Halloween*Seasonal*-*The Horchow Collection

Thanks for sharing GHost of Spookie. I did'nt know Horchow carried Halloween items....I think I am going to get the guest towels, so cute!



I have been searching for fun Halloween soaps and bathroom items. I found candy corn soap, and I thought I would share, for those who might be interested. Looks like they also carry candy corn and fall inspired...like pumpkin spice...bath fizzies, and candles too.

Just looking through Sneak Peak Buzz Club ads for the coming week on BigLots! (Sun 10/11 - Sat. 10/17). All Halloween Horror DVDs $3.00 each. Titles vary by store. If you are doing prizes at your halloween party this might make a suitable prize.

Candy will also be on sale ($2 & $4 bags), some capes, kids costumes, girls Barbie costumes, Pumpkin or skull LED string lights, lit pumpkins, bat or spider icicle string lights (indoor/outdoor), 20 pc. lit boneyard kit (21 inch ground breakers. flashing eyes, color changing skulls, motion activated strobe lights/sound box).

BTW Halloweenie1 that soaps looks delicious!

I was in Garden Ridge yesterday and they were completely out of the natural bone skellies that look like 4th quality buckies. Still had several of the charred looking ones. The stuff they have is really picked over, too.

We got one of the charred ones and found a broken natural one that I can fix. They won't do any discounts either - they said they took such a hit last year, that nothing is being discounted until the after-Halloween sales even if it's broken.



Lowes had their grim reaper on "clearance" for $75. The one with the light up lantern and eyes and I think he talks, but the floor model wasn't working. The stirring witch is still full price, tho.

Home Depot??? Our Home Depot basically carried zilch this year. Ace Hardware basically the same (oh, they had flashlights and blinking necklaces). The only hardware store worth going to in my area for Halloween is Lowe's. They really deserve all my hardware purchases too. They didn't carry as much this year as last but at least they had some big props, lighting, small items, tombstones, fogger, and stuff like that. Yeah Lowe's!!!!

Took a little drive today to go to a BIG LOTS not as close to me. They had one of the lit Dracula Pub signs left ($15)--every other store I called had sold out of them. I did get it. I'm working on a project I'll post a picture of later using them and I'm really liking it. Had my BuzzClub "20% off entire order" coupon with me and thought I would pick up one of the lit Bats Motel or Dracula Dentist signs. Instead I found a few signs the same size as those which BigLots carried during the summer--Tequila Sunrise bar signs. They were marked down to $3.20 which sounded much better than $15. So I'll follow Bozz's lead and modify them later (came down to $2 each with coupon--great deal). Managed to find one of the crows with the flashing red eyes that worked and looked good. The last thing I picked up were some of the Halloween promo DVDs - $3 each. They had some new titles and I probably could have grabbed a few more but I didn't have the time to look through all of them. I did buy 2 DVDS: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein with Robert DeNiro and an IMAX movie called Haunted Castle (that one was $4). Got by at the register for under $30. Shelves were starting to look a little scarce on some items. They did have a lot of nice costumes at this location however.

Halloween*Seasonal*-*The Horchow Collection

their stuff is simply WOW , but the prices are a bit high , but the stuff is WOW

I got that glitter skull for $1, on the horchow website it's $30 WTF? Wayyy overpriced! If you go on walmart's website they have a lot of cool stuff.

Stopped in BIG LOTS tonight and bought 3 DVDs: 1 @ $3 - MGM's Midnite Movies "Die Monster Die" with Boris Karloff, and 2 @ $6 previously viewed titles: Twilight and Sweeney Todd. I'm looking forward to watching all 3. I think I saw Die Monster Die in the theaters when I was a kid.
