Halloween Decorations

Fall has officially started, and the Halloween season is upon us. I think it is absolutely horrible that the stores are putting out their Christmas decorations before Halloween. One holiday at a time people!

It appears that many stores have cut back on their Halloween selection this year. I like to buy a couple new things each year to add to my collection of ghastly, goulish decorations. We actually live in a pretty fun neighborhood, and many of the homes do some extensive Halloween decorating. I added a new tombstone, some spooky caution tape, and some more light up eyes to stick in the windows. I also found a pretty neat site on-line for homemade decorations. Spooky Blue is an awesome sight for the do-it-yourselfers. I really liked several of their ideas, and chose to make a 6' Toe Pincher Coffin, and I also am making a corpse that appears to be crawling out of the ground. The coffin was pretty simple, and you can get all the supplies for about $25. The corpse is a lot messier, and is a good way to get rid of any extra newspapers you may have laying around. I have the coffin finished, and I will update later with some pix of the decorated yard. If the reaction of a couple neighbor girls is any indication, I may not have any trick or treaters this year. They will all be to scared to come up to the house.
