Decorating for Halloween is probably one of the best things we do all year (the spiders! the witches! the pumpkins!), and one item we're obsessing over this year is definitely this coffin candle from Etsy ($30, originally $35). At first glance, it's just an ordinary candle that's shaped like a coffin, perfect for combining with the rest of your scary Halloween decorations.

Keep reading to find out more about what lies in the dark depths of our new favorite coffin candle.
