It’s October and Halloween is right around the corner, but more importantly, it’s the perfect time to kick back and watch some spooky movies in the dark, alone, or with a loved one. If you want to feel the fear deep in your bones, you’ll need an excellent setup with strong picture quality, killer audio, and just an exceptional experience overall. Walmart has you covered there, with some fantastic deals that won’t empty your wallet, leaving you plenty for your costumes, candy, and goodies at the end of the month!
We grabbed all the spooky home theater goodies worth checking out and chopped them all up below. If you’re into projectors, there’s an awesome one! If you want a big screen TV or want to splurge on a super awesome TV, those are there too. There’s also a sound system so Hocus Pocus will sound better than ever before, or Michael Myers when he’s slashing away at, well, whatever he’s trying to stab. You can creep on all of our picks below.
Projector for Any Budget: Vankyo Leisure 3 Full HD Projector – $80
This 1080P mini projector has an estimate lamp life of 40,000 hours, plenty to last you quite a few hours of watching! It can create a display up to 170-inches across that’s incredible adaptable and can be almost anywhere from a wall, to a courtyard, to the back of a fence at night. It does have an HDMI port — and includes a 5-foot HDMI cable — so it works with game consoles, media streaming devices, phones, and much more. The built-in stereo speaker will play sound, but you can always hook up a sound system with the AV cable. Normally $110, you can grab it for $80 at Walmart right now, with free shipping.
Best Big Screen TV: 75-inch TCL 4-Series 4K UHD TV – $700
