Those are awesome!!!
Thanks. They made me laugh because they reminded me of the old "Funny Face" drink mix cups they used to sell in the early 70s (yes, I'm old!). I can't find much about them other than possibly from the late 90s.

I also can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but the TV they are sitting on at the moment was an estate sale find for cheap. It's the same model TV used in Poltergeist.

Good Morning Pumpkin People! Happy very final day of winter!

We're going to see our "Halfoween" count enter the 30's THIS WEEKEND, and our "Fall Preseason" count continues to inch closer and closer to its 100 Day milestone. That count is just wild to me here in mid-March.

On the immediate front we are under two weeks to go to the official start to Spooky Spring, and rolling in to the penultimate weekend before Spooky Spring Kick Off Weekend! It's a good place to be.

Have a great Thursday!

Happy Friday Pumpkin People! And Happy 1st day of Spring!

We are finally through winter. I have said it a dozen times or so but i truly believe that was the worst winter I have ever been through.

Spring brings a lot of hope and a lot of excitement because (hopefully) the brutal cold and wind is over. And my wish is that we have a true Spring season before going straight to summer weather.

Time marches on! Under two weeks to go now on both our beginning to Spooky Spring AND JOL Day #3. And we will see the Halfoween count dip into the 30's on Sunday! That's wild!

I hope everyone has a great first Friday of Spring!

I agree...that was a fairly brutal winter. I'm happy that as I write this that winter is in its last dying breaths. I just may have a small celebration at 10:46 a.m. (EST).
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. It's a chilly morning here as spring is about to arrive officially in about half an hour. Ironically, we will see a warmup this weekend. I'll take it while we can. We made it through the worst winter in many years. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Welcome to the first weekend of Spring!

We move along in our counts today and see some mighty skinny ones on our way to JOL Day #3, and the start of Spooky Spring! And we will see our Halfoween count enter into the 30's tomorrow!

I think while we are out and about today, a Hobby Lobby trip is in order. It is my first "Fall Hunting" trip that I am embarking on in 2026, now that St. Patrick's Day is over. Who knows, I might even see some CHRISTMAS tubs up on the very top shelf of the isles. I'll report back later today!

I hope everyone has a great day!

I waited too long to look for St. Patrick's Day decor again this year. Is it getting squeezed out by Valentine's and Easter, or did I spend too many weekends at home in January?

The last time I went in Hobby Lobby, it was late January. They had it out then nestled along with the Valentines stuff.
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. It's a cloudy morning here but we should get the sun to come out some today. And the temps are getting milder which feels nice. I'm going to do some food shopping now and then visit my friend after lunch. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Pumpkin People! This time next week, Spooky Spring kick off weekend will be underway!

And you can see in our counts now that HALFOWEEN has now broken into the 30's on the daily count!

We are going to see SINGLE DIGIT counts for Spooky Spring starting tomorrow!

And without further ado, here is "finally" my movie schedule for SPOOKY SPRING 2026:

Do you recognize the "Duds" ? It's not Halloween on TV unless you are playing some Duds. I missed out on some classic Duds like "Spider Man" and "Independence Day". Even I couldn't bring myself to do it. The real joy will be seeing them later this fall on "actual" TV.

Have a great day!

I was going to stop in HL yesterday while we were out, but I ran out of time. I'm so ready to start "hunting" again.

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Happy Monday to you all! I think the weekend went by too fast, and I'm not quite ready to imagine slogging through another work week. The good news is, that NEXT WEEK, as we prepare to enter into Spooky Spring, I am off work on Good Friday, so that should make that week feel a little shorter.

Checking our counts this morning, we're in SINGLE DIGITS now on both our JOL Day Count, and Days to Spooky Spring. Folks, we had our first 90 DEGREE DAY yesterday. I have a terrible feeling we are going to jump straight to summer. I hope not, for the sake of having a "normal" Spooky Spring that feels like October weather, but also because mentally I don't think I (or anyone) is ready to imagine fighting The Sweat Fest for 5/6 months. Hopefully we won't need to.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!

I see three Monday “duds,” for sure, but that’s still a super fun roster. One unexpected surprise (for me, at least) was seeing The Mummy on there. I have never thought of The Mummy as a Halloween movie before, but you know what? It works! He is technically a classic movie monster, and as delightfully campy as that movie is, I think I’m going to add it to my Spooky Season viewings as well!

On April 1, you have Ghost Ship. The first 5 minutes of that movie are WILD!
