Yea, PC is party city. I don't know if they will have the spider this year. but here's what it looks like...

Party City - Monstrous Spider

He is spooky! Where I live we have these spiders with kind of woody looking legs and they give me the creeps, they also move kind of fast too and dive bomb down to the ground at your feet or on the couch or bed. In other words they are not shy and run from you. They seem to run towards you!! eekkk. Anyway the PC pics remind me of those spiders. I noticed they had them in 2 sizes. Thanks for the additional info and pics. I definitely have not seen these in the stores before. I would remember them

Just looking through emails and saw that IMPROVEMENTS CATALOG's weekly special this week includes some halloween items--up to 60% off on select ones.

BTW I see they have the reaching skelly guy that Michaels has in stock. I'm not partial to inflatables but have to say I find the vampire's coffin kind of interesting. Some decent pics of the products on the site and a video of the animated skelly reaching guy.

Yep- they were 9.99 ea. I didn't think that was too bad since I had been considering ordering some online that cost more.

[QUOTE=Tumblindice;694863]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.

The witch and skeleton guy were both pretty cool. My son loved the skeleton butler. He kept jumping up to set off the sensor- the look on his face while watching the butler talk was priceless. LOL

BTW- stopped in at Biglots yesterday and they didn't have any Halloween out. The cashier told me that they had the stuff in the back and would be putting it out in the next week or two.

although i'm not big on inflatables either, i do have 3. a vampire, frankinstein, and a pumpkin. i do like a few though. there is a tree, a hearse, an organ player, the vampire coffin, the headless horseman, and the haunted houses.
with all the postings of what's available, i am really looking forward to this year. i just hope we get a lot of it around here. last year there were no lifesize animatronics of any kind in any of the stores in this area. there were some decent 4 foot animated characters i picked up. heads up harry and a face ripper. i just hope my pocket book is big enough for the pickings.

Went to Michael's on Saturday. Got the witch & the light post. Wanted to get the "reaching skelly guy", but the box said "for indoor use only". Which doesn't make sense since it has a stake coming out the bottom. Even in the pic in your link, it shows him in the ground, outside. Does anyone have it already? And if so, did you use it outside?

I want the witch!!! How much was she? She wasn't marked at the store I went to.

I went to two different Home Goods this past weekend and went rather nuts. Both stores had almost completely different stuff- so I'm wondering if that is an actual practice or if they just are putting different things out at different times...

Also went to two Big Lots- one had nothing as it was going out of business, the other had one row and I have to be honest, it was the most overpriced junk I've seen in a while. Thin, plastic pumpkins with lights in them for 10 and 20 bucks, really? Most of the items weren't that special and the Dracula's and Morgue signs just seemed rather "eh" and cheap as well.
BIG Disappointment- as last year I found a ton of good stuff there. And cheaper as well.
