Thread: You might be a home haunter if.....

Tweet

When you are at home depot and the salesman asks you what you're working on and you tilt your head back and reply, "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

You have little white beads of styrofoam lining all the the cracks in your driveway.

Yeah, your garbage cams are full of styro peanuts, and you're trying to figure out if you already have that really cool gravestone you want to order. Also, the top of your library shelves are too full to accept the latest Jim Shore figurines and that really cool skull your neighbor just gave you.

I haven't gotten a chance to read them all but I had to add my own. I'm sorry if any of these are repeats.

You're moving and your first requirement isn't being in the best school system or the nicest neighborhood, but being in an area where there are lots ToTs and people actually decorate for Halloween.
You were thrilled to move in next door to another Haunter.
You get a job at Lowe's so you can get a discount on tools and materials to build more Halloween props and first dibs on markdowns.
Your vacations are planned for Halloween and local Halloween conventions.
You see someone buying pieces of foamboard insulation and your first thought is "they're building tombstones"...
You see someone buying a Blucky and comment about it only to get a weird look.
You then spend 10 minutes explaining what a "Blucky" is only to get even more confused looks.
You see an ugly display chandelier on clearance that is dusty and covered in webs and you think its perfect for your haunted house.
You get you friend to rewire said light fixture so you can plug it in (or do it yourself).
You talk about Halloween so much your friends and co-workers now know terms that usually only Haunters know.
Your friends and co-workers now know how to build their own props just from hearing about it so much from you.
They also bring you Halloween items they are getting rid and let you know where the Halloween stores are by them.
The only presents you get now are Halloween related.
Your choose plants and trees for your yard based how they would look in your haunt.
You work overtime at work and you think "now I can buy more Halloween stuff" not "now I can pay down my debt".
You can spot Halloween clearance from over a mile away year round!
You cheered when a store vacated a spot in your local shopping strip because now a Halloween store could move in.

One more:

You noticed one of your co-workers with a Michaels coupon and ask her jokingly if she going to buy some funkins only to get a blank stare followed by "what's a funkin?"

you have to take sleeping pills so your brain will allow sleep and quit thinking about how you want or need to set up for the big event.................

You buy clearance items as halloween props

you see vintage or used things as a potential halloween prop

You find yourself carving body parts out of whatever food you're eating. You know you can preserve and use them.
