Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

I say the candy bag is half full, you say it's half empty. Meh.

I'm going hunting for Halloween stuff tomorrow. I'll report back my findings.

We expect a field report every 30 minutes.

Hrrumph, I say!

What if I die before Friday, I won't get to share in the joy of discovery!?

Dollar Tree had more Halloween stuff out. Some miniature skulls, some crows, and even some fake body parts, which consisted of some severed limbs, a brain, a liver and a heart. There were also some bigger skulls. Not much selection yet, but I couldn't resist getting a couple of those crows and a bag of those miniature skulls.

I bought a Newt Gingrich mask off of Ebay for seven bucks with shipping, so I guess that technically counts as my first Halloween purchase of the year.....

Bought one pumpkin scent candle some window hangings and a led lit fake candle it looks
great bought it at Cracker Barrel.

Big Lots: Still clearing out the gardening stuff, but they did have an aisle of fall decorations, and an aisle of Halloween stuff. Same stuff as last year so far; I do like the three talking skulls.

Target: Nothing.

Walmart: Nothing.

Factory Card and Party Outlet: They've had a section at the back of the store where they never cleared out the Halloween stuff, so that was still there.... Mostly cheap masks and some hats. But they were also setting up an empty aisle where the Halloween stuff will go, so I'll check back in a week or two.

Michael's: Jackpot!!! Halloween stuff is out... I liked the little unfinished wooden coffins (I'm thinking a dark walnut stain and a picture cut to size inside might make great Crimbo gifts for the extended family this year!!), and I saw Andy's miniatures, including his pumpkin store one. And I couldn't resist a few wee tombstones to cheer up my computer desk:















They're about four inches tall, and only two bucks a piece!

Since my Newt mask hasn't arrived yet, I'm calling these my first Halloween pick-up of the year!

Nothing further to report.

wow, that was quite official.

It's the training.

The Michael's I went to had quite a bit of Halloween no Animated Props though

Or the badgering.

Did you choose the unfinished coffins that laugh when opened? I got me 2 of those and one 'regular'.

Christmas Tree Shop has a ton of fall and Halloween decorations out now, most of it is kind of Americana themed. Need munny.

I liked the laughing ones, but for a couple of bucks extra they weren't really worth it.

I'm going to take them apart and use the noise-maker elsewhere.

Inside a medicine cabinet or someone's desk drawer at work.
