welcome fellow travelers the kids are back in school it's September the leaves are changing
colors and that can mean only one thing it's time for Halloween today on exit through the gift shop
we're going to do our Halloween preview so we have an exciting Halloween season coming
up we're actually going to be heading down to the oogie boogie bash in Disney's California in a few
weeks and check out all the festivities there but first it's time to get in the spirit by checking
and consumer-grade decorations this year we have Reapers Wharf
live bait fishing charters saltwater in and manned by the Reaper himself right there
here's Sam he looks happy enough
and spirit has a promotion going on right now free hugs with every purchase
and I like how they're branching out from the traditional skeletons they've got all
sizes of regular skeletons but now you can get alien skeletons you can get turtle skeletons
bird skeletons even shark skeleton look at this I didn't even know that octopus
has had octopi had skeleton this guy here's lost his head
this is another creepy clown this is Crouchy
look at those claws on that clown the spirit has a
wide selection of creepy masks they even have one of my spirit animal
the spirit Halloween stores are so much fun because they have a whole
bunch of different theming and all the animatronics are set up this year they
even have a small walkthrough display spirit aquarium swim with the fishes
let's take a look danger for your own safety do not tap the glass
another octopus
this is the piranha tank Oh feeding time and right down here we have a great white shark
look out!
there's even a smoke effect look at that the walls are smoking he's damaged he's damaged the cage
and here's Bubba its man's possessed friend
nice little jump-scare for the kids
up we're gonna check out the Halloween City seasonal store in our local mall
looks like they're still setting up the boneyard but there are a number of creepy
decorations already out for display some clown pumpkins let's try this gargoyle
or I like these possessed pumpkins
some good spring action on those
and down here some mini crow stalker decorations
I'll select it nice broad it's skulls this looks like a craft that you can actually make it home
with a regular plastic skull and some paper mache and paint might be a fun project for
the kids take one of these regular skulls look at the dollar store gets and rating their skulls and
turn it into something a little more grotesque there's a whole section of evil dolls and clowns
there's some two-headed Eagle dolls and this one looks a
little bit they like a maniacal pee-wee Herman
they have rows and rows of these creepy full-size hanging decorations
we got to try the demo on the mix and mash blender
skeletons werewolves and it looks like these guys have been up to no good
oh this is cool they have a box of Halloween and horror themed Funko pops and gremlins
deme Gorgon from stranger things
Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street we were just down in Everett checking out the Funko
pop headquarters I'll put a link below if you want to check out that video deal while I'm here I'm
gonna pop my head into Michael's sometimes they have interesting Halloween decorations and decor
so Michaels is all about the health we need a car what I like about them is they get their
supply up early they actually had theirs out in August and if you want to find some good stuff to
decorate the house the yard the other nice thing is that they have fairly good sales right at the
beginning of the season so if you're looking to pick anything up right now it's on buy one get
one free and usually those continue right through so you don't need to wait until later on to get
all your Halloween goods the other thing about Michaels is the decorations are typically higher
quality than what you'll find at a dollar store they have a lot of these ceramic figurines and
really cool if you want to decorate inside your house I like some of the rubber decorations that
they have here some toads more toads cats zombie squirrels I like these boxes of creepy eyeballs
being watched
lots of skulls everywhere some magic cauldrons spell books and of course evil back tonight
HomeSense is another place that i like to check out for Halloween
decor sometimes you can find unusual or one-of-a-kind items in here a couple of
years back I was able to find a full life-size standing rubber skeleton
that was extremely detailed haven't seen anything like it anywhere else
lots of Halloween décor
I like these gravestones here till death do us part these are actually
full cement gravestones they're not the Styrofoam like you would get at
other places so they should be very durable greet your visitors with a Halloween wreath
I also like this pile of skulls with a raven on it also made out of sturdy and materials a
little bit more expensive but sure to last a long time there's something I find cool about
these angular pumpkin decorations I can imagine these lit up by black light in a dark and spooky
room another place I like to check is the Home Depot they've upped their Halloween game over the
past few years and now stock a number of larger items this is a seven-foot animated winter dragon
or you can set up Pirates of the Caribbean right in your own front yard
or reenact The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with your own eight-foot-tall Headless Horseman
all right that's it for today stay tuned throughout october as we check out the
other local Halloween haunts until next time hits time to exit thru the Gift Shop
