Embracing the Halloween spirit (and dollars) well before the frost is on the pumpkin, Michaels unveils its oodles of oddities for Halloween 2024. This year there’s a decidedly wilder color scheme, a lot of white gothic to even out the black, and monstrous (some monsterkids may say blasphemous) humor to be found in the old standbys, Frankenstein and Dracula.
One of these days I’m going to set up a huge Lemax Spooky Town village, I swear it. The smoke and mirrors magic shop is awesome! Put it next to the Phantom Castle and you’ll want to keep it out all year. A walk through the Halloween aisles at Michaels is always rewarding.
Nice to see they are continuing with the blow molds, and the black cat with pumpkin is always a good bet to light up your living room.
Haven’t seen one of these pop up yet, but the local Michael’s craft store has filled up the racks with Halloween merchandise, including those monsters sitting on the can — what a bizarre idea!
I’m torn a bit on this. I like the idea that they’re keeping the classics in mind. I hate the idea that they’re using toilet humor to do it. I’d love to see some real classic monster decorations without the porcelain. But I’m an old monsterkid. They could expand on the blow molds with them or come up with some cool figures, large sized. But would they sell? I’m not sure why frank on the tank would sell, but I don’t know what does for Michaels. But their scope is still impressive and really gives Halloween a grand representation.
