I'd pay good money for one of those gigantic Frankenstein masks.

I was looking to buy some stuff for my dorm, but the thing with Pier 1 is, it's mainly door decorations and stuff you hang. They had these cool spiders, but that would take a hell of a long time for me to clean up. I too browsed the Pier 1 Imports Halloween stuff (last week). I bought an apple orchard candle for the apartment. Smells like the season! Links To All The Classic Monster Stills I've Posted: http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/30758

They usually have these value packs of two large jar candles and three small candles for $10. They have a pumpkin spice one and an apple cider one that are every bit as nice as the $25 Yankee candle versions.

I wonder if you'd spoken with the store manager if he/she would have let you have them after the season was over?! I bet otherwise they just throw them out.

I read somewhere that Target doesn't sell their display stuff and that some of those masks were donated to schools (which is sad if some of those schools just tossed the stuff into the trash after a year like many schools are prone to do). Either way,i am sure those suckers are scarcer than hen's teeth in the marketplace. The Frankenstein is my favorite,as i have the actual original mask and the color scheme and art style scream "1970's Halloween" than just about anything ever made.

Sep 13 11 10:15 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	And I flipped through all of the cutouts and window clings to find the most Universal-like ones. All other ones were either generic monsters(skeletons, ghosts) or barely recognizable vampires/witches/werewolves/Franks..

Sep 13 11 10:21 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	It appears that Target is following the same Jack'O Lantern motif as last year. I have plates from them from last year that are the exact same print as the pumpkin on the left...

Sep 13 11 10:26 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	These also from Target this year...This was the full stock that I saw(of Monsters). From left to right, there's a skeleton, Frankenstein Monster, Bride of Dracula, Dracula(or maybe just 'Vampire'), Bride of Frank, The Devil, and the Grim Reaper. I didn't see a Werewolf like they had last year, but this definitely was every one that they had available, according to the stickers on the shelf.

Sep 14 11 1:22 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Here's last years video from my front yard. A lot of work and I was going to pass this year until a couple weeks ago a couple 12 year old's were walking by and I overheard one say to the other how they couldn't wait to come to my house again. It got me in the spirit and now I'm trying to think of new additions. I do a video every year and will post 2011's in about 3 weeks. Arrgg! 3 weeks? Last Edited By: soundstage28 Sep 14 11 1:27 AM.

Sep 15 11 1:52 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	That's some great stuff Victor! Especially the nutcrackers and the butcher knifes! Definitely gonna have to check those out and make some cupcakes! Planning on doing some shopping this weekend, so I'll take pics of any neat-0 stuff I happen upon. Anyone dressing up this year? And if so, what are you going to be?? I'm taking my inspiration this year from those old 20's 30's vintage Halloween postcards.

About five years or so ago, I remember being on a board(could have been this one, or another...) where someone kept posting pics of cool items they found for Halloween and where they found them, and I felt it was really helpful. I'm trying to pay that forward. -I would LOVE to dress up. I haven't gotten REALLY dressed up since high school(mid '90s). Everyone I know actually counts on me being 'that guy' this time of year, so I should come up with something. Your costume sounds fun! Obviously, you'll have to post pics...

Sep 15 11 2:27 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	<< Anyone dressing up this year? And if so, what are you going to be?? << Yeah, I dress up every Halloween, for a great party at our pediatrician/friend's house -- she's been doing it since before medical school, even. Last year I was Tony Stark, with arc-light glowing thru my shirt and repulsor blast glove. This year, I'm thinking Frankenstein. In a pinch, I might dig out the gorilla suit (if I could scrounge up a diving/space type helmet, that is ).

Sep 15 11 2:29 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Also, for anyone who enjoys Halloween crap like I've been posting on here, Matt, over at http://www.x-entertainment.com/ (NOT a porn site! Seriously!) does a really fun Halloween countdown where each day until Halloween he posts some Halloween item(which could be nostalgic or new) and discusses it with great sentiment and comedy. He is in his 30s, so his posts are heavy on the 80s/90s items, but he can be all over the place. I HIGHLY recommend it. He also has a really fun 'Halloween Jukebox' that has over 100 Halloween related songs on it that you can listen to for free and commercial free at: http://www.x-entertainmen...009halloweenjukebox.html (some of the stuff available: Alice Cooper, Misfits, Freddy Krueger's Greates Hits, Monster Mash, Elvira, Theme songs to Hellraiser/Halloween/Suspiria) Last Edited By: Victor Frankenstein Sep 15 11 2:31 PM.
