Halloween is no longer just about costumes and candy, it’s also about being smart. Ring adds some fun with some new settings and thematic tricks that let you decide exactly how spooky or peaceful you want your night to be.
The Ring Video Doorbell and some smart settings cover both ends of the spectrum, giving your front door complete coverage. If you’re looking to go all out for the festivities, Ring’s newest M&M’s Quick Reprise might be the perfect way to greet trick-or-treaters before they open the door. The brand has added six limited-time pre-recorded Halloween messages, including a “Ghost Test” and “Leave a Message After the Shout” that will automatically play when someone rings the doorbell. With a little silly touch, it’s perfect for entertaining kids and adults alike while they wait.
With two-way talk, you can go one step further and greet your kids with a cheerful “Happy Halloween!” Or a mischievous “Boo!” without stepping out. With a Ring Protect subscription, you can not only record, save, and share your funniest moments, but also review the footage the next day and relive every knock and laugh. Until November 1st, Ring is running a #MMSPrank competition on Instagram and TikTok, with weekly prizes and £150 awarded to the best quick replies.
On the other hand, if you want to keep things low-key, Ring’s quiet features will also come in handy. Snooze motion alerts to keep your phone from ringing overnight, or mute your house chime to avoid waking your kids or pets. Want to skip the door altogether? Use a quick reply like “We can’t answer the door at this time…” to turn off the porch light or set a timer on your smart bulb. And if you’re curious, you can check out the live view from the Ring app to see who’s visiting without even opening the door.
So whether you’re planning a jump scare, sharing some candy, or just quietly watching a movie, Ring’s Halloween feature lets you control every part of your night, including whether you want just one spooky chime at a time or none at all.
