I found the vulture lamp post today. I got 2 to place on the fireplace mantle or on a side table. Not sure yet, but what all the pictures I’ve seen failed to show is how truly small it is compared to the crow lamp post. There’s a reason for the price.
But they will look look great on each side of your mantle !
 
Gather round friends! Guess where I went? I was strolling out the door with wild abandon when my husband caught me and asked where I was going THIS time. I told him, “Hmmm, hard to say friend...” Not the correct answer apparently so he decided to accompany me ha ha so I didn’t bring anything home although that ghost was coming if I found it. I didn’t. Also, no vulture lamppost. The giant naked skeleton was awesome enough he even commented on it.

At this point I fully expect to walk into Dollar Tree & see a 9 1/2 foot skelly for $5. I'm so over giant props & we haven't even had them that long.
 
My local store is not fully stocked yet either but, I got two of the dragons! They had 4 left out of the 8 they received. I noticed the color of them did not exactly match. I took all 4 off the display and moved them around until I picked the 2 that were very close in the color shade I desired. Several people looked at me very strangely but, I didnt care. Then I showed them my youtube video from last years haunt. I think Im gonna need a boatload of candy for 2023 compared to the truck load I gave out last year.
 
Went to my local store in the burbs north of Atlanta and I honestly couldn't tell if the Halloween stuff wasn't completely set up yet, or was already picked over. It was scattered over several non-adjacent aisles, mixed in with clearance summer stuff, and the whole store was in general disarray. Looked more like a Ross Dress For Less than At Home.

That being said, the only thing I saw that I even remotely considered was the bust, but the finish was scratched in a couple of places and I decided against it. Might regret that later, I'm not sure.
 
Morganmac, it sounds like we are neighbors. I've been hitting the Buford store and some stuff has definitely disappeared (looking at you raven lamp posts) but they have also been stocking almost every day. It is in several aisles here as well. None of the resin ghosts or vulture lamposts have hit the floor although I haven't gone today. If anyone needs the giant skulls this store must have gotten an entire truckload!

SO MANY GIANT SKULLS. What do you do with that many giant skulls?!

Yeah, my usual radius I'm willing to "haunt" for Halloween stuff is generally Kennesaw/Marietta. I might venture further out, but not on a regular basis.
 
Exercised some restraint today and only bought one of the dragons. Told myself I didn't need it and that I was just killing some time before work, but it's just too gorgeous. At $130 I figure it won't be THAT hard to sell next year if I end up deciding it looks silly with my display. Even the non-halloween shoppers were peeping my dragon in the check out line.

The Halloween stuff was kind of spread out all throughout the store.
 
SCORE! I’ve been in the local store so many times, at this point I’m waiting for someone to remind me I need to clock in. The ghost was still showing up as not available online but oddly enough just after I got home it is there so the online inventory is solid.

I found it interesting that they have a skeleton hand ringing a bell and Cracker Barrel has an animated one that is very similar. ScareyCarrie, took that pic for you my friend!

Saw some new stuff too. Let’s begin shall we?

Do you know how much the large glow in the dark skeleton was?
$54.99

Mine just got them too today. I'm going to post a pic later when it's dark to show how much he would glow under a black light.
Spirit Halloween had a glow in the dark skelly but he was spray painted with the glow in the dark paint. That one glowed like crap.
