I agree that Christmas stuff comes out way too early, but Halloween decorations fill me with joy. There’s not a bad time of the year for spooky in my opinion. People people watch horror movies in the spring. Christmas decorations are specifically tied down to Christmas. Halloween decorations are Halloween or just you think a big skull next to your front door looks cool.
Sadly, unlike the 365-day-a-year Christmas stores I see on occasion, the 365-day-a-year Halloween store is not something I have encountered yet.
Yeah, but now my teen wants us to dress up as horror characters for college move-in day. I’m still trying to decide if I could get away with a chainsaw arm without being arrested and shot
I am reminded of one Halloween at ERAU, one of the professors dressed up as a kind of generic ghoul/ghost, Scream mask and all, long black robes, and a Segway so he could spookily float around.
You can always be a victim. Or a zombie. That could be fun. Shuffling into the dorm room carrying a desk and saying, “braaaaaaainssss” to the new roommate.
Good point. I wonder if I even still have bits of zombie costume from my college days … the extra decaying from the last few decades could conceivably make it better

That would be a great idea!
If my daughter asks me to do that when she’s old enough, I will totally do it. But yeah, maybe not chainsaw arm.
So, machete then? I should take a machete to college move-in day?
The problem is most humanoid horror characters have obvious weapons.
