The Halloween collectibles thread

[MauEvig]

Wow, that's a rare find! I tried to look for it myself and couldn't find it.
But appreciate the scans in any case. My mom is a HUGE Peanuts fan and she loves Snoopy. So of course, I got her a Snoopy plush the first time we went to King's Dominion since they have a whole Peanut's theme there. They even have big "Great Pumpkin" statues here. I realize The Great Pumpkin never actually appears in the film, but I thought it was quite imaginative to include it. I hope we get to see The Great Pumpkin celebration next time we go. I think that'll be fun.

If you ever find yourself in the town of Santa Rosa, North of San Francisco, you should go to the Charles M. Schulz Museum.

It's a real museum with seminars, interactive exhibits, media presentations. There is even a kite-eating tree in the courtyard.

Those recipes look yummy.

Andy, that museum sounds like fun!

Well, those bastards at Disney did it again, they put up their new selection of Halloween themed items on disneystore.com, and I got a bunch of stuff for the kids, and for myself as well.

The girls also picked out some cute sweaters, they were only available in adult sizes so I just got them the smallest size they had, and hopefully they will grow into them. Sam picked a Mickey Jack-o'-Lantern sweater, and Phoebe got a poisoned apple sweater, I really like the design on it, as the slime reminds me of the Ghostbusters marketing back in the day.

The prices are ridiculously high on their website, so you don't have to get anything from them, but if you want to check out some of the awesome items they have available then click the link below.

Those are adorable. And of course Disney licensed products are sky-high.

I skimmed through the home decor. I saw a lot of Haunted Mansion and some NBC, but no Hocus Pocus.

The last few years, Spirit has offered a great assortment of high quality, Hocus Pocus merchandise.

[TheHeadlessHorseman]

He's right, Spirit always has a good selection of Hocus Pocus items. Last year Disney had a good variety of Hocus Pocus available, I can only guess that it didn't sell well, or they are holding back until they release the next movie to oversaturate the market.

I've definitely seen Hocus Pocus at Spirit. Of course, Spirit is a little rich for my blood, too, but I love browsing there.

I was at the thrift store and I came across these awesome Scooby Playmobil playsets, they came out a few years ago but I didn't even know that they made them until now. There's a haunted house and a cemetery with a mausoleum and grave, the top of the grave is removable and it comes with a skeleton and coffin you can put in it. Where the Hell was this when I was young? I would have loved to play with this and my G.I. Joes, just think of the hours of fun I could have had burying them again and again.

I think that I might repaint them to make them look more realistic, the house would look better with darker colors, and I know that I can get some stone textured paint and the fake grass they use for crafts at Michael's to make the cemetery look creepier. It looks like I found a new project to do during those sleepless nights.

Oh my gosh, my daughter is 28 and would buy those in a heartbeat, I think. She is the world's #1 Scooby-Doo fan, has every single episode and movie on dvd, and pulls them out, too. She's been fashioning a Daphne costume for Halloween most of this year. She would LOVE those sets.

[TheHeadlessHorseman]

That's the great thing about Scooby, kids of every age can enjoy him! Believe me, I've already spent more time playing around with these sets than my kids have.

Regarding your daughter's costume, will she be flying solo, or going with a group of friends dressed as the whole Scooby gang?

My wife and I have dressed as Fred and Daphne, as well as Shaggy and Velma on different years for our couples costumes, and we have gone to conventions as the whole gang with the kids. Once we were at a show and I was Shaggy and my wife and both girls went dressed as Daphne, the people there got a real kick out of it. We have even gone out as the Scooby team dressed as the Ghostbusters.

The girls always wait until the last minute to choose their costumes every year, and sometimes they wear one costume to school in the day, and a different costume to go trick-or-treating. By now my wife and I usually have our costumes picked out already but we have been so busy lately that we didn't do it yet, the same thing happened last year and we had to rush to find good costumes.
