Thread: Spookytown at Micheal's

Tweet

So...I walk into Micheal's at about 4pm the other day looking for a frame. As soon as I walked in the door I could hear it.......faint screams, a hint of a Transylvanian accent, witches cackling

They are setting up the Lemax display!!!!!!

I (literally...and I mean as in I really did ) RAN to the aisle from which the sounds were emanating, and stood there jumping up and down, clapping my hands (yes, folks, I am a grown up ). One of the employees walked by the end of the aisle, saw me, and backed up and stood there just looking at me.

As I turned to look at her, and she said, "By the way, we close at 9." and walked off. LOL!!!

Hahahaha how cute!
My 2 Michael's stores have the set ups done but no sound or lights yet.

Great story MHooch! We stopped by our Michael's a few days ago and heard the same familiar sounds as you. They had most of the LeMax out, along with a few other decor items. Fun to look at. I liked the Ferris Wheel a lot. While my youngest son and I stood there looking at the stuff, a couple of ladies walked by and one said "I can't believe they have Halloween stuff out already. That's ridiculous." I felt like saying "about as ridiculous as Christmas stuff being out in September?"
Michaels is always good for an early Halloween fix.

I'm glad someone has a happy storie.
I walked in the halloween aisle and the guy setting up looked really mad. I can't say I blame him. I was picking everything up.

MHooch your a hoot.

Hooch, heeheehee!! I can just picture you now. I think it's so funny that you went in at 4 and the employee reminded you that they close at 9...I don't knowwwww...that's only 5 hours to look at it all!

Heh heh heh...I love hearing stories like this...hey Hooch! How are ya.

There is a decoration store near me in Pasadena. I forget their name, only been there once, but they deal in holiday decorations. Around Halloween they set up a couple of areas with props working and sound effects and stuff. Flashing lights and weird howling noises! I am thinking of visiting them come October...!

Hi tomanderson!! Good to see you!!

And thanks, everybody for all the nice comments.

I need to go back and see how the display is coming along, there were some really awesome new pieces...really liked the ferris wheel.

Hooch your awesome

I'm sad.

I walked into Micheal's today to pick up a bunch of stuff for my haunt and invites when I strolled over to the Halloween section and it looked like it was robbed! Half the stuff was gone already.

And Lemax? Forget it! There was maybe 10% of what they had started with. It's not even October yet!
