Halloween 2011: Miniature Halloween Tree Ornaments
Saw these miniature Halloween Tree ornaments at T. J. Maxx today.
Halloween Candy
Halloween Grow Your Own Mummy
Here’s a Grow Your Own novelty a bit more family-friendly than the bloody hand. Again, great use of simple color and illustration on the card.
Halloween Monster Pooper Wind-Up
There is something giddily stupid about this wind-up monster pooping candy. Those candy poopers for Christmas, like the reindeer, or even the Halloween cat dropping these sugary dumps is more sensible in design. Although I'd rather it look more gruesome it does have a certain style to it, I'll grant you that. The catch-line is perfect: Wind me up and watch me go!
It would be more quixotically daring to have a rotting,worm-infested, puss-blowing zombie pooping these brightly colored candy treats, though, wouldn't it? Or maybe I've been watching too many horror movies.
Halloween Skeleton and Tombstone
Pop-Up Pin-On
Tombstones and skeletons go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Halloween Ring Light-Ups
Witch, Cat, Skull
What every fashionable ghoul like you needs to wear on Halloween night: flashing ring light-ups adorning your claws. The witch, skull, and cat are made by Illuminix. They can either blink slow, or fast, or you can leave the red light on. I don't recall who makes the metal skull ring in the middle, but you twist the skull a little to turn on his eyes, which change colors as they blink. The witch has all the right colors and demeanor to be Halloween-witchy, but the black cat is my favorite. His eyes glow red (but the battery's too weak to show it in the photo).
Halloween Flashing Pins
Skull, Witch, Pumpkin
I picked these flashing LED pins up at a Rite Aid in Hershey, Pennsylvania. I like the Skull the most because he doesn't smile.
Halloween Trick or Treaters
Vintage Photograph
Ring the bells and mouth the yells, the bag o’treats starts to open
Don the mask and start the task of fresh Jack o’Lantern pokin’
Halloween Rattlin’ Shakin’ Candy Coffin
This is actually quite creepy-cool: you pull on the skeleton’s foot dangling out of the coffin and he shakes, rattles, and rolls like an Elvis Impersonator. The spider and web graphic on the coffin lid is a wonderful touch.
Halloween Howlin’ Heads Light-Ups
Pumpkin and Hooded Skull
Press the buttons on these Bowtie Pumpkin and Hooded Skull Howlin' Heads and their eyes light up while spooky sounds scare away the vampires while you eat the candy. I like candy treats that entertain you while you eat.
Halloween Wolf Man Teeth
These teeth aren’t as formidable looking as the Wolf Teeth appliance. They’re more for nibbling rather than biting out chunks of flesh…
Halloween Wind-Up Creatures
Big Eye, Invisible Man, Skeleton
I look forward to finding these little wind-up creatues every Halloween. I picked up the Invisible Man at a CVS store. I'm not sure why he's holding a magnifying glass, but the spectables and scarf are a nice touch. In back of each glaring eye-ball is a green monster's hand holding it. Doesn't make much sense, but the design is creepy-cool. And the skeleton ninja–at least that's what I call him–looks like he's poised to chop your socks off.
