We rely on Whitechapel Ltd. for solid, high-quality home hardware. Their offerings are understated and reliably classic, so we certainly didn't expect to find Halloween-themed decor there. But sure enough...
It's a bat door knocker. Hanging upside-down, the bat is made of cast iron and coated with a protective wax finish. We love it as a subtle nod to the upcoming spooky day. Purchase for just under $34 at Whitechapel.

bats represent good luck in some cultures. they are beautiful little creatures, and I could see this on my door year round.
This post reminds me of this light fixture: http://www.rejuvenation.com/fixshowC327/templates/selection.phtml
I love it!
I want it! But I doubt it would come in time for Halloween. I will check on shipping. So cool!
I love this.
