Hoping more stuff comes in soon so I can use them.

So which pieces did you get?

A few days ago I got the train. I figured I would make a huge graveyard in the center of the tracks, so I got the Forlorn Cemetery. I also got 2 smaller pieces, the Witches Laundry Day and Bone Appetit. I loved the House of Wax, but it's so big and I have so many pieces already I would have no room to add such a large piece unless I expand my base and build out. Also liked the Witches Brew House, but again the size problem. And even at 50% off, they are still expensive. It's so hard to decide, I love them all. It seems Michaels only carries their exclusive pieces and not everything in the line. Too bad, there were so many other pieces I saw online I liked.

I went Saturday and picked up the Forlorn Cemetery Mortuary and the Gate Keeper with my coupons. I always display my pieces on different levels by stacking the boxes under a black cloth and so the Gate Keeper can be pushed up against one of the sides of the boxes and it will look like an entrance to a cave.

Man, I'm gonna have to go there tomorrow. You guys have gotten me all excited now.

oh awesome

Just got back from Michaels. They had a lot out. I piked up a bottle of 'Organic Bat Brains' and got the 50% off coupon. So I'll be back there in a day or so to pick up a Spooky Town piece.

Just felt good to see some real Halloween stuff in a store.

How is your Oct-o-squeeze doing? Did it run pretty smooth last halloween?
No hiccups? I don't know if they are going to sell it this year but if they do, I might get it.

My Octosqueeze is going fine and I never had any problems with it. But alas, Michaels isn't carrying it this year.

I went back yesterday, decided to not get any more houses as I got 2 for Christmas last year, and 2 more already.

I am buying a bunch of littler stuff this week.

Yesterday I got:

Funeral Photo
Fiber Optic Tree

I still need:

Witch & Wizard Street Lamps, Halloween Purple Light (2 sets), Illuminated Tomb Stones & Lighted Pumpkin w/ Black Cats and one more table accent

I loved the funeral photo. I thought it was pretty unique.
I also want to get the Lon Chaney wolfman and the Frankenstein figurines.
