Those are fabulous! Are they LPs or 45s?

I have one Halloween CD by Mannheim Steamroller. We love it.

The records are LPs, I also have Halloween CDs but they are packed away as well because the music we listen to now is digital, so we just put on a Halloween playlist or there are websites that stream Halloween music and sound effects 24/7 for free. I do miss playing old records, but as I told Mike, I don't have a turntable that works right now.

On Sun. we stopped at a yard sale and I found a vampire lamp for only $10, it's in good shape but it needs to be cleaned. Then at McDonald's we found out that they brought the Boo Buckets back. The Boo Buckets were very popular when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, the new buckets are smaller than the originals, but that's fine because we aren't going to use them for trick-or-treating and just have them as collectibles. They also come with stickers now, but we didn't get any stickers when I was a kid. The pictures below show both items, and yes, my basement is cluttered, but if you look closely you will notice a little Snoopy with pumpkin in the top corner.

Here is a ad for the original Boo Buckets from the 80s.

Oh, that vampire lamp is something! I live in a good area for yard sales and antiquing, but I never do either because I already have so much junk of my own. I remember the boo buckets from my kids' days and probably still have some somewhere.

I see Snoopy!

I'm usually too busy to go to yard sales, and if I do go to them, the ones in my area don't have anything good there. We were 2 hours away from home when one of the kids with us saw the sale and wanted to go, so I'm glad we stopped there.

Here is The Peanuts Book of Pumpkin Carols, this is from the late 60s and it's a greeting card with parodies of well known carols, it's funny and well written.

I had that but it was a small book, and not a greeting card.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and I saw this awesome cereal. I sent a picture to my friends right away, and I ended up getting 10 of them. By the way, it actually tastes good. :lol:

That's an odd choice for cereal.

I would have gone with shredded wheat for Wednesday.

I was recently digging through my old computer and came across a lot of pictures of my Halloween and horror related collectibles that I shot years ago before I packed them up to make sure that my young kids wouldn't be scared of them, or get their little hands on them and destroy them. :lol:

I've added more items since then, but still have them packed up, at least until the kids are older. The first pictures are of my vintage Aurora monster model kits, Mike and I had a conversation awhile ago about them, I wish that I had found the pictures earlier to show him while he was still here. Some of them can actually sell for over a grand in this condition.
