Jack-o-Lanterns are so traditional…never really changing, even though you can carve different faces and scenes on them. There’s something…nostalgic … about them. Universal.
And you get to make pies out of the innards!
Gotta go with Jack-o-Lanterns!
@Kyeh@summerVibes yes many years ago and I loved it. And at one point the daughter of one of the people I work with broke the head off. I cried it’s probably the craziest stupidest Halloween decoration I ever had and it was buttery grocery store. But mine sounded better I hope that was just a crappy recording or whether I just had one of the good ones
@gr8agape Deals from prior days often remain available for a week or more if they don’t sell out. You can get to them several ways, but I like to click on the spots on the un-numbered calendar below the “Who’s buying this crap?” map and the “How many are they buying?” pie chart. That takes you straight to the corresponding prior day’s page. Of course, for the first week of the month, it won’t go back very far…
@Kyeh
There’s a haunted house/town I wanted years ago but it was crazy expensive. I can’t remember which one it was. I thought the Simpson’s ones were really cool bc I used to watch the show reiloiugusly.
@Kyeh@Star2236 I’m most excited to see the specifics and details of the light-up Halloween countdown calendar in person, considering my collection of miniature houses and buildings.
My dad’s favorite holiday was Halloween (mine has always been too). He would go crazy with decoration, even though we lived on a street that didn’t get many trick or treaters. He just loved putting them up and that it made us happy too. He decorated for all holidays but Halloween and Xmas were the ones he really went all out for. He had this witch (my brother has it now) that is on fishing line and you turn it on and push it around in a circle and it continues to fly bc the broom has a propeller on it. I always loved playing with it as a kid. I also like the old ceramic hand painted ghost and pumpkins that light up that people used to make a lot in the 80’s. I actually like more of the nostalgic old school decorations as opposed to the new animatronic ones of today.
Trunk full of dead hookers.
@yakkoTDI gotta put that together closer to Halloween or else it starts to stink up the vehicle.
@reedmo The humidity here in Florida helps enhance the smell.
@kjady I love it!!!
@kjady @mycya4me Me too!
My creepy doll heads that cool Joe made
The inflatables, obviously! Bonus points for ACTUAL inflatables that don’t require fans to stay up.
@PooltoyWolf yep that is a god idea.
Toilet paper and candy wrappers
Oh wait, you meant for my house?
@2many2no yep your place, plus that would be a Pain in the Rump to clean up.
Animated color changing LEDs (WLED is my go to), same as for most other celebrations.
I’ve seen a very dead Home Depot but I’ve never seen the skeleton of one.
Lots of smashed pumpkins…
I’m not sure what Halloween’s equivalent of Christmas’ “bah humbug” is but that’s usually how I feel.

Battery operated, shaggy werewolf face that sings, “I’m Your Boogie Man” by KC and the Sunshine Band hanging on my front door.
@summerVibes
mine was a bit different in sound and appearance but i miss it
@Cerridwyn @summerVibes
You had that?!

@Cerridwyn @summerVibes
I suppose it was a pretty fragile item so not likely to show up at a thrift store. But I can see why you loved it!
@Cerridwyn @Kyeh @summerVibes It can be had.

@Cerridwyn @summerVibes @werehatrack Yikes, $65! Good find though.
@Cerridwyn @Kyeh @summerVibes @werehatrack That cat seems to Rock Well.
@Cerridwyn @Kyeh @summerVibes There were some for a bit less as well.
All lights out and nobody’s home.
@hchavers Yes. And it is a decoration that can be left up all year, so lots less work.
@hchavers @rockblossom That is the Lazy way,
@mycya4me Yes, it is! What’s your point?
@rockblossom That some Are way to Lazy! That is the Point!
@mycya4me @rockblossom I resemble that remark
Are there more deals here on meh.com or just the daily deal?
@gr8agape just the daily. go to sidedeal.com for more
the daily one is a pinch less expensive most of the time

I just ordered this from Target - splurgy, but I collect miniature houses and buildings so it was too cool to resist. I hope it’s as good in person.
It’s a light-up Halloween countdown calendar; you press a button everyday for a week to light up one room at a time.
@Kyeh
That’s so cool. How much was it.
