Wall Decal - Halloween Bat with Red Eyes

It's strange that the bat would be so closely associated with Halloween. In ancient times, giant bonfires were set to ward off evil spirits. Tons of flying insects were attracted to the light and warmth of these fires, and this abundance of prey or food brought in large numbers of bats. Rather than being thanked for reducing the numbers of insects, the bats were thought to be scouts or harbingers of the evil spirits being warded off. This was further enhanced, in the 17th century, with the discovery of the "vampire bat". After this discovery, the vampire becomes a popular character in myth, legend and literature. Some versions of the vampire's story include his/her ability to morph into a bat, sometimes a giant bat. Embracing that colorful history, this fabulous wall decal embodies the "frightening" side of the Halloween bat -- all black save those eerie, blood red eyes and, of course, fangs. The beauty of these decals is their ability to be placed and peeled and placed and peeled. With careful storage, they can be used year after year to decorate your home or business for this trick or treating holiday.
