09/10/2006: The 2006 X-E Halloween Countdown starts now!

Well, it's that time of year again…

Welcome to the 2006 X-Entertainment Halloween Countdown — a two month tribute to all things spooky, old and new, stupid and awesome. Barring circumstances beyond my control, like exhaustion or laziness, new articles will be posted every weekday between now and Halloween. That's almost forty tributes to terror. Kicking off this year's Countdown is a look back at Flying Funkins, a line of creature bag balloon kits that turned anyone's front yard into something the kids should beware.

Big thanks to Brian Jacks, who came through for us with yet another fantastic design. This is the best looking Halloween Countdown yet. So pretty.

Of course, not everything I pick up this season will necessarily be worthy of its own Countdown entry, so look for a continuation of the frightful festivities here on the blog. I'll be using this space to cover a lot of the smaller stuff, like say, bags of candy corn.

Those krauts at Target have figured out a sneaky way to get people to buy Candy Corn and "Autumn Mix," which is essentially just candy corn in different shapes. This is not a candy that can be trusted to do well on its own, because most people have a five piece limit on eating candy corn. Anything above that brings on the sick, and thus, there's virtually no reason at all to buy entire bags of the junk, unless you're one of those traditional types who can't stand having a coffee table without a full bowl of candy corn on it during the Halloween season, even if nobody touches it.

While most people just skip the shit altogether, Target's trick will get even the most devout candy corn haters buying bags by the truckload. Hidden in each bag are paper scratch-off could-be gift certificates, giving consumers the chance to maybe possibly potentially win 500.00 Target gift certificates. The thought of it was enough to get me to buy two bags, which is just my way of not admitting that I actually bought six bags.

Ah fer Christ's sake.

When I read that the Halloween Countdown was starting, I clasped my hands before me in a gesture of extreme pleasure.
My mom definitely needs to have candy corn in a dish, but since she lives three hours away I don't have to be afraid of going over casually, thinking "maybe this year" and then gagging.

Every year I see that stuff and have the urge to buy a bag. I won't eat half of it but like Marshmellow Peeps and Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes it's one of those seasonal things I have to get. But I can always just buy a little .50 bag of candy corn to appease the need. =P

Matt - did you see the high end candy corn Target is pushing this year. All kinds of weird combination flavors like green apple.

I've just started running a clearance store for a Minnesota drug store chain. It's like the 5th circle of retail hell, but at least its quiet. I've tried to spruce up the place by decorating for Halloween, but so far it seems lacking. Anyone have any ideas for a decorate a store for Halloween on the cheap and in such a way that it doesn't scare the little old ladies away?

Ooooooh! I'm so glad I decided not to go on vacation with my parents! I'd be missing the first week of Halloween!

Also, I'm going for the slow burn this year, meaning there's still some design tweaks and features yet to come. Stay tuned and enjoy.

The only person I know who ever had candy corn in the house would be very ashamed of you for throwing that away. (She was one of those "There are starving kids in China!" people.) But candy corn people are like that.

The Halloween countdown always makes me feel like less of a freak for being too into Halloween and annoying my roommates by hogging the TV with a non-stop barrage of horror movies for a month.

I've always preferred the pumpkins myself. I usually treat myself to a bag or two of little candy squashes between mid-September and the week after Halloween when all the Halloween candy's on massive sales.

I won't be putting up my actual Halloween stuff until early next month, but I'm hoping to get some random, non-holiday-related fall decorations (like fake squash and Indian corn) for my place. I love the countdowns, but maybe it's just a bit too early. I know you burn out, Matt.

On the other hand, I'm happy to report that the grocery store where I work and the Wal-Mart nearby finally have their Halloween stuff out. The grocery store actually had some great stuff (including lights and and a light-up pumpkin I may buy) despite their tiny seasonal section, and the Wal-Mart had everything from sticky "gruesome hands" to rats on fake blood-soaked "caps" and tons of candy.

“I could've lived without the "Here Lies Dem Bones" tombstone, but on the other hand, it gives credence to the argument that the skeleton once belonged to a Jamaican conch smuggler who partied by night.”

Best sentence ever! I’m so psyched about this, the beginning of the Halloween countdown, I’m feeling jazzed.

Did anyone else think of Ackbar and the “trap” when they read “eek it’s a trick!”?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Almost 2 months of spooky-themed shit! I am giddy behind all levels.

