Do you guys think Wally- world dropped the Halloween ball this year? It seems near me, they didn't carry the cool stuff they did last year!

I am glad someone else noticed this as well. I thought for a second it was just me. You are right, they seem to lack this year. They do have a few items I would like to get on the after Halloween sale. For the most part though yea they kinda suck this year.
I don't know about your store but here they turn the entire lawn and garden center on the inside into a Halloween section, but this year they made it this whole big tailgate football center. Not a problem with me since I love football, but they did seem to scale back Halloween.

They had cr@p this year!! I kept going by to check if anything new had come in, then the aisle started getting smaller and smaller. I thought maybe they had a new buyer or something that just didn't know what to do. Their decorations were the same old, same old, and they also had sucky costumes!
Kmart rocked this year. I was surprised. I bought several things from there including costumes, which I never do!! I almost bought the Cellar Dwellar until I spotted the Wall of Skulls which totally went with my haunt.There will come a time when you have a chance to do the right thing.
I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

My Walmarts Halloween section was really small. Just costumes and such. But man, the Christmas section is huge.

Yep I agree, I've visited the local Super Walmart and a "regular" Walmart and their selection compaired to past years is lacking.
Even Biglots and Garden Ridges selection this year does not compair to previous years.
K-Mart had a much better selection of interesting and useful items this year and last year they had the best selection/price for the after Halloween sale.
An of course there is Party City where you can buy a blow mold Blucky for $24.99!

my wal mart sucked too.... last week they moved the ONE sadly decorated area..(wooden coffin w/ a pumpkin head body-table w/ candles & candies) and filled it with Christmas trees!!! This is between an aisle of costumes and another aisle of props!! You gotta walk around the dang christmas trees to get from the costumes to the props (what few props there were)

That is strange to hear Biglots and Garden Ridge not having good selection. I thought Garden Ridge had one of the best selections of Halloween stuff they have had in years. Maybe it was just mine though. On the flip side to that though they are lacking in the Christmas section from previous years. They normally have a lot of cool stuff but not as much as past years. Still a huge section as normal, just seems to lack.
One place I was surprised to have a good selection which isn't great but some pretty good stuff is Wal Greens and I would have never thought they would.
