Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

The CVS down the road had a shelf cleared off this morning and I thought they were going to put up Xmas stuff already.

I asked about it and the morning manager said it was for more Halloween stuff!

The pumpkin in my picture, I got all festive feeling. So a month early, I carved the guy up. Now I got a lit jack o lantern, Halloween music playing, it's night and a there's thunder storm outside. Welcome October!

I'm thinking about it. If I do I'm going to include some real cattle skulls that are laying around the property.

When we lived in VA, I used to take my first son TOTing on this street near our house where everyone vied with everyone else for decor. Well, there was this one guy who would drape himself in a dark robe or blanket, make himself look like a hunchback, and he would wear a cattle skull over his face! It looked like a real one. So creepy. He would hand out the candy looking like that.

What part of town/city in VA?

Yea, it's memories like that that made me addicted to Halloween.

I took another trip to Walmart. I bought everything shown here. I decided to make one homemade gravestone this year, and as you can see I already tested out the paint on the foam to make sure it wouldn't destroy it. It's good to go!

I got this in the mail yesterday, I ordered 2 so I'm still waiting on #2 to arrive, it's an exclusive mail away collector edition Boba Fett in prototype armor 3 3/4" figure

Both are from Amazon. I keep stabbing myself with this trick knife. I also have fake gravestones and an Ed Gein movie coming in soon.

You should try stabbing yourself. It's fun!

I just ordered this, luv it!!

You get any ideas from my collectibles board? Sooner or later I'm gonna start putting Department 56 stuff on there. There's a lot on eBay. Still trying to figure out how to organize eBay finds.

That's what my wish list is for. I prefer someone else buy that stuff for me. I'll see if that pans out.

I really want to try out those Japanese flying pumpkin lanterns but I'm afraid of burning down Sothern California. We've had problems in the past with that at Halloween time dontcha know.

It helps to be organized when all the boards are about one topic. I have another account under my real fake online identity.

Oh wow, I really love that flying lantern Nevermore. I think you would need someone to chase that thing down though
