Was in Duane read the other day, and saw they're starting to carry Halloween junk, Picked up a plastic screaming skull for two bucks, pretty cool and decent quality for two dollars. Looking forward to some more good finds in the season. Anyone else spot anything cool yet? |

last year I found a bag of paper cut-outs, they were smaller versions of the ones I loved as a kid, the classics. Flaming skull, jointed black cat, glow highlight skeleton...it ruled. My daughter bought a bag of skulls,skeletons and bugs from Target last year, she plays with them all the time! |

Greasebat, were they the Biestle ones? I found some too, and was so excited! I am so disappointed with most new halloween stuff, all the crepiness is gone, and everything is too "cute" the "scary" stuff is corny. I guess like most things I'm relegated to turn to the past for things.  I'll be hitting up some thrift stores at this time of year for the annual "we cleaned out the attic & found granma's ugly old decorations"

oh and let the record state that I LOVE halloween, and take it very seriously.  My kitchen table last year.  and the house:    Giant Bat & green lights as you enter the house! Skylar tried to rig him up darkride style so he would fly at you when you opened the door, but we couldn't figure it out. ha |

Not cheap-os at all, but the local AC Moore just put out all the Halloween funky diorama things. They are motorized installations, there is a mummy one, and an old west one, Transylvania etc... Those things are pretty cool, but they are pretty expensive and I am actually uncertain as to what you do with them since they are so small. Maybe create a spooky table setting or something?

I try to be a cheap-o and make my costume every year with used junk. I think I've posted these before. Lob-Sto-Kill (I think this was maybe 5 years back?)   And Cyborg Lion (2 years back I think)  Cheap Halloweens are the BEST Halloweens. |

Actually those were the bought part, I saw them for $8 bucks at a costume shop and it sparked my thoughts for the rest of the costume. The head piece on the Lobster is actually recycled from a Teletubbies costume I used once. I re-use all my little bits. Vombie wrote: cyborg lion gets the "WTF?" award! that's an awesome costume! I won $150 for it at a costume contest, beat a "sexy vampire" I felt like the human race was finally making progress that night. |

The last tattoo I got was a cartoon Frankenstein from a 2 dollar set of bootleg colorforms. I still have the set somewhere. I'll post a pic of the tat later when I get some decent light. |
