TL;DR
  • Google has brought back nine Halloween-themed chimes for compatible Nest doorbells, letting you greet trick-or-treaters with spooky sounds.
  • A recent Google Home app update lets you preview the chimes directly on your phone without ringing the doorbell.
  • The Halloween chimes are available for a limited time and will likely disappear on November 1.
