MICHAELS
They have Lemax Spooky Town, Witch Bottles, Signs, cutsey stuff, harvest stuff.
DOLLAR TREE
The mini gargoyles and tombstones
The bigger foam tombstones
Assorted candy holders
Figurines
Snow Globes
Kid Costumes
Crows
Skulls
Candles
TARGET.COM
Just cool stuff to check out
TJ MAX
It's all cutsey stuff. Mainley harvest.
GARDEN RIDGE
They have most of everything else starting from hanging props like witchs and clowns to animatronic zombies and dogs to life size gemmy products such as The Headless Bride.
PARTY CITY/PARTY AMERICA
Costumes, Tombstones, Little stuff.
SPIRIT.COM
Lots of diffren't props. Kinda over priced but still exciting to look at.

They have a lot of the cutesy stuff. Wooden signs, all kinds of votive candle holders, coffee mugs and glass plates. All seem to be very good quality.
Garden Ridge
All the stuff you mentioned, plus their specialty is the outdoor decor obviously. I'd say they have at least 25 inflatables. Some HUGE. A really big selection of the signs on stakes that go in your yard. A lot of big wooden trick or treater signs and stringed lights.
Target
Think Wal-Mart's stuff but higher quality. Better costumes. All the basic decor you'd expect at pretty decent prices. Not on the shelves yet but a friend who works there said they're getting shipments in already.
Hobby Lobby
A lot like Michael's selections. A lot of do it yourself projects and arts & crafts/country styled decorations.

Re: 2008 Halloween Merchindse
Thank you! Great list.
I just got done "shopping" online at Oriental Trading Company. Believe it or not, they have some great stuff...even gory stuff if that's your bag. I bought $70 worth of decorations.
But once the Halloween stuff is up in the stores...I'm so there!

Oriental Trading is a really good company. You can shop on there website or order a catalog at www.orientaltrading.com. But now that I signed up to get catalogs from them they will not stop sending me E-mails.

Re: 2008 Halloween Merchindse
I have ordered from OT a few times and since they have more Halloween stuffs out there.
Coupons are easy to find, so make sure you look first. Free shipping and discounts are pretty much always out there.
Some stuff is overpriced. It's all Chinese imported junk. But, it's still fun place to shop.
I have had a couple of items arrive missing parts or just plain damaged. I called them, got a quick answer and they simply sent out replacements.

Sunday I hit the Card & Party Factory Warehouse. They had several things they were putting out half price. I got:
a holographic picture
a severed leg
a severed hand
a haunted house post light up sign originally priced $39.99 for $9.99
They did have alot of cool stuff. I usually get costumes from buycostumes.com. They have good prices.

Re: 2008 Halloween Merchindse
I was at Michaels today and bought a ton of Halloween crafts and decorations They were still setting up so ill probable go back next week and pick up some more. If anyones interested they had a Halloween yard countdown timer. It was super cute but I'm going for a darker feel for the yard this year.
Do you wanna know why i use a knife? Guns are too quick.

why so serious?
