For the last 2 months, I have been buying alot of Halloween decorations. I mean honestly, can your house be over decorated for halloween...no!

By the way, Big Lots is a gem and everything is now 30% off as of yesterday....

This is so funny! I was in Big Lots yesterday and thought to myself "who the hell buys all of this Halloween sh*t?" Now I know. :)

I have the same addiction!

Big Lots is the poo for Halloween deco. They have lots of scary stuff. Walgreens is good too, if you shop there closer to Halloween like the day before they will mark everything down to get it out. Big Lots is good to go to after Halloween for sales if you plan on doing this next year too. The dollar tree usually has those small gothic tombstones, they're pretty neat.

But IMO, if you want it to look good invest in some black lights, the real ones not the incandescent kind. You can have minimal decorations and it still look awesome with black lights & spiderwebs. Make sure you take the time to really spread out the spider webs, they will look so much better and if you can only find the spider rings make sure you cut the ring part off cause it looks stupid.

I made a party punch once and used cranberry juice to fill latex gloves(washed them first), freeze the filled gloves and use it to float in the punch. The funny thing was the fingers ended up falling off in such a way where it looked like it was giving you the finger.

You can do the same thing with a cheap plastic mask just cover the eyes & nose holes with tape.

Tonic water http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic_water will glow under a black light. Pretty cool effects when you put in fake snakes, spiders, body parts in old jars with the tonic water.

I was just at the store and saw some gummy body parts. I have a whole collection of body parts, they are made out of that sticky rubbery stuff that will stick to the wall when you throw it.

Use glow in the dark hairspray on mirrors, windows & other washable nonporous things.

Rig a big nasty fake spider on a fishing line over your door & connected to something from above like a light so when you open your door the spider will appear as if it's crawling back up to it's web.

Spiderwebs. Make sure you take the time to really spread out the spider webs, they will look so much better and if you can only find the spider rings make sure you cut the ring part off cause it looks stupid.

I have real spider webs! Anyone wants them are welcome to it. :D

(It's tough for me to reach up into corners from my "chair". I usually hire Merry Maids once a year to come in and clean up high.)

Pshh, don't use that as an excuse. I'm probably only a couple inches taller than you when I'm standing. I have a duster with a 20ft telescopic handle on it. ;)

      First of all Sooners fan? Mods? Second if you think someone needs a specific reason to hate Texas you don’t watch real college football.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