I do sort of like candy corn, but I also agree with the five-piece limit beyond which it induces nausea. Also for some reason I like the pumpkins way more than regular candy corn. I realize it's the same basic material, so there's no justification for this, but I just cannot resist the candy corn pumpkins.

Also I bought that high-end Target candy corn , the green apple kind. I'm not really sure why. Curiosity, I guess. It doesn't taste bad, but it really doesn't taste like candy corn either, which makes me ask myself, "Why am I buying candy corn if it doesn't taste like candy corn?" But Target seems to have that effect on me, making me buy things I never meant to buy. That's why I have to restrict the number of times I allow myself to go there.

Well, since I just discovered these thrilling little countdowns last week (and have read every single one of them, thank you very much), I am quite excited to actually be present for this year's! (And I'll have you know I can't walk down the Halloween candy isle at Wal-Mart without thinking, "Ohh! Matt should write one about these!") haha! Can't wait!

We used to get the pumpkin bags, never the ones to hang in trees though. Around where I live, Halloween decorations are abundant. There's usually a little bit at every other house. That seems like alot to me. I put out a scarecrow and pumpkins, I'll save the scary stuff for the beginning of October.
As for Candy Corn, I prefer the kind with chocolate ends. And i can't even eat very many of those. Does anyone know what they're meant to be flavored as?

::shoves five tons of candy corn and skull pops in mouth:: halloween!! nothing is sweeter than the taste of pure halloween goodness

now it's time to buy some neon bendable skeletons!

A splooge-tastic surprise of an update tonight, Matt. I'm psyched for this countdown (and, subsequently, for Halloween). Thanks.

Oh my freaking gosh! You've managed to get Tim Curry into the countdown layout! I so appalaud you, Matt. Mmm…Curry.

HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN 2006. Yesssss, sirrrrr! Looking forward to the new articles, features, and jukebox! Pre-emptive thanks to Matt, Brian, and Tummi.

Taking my gear to school tomorrow to decorate. I wonder how many years I will be able to get away with it???

Darth Poop, I didn't think that but any excuse to use that line is a-okay with me.

Not to derail from the Halloween festivites but are you STAR WARS peeps going to buy the new/old DVD's OR wait for the super-duper deluxe versions for the 30th, 32nd, 44th, and 50th anniversary? Seriously, I haven't decided yet. Your thoughts??

Every year I fall for the damned candy corn. [And/or indian corn and/or harvest mix. Yummm.] I eat a few pieces here and there and then…well, I'll just say that a few days ago, I threw away half a bag of candy corn.
Last year's candy corn.

Well buy the CANDY CORN and MIX IT with PEANUTS!!! How many times do I have to say it?

It's on! Viva the Countdown! I admire your commitment, Matt, two whole months of 'weenie goodness is more than anybody can ask for.
However: Volsas? My Spanish isn't so hot, but methinks that's a typographical.

Manimal, if the new DVDs have both the theatrical and special editions, I'm thinking about picking them up and pawning my as-yet-unopened special edition box set (just checked Amazon and it is both versions, so I'm definitely considering it. I'll wait to hear more reviews though.).
Hit the Hallo store yesterday. Didn't find anything great besides a cute doggy pirate costume. It was way too much to be worth buying, but I'll watch for it at markdown time. I had better luck at the grocery, where they'd finally restocked on Pom Tea. Lately all the stores around have been out, with little signs from Pom saying they'd had problems with their harvest and to be patient. Also, I saw bloody worms at Big Lots.
Big thanks to Matt, Brian and Tummi! Here's to a great spooky season for all!

I absolutely love you for starting the countdown so early this year! At least, it feels early.. But I'm already so excited for Halloween so it shall all work out well. =) I'm sorry for your bad luck on the scratch tickets, I'll probably end up buying a bag when I see it. I open the bag right away thinking 'yum, candy corn!' eat a few pieces, then forget about it for weeks. =D
Funny, it seems like the Halloween season is in full swing now just because you officially started the countdown.

Can't wait to see what you have in store!

I hate candy corn…but leave it to Tar-J to make me wanna buy some. Excellent start to the countdown, Matt! Lovin' the Halloween graphics! Can't wait for an updated jukebox.

First of all…I'm happy to report that Colorforms are back!!! I thought they stopped making them, and maybe they did, but I found a ton of em at my KB.

