Gather round, boys and ghouls, and let me tell you a little Halloween story. The year was 2002. I was dressed as none other than Britney Spears. It was 25 degrees in New England, and my parents still let me strut around in a baby crop top, because let’s be real…parenting was different back then (see the photo evidence below).
While we were gone trick-or-treating, my mom left an entire bin of full-sized candy bars outside. But when we returned, we discovered that some greedy trick-or-treaters — as told to us by our neighbors — had taken every single bar. The rest of the kids went home thinking we were the neighborhood Scrooges of Halloween, the type who hand out raisins and toothbrushes.
If only we’d had the Candy Cam by Ring.
Ghost Candy Cam
$199.99

Comes with “a full color view.”
This thing is pure genius — and yes, it’s real. For under $200, Ring (you know, the company whose cameras are on every other colonial in the suburbs) has recently released the Candy Cam, a combination candy bowl and camera setup. It’s big enough for king-size Reese’s Cups and a healthy dose of home security — who says you can’t have it all?
Pumpkin Candy Cam
$199.99
Buy Now on ring
Includes “10x enhanced zoom.”
According to the product description, it features “an outdoor cam pro and costume cover.” Translation: it’s basically Big Brother, but make it festive.
And it even comes with costume options. You can go full ghost (channeling your inner Casper), black cat (just like Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus), or classic Pumpkin vibes (think Halloween Town). There are five different looks total — so whether you’re going for spooky or cute, there’s something for every household.
Black Cat Candy Cam
$199.99
Buy Now on ring
According to the brand, it features “a thirty-day trial of Ring home.”
So how does it work? Just like a normal Ring cam, except now, it’s keeping an eye on your candy bowl (and front door). You can check if you need a candy refill without leaving the couch every five minutes, or, more importantly, see if any trick-or-treaters are attempting a sugar heist. While that’s mostly meant as a joke (they’re kids, let them get all hopped up on sweets), it’s also a great way to join the Halloween fun without having to go out into the dark night.
Bat Candy Cam
$199.99

Ring has hundreds of five-star reviews.
One of the best features is that you can talk to whoever’s at your door. Give a little jump-scare (to the older trick-or-treaters) with a classic “BOO!”, or ask, “So what the hell are you?” to any child dressed as a Labubu.
The Ring Candy Cam is a limited-edition release — so grab it before October 31st. It’s a creative, convenient upgrade for your front porch, and honestly, you can repurpose it all year. Fill it with candy canes for Christmas, plastic eggs for Easter, or — for an after-dinner refresh, breath mints for Thanksgiving (please, don’t put turkey in there).
Spider Candy Cam
$199.99

Easy to personalize to your security preferences.
Snag the Candy Cam for $199.99 on Ring. Keep your Halloween all treats, no tricks, and your full-sized bars safe from any neighborhood monsters.
Oh yeah, and that Britney Spears costume in question… you can find it here.
