Thread: First Halloween sighting in stores...

Tweet

Eyegore, thanks for the info. The spider at Kmart/Sears is close to the one that Costco had (I think the Costco one was larger still, maybe 9 feet, and was $10 less expensive--Costco does get pretty good pricing when they have stuff in the store). It's still something I'll consider.

Who's PC?

AAARGH!!!

Went into Michaels this morning armed with three 50% off coupons. I was hoping to buy some lighting and props. Well, they have all of the new display stuff "on sale" for 20% off this week -- which means the 50% off coupons won't work!!

Again, I must say, "AAAAARGH!!!"

So at this point my wishlist for the year consists of the scaretaker, MM and the reaper of souls. Im sure that list will grow as more comes out.

No Halloween yet at my local Homegoods store .

Gordman's has some Halloween stuff out!!! A few indoor decorations like ceramic JOL's & Skellies.

Went to Michaels and AC Moore today and all the new "lighted stuff" was as mentioned above 20% off so coupon not was good. Saw neat stuff but no witch they were just putting it out so skeleton butler was still in box.
Here are pics from AC Moore no tmuch out yet maybe half an aisle.

That's who I thought too but didn't find anything on their website so thought maybe I should ask. I did find the Kmart/Sears one online. Love online searches. Heck without it and threads like this you wouldn't know about half of the stuff out there.

Thanks Thumblindice for the AC Moore pics even though I don't live near one. I like those spotted spiders. Also the Gemmy skull spirit ball. Thanks to posts like yours it seems that this will be our first look at Gemmy stuff out there this year. I wonder when Gemmy will get around to updating up their website with Halloween items. It was so nice last year and really helpful finding items.

Went to Michaels today...TONS of stuff out. I was so excited and overwhelmed. I bought a couple of gortraits and a spider that drops down from the ceiling. The only thing on sale was the lighted animated stuff and the Lemax. The standard decorations were not on sale. I got a 40% off coupon when I checked out. Can't wait to go back and use it next week! Here's a couple of pictures of the portraits.

Thanks for the pics of the portraits, they look great !!

Do you remember how much they were ?

A trip to MICHAELS for some eyeballs and here are some additional photos (click on photos to enlarge; click on All sizes for largest pic). I saw a number of things I liked. I definitely want the crawling skelly hand. I also played around triggering the small skelly guy (pictured in Michaels8 photo) with the sensor in his nose and liked him. As I recall, he talks and then opens his arms reaching out for you. He's only a torso and would need to be positioned to be triggered by your ToT as others have mentioned earlier. Still he won me over.
