New This Halloween

Short for time today, so I am just going to showcase

a few new Halloween items we have here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First up are all five Monster Cereals in the retro boxes from Target.

Count Chocula is already gone!

Also shown here are Pumpkin Pop Tarts!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We picked this up at Cracker Barrel.

Very quirky, we loved it.

The base says "Heads Up!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Got this at Michael's.

Always wanted a Halloween Countdown,

since we love them at Christmastime.

Don't worry, more than 13 days to go,

I just snagged this pic from the website.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is my new favorite!

Animated Sam from Trick 'r Treat! 

He plays music and moves around,

pretty quickly, too!

So very awesome!

Big thank you to my wife for getting him!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We also finally have a Halloween tree,

but it has been difficult to photograph tonight.

Will post a pic in the future if I can get a decent one.

What about you?

Have anything new you love this Halloween?

The Monsterlist of Halloween Projects is the most complete collection of links to pages with do-it-yourself projects on them that I know of. These are not your little kids Halloween crafts, every scary devious seriously spooky prop and project designed for truly scaring people is listed here. Most importantly, the list is checked periodically for accuracy.

About.com has sections on all subjects, and Mark H. Harris is in charge of the Horror & Suspense site, always great.