And yay, the halloween countdown has begun again! and here's the first instance of this one this year: How can I burn the songs off of the Jukebox???

Man, I went to Target today and all they had was literally 3 Isles of empty shelves. They all had this cheap cardboard signs with a pumpkin stamped on em' that stated "Don't worry it's not a trick, Halloween will be here soooooon!" only it was written in spooky lettering and the Sooooooooon had like 40 gajillion O's in it.

But the candy Isle is INSANE! Four rows wide by 2 rows deep. Assuming the standard for Target's isles are universal.

They brought back Fashion Plates, too. I was all pissed cuz I'm broke and Toys R Us wanted $25 for a set of Barbie fashion plates. And stupid Wal-Mart only had Dora the Explorer.

I was offered some freelance work so if it actually pans out (third times a charm, right?) I might have some spending money to order some cool Hello Kitty or Disney Princess ones online instead. Dora sucks.

I already have the special editions. I like Hayden, and therefore I do not cringe about him being inserted into Jedi. I will not be purchasing anything else "original trilogy" related.

Ya know, when your half asleep and you see the word Funkins, it really screws you up. It took me a few tries to figure out what that word was. Fuckins, Funkyins, WHAT?

Candy corn is definitely a favorite of mine. Every September, I hit Target for that first (yes, first) bag of corn and then a box of Frankenberry. Why does it, and Boo Berry, only come out this time of year?! I could eat it everyday, all year round. Bastards.

It'll usually take me about a month to polish off the bag of candy corn, and I'll buy another just before Halloween, eat maybe half of it, and eventually toss it out. They're a gut buster…

ColonelCatsup: I've been munching on Booberry and Frankenberry all year long, courtesy of my local Wal Mart.

I love Count Chocula, Boo Berry and Frankinberry, but I can't eat tons of it. And I bought the monster three pack at Sams last year, mixed them (like Matt suggested) and it was really too much for me. But I think that if I was a four year old, I would have had a fit of joy for the awesomeness of it all. And, oddly enough, even though I wasn't a huge fan of it, the odds of me buying all three and mixing them again this year are very very very good, the idea is just to great to pass up.

I loved Funkins! I didn't remember them as well until I saw the picture of the package with the kid being way to scared of a plastic bag, then it all came back.

Thank you Matt. Like everyone else I have been anxious for Halloween but felt embarrassed slightly for wanting to get into the spirit way too early. This next two months are going to be fun

Maaan, my local Wal-Mart doesn't. They're not capable of something cool like that. All that damned place is good for is the freak show that it is….

those sneaky bastards at target. i worked there for 6 months and hated every second of it. yet i still find myself mesmerized when i go in there…mainly by their "seasonal" section. that place is amazing.

mine still hasnt finished setting up their halloween display. it's always half-assed here in charlottesville, va.

What's up with all this "Gourmet" flavored candy corn they have lately? I was at B&N the other day getting a bottle of water and they had this small bags of like strawberry and stuff candy corn for like $8 a bag. Shit, for $8 I can get 8 pounds of regular candy corn! I love candy corn, I probably could eat like 8 lbs of it.

Jester: My Target also has a Starbucks. It's a shiny new Target that just opened in July. Yep, I live in such a backwoods place that the first Target in the entire county just opened this summer. It's sad.

I got a box of "Trix or Treat" today. There's an announcement on it that says if it screams when you open it you're a big winner. I don't even know what the prize is, I just wanted to have a screaming cereal box. Sadly, that was not to be.

Woo! Halloween. It still feels a little early to me but I've been watching and waiting for signs of the season to start showing up. The first was a Halloween store opening up in the local mall one or two weeks ago, and now this. Early or not I'm totally ready. Is there a way to see a list of all the songs on the jukebox? I just get a bunch of numbers.

I was just wondering, have the jack-o-lantern peeps always been the easter bunny peeps or are they taking shortcuts this year. My husband consumes enough of these confectionary confections to become the stay puft man. I was able to snag one for examination before it too was gobbled down.

I am SO gonna watch ROcky Horror this halloween in between handing out candy…Its gonna be my first year handing out candy at my own little house. I've had apartments in the past, and kids dont usually come into apartment bulidings. So im gonna have the windows open…scary sounds a blastin' and rocky horror on the tube…now for the costume…i havent thought about that yet…my puppy is gonna be a devil or a hot dog.

