And then there are the body parts...

...which as I say every year, they don't seem
to put much effort into...



...but as I also say every year, in low light they
probably look pretty okay. I like the ring on the
finger in the first picture. Nice touch.

And then there is THIS guy...

...who you cannot seem to get away from. How in the
heck did he get to be so, so... popu.... never mind.

P.S. You too can be the

owner of a lonely heart.

Much better than a

owner of a broken heart.*

The "Why Oh Why Oh Why" clown is

back at Walmart again this year.



As is the "Don't Shoot, Copper!"
werewolf right next to him.



And Herald the Cat is wearing the same
costume he wears every Halloween.

!!! FRIDAY SPOOKTOBER BONUS !!!

This is my second and last SPOOKTOBER souvenir

for the year 2026. A Ghostface Graphic Knife from
the movie SCREAM of course. It looks great sitting
next to my SCREAM movie collection.
(Spirit Halloween)

Every year I look forward to the knives and swords
at Halloween Express. And look! There is a disembodied

hand offering me a pitchfork to poke my son with!
How fun! But this is not my first Halloween Express
rodeo and I know what is coming...

...Every dang year. Say good-bye to the pitchfork, Tex.
See ya Mr. Pitchfork. *sigh*



That was no fun. But THIS is! Look what I found
at Walmart! Tons o' popcorn! UTZ'S Popcorn.
One Pound twelve ounces of popcorn! They NEVER
have this stuff. I'm getting some. Spooktober Movie
Nights at Borden Cinema just became even better.



Thank you Bill and Salie Utz!

Pumpkin Punisher

at

Spirit Halloween.

It is once again
Spooktober Witch Day!

Doesn't she look just oh so sweet?
She's not!
She is conniving and evil.

Just remember that.

Wow. I know I say it every year, but

Witch Day goes by too dang fast!

I can't wait 'til next year.

Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees (my all-time favorite) was

once again terribly underrepresented at Spirit this year. They

did have this new wall decor, which unfortunately was just like

last year's Ghostface wall decor, much too easily damaged.
Pass.



But for the last few years they have had this excellent Camp

Crystal Lake sign. I am surprised that they are still offering

this and one day when it is no longer available I will kick myself

for not buying it. But I just have zero room for it. Ack.

Here is one of my two Annual Halloween Crawl Souvenirs

for 2026. I have passed up buying this Camp Crystal Lake

mug quite a few times. But this year, I finally bought it, and

I actually really enjoy seeing it sitting on my dresser every day!

I did have something else Jason related in mind  that I wanted,
 but they didn’t have it at either of the two stores we
visited (as usual). More on that to come.

A cool photo op at Spirit Halloween. Secure your

spot on the rec room wall as Camper of the Week

before you disappear... forever.



She was never convicted.

This Halloween Express clown...

...genuinely creeps me out.
