Having just posted about a flying witch whiskey decanter, it seems apropos to mention this Skeleton Poison decanter seen on eBay. Made in Japan, circa 1940s, this is quite a fetching Halloween centerpiece for your party table.
Here in Zombos' Closet it's always Halloween. And always a good time to enjoy some sour mash whiskey. So here's a flying witch whiskey decanter for you, spotted on eBay.
Sure, you have your Amazon Prime Music, Spotify, Pandora, iTunes, and on and on and on. Back then, we had Wurlitzer. Eat your heart out.
Spirit Halloween is doing a scary subway display this year, and I finally got to see it in all its gory. This store is at the Source Mall on Long Island. The mall, facing stiff competition from others close by, and hit by its anchor stores leaving, is pretty spooky all by itself. The top floor is mostly shuttered shop fronts, and the food court is now more a snack instead of a meal kind of place. But the Spirit Halloween store has the advantage of using a large, previously vacated space, so the merchandising is spectacular (if you’re a Halloween fanatic, that is).

Some inviting items this year on the shelves at Walgreens. Among the dancing skeletons and animated Medusas, there's an adorable pumpkin pop-up Grim Reaper and a nifty candy dish with a drop-down spider. Giant skull and clown heads will round out any scary decor, and the Day of the Dead and Nightmare Before Christmas decorations get their own endcaps.

If you want to piss your pants with excitement, I suggest you go into Home Depot. I went there this morning to buy a few sprinkler heads (yeah, an exciting life is mine, right?). And lo and behold, I had to swallow my heart back into my chest after seeing their Halloween display. And there's no better indication our economy is back on track–in spite of all the dyspepsia from the China Syndrome–than a well stocked Halloween display. And Home Depot keeps outdoing itself each year.
Exciting additions this year are a Dragon Phone (last year they had a Skull Phone), a nice line of lawn blow-ups (great for photo ops for the kids), and an even nicer line of simple animatronics to dress up your Halloween bash.

Michaels is my first invigorating breath of Halloween because I know they have their displays up in August (bless you!). They always have a wickedly good assortment of home decor items and small collectibles. And how can you pass up their Lemax Spooky Town display? This time I spotted the cute little zombies in the first photo, just as I was leaving. Of course I took a few of them home with me. They even squeak!

With Halloween around the corner, here are some cool teeth I saw on eBay you can sink your gums into. The piece de resistance is the Whistling Dracula Teeth. Why bother hypnotizing your prey when you just whistle for them to come to you? (for more bite, see Halloween Teeth 2)

I started collecting pocket screamers two years ago, not sure why really, but they do make great display items, and they're like Beanie Babies in their appeal; but these babies are much creepier and scarier, and therefore perfect for Halloween.