Excellent! The XE Halloween Countdown has become part of my Halloween traditions.

Looking forward to another Stellar Halloween Countdown! Glad that there are other folks that suffer from Peter Pan Syndrome around the Holidays!

Can someone explain for me exactly what Candy Corn IS? I'm from the UK, and always thought Candy Corn was just the name for sweet popcorn in the States, but from the looks of things it's like still in kernal form and coated with sugar. Is that right? Is it toasted or something? Sounds kinda grim…

Yay for Halloween!!! I am going to Target tomorrow (gotta pick up The Office Season 2 on DVD). Do they have the Halloween Jones Sodas out yet? I can't wait to taste them again!

It's candy in the shape of corn only, there's no actual corn involved. The pumpkins are better anyway. Look closely and you can see a couple in the pic. (Sweet popcorn would just be kettle or caramel corn.)
There's more at stake than just blue ghost Hayden when it comes to the OT. Han shoots first

. Actually that's the only major issue I have off the top of my head, but there's something to be said for the charm of the old school fx as well.

Hola, ppls! First off, candy corn is OK with me, but ONLY the white part… Ah, the years of getting yelled at when my mom would look into the big bowl of the stuff she always set out on the coffee table to see that the white ends on all the peices had been neatly bitten off… SECONDLY, autum mix is awesome, but only the yellow moons and the maple jugs, which are # 3 on my MUST HAVES list for halloween candification. THIRDLY, yes, my Target has a starbucks, and like Jazzy it's new, and the first one in the county… although to date there are only 2 in the entire state… FOURTHLY Halloween early for me is a family tradition… it USED to be that we all had to wait until the 12th of september before decorating, buying candy, etc (today, the 11th, is my sister's birthday, and she objected horribly as soon as she was old enough to the pre-birthday festivities, thus they ended) But in the years since I have moved out of my parents' domain, I find myself PROUDLY celebrating as early as I am able, although perhaps this year was a record, as I started on the day before Labor Day.

I also saw those "gourmet" flavored candy corn at Target. On one hand, I want to try it. On the other hand, I REALLY hate candy corn. I didn't see any of the Halloween Jones Sodas though.

Hey, on a side note, has anyone successfully fried a marshmallow peep? None of my experiments are working! :'(

Yes!! Matt, you made my day. I have a severe head cold, and wanted XE to cheer me up, and it so has- the Halloween season has begun, and all is well with the world.

I am already trying to think of a really cool costume for this year. Last year I was in Korea, and they don't 'do' Halloween like we do, so it kind of sucked. I want to make up for it this year.

Technically candy corn DOES involve corn, because, like most other candy, it's made from corn syrup.

Greetings y'all. Loved the Funkins piece. These were a particular favorite of my mom. We had all four on the porch in '92 for my Halloween party, and a graveyard in the flower beds, a scarecrow on the bench, the whole nine yards. I think that was the last time we went all out.

Went to the dollar store this weekend (a member of the Dollar Tree family) and was gratified to see them all Halloweened out. Picked up a couple of little things — a skeleton for the door, a big orange bowl candy corns and pumpkins and black cats dancing around the edge of it, and a cool stress ball thingy that pops out in massive pimples with nipples when you squeeze it. They had Peeps Pumpkins, but I'm not a Peeps kinda girl.

Speaking of twist ties and other assorted junk drawer fodder (pens, batteries, paper clips, etc). Doesn't what Matt said ring true? We all have about 1,000 of junk drawer crap lying around the house, that is until we need it. Then those items seem to vanish. Ever have about 1,000 pens lying around until you need to actually write something? Then they're either gone or out of ink. Grr.

That Peep site is awesome. My friend just told me about Peep wars, where you put a tooth pick in a Peep like a sword an put two of them facing off in the microwave, who ever gets poked first looses.

I bought the "trilogy" when it came out on DVD in the boxset. I will not buy it again unless they release teh original, untouched versions - which will likely never happen. The trilogy set was the forth time i bought Star Wars too. I will wait til a HD format thats for sure…

Oh and candy corn is horrible. There was candy corn yogurt at a local joint one year and it was the most wretched ice cream imaginable.

Yes, it's hard getting past 5 pieces, but once you do, you're tongue is rotted out from the inside, your tastebuds have given up the ghost and you're riding a sugar high of euphoric transendence that can only be secondary to "The Rapture".

