In the bigger stores like China mart the quality is geared towards 5 year olds... everything with smiling faces and crap. Really? Halloween is suppose t be scare not rainbows and cupcakes.... 90% of their stuff is junk.......
I can't believe I'm defending Walmart but here I go. They're going for a large generic market so they're not gonna sell Zombie Babies or Jumping Spiders, Freddy or Jason replicas. Just like Spirit isn't going to sell "rainbows & cupcakes."
Though I remember a time when Walmart had a TON of full sized props in store. Now all of that is online & they keep the generic Halloween stuff for their brick & mortar store because that's who is shopping there.
Plus there's plenty of places out there now that sell scary stuff but it won't be at Walmart's prices & if all else fails, you do like we do, you make your own.
FTR, I still haven't been into a Big Lots since I first posted about it earlier in this thread.

I'm still cheesed about the trees as early as they had them.
