It is that time of year again. Time to start the posting and count down to the greatest day/night of the year. I have already hit both the Halloween Superstore and Spirit Halloween. Here is my take on both stores.
The Halloween Superstore on Macleod Trail (just South of Chinook Centre) is great this year if you are looking for costumes. You have to go way into the back to a small room for props. They have a couple of good ones and their prices aren't too bad. The front of the store is everything for costumes and for in-house decorating. The in-house decorations are pretty nice but kind of "cutesy".
Spirit Halloween (on 32nd Ave NE beside Michaels) is okay this year. I think they had a bigger store last year on Macleod Trail and it had more props and accessories for the yard haunter. Either way, it was a great time wandering through the store. We picked up a couple of things that I hope we can put to use this year. I am hoping to check out the other Spirit Halloween store to see if it is any different. They also have a decent selection of costumes.
As for our progress, I pulled out the pillars out today for a look over and started the process of repainting - again. Yes, I will need to find a better way to store them over the winter. The main issue is that we usually have snow by Halloween and putting things away can be a real hassle. I will need to do some repainting of the archway too.
I am looking at building a grave digger this year and we are working on walls to enclose the witches and possibly building a Mummy room. I will post pics once things are under way.
Happy Haunting!
