I called my local Cracker Barrel yesterday and a cheery young-sounding woman said the trucks filled with goods had arrived, and the centerpiece of the country store would be stocked by the weekend! Checking the stuff out on line is okay, but there's nothing like seeing in the store first-hand!

Halloween merchandise out at the Raleigh restaurant! I bought the skull lamp. They only had one other than the one on display, so if you are interested, you might want to get yours now. I can see this item disappearing at the $40 price. Nothing else I just had to have.

I received my lamp today. I think it's nice quality altho I might see what I can do to 'age' the skulls at some point. I am glad I got one.

the base is metal and the skulls are plastic. It works on 3 (i think) AA batteries and gives off a pretty good glow.

Thank you for the info wicked.

Here's my video on the new CB stuff! https://youtu.be/D--EVTvK5og

Definitely wish their was more new. I'm hoping that next year sees a lot of freshness.

For those of you getting the skull lamp, you might want to check yours closely. Mine has a deformed eye socket on one skull. Of course it’s the prominent skull up front. Its not really worth my time taking it back. There’s not much packing in the box, so you might want to check before you leave the store. The only exposed metal is where the skulls hang from. Everything else is plastic. From a foot or two away, the lamp has a nice overall appearance.

My little one took the lead on the sale. She chose the Ghost Candle, Lighted Skeleton Moon and LED Light Up Black Cat On Skull. I guess to a 6yo those were her favs

I got the Hovering Ghost today, looked cool for right outside the front door. I haven't tried it yet, will post a review when I do. They also had an updated edition of Where Are They Buried. I got one a few years ago and found it interesting.

 

[wickedwillingwench]

i like the hovering ghost, too...i might snag it after all.

Can you heat up the socket a lil with a blowdryer and carefully push it into the skull to form a socket?

My first Halloween purchase this year was the salt and pepper shaker and 2 sets of the skeleton pot holder and kitchen towel.

Sorry, I missed this. I called my local restaurant and they had one in a box as of last weekend. I asked them to hold it for me and ran up to trade it. I’m good now!

 

[panampia]

try warming the affected plastic gently with a hairdryer on low, see if it gets pliable to the point you can push the offending bulge back in...IF you are not returning it, that is.

Cracker Barrel had much more interesting stuff last year.
kinda depressed with this years selection.
