[For once, the lateness of this post isn't on me. See the title image above? It took me two weeks to get it up there. Two. Weeks. Get it together Tumblr.]
Hey! It’s Halloween Extreme part two! (If you've no idea what I’m talking about, go read this. Or your fired.) "Hauls" seem to be a thing right now, so I thought I'd get in on that action. I’ll tell you now, the most expensive thing I bought cost me $10 and most of it is cardboard. That whole “randomly become a millionaire" thing hasn't really panned-out yet.
First thing on the list: The bat mobile!
na-na-na-na-na-na-na, oh... Never mind.
Yeah, an actual mobile with non-actual bats! Exactly what you pictured, right? One of the selling points, besides disappointing people when they realize that bat mobile does not equal Batmobile, is that it's totally customizable.
You can hang the bats however you want, as long as you want to hang them in the 3 pre-cut holes. I guess you could use them as separate pieces, though that ruins the "mobile" part and people will throw rocks at you and then you'll be exiled because WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!
Oooh, cornery
Also, unless you have a stupid high ceiling, this thing works best in corners. (Not sure what "stupid high" converts to in the metric system...)
Onto the next thing, which is more than one thing, really.
These Hallowe'en cut-outs I saw from afar, and were an instant sell. Glossy on one side, not so much on the other. For reasons unknown I am on team matte. I don't know if I'm using the whole "team" thing right. Should've just said I like the papery side better, but I already typed it so screw it, I'm committed now.
Didn't notice it when I took this photo, so no, I'm not sure what was going to the left. Whatever it was, it pissed off the owl and offended the witches completely. Pumpkin man seems to be happy about it. Maybe it was a matching outfit for his tie. The disapproval makes sense now.
In part one of the H.E. posts, I mentioned that I bought some stuff from the Sinister Signs booth. I did, and if you can guess what I bought, you're a stalker and that shit is creepy. Stop it.
I bought hair bows from a sign booth. Because I'm an adult. It says so on my driver's license. And on my hand so I don't forget that. Thanks mom!
Now that I got the only things covered that aren't made-a-paper, time for more paper.
I'm not gonna lie, I had trouble with this next one. There was a big 'ol selection of these and I went back to this vendor three times in two days, struggling to make this decision. It was ultimately between a "Halloween tree" and cannonball corpse here. The tree was great but skeleton man was cheaper. The only real problem I had with him was, I just didn't like the eyes.
I solved that problem. With acrylic paint. AND PAIN.
An invisible lady for each arm!
Oh look, a random stuff party is happening.
I wasn't invited. Apparently paint-blinding is a faux pas of some sort.
Are you one of those people who suck at keeping things alive but got drunk once and decided to buy a dozen mice just because? If so, have I got just the thing for you!
Introducing Mouse Graveyard! (Mouse Coffins sold separately.)
Alright, so, maybe it's just table décor and not specifically for mice who have ceased to be. There's actually 6 tombstones and the fencing is longer, but it's in my contract that I have to be terribly lazy when setting things up. I tried to fight it, really I did.
The only complaint about it, is that it only has three pieces on fencing so it's more of a "put up against a wall and hope no one notices" decoration.
But hey, if you don't like the incomplete fence, you can nix it completely for alternative use. The backs don't have any text, making them ideal for place cards... For guests... At your mouse funeral!
Welp, that was all the things I bought. Other than soda to mix with liquor and food to counteract the liquor. And water. Sooooo much water.
Oh, and just one more thing: I found out yesterday* that Dollar Tree is already selling Halloween merchandise, so here's hoping the gap between posts isn't unforgivably long.
