Yuck, I was in Stop & Shop but I'm sure most grocery stores will start putting it out soon if it's not out already. They also had the candy corn pumpkin things too.

You're not from 'round here, are you stranger?
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 believe we went over this last season but anyway for newcomers. I love Halloween but hate candy corn. Somehow I usually end up trying it every year and always find it disgusting. If you enjoy it please go ahead I'll stick to other treats that don't taste waxy.

Long live candy corn! Stuff is ridiculously good. Only surpassed by those amazing mallow pumpkins you referenced, D. Duck!

We will always play tug of war over this issue, my friend.

This isn't really a Halloween sighting but an autumnal one. There is a tree at my mom's that does not get much sunlight and the leaves have already started changing colors and falling off the tree. It definitely made me take a second look.

Andy, I love crows & ravens also. I have two wall hanging ravens. They're flat on the back but dimensional in front. One is perching wings closed on a branch. The other is flying with wings spread and legs out as if it's coming in for a landing.

dd, I know what you mean. I love Dept 56 but they are pretty pricy. Mostly I just grab the accent pieces, though my in-laws will sometimes get me the houses for Christmas. Always with the disclaimer they feel weird giving me Halloween stuff at Christmas, but I keep telling them I don't mind!

Witchy, thanx. I hope to find much more! :)

You and me both, Big_Guh. I like putting out a candy mix of Indian corn, Mallow pumpkins and Halloween M&Ms. Of course, now M&Ms has replaced the Halloween colors with more generic Autumn colors, which I think is bogus. Still use them, though.

That we will big guh but that's ok.

Scarecrow we try to buy one big piece every year and a small piece or two. The best was when a place nearby me decided they were going to stop carrying it because not enough people bought it anymore(for shame). They marked their whole inventory 50% off. We were able to double our normal purchase. We even went back a few months later and got a few more accent pieces.

I am also excited for the Grim Reaper exchange it was a lot of fun last year. Hopefully we get more victims this year!
