AUG 31st: I received these conveniently yesterday from a couple of trades I made in a horror facebook trading group, just in time for the season!

SEPTEMBER 1st: I picked this up today at the grocery story I worked at to begin the season with a bang! Click here (https://soundcloud.com/devin-connors-1/sets/pumpkin-talker) to hear the horror of "Pumpkin Talker!".

I look forward to seeing your purchases in the future as well.

No picture yet, but STARBURST CANDY CORN! CANDY CORN THAT TASTE LIKE STARBURST! They are yummy!

Pier 1 has some cool Halloween stuff out. About half of it is WAY TOO MUCH glittery crap.

But they also had a black Halloween tree with ornaments. I had to pick up this little Dracula.

I have one like that as well, his legs are nails

I've picked up a few things so far this season.

Death's Doughnut Break

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/DeathsDoughnut_zpsec8050fe.jpg

Found this at Michael's. Just Death having a little doughnut break. And drinking blood.

Pumpkinhead Screamer

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/Pumpkinhead_zps9b8324cd.jpg

He's just one of those generic "screamer" toys, but I thought he looked amazing.
Kind of a cross between a Jack-O-Lantern and a scarecrow.

Halloween Lava Lamp

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/HalloweenLava_zpsf55c54d6.jpg

I finally found a Halloween Lava Lamp! I thought this combination was a sure thing, but I've never seen one until this year.

Ghoul-Aid Jammers

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/Ghoul-aid_zps8f3402ff.jpg

Yes! I found it! I've been looking everywhere for the past month for this stuff. :halloween

2013 Jones Halloween Soda

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/JonesSoda_zpsc8963ff0.jpg

Jones Soda is back for 2013 with some new Halloween cans! I haven't seen anything from Jones in a couple of years now, so this is an awesome surprise.
And for some reason I love that the blood orange vampire can is purple.

Halloween Potion Bottles

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/Potion2_zpsec3b529b.jpg

Found some new potion bottles that are much more transparent than I've been able to find in the past. They light up great with a black light.

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/Potion3_zps6810a4d8.jpg

Black Cat Juice is actually my favorite of the bunch. Though it's hard to tell in the photos, it's an awesome soft glow. Looks like a ghost in a jar.

I'm not going to tell Jason that you can't get drunk off straight tonic water. You tell him.

Holy crap! That lava lamp is a thing of beauty! Where'd you find that?

I saw that same screamer at Michaels too, but had to pass on it since I have a lot of those lil' things as it is haha. Definitely a cool looking one though. Death eating a donut, however... I wish I saw that one! So random. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

I found all four Jones Soda cans already and yeah, I'm glad they're back. Still wish they'd do the new Halloween bottles like they'd do sometimes in addition to the cans (the black licorice soda was still some of the best soda of theirs I've ever had). Haven't found the Ghoul-Aid Jammers yet, but I'll be keeping my eyes out for 'em. I still have my vintage Ghoul-Aid packets from ages ago, along with the newer ones from recent years. I never get tired of looking at him all dressed up for Halloween :halloween

Batteries Plus. In retrospect, it should of been the first place I looked for a Halloween Lava Lamp. :halloween2

[ChrisGlass]

I really love that lava lamp... oh man. I am getting that. I have to.

I'm looking for halloween nail decals. Not the stupid press-on nails or the stickers that cover the whole nail, but the little stickers you put on and paint clear polish over. Ideally, I'd like spiders, but I'm open. The ones on ebay are usually homemade and super shitty quality. If anyone comes across any, could you let me know what store? Thanks.

Candy Corn Super Blow Pop
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/CandyCornBlowPop_zps939573ed.jpg

It's strange but this does indeed taste exactly like candy corn! And being that it's "super" and about three times the size of a normal blow pop, I have no idea if it's the normal gum in the middle.

Warheads Sour Chewy Cubes
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/WarheadsSourChews_zps31a6cfde.jpg
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/WarheadsSourChews2_zpsc94f61bf.jpg

These are square shaped sour gum drops in three "limited edition" Halloween flavors ("Scary Black Cherry", "Goblin Green Apple" and "Ogre Orange"). They're all pretty good although rather mild on the sour scale. The black cherry flavor is my favorite of the bunch.

Haunted House Silhouette
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/HauntedHouseSilhouette_zpse0545b89.jpg

The Dollar store is killing it this year with awesome stuff. Like this Haunted House which looks great whether it's backlit or casting a shadow on the wall.

Monster 500
http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/Monster500_zpsba4aaabc.jpg

This year Toys "R" Us has a great new line of monster toy cars called "Monster 500". A few are even put out in larger versions.

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/Monster5002_zps58045ec2.jpg

This is one of the cars that got a larger version "Zoom Zombie". It lights up and the zombie screams when you press the skeleton hand on the back of the hearse.

http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/dextire/Halloween%202013/Monster5003_zps9fae3b7f.jpg

Here's a few of the smaller ones, all complete with terribly cheesy names. We've got "Captain Heinous (from Uranus)", "Werewolf Blitzer", "Dr. Jerkyl and Mr. Ride" and "Drac Attack". :halloween2

Unfortunately I have to work on Halloween this year. Finally got some candy corn oreos though and this nifty cardboard sign was found in the dollar aisle.

[Kitsa]

This guy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/PUMPKINTEETH)has an etsy shop. I bought 3 sets of different sizes/shapes of pumpkin teeth for $14 shipped, and he threw in some extras.

I am loving pumpkin teeth.

[dextire]

That's an awesome sign, Ducttapefury. I'd love to see a zombie chase someone on a tractor. :halloween2

Kitsa: I love those teeth! They look so good.

[Mockery]

Nice Halloween hauls!

Dextire - I looked in a variety of stores, but never saw those Candy Corn Blow Pops. Hopefully they'll make 'em again for 2014 so I can give 'em a proper review.

[replicant]

Sadly, I didn't have enough money to invest in Halloween stuff this year. I tapped out out spending money on crazy awesome concerts. One in particular was Alice Cooper in concert! I guess in a roundabout way the pictures were my haul. :)

That's a pretty good haul. :halloween2
