An Unorthodox Halloween – Page 52

Halloween invasion.

Ah, the first hint of spring on the wind.

Must mean it’s time for Halloween shopping, yes?

First and foremost, my shirt arrived.

Let the strange looks commence, as we hit the town and let the people do double takes. Yes, that really is a Halloween shirt in February… A couple of children found it cool enough to comment.

And, while my wife was looking for girly frill fabric for something for my daughter, I set about the store in search of Halloween. I was surprised to see that Halloween has invaded easter, with EASTER SCARECROWS…

I mean, they’re not my style, but THAT’S a scarecrow. For Easter.

The garden statuary was already on sale. Or, should I say, tombstones waiting to be made.

This next photo confused my wife. Why do I care that some fake plants are on sale? Because they scream “Throne room”, of course.

Finally, I found these luminaries. Perfect for a witch or Gypsy area.

Deutsch Spaß

Just a little bit of fun from our German friends.

I don’t know what the heck this is:

This forklift safety video has been around for ages, but is still funny:

A unique take on Mr Sandman:

Commercial for something or other.

And I thought we took Halloween serious…

My new toy…

When planning a haunt around a character known as Spider Woman, it is clear one thing is going to be important…WEBS.

And, last year, we made myself a web shooter.

And, I found a BIGGER one in an after-Halloween sale for dirt cheap THIS year.

However, I was not finished. No, I sought out a web SPINNER. Fortunately, Scott had one he was getting rid of, and included some wonderful instructions on how to make my own web fluid to save even more money.

The weather finally cleared enough for me to go play with it.

Now, later on in the year, I’ll do a full up side by side review of a web shooter vs web spinner. There’s a major project I’ll be starting that will make use of them both in tandem…
