I wonder if homedepot or lowes knows why this time of year besides wood why they sell so much pink insulation(or blue) and pvc pipe.

I wonder if they know how much the home haunter uses this stuff. Maybe its best if they didnt know.

Heheh. wonder the same thing myself. Especially when they see a house-wifey looking woman piling 8 sheets of the stuff in their rental pick-up.

Don't tell 'em! They'll raise the price!

I really think they are too worried about getting up all of their Christmas stuff.

In reality, we are probably a very small market. And lets keep it that way by robbing landfills and dumpsters and looting thrift stores! LOL!

I don't know if the building supply stores know but I found this while searching:

So the foam manufacturers know...

Oh, the people at our Home Depot/Lowe's/Ace Hardware know. Ghouliet tells them. And hands them a business card to our haunt if they seem even mildly interested.

If they know, then why dont they have a place showing everyone's props that they made to inspire more sales??? Oh, that right they must be college grads so how could they think of it.

I think about this too. I mean, what do they really think a 17 year old girl is doing buying 6 feet of PVC pipes and Great Stuff?

I know our Menards has figured it out or at least a few of the employees. I was getting some help with finding the right pvc fixtures and the guy who came to help asked "Halloween?" When we said yes he just nodded his head and said he thought so. Same thing with the cashier. Although she saw our entire haul which was quite extensive.

I think they know. I've seen the pvc prices go up, though that could be from the use of plastic prices. Nah.....
