Thorn Kill Creek, thanks so much for the pics. I too love the Dracula bar sign. Love the shape and name of it. I'm definitely going to pick that one up.

HG had two display racks as you walked in the door with Halloween. The large gargoyle with the glow in the dark eyes, smaller gargoyles, decor stuff. I bought a four armed skull and bone candleabra. The center top was broken, don't know what was actually supposed to be there. Had a red clearance sticker Reg 12.99 Clr 6.50. Also found a stack of three skulls candle holder for 12.99 hidden back in another section of the store. I post pics of those later. Also went to the Michaels in Regency, they had laid out the opposite side from the Lemax. Peg hooks and shelves with labels not a bit of merchandise though. Hopefully their truck will be in tomorrow.

Thanks for the pictures Thorn Kill Creek !!

I have to get the Dracula sign from Big Lots. Do you remember the pricing on it ??

Sadly Ross is the only place around here that has Halloween stuff out yet. But I thought they were thinning out too! I asked one sales lady that was very helpful what day they get shipment in. She said everyday but Sunday they get a truck. She also said they put Halloween stuff out (from the back and from the truck) everyday by noon.

I desperately NEED a Home Goods store near us!! Or I will be making a road trip! lol

So my Victorian Trading Co. catalog just got here. I'm a big fan of the ye olde Halloween so I love their stuff every year. Wish there was a store I could look at it in person, but online is better than nothing. Also, if you purchase early you get a bit of a discount on most fall things.

heads up on the little gargoyles holding lanterns from homegoods! If you are looking to open the lantern up for a candle! go in through the bottom! I bought two of these last year and broke the lantern on one, you have to peel off the felt on the bottom and twist the bottom votive holder it will come out, if you have already broke the latern you can get replacements from micheals.
Be carful, the glass is really fragile!

The closest Home Goods store is a 3 hour drive one way from me. I will just have to make a day of Halloween Hunting with my wonderfully supportive Mother!! That will be fun so I guess there is a bright side to it!

I absolutely love the gargoyle (surprise, surprise) that Big Lots is carrying this year; I'm definitely going to have to pick at least one up. Thanks for posting pics, Thorn Kill Creek.

It pays to call ahead.....I saw the thread around 8:30 last evening so I did a quick location search and there are 2 stores almost the same exact distance apart in different directions so I called the one store and they didn't have any so I called the other and they said they had one sitting out....I asked if they could hold it for me til the next day since I lived so far away and they said they would....Left here at 8am so I'd get there when they opened at 9:30 this morning....They had it in the back room sitting on a flat cart and wheeled it right out and the one guy even helped me load it in the rain....Very helpful bunch at the store....So call ahead and maybe save a trip if they don't have one....Good Luck!....ZR
