I bet I'm the only person here who's never seen Hocus Pocus (1993)? I think I've mentioned I visit a message board of Halloween devotees. It's apparently an oft-watched Halloween night view for many of those folks. I hear it's a fun movie. Maybe I'll finally get around to it this October. Never seen it. I even own a copy, (it came in a two pack) and have still never seen it. Never had any desire to see it, and Deeky just justified that.

Or if I did, I can't seem to latch on to wherever I stored the memory...

That's a no here too. I considered watching it many years ago because I like Parker, but I didn't get around to it.

Well, I saw it and certainly didn't find it as awful as Deeky apparently did. Nothing to rave about, but an enjoyable time-waster, especially for a Halloween nut. I'm a sucker for eye-candy, and it had loads of that. All three of the witches were a scream. Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like the Doug Jones zombie was modeled after Barry Mahon's "The Dead One" (1961) which, if I'm right, was a nice touch on the director's part. I don't think it would be something I'd make a point of watching every October, but I suppose I can see why so many on the Halloween board do. A lot of the members there are women, so maybe it strikes a certain chord with them? I dunno.

I oughtn't have bought shit this accursed year, but ideas keep percolating. CVS has these neat potion bottles that light up and do this neat liquidy swirling effect. One green, one reddish. Had to have `em. They seem fairly well-made, too. Anyway, going to put them in the book box along with a bunch of other creepy-crawlies for a sort of street-side curio-cabinet Halloween night.

I feel bad for Home Depot, because they have a bunch of cool new stuff out this year, and it's going to be a disaster for retailers this Halloween thanks to covidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovidcovid

On the one hand I'm getting pretty geeked for Halloween, on the other it's killing me because I'm doing my damnedest to hold off on yard haunting until a week or so out. I'm excited to see so many homes doing up decorations already and so want to get going with mine! Fortunately, there's a lot of little prep stuff I can do for at least another week. Glue gun stuff, replacing batteries, threading lines and so on.

Had a blast finally getting around to some yard decorating over the past two days off. Hung one of my giant spiders between two hedges as you round the bend in the street. That got lots of responses from neighbors. Hung some cheap Party City bats from the trees along the front side of the house, along with creating a little vignette in the corner garden. Actually had neighbors coming over and talking with me while I was doing all this and no one was an ass-hat about any of it. Still have lots to set up, but I like how things are going thus far. Oh, and I found the hazmat costume I'll be wearing while handing out candy this year.

Went to the Halloween store to score some makeup supplies. God, it was skimpy as hell. Hardly any costumes. NO skeleton or gorilla gloves. NO skel body suits. NO werewolf gear. No cop or prisoner costumes. No couples costumes. No dog or cat costumes at all. NO zombie outfits. NO inflatable costumes. A whole wall of wigs, but almost all black ones, and no costumes to go with most of them. NO insect costumes except the kind for toddlers. Nothing funny, like the turd with wings and a halo called Holy Shit I saw a few years ago. Nothing creative like the TV you put on your head so you can be a news anchor. Curiously, there were 5 different witch doctor costumes, barely distinguishable, all for men. And 7 different witch doctor chapeaux. Stacks of cool-ass steampunk hats. Some excellent props and home fashions, but just a few of them. A lot of very unconvincing animatronics. But plastic cobwebs like nothing I've ever seen. Bags marked 200 feet, 400 feet and 750 feet of cobweb AND NO SPIDERS TO DANGLE FROM THEM. What a world...
But there was a whole rotating rack of Trump masks, some with Pinocchio noses...no Bidens!

Earlier today visited Lowe's, Home Depot, Spirit Halloween, and Michaels on a little jaunt to see if any had started marking their stuff down yet. I missed the boat on the big store bargains. I didn't quite find the right mask that I was looking for at Spirit (although they had lots of good ones), and still waiting for Michaels to drop their shit to 50% down from 40%-off. It's just 10%, but there's nothing there I can't live without. Still, they do that and I'll buy up every last one of their giant frogs. I did find a perfect mini-witch broom for one of my creepy trick-r'-treater props, and that made the whole trip worth it. I was concerned that it might be a down Halloween season for Spirit stores, but you sure wouldn't know it from the number of people buying costumes at this one.
