We stopped by yesterday evening to take a peek. We fell in love with the talking Gemmy Skeleton...It has a microphone so its mouth moves to your own words..and can be hooked up to an IPod...pretty cool. We bit...we bought.

Later that night I looked online to see where a buddy in FL could get one (Halloween USA is not in FL)...Needless to say I found the exact same thing at Walmart online for $100 cheaper.

Went back to the store to see if they would at least come close to matching the price...I even offered to split it with them...No cigar.

All I want to say is to be very careful when purchasing from Halloween USA....check the prices elsewhere before you purchase.

Hopefully I can prevent at least one person from feeling like a complete sucker

I'm not sure what you bought...but Halloween USA Arlington TX has a talking skeleton that was less than $100. Most things I saw there were at or below other costs. I bought an led eyes cat there for $14...it was $24 in other places. Big hairy spider...$79, Party City its $99. (note - I have no affiliation or friends there.)

This is the talking skeleton from Gemmy:
29509
Halloween USA listed it at $239.00 and Walmart has it for $139.00. The store has a "price matching guarantee...but that only applies to "printed ad" prices.
Don't get me wrong...they have some great stuff I just want to prevent anyone else from getting burned.