By half a bag, I really feel like crap and my survival skills kick in, making sure I understand;
IF I EAT ONE MORE… I WILL DIE.

So, I put them away for a week or so until I have sufficiently detoxified my system and then, do it ALL OVER AGAIN!

(…and NO. Believe it or not…I am not overweight. I'm out of SHAPE, yes. But only because my job demands that I sit on my ass all day and then I have house work to do at night. So, exercise comes in the shape of chasing the damn cats around the house.)

Yes, I love horror movies (none have ever actually scared me, sadly. I remember, as a little kid, sitting in a dark room with my sister, watching the Excorcist. I remember she was all freaked out, but wasn't sure if she was MORE freaked out by the movie or that her little brother thought it was hilarious.
I laughed thru most of that film. The parts that didn't bore me, at least).

And I have ALWAYS loved decorating for the trick or treaters.
And the BEST part was disguising myself as a part of the lawn display (I'd sit motionless in a chair, by the door, in a costume that hid my face, so they'd think I was a manequin or scarecrow-thing), and then when the kids (and their parents) would come up to the door, I'd MOVE!

For a few years the wife and I lived in an upstairs apartment.
I decked out all the windows and the stairs that led to my door, and made phony styrofome tombstones for the small patch of grass that I could sorta call "mine".

What might suck even MORE is that NOW we HAVE a house of our own, and last year, for our first Halloween here, we set up a Metric-TON of cool, great lawn displays and pumpkin leaf bags and all sorts of goodies… for NOTHING!

As it turns out, while this area of the world (I live in a heavily wooded area in the Pocono's of PA) is REALLY INTO decorating for holidays (On Sept 1st they all deck out for the Halloween festivities), my little community has NO trick-or-treaters!

Of course, our driveway is about the length of a football field, and at night, there are NO street lights (or lights PERIOD).
So, I kinda doubt that any kid is going to come down to the dead-end that we live on (yes! we live at the last house on a DEAD-END! I ALWAYS WANTED to live at the last house on a dead-end), and then walk along this pitch-black, heavily woooded, long-ass driveway of TERROR, just for some swag.

Now, granted, I always give GREAT stuff for halloween (comic books, little halloween themed toys from dollar stores and, yes, GOOD candy), but no one came.

I'll be placing some kind of sign at the end of the driveway (since the pumpkin leaf bags didn't do the job last year), and maybe try to get some kind of lighting for the DRIVEWAY of DOOM!

Oh well.
ThanX for the countdown.
At least THAT will perk me up for the HOWLadays!

Hot diggity-damn! I've read the Halloween Countdowns for the last 3 years but this is the first year I've been posting on the blog. When I saw this at lunch, I felt like I did when I was 9 back in 1980 and found a Yoda figure on the pegs after weeks of looking. Yes, I felt THAT special.

I bought my first Halloween non-candy goodie over the weekend, a glowing pumpkin that is so plain that it is spectacular (I don't like pumpkins with exaggerated faces). I recently got a promotion so I have a little more "entertainment cash" to spend on my Peter Pan complex. I came damn close to buying a hanging grim reaper-ish ghoul and a seemingly-floating head at Walgreen's. The floaty head is in a crystal ball-like orb and is darn fun. It moves around with subtle mood lighting inside as it talks…..awesome. However, my 2 and a half year old daughter went completely batpoop when she saw some of the spooky stuff. Sigh, she didn't do that last year. I'll have to crank back the ghoulishness at the freudguy household this year.

The original untouched versions are included in this latest trilogy release. They're so untouched that they didn't bother to update the transfer from the laserdisc versions.

You mean… Han Solo does NOT shoot first in the new DVD release? And the horrible CGI dance/singing thing is gone too? If thats the case…… i might have to buy it again.

I arrived to work today,
and what did I see?
The Halloween Countdown,
had started on X-E.
I screamed like a girl,
I wondered when you would start it.
I now want to hurl,
cause of those bastards at Target.
Candy corn? blah that stuff sucks hard,
I wouldn't even eat it if they gave 3 gift cards.
I await each new day now,
of this holiday season.
Matt's reviews are how,
Halloween Countdown is the reason.

This year, I'm planning on setting up a little seperate candy giveaway in the dark place (Garth Merenghi not included) on one side of the house for my nephews. Although, how creepy can a patio umbrella be is up to debate. But, a spare TV, some lights, and a extension cord leading out a window will help. I always anticipate All Saint's with unbridled glee.

