I don't get out on web forums much, but a Halloween forum sounds REALLY interesting. I'm a lover of horror movies, (creature feature fan) but not into slashers much as there are exceptions to the rule. I came across this as I was checking out An American Werewolf in London pics to see if I...

I was online and saw an ad for a show called Haunt X next month. It's at the Fairplex in Pomona, which is in outside of L.A. They bill themselves as "HauntX is a haunter’s retreat and trade show for Halloween lovers, yard haunter’s, home haunter’s, and pro haunter’s." Does anyone know anything...

I just saw that the Midwest Haunters Convention is going to be in Chicago this year, this should be an interesting change? The Pre-convention bus tours will be different! I just wonder how people are going to react, I have a feeling some are going to like the move while others are going to...

I went to spirit halloween, home depot and a few other stores on november 1 but there was nothing left interesting. Any good deals going year around ? I heard about a sale at Spirit halloween around june-july when they release their new animatronics ? I would love to buy some new props and...

I thought this might be an interesting discussion and may help some people out. I have two "storage decks" (as I call them), the shed, a loft in the garage and just this year started hanging stuff on the fence. Here are some pictures. Maybe include some of your pictures so we can see...

As usual I did a fair bit of decorating for Halloween, which is probably strange since I live out in the country where I have never gotten any trick or treat activity. I continue to do it every year though; I enjoy it. I try to go for more of an Edward Gorey look but not a gory look. The...

Has anyone ever cast “pretend” spells in a cauldron to entertain trick or treaters on Halloween? Last year we put dry ice in our cauldron, pretending to cast a poison Apple spell, but I’m looking for something a bit more reactive or interesting this year.. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on...

We always seem to manage to find some little bits of halloween on our vacation. This year, vacation was much later than normal, and wanting to get out of the heat, we headed for Tahoe. Looking at various activities around the area, you knew my family was going to hit Donner lake and the...

Didn't see a current thread yet, and y'all should definitely take a look at their site... especially anyone upset about Grandin Road's lack of figures. Just got their Halloween catalog - it's got some great props and many on sale for the kickoff!! I attached images of each, but they uploaded...

Is it Halloween YET????????? new member here, From Wisconsin! Wife and I moved into a House last summer and I FINALLY got to decorate for Halloween (and Christmas...) WooooHooooo While our weather patterns here in Wisconsin make for some... shale we say interesting outdoor decorating...

I am not sure just where make & take announcements go... Haunters! Saturday, May 20 is time for a treasure hunt! You don't even need to be a pirate, but feel free to wear a tricorn hat and eye patch anyway. Look out in the garage, the shed, the storage unit, up in the attic, and down in the...

Happened to notice these suitcases when I stopped in a store today from It Luggage. The tagging on it says "New Ultra Strong", 10 year warranty. Perfect slide, 8 wheel spinners. Expander 25% Extra Capacity. Didn't check out the price. If this year is similar to past years, Ross will start...

New Article="GOOD!" She is a young woman , writing for a local tourist magazine, but guess what? She got everything RIGHT! I am Very Happy with the work that she did. (Now if the photographer could have only taken a picture of the back of my head, instead of my old, scary face! ) Plain to...

Hello im Junior and I joined to site to see what all the other Halloween things this site

I just wanted to say that this forum gets me in trouble! I have left for work late countless times because I am just way toooo busy looking at what you guys are up to for Halloween. It's a problem. Stop being so creative and interesting! Now, I'm 5 minutes behind schedule...again! Anyone else...

My Big Lots didn't have any actual Halloween items out yet, but I found some things that are interesting and useful today. First, some "carn-evil lights" that are now marked 25%, so $9 a box. These Kaleidoscope projection spotlights in white or blue are now $15 each (regularly $20). These...

Taking a 4th of July weekend trip to NYC, staying in mid-town Manhattan. Are there any places to visit that may be interesting for a home haunter / halloween enthusiast? Prop shops, sound/light equipment shops perhaps, theatre gear, museums, etc? Tannen's magic shop or Fantasma (thinking about...

Following in her brother's footsteps, Talia come home with homework that requires a costume. Kids get to research and "become" someone from history. Write a 2 minute speech, and stand as statues, then act out their speech when parents come put a 'coin' in their bucket. The school sent...
