Halloween is a festive time of year, filled with costumes, candy, and spooky decorations. One popular costume choice that always seems to catch the eye is the rocking witch. A rocking witch is a Halloween decoration that features a life-sized witch figure sitting in a chair that rocks back and forth. The rocking witch Halloween decoration is a quintessential part of many Halloween displays and haunted houses. These decorations often come with a motion sensor that activates the rocking motion and lights up the witch's eyes for an extra eerie effect. The rocking motion creates an element of surprise and can be quite startling to unsuspecting passersby.
Each candle requires a AAA battery (not included) and had a long, invisible fishing line extending from the top. But the best part is…wait for it…you turn them on and off with a wand!
We ended up wrapping them around paperclips which was kind of slippery and frustrating until you got the hang of it , securing them with tape, sticking the wrapped paperclip through some plastic light covers in the case, and then anchoring the wrapped paper clips with more tape. Sometimes one candle would lag behind the others and you would need to do another quick click, but generally they responded really well to the wand commands.
The rocking motion creates an element of surprise and can be quite startling to unsuspecting passersby. There are many variations of the rocking witch Halloween decoration, with different styles and designs to suit individual preferences. Some rocking witches have traditional witch outfits, complete with pointy hats and broomsticks, while others have more modern and unique designs.

Oh, how we have wanted to test these floating LED candles for the blog. And YES they were just as amazing as we thought they would be!
Katie first spotted the Leejec Flameless Taper Floating Candles on Amazon. We’ll admit, they are pricey. You can get them at various lengths (6″, 7″, or 11″) and in various amounts (6-20 in a pack). We needed quite a few for our gallery display cases, so we went with the 6″ pack of 20 for $60.

Hanging the candles was a bit tricky. The fishing lines are really, really, really long. We ended up wrapping them around paperclips (which was kind of slippery and frustrating until you got the hang of it), securing them with tape, sticking the wrapped paperclip through some plastic light covers in the case, and then anchoring the wrapped paper clips with more tape. It definitely took some time and patience!
In the reviews on Amazon, some folks used thumbtacks to secure the candles to the ceiling, some used poster putty. Others hung them on already existing light fixtures. It was agreed the fishing lines were super long, but for people with cathedral ceilings, that was a bonus.
There’s no denying the final results. Our exhibit cases look amazing with the candles twinkling and swaying. And the wand is so much FUN to use. Honestly, we spent about 20 minutes turning the candles on and off both up close and at a distance. Sometimes one candle would lag behind the others and you would need to do another quick click, but generally they responded really well to the wand commands!
While these candles are expensive, the results speak for themselves. This is a really special set, and has earned a Pop Goes the Page five star review and two wands up!
Postscript: After displaying the candles in our cases for a couple months, we’ve learned that their “burn time” is about 20 hours before the batteries wear out. So while they’re great for parties or a special event, they’re not so great for long-term displays (or just get ready to burn through a lot of AAA batteries)!

Some even incorporate sound effects, such as cackling or witchy laughter, to enhance the spooky atmosphere. In addition to being a popular choice for Halloween decorations, the rocking witch also has historical and cultural significance. The image of a witch riding a broomstick dates back to ancient folklore and mythology, where witches were believed to possess magical powers and could fly through the air on broomsticks. This image has been perpetuated through literature and media, making the rocking witch a recognizable symbol of Halloween. Whether used as a standalone decoration or incorporated into a larger Halloween display, the rocking witch adds a touch of whimsy and fright to any Halloween celebration. It brings the magic of witches and the supernatural into the festivities, creating a memorable and thrilling experience for both children and adults alike..
Reviews for "Rock On with your Broom: Rocking Witch Halloween Accessories"
1. Jane Smith - 2 stars - I was really excited to try out the Rocking Witch Halloween decoration, but I have to say, I was pretty disappointed with my purchase. The motion sensor didn't work properly, so the witch only rocked sporadically. Additionally, the sound effects were cheesy and not at all scary. Overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations and didn't add much to my Halloween decor. I wouldn't recommend it.
2. Mark Johnson - 1 star - I found the Rocking Witch Halloween decoration to be incredibly cheaply made. The materials felt flimsy and the witch quickly fell apart after a few uses. The motion sensor was also hit-or-miss, sometimes not activating at all. The sound effects were more annoying than spooky, which was disappointing. I was not impressed with this product and would advise against purchasing it.
3. Sarah Taylor - 2 stars - The Rocking Witch Halloween decoration looked great in theory, but in reality, it didn't deliver. The witch barely rocked back and forth and the motion sensor failed to detect movement most of the time. The sound effects were faint and lackluster. It was a letdown and didn't add the eerie touch to my Halloween display that I had hoped for. I won't be buying this product again.
4. Michael Anderson - 1 star - The Rocking Witch Halloween decoration was a huge disappointment. The build quality was poor and the witch started falling apart within days. The motion sensor didn't work at all, making it useless as a jumping scare. The sound effects were barely audible and definitely not spooky. Save your money and look for a higher quality and more reliable Halloween decoration elsewhere.
