Last year Target had a lot of Edgar and Ellen Halloween stuff.

I was just at Target yesterday, and while they still have some school stuff up, most of it is Halloween. They have the cutest table cloths and plates this year. I already bought some stuff, I couldn't help it!!!

Not including the stuff I bought earlier this week (or the $20 gift card I used last night)... I spent $97 last night! >_< (It's a good thing t'day is pay-day.) Bought my first fog machine (with chiller), a timer, and some fog juice. That was the majority of the bill-- about $60. The rest were little things-- kazoos, medals, shot glasses, etc. I took pics last night, but I didn't upload 'em. I'll have to re-take 'em. There is still more that I wanted too. *le sigh*

I also need to put my styrofoam tombstones back above my kitchen cabinets too.... I took those down last weekend to paint with glowie paint because they weren't glowing enough under the 4' black-light I have up there... which is on a timer. ^_^

... and I have to finish getting my cadaver ready... so much to do, and time is running out!

I bought my fog machine, juice, and timer last year at Party City. It was a bit cheaper than Target. Tombstones on the cabinets sound neat! I would love to see pics!

I got them posted here:

Muahaha! Just finished painting 'em and setting them up tonight. Though, I'll have to add another blacklight. The other headstones don't glow brightly enough to photograph because theyr'e not near a blacklight.

And... some of my trophies from Target (these are just things I got at Target this year):
Image
Above: Supposed to be a "bleeding skull candle"... we're going to light it on Halloween, though it seems a shame to destroy such a marvelous piece of art. It has quite the Dia de los Muertos feel to it....

Image
Above: Things I plan on handing out.... I probably didn't need them, but I can't help myself sometimes. *sigh*

Image
Above: My first fogger... EVER *sniff, sniff*

Image
Above: Okay, so some of this isn't from Target... but still... what lovely Halloween things.

...and for nostalgia's sake, here's some of that Edgar and Ellen stuff from last year, though you can't clearly see the logo.

I thought the pic on the fog machine box looks familar! I forgot that one of the photography studios in my building did all the pics for Target Halloween earlier this year! I got to see all the items before they went on the shelves. Neat stuff.

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Target when it comes to Halloween. Perhaps I should go check them out.

Their decorations and candy selection are great, I never bothered with their costumes.

Whats that about?
Halloween wraps fear in innocence,
As though it were a slightly sour sweet.
Let terror, then, be turned into a treat...

Thank you! It was driving me crazy because I couldn't remember. :? They should have stuck with that theme again, or at least something similar.
