I just get all warm and fuzzy inside when I see more Halloween items coming out.
I even bought myself some Halloween candy at Dollar General. Just couldn't resist! And for a dollar, it wasn't a bad buy.

Let me say first off that I am so happy to find a group of Halloween lovers such as myself. I can barely restrain myself from decorating. Does anyone already have this feeling? Just seeing a few Halloween and Fall items in the stores, fills me with the Halloween spirit. I absolutely love seeing the festive orange and black colors!

Just today I was at the Louis Joliet Mall. I stepped into "Yankee Candle" because they had Halloween and jack o'lantern candle holders and other items out for sale. I looked at a metal 'haunted house' that I am GOING to buy the next time I get a paycheck. I would have bought it today, but as I said on another forum, I was on my motorcycle and had no place to put it.

Too bad the store didn't have delivery.

Rite Aid had some Harvest stuff and 50% off along with some Halloween Candy and other things. Mostly just fall harvest decor though.
Tops didn't have any Halloween stuff for sale, but did have a candy display with a skull and a tomb stone!

I love seeing the first signs of Halloween pop-up in stores, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So, I figured we could all post here when we see any signs of Halloween.

So far, Michael's has some items out including their Spooky Town collection, signs and sparkly skulls. Bling seems to be in this year as Martha Stewart also has some sparkly items coming out this year.

Dollar Tree had a few items out including small crows, skeletons, skulls, black cats, etc.

Walgreens had a couple of fall looking items including wooden signs and pumpkin scented candles.

Horror Express is open anywhere in USA as well as here in Norfolk, Chesapeake and Virginia Beach in VA. I've not been there at Horror Express almost a year from now, but I WILL! :D

My local Walgreens has put out their Halloween candy on the shelves, and after everyone has gone back to school, they will remove their school supplies and replace them with the oh-so-wonderful Halloween decorations. :mrgreen:

I was at K-Mart the other night to buy a belt. I just happened to glance at the magazine rack as I was waiting at the check-out line and noticed a Halloween magazine. A woman picked it up and bought it.

Pumpkinman,

You saw Halloween magazine??? I wish that I would buy it, but do you know the name of the magazine? Well, I'm getting tired of reading Fangoria magazine since 20 years or so... :?

It wasn't actualy a "Halloween" magazine per se. I was one of these homemakers magazings (Good House Keeping I think but I couldn't swear to it) and the front cover was covered with jack o'lanterns, and Halloween cookies and the like, and the word "Halloween" on the front cover clearly visable.

I saw some Halloween candy at Kmart yesterday! I was so happy, as soon as the kids are back to school, I think that is when all the Halloween costumes and stuff will be coming out. I have also been scouting yard/garage sales for Halloween decor. A client of mine has some pumpkin spray at her home, it is called the Perfect Autumn Pumpkin by Bath and Body works, it smells awesome!

Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!
