Just sit yourself down by the door in an easy chair. That should do it.

Hep, I bought my grandson a little black cat candy dispenser at Target yesterday, that looks a little like you!  You press down on its back and it ahem.......dispenses colorful candy from its tail end into a little orange trick or treat "box". Of course, it's delightful to a 6 year old, and it meows loudly when it drops out the candy   :)

Was at Michaels the other day and found more of the Putty that I had previously found at Target.  The Putty at Michaels are all in coffins with a plasitc spider, the coffin is slightly larger than the ones at Target and they are a buck a piece.  Also Michaels as several different colors, I think they were; pink, orange, green, purple and blue!

Can't wait to see pics of your set up, Erin!

This weekend my Wife and I spent time Hallowe'en shopping. Michael's, pretty good on the Hallowe'en decor. Walmart, a total dud. Spirits, didn't have anything cool( except the animatronic: Fankenstein's Monster and Regan from the Exorcist. I hope more Hallowe'en costume stores open soon. :o

Found some surprisingly good stuff at 99 Cents Only and Dollar Tree--nice half-skeletons (small but not too small), tombstones, various ghouls and paper decorations.  I am taking some of the skeleton figures and adding wire articulation and ghoulish skin for that EXTRA creepy "yarrrrrgh!" look.  That and some lighting and sound effects will make an interesting show...
Beautiful moving, shifting colors!

We did the same thing this past weekend; Halloween City looked like it was all leftovers from last year...though I still want one of their massive cauldrons, it's hard to find a really nice cauldron anywhere and they have a super huge one!

Spirit Halloween had a lot of stuff I would love to have but the price is not right for my budget even with the 20% off coupon!

Target as usual had a few interesting items (including the return of real Creepy Cloth, the past few years everywhere has had more netting like material that I am not impressed with) but I usually hit them up after Halloween and grab whatever clearance item I can!

Walgreens, I can always find a few odds and ends at Walgreens!  'Nother one that is a Halloween clearance stop as well!

Wal-mart has yet to put out anything besides Halloween candy and fall/autumn decorations!?!?  WTF Wal-mart!  I usually buy a few things from them leading up to Halloween and then hit them up after Halloween.

I also have a $40 cash rebate at a place called Menards that usually has a few nice Halloween items but I won't get to go there until I visit the in-laws (probably this weekend).  I really, really want to get a 1000w fogger but as usual don't know if it'll happen this year but if they have them that $40 credit will come in handy....Muh ha hah!!

The Target i went into Saturday had the space set up, but wasn't stocked yet. I liked the in-store decorations this year--large, semi-spooky silhouettes.

I'm waiting patiently for my Chocula to show up!  If anyone sees any in the store, please post a detailed report  :)   I will drive to another state to get my first bowl of the precious! I love Count Chocula more than Thanksgiving turkey!

Here in Missouri I spotted; Count Chocula, Frankenberry and Boo Berry all hanging out at Shop N Save!!  Posted about it here http://www.universalmonsterarmy.com/forum/index.php?topic=11459.0  Target usually carries these but as of yet no such luck!

Thanks, ZH! We don't have that store, and I checked Target- but at least I know it's out there!  My sweet sweet Count and I will soon be reunited!
yes......I have problems  :)   The weird thing is, I NEVER crave anything except that cereal! There's something so satisfying about that first crisp chocolaty bowl on an Autumn day.
