: friendly pumpkins and playful characters for family areas, or darker figures for a more intense scene. Across a longer route, clear transitions between these areas give visitors places to pause and help families choose where to go.
Choosing the Scenes
Choose how the displays work together
Choose a main feature first, then add the characters and scenery it needs. A tall figure may stand alone at an entrance; a castle or pumpkin backdrop needs room around it for photographs and movement. For several zones, develop the wider route alongside the display selection. For a completed seasonal example, see our winter lantern project for a historic manor, which combined Halloween, Christmas and Epiphany scenes in one visitor route.
Vampires and Dark Characters
A tall vampire or theatrical character can mark an entrance, set the tone for a haunted area, or become a photo feature.
Castle and pumpkin scenes
A castle backdrop, pumpkins and surrounding characters can form an entrance or photo setting. Coordinate the theme with witches, skeletons or spider webs where they suit the audience.
Custom character designs
Develop the shape, expression and color from sketches, site photographs or a theme brief. Plan the frame sections and packing around the agreed size and destination.

Review the drawing, frame and finish
We confirm the dimensions, expression and finish with you before production. Review the drawings, frame and surface work as the build progresses, then agree the lighting checks, packing labels and assembly notes your site team will receive.
Workshop preparation
Plan delivery and assembly before packing
We plan transport sections around your site entrance and lifting access. Before packing, we confirm wiring access, fixing points, surface protection, weather exposure, drainage, packing labels, loading order and the assembly sequence with your team.

FAQ
Questions before you order
What types of commercial Halloween decorations can be customized?
Custom options include pumpkin lanterns, haunted houses, witch characters, skeleton displays, spider web installations, entrance arches, garden scenes, photo walls, parade elements, and full Halloween light trail zones.
Can one Halloween route include both scary and family-friendly scenes?
Yes. The route can place more intense haunted scenes in clearly defined areas while using friendly pumpkins, characters, and photo points in family-oriented sections.
How early should a commercial Halloween project start?
Allow time for design approval, fabrication, finishing, testing, packing, shipping and installation. Large custom overseas routes can require several months. Share the opening date before confirming the order so the schedule can be reviewed against the project scale and destination.
Do you provide installation support?
Support can include packing labels, installation drawings, remote guidance and optional on-site assistance, depending on the project. Agree in advance who handles lifting, anchoring, power connections and venue approval, as well as the support required by the local crew.
Can Halloween decorations be part of a larger light festival route?
Yes. A Halloween display can form one seasonal area within a larger light festival or become a standalone walk-through attraction with an entrance, themed scenes, photo areas, and a planned route.
What information do you need for a quotation?
Share the venue type, site dimensions, opening date, expected visitor route, indoor or outdoor conditions, preferred scenes, reference images, shipping country, installation window, and the support required by the local crew.
What affects the cost of a custom Halloween display?
Size, number of pieces, character detail, lighting and any separately specified effects affect the manufacturing scope. Transport sections, packing, destination and installation support also influence the project budget. Send an approximate size, quantity and venue location so the quotation can distinguish the displays from shipping and site work.
Can the lanterns be used outdoors?
Outdoor use needs to be planned around the site's weather exposure, ground or fixing conditions, power access and operating period. Agree on the structure, anchoring, electrical protection and any venue documentation before production. A display designed for an indoor atrium should not be assumed suitable for an exposed outdoor site.
