Love looking at the Halloween decors. Not much out here yet - but kids go back to school on Wednesday - so all of the seasonal departments will turn over to Halloween within a day or two after that!

Have mainly just seen fall decor but I suspect that will be expanded to Halloween/Thanksgiving any day...

The Halloween-themed stores that pop up this time of year are starting to show up in my area, so excited.

Do you put alot up for Halloween Mike? I do alot inside. Flower arrangements, wreaths, witches, a mini Halloween village, scarecrows, candles, stuffed animals, window hangings and many other little items. Outside, I have an electric jack-o-lantern, a cute blow-mold ghost, 3 windsocks, and a few scarecrows. I usually put everything on display in early October. Some people here go absolutely nuts for Halloween. Lights everywhere, graveyard scenes with animated characters and so on. On Halloween night they will often have people portraying ghosts, witches vampires, etc for the trick-or-treaters. (Just like on those old "Roseanne" episodes!)
When I was a kid, no-one did too much. We had our carved pumpkins and a picture of a witch in the window. Adults really didn't even dress up. Its so much more fun now!

I don't go to the extent of my Christmas lights, but I have a few items I put out, as well as some orange and purple lights for around the windows. I have a handful of blow molds. We also will carve pumpkins a couple days before Halloween and put them next to the front step. I don't do a graveyard, or anything too fancy. Just enough to get the kids excited and the juices flowing.
