Her design is so clever. Wish the stitching on the hat's underside was cleaner since it's so lit up by the LED. If my store ends up still having any during clearance I'd get her but I don't really do witches much so she'd be low priority on the budget list. I can imagine this would be great for other themes like a scarecrow standing next to a corn stalk but there's only a farmer's straw hat floating.

Daww the kitty is such a good color match. Come'on Cracker Barrel, send me a coupon!
I have witches, but they really are not a big part of my Halloween display. I thought this particular witch from Cracker Barrel would be children friendly and I could place her next to my candy. I do think she pushes the limit at $99 though but I’m not going to return her.

I believe these two blow molds have been recently added.
 
speaking of the resin props, my witch has a chip (the large witch and a 1/4 inch near her skirt where she is hollow). What can I repair that with?
I've had good luck with epoxy clay, specifically Milliput. It comes in different colors including black and was originally made to repair ceramics. Cheapish at my local craft store and probably on Amazon. The finish might be slightly different but you might be able to get it to match somehow.
 
I don’t check Cracker Barrel regularly, but I had thought the ghost dog was out of stock at one point, but is available to order.
I believe it was ghost cat that was OOS
 
Dear Cracker Barrel, for the love of all that is spooky, please, STOP putting dark items on dark backgrounds in the pictures. You can not even see the product. 😭

Also, what on earth is with the plush black bat duck? Wait… hold on, I forgot I have the little black bat rubber duck from Target. Oops, I retract the question.. um, so, let’s move on.

The plush bat that folds his wings over is back again although last year they had a brown and black one. I don’t even buy plushes but got the black one last year. Y’all, he is big, squishy, super soft and fabulous! Don’t miss out on him!
 
I placed an order for Animated Haunted House with Projection and the ghost dog (took me over enough to get free shipping).
We'll see how up to snuff the house is since last year's house was $40 (I did not get that one as it was missing something for my heart to go pitter patter).
So like, is this house with animation worth the extra $30?

I definitely really like the bouquet concept

but I'm holding off until the ghost cat restocks so I can get another cartful of stuff to just barely go over enough to get free shipping. Since there are free returns to store, I don't want to waste money on shipping if it means I'm on the fence. And unlike TJX I don't like doing cart fillers because it's always an entire production to do a return b/c there's a hundred senior citizens checking out their meal and the cashier's first day on the job (even though there are instructions for the cashier on the back of the packing label they still can't figure it out). Absolutely agony trying to return anything to Cracker Barrel. ((And mailing it back is just as frustrating. Took a month for it to eventually be refunded.))
 
I’m not gonna lie… I was shocked at this price
Me too. It’s really cute but yeah that price, ouch, I’ll watch and see if it goes on sale at all, if it sells out so be it. I’m still waiting to see what’s new from some other retailers before I go too crazy on my Halloween budget just yet.

The eyeball bouquet is cute, reminds me of the Ghoulish Garden pieces I have from Target. I have that, the animated candle and the ghost dog sitting in my cart.

I like that tree carrying the pumpkin too but it’s not as large as it seemed once I looked at the dimensions so I’m debating on that.
 
15" tall? That has to be a typo or a mighty large ornament.

They have a ghost cat ornament but I almost missed it because the picture is so dark. Interesting that they have the ghost and orange lit up house at the top of the page but not for sale yet. The house has my attention...

Couldn't take it anymore so I contacted Cracker Barrel online and sent the following:

"Your Halloween collection is always great and my friends and I can't wait to look online, as well as, come in and shop as soon as it gets on the floor every year but have a suggestion. The spooky vibe in the pictures online are cool but on dark items, you can barely see the product. It would be wonderful if at least one picture of those dark items are on a light background so you can see them better. Also, the ghost dog and cat are really cute, a ghost German shepherd ornament or figurine would be stellar. Thanks so much!"

The automated system sent back "Thank you for being a Cracker Barrel guest and reaching out to guest relations. Take care now." Why did I interpret "bless your heart" from that last sentence? I'm southern so 100% know what bless your heart means ha ha ha !:ROFLMAO:
 
Wow of course I get this email a day after my order

In-store only though....do you think they'll set up sooner than the usual July 4th?


Anyone else hate on the CR website how right clicking (or scroll wheel click) on a photo doesn't open it in a new window? It only works on the text under the photo.
Looking like a complete idiot when browsing only to see my "let's narrow down what I liked to wishlist them" tabs be utter garbage