I'm definitely going to buy anything with the original Star Wars trilogy on it, because, like someone else remarked, my VHS is starting to wear a little thin. I REFUSED to buy the _remastered, Greedo shoots first, "gee, R2, it's a good thing you don't taste very good" line deleted_ piece of crap. Ugh. Hooray, original edition!

We never get trick-or-treaters because we live in the middle of the woods and our only neighbors are elderly religious types who don't "believe" in Halloween. We decorate anyway, for our own enjoyment. Our house looks really awesome decorated for Halloween because it's an old house (built in the 30s) and is always covered in cobwebs, and the yard is generally overgrown. It actually somewhat resembles the old farmhouse Matt wrote about a year or so ago. So some extra fake cobwebs and haphazard orange icicle lights on my house makes for a pretty creepy Halloween scene. Shame no one ever sees it, though.

Oh God, today was perfect. Is perfect! I had to be at work at 6am, it rained allll morning, then when I left at 2:30, the sky was so cloudy, no sun in sight, and it was dismal, and the air had a slight chill in it. *whimper* It was wonderful!

I spent a few hours yesterday making Halloween crafts to decorate the house with. I purposefully put in for vacation the last week of this month to focus on Halloween and cleaning/decorating, so I'm trying to get a jump on the projects.

I, personally, squealed with glee last night when I saw the countdown had started.

I think it was perfect timing.

But, I didn't know Candy Corn had honey in it. I thought gelatin was the only forbidden ingredient for me, but alas, 2 strikes! That is cool about the gift cards though, but yeah, sucks you didn't win, Matt.

Hot damn. Nothing puts me in quite a mood like the Halloween Countdown. Mix this with the instant onset of sweater weather here in Michigan and I'm in the best mood in quite awhile.

I actually spotted a couple scary garbage bag kits at Meijer last night. Very excited to head back and pick them up.

Dude!!! Check out Dollar Tree man. Amazing stuff vintage frickin' Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, Godzilla, etc. posters, finger puppets and figurines for a $1!!!!

You people and your sweater weather. I was celebrating it cooling down to 91 degree this weekend

Lilly: Office fans represent! My Tifaux just started showing an episode description for the season premiere, and there was much joyous celebrating. I was planning on hitting Target and getting the DVD tomorrow, despite not being able to afford it, just to ensure getting the special bonus DVD. But I just found out that Best Buy is selling season one and two together, along with assorted Dunder Mifflin goodies (post-its, calendar, etc) so now I'm really conflicted.
(If anyone wants to know the description, it was as follows (after the spoiler stars): ****Michael accidentally outs a gay coworker; The Jim and Pam situation****)
Back on topic! Pumpkin cream cheese muffins have returned at Starbucks! Between that and the Countdown starting, it's really official.

Honestly, even if I did win the 500 dollar giftcard, I'd be afraid those rat bastards wouldn't pay up. Thus turning my life into a Charles Bronson film.

If anyone's interested,yesterday would have been Gunpei Yokoi's 65th birthday had he still been alive. He was the inventor of:
The D-Pad (and overall NES controller)
Game & Watch handhelds
Game Boy
Virtual Boy
Metroid
Kid Icarus
-more that I can't remember. And I guess you could say he's partly responsible for DS Lite,since it looks like an Appleized Game & Watch.

I found the most awesome masks at Wal-Mart. They were a dollar each, and, surprisingly, weren't those hard plastic ones people usually sell. They were really good quality, as in they realistically fit your face.

So, I bought one of each kind: Frankenstein, Jack O'Lantern, Skellington, and Devil.

Candycorn is honey and vanilla flavored, what's not to like?!? I think this is a winning combination. I love it and eat a bag or two of the pumpkins each Halloween. ACtually on Halloween I make a candy bowl of candycorn, dark chocolate kisses, mixed Halloween Hershey minis, Blackjacks (licorice that is pink and grey and white taffy) and Reese's cups, then I alternate betwixt watching horror films and going into a coma all weekend.

You people are on crack. Has anyone noticed that the Target brand taste nasty? Nobody in the office will even eat them. We opened a bag of Brachs and it disappears (bag a day).

they should bring back the funkins haunting collection, it was great and they last a long time.
