Time to die.

I've held off for long enough -- The Halloween Countdown starts Monday!

If you're new to the site, here's how it works: Every weekday between Monday and Halloween, a new spooky article will be posted, covering both new-for-2007 Halloween stuff and tons of ghoulish goodies from yesteryear. I'm pretty happy with the amount of stuff I've found so far, especially considering that I've only really just begun to shop around.

I'm busy putting together next week's articles now, so enjoy the SNT!

- Seriously, when is McDonald’s gonna do the Monopoly game this year?

- Out of the blue, I thought of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pies today.

- “The King of Kong” is the best movie of the year. “DONKEY KONG KILL SCREEN IS COMING UP, IF YOU’RE INTERESTED!”

- Halloween decorations are too tech now. Everything I just saw at the grocery store has a crappy motor inside so that the poorly-painted rubber guy surrounding it moves around when you go near it. Manufacturers need to get back to the basics. I seem to remember being able to buy just plain ol’ bales of hay aa a decoration at any Wal-Mart.

Happy Creation Day, Eddie!

And that DOES sound like a great day, Jessica.

A funny bit that amused us about Target’s Halloween setup this year: We were setting it all up the other morning and our signing guy pointed out that the company documents refer to the hanging bat decorations as the “bat mobiles.” We giggled and then played with the spooky moving books.

First of all, Happy Birthday, Eddie!

Second, woo hoo, Halloween Countdown’s comin’! I can’t wait to search the seasonal Halloween store in Westmont and the AC Moore and two dollar stores nearby for awesome cheap fall junk next week.

I haven’t decided what to be for Halloween yet. I have lots of random little costume bits, but no real outfit.

“cause candy corn is only good when there’s big obnoxious, sugary pumpkins to eat as well.”
Oh, so true! My mom got the Autumn mix somewhere, but I haven’t seen it. Ironically, I work at a grocery store, so I’ve seen plenty of candy corn, but none of the pumpkins (although people have started buying actual pumpkins already).

BTW, Mary Mary, is your name inspired by Jasper Fforde?

Ah… Kind of refreshing like to hear it, y’know?
Just what I need to cheer me up. My new job’s got me so down.

What does SNT stand for? And I want to see King Of Kong really badly; is it still playing?!

1. Happy birthday Eddie
2. If one post ever summed up what I think is the essence of Jessica Marie, it is the one above

3. Went to TARGET and WAL-MART tonight. E. Clarie calls Target “Halloween House” (???) . She likes it but the haunted books (that pop around and talk) scare her. The books?? I think I will keep her away from those; it doesn’t bode well for future literacy.
Allie got some little jack-o-latern mitts.
Can’t wait until Monday!!

Matt, is that you in the Micheal Myers mask?

Chestnuts roasted by Bill @ 09/15/2007 9:22 PM

Very excited about the Halloween countdown. I hope to see a tribute to the Great Pumpkin/Charlie Brown in there somewhere, but if not, I am still very excited. Can’t believe it’s that time of the year!!

Chestnuts roasted by Steve-O @ 09/15/2007 9:31 PM

Okay, consider me back in the saddle. What did I miss?

Oh and HB Eddie

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 09/15/2007 9:48 PM

Alright, I can’t wait anymore. I got the Jukebox going and I just got the 2 Halloween boxes out of the garage.

IT’S TIME!!

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 09/15/2007 9:48 PM

Woo hoo, I can’t wait to see the things I didn’t know I needed.

Glorious Kyle,I was admiring that Freddy last night on Brickshelf. Great job.

Chestnuts roasted by Kid Nicky @ 09/15/2007 10:02 PM

So, how about a Diamond update, Matt? Cause I’m going to do mine, yeah-huh.

I still only have 2 badges, but I’ve been evolving and breeding like crazy. If anyone needs any of the D/P Starters, Bulba, Squirtle, or Torchic, let me know. I’ve also got Feebases who’ll I’ll give a Razz berry so you can farm your way to a Milotic

I’ve also got a Palkia I got from GTS (fair warning) that I wouldn’t mind having a Dialga for.

I’m so ready for this countdown. Waiting for a week for another blog post totally paid off.

Who the fuck else is pumped for the 20 hours of Goosebumps marathon on Cartoon Network? It’s a child hood thing.

Chestnuts roasted by Cotter @ 09/15/2007 10:05 PM

I want some Halloween candy…

What do y’all think of, like, those tiny bags of chips and other snacks that they’ve been packaging for Halloween? You know, to give to trick-or-treaters?

Chestnuts roasted by Annette @ 09/15/2007 10:06 PM

I just added a shot of rum to candy corn jones soda and had it over ice. I recommend everyone else does the same.

This shall be my 5th Halloween countdown I came into X-E actually when the first countdown was about 2 weeks into it so that is how I know how long I have been loyal to this website lol. Funny but true. ‘tear’ sunrise sunset…

I have seen Halloween stuff here and there at walmart and big lots but haven’t ‘got into it’ yet. Watched the Halloween remake…and other scary movies. I know online where to watch the lost boys maybe I can cue that up later that’s a tradition for me. Also Halloween 3 season of the witch (I am one of the rare ones I think that actually enjoys that movie)

Oh yeah and Matt I suggested this last year or the year before, but can you PLEASE consider adding Halloween by Insane clown posse? It’s a bit vulgar (but not as vulgar as their other songs, eesh) but it’s totally about Halloween. I also think the song Boogey man (I think that is what it is called) by them would fit too but that has a lot of swearing in it and you might not think everyone would approve. Just a thought

I got a Halloween book almost a month ago for my cousin she has an 11 month old and you put the babies face in the back and it’s like the baby is trying on costumes because there is a hole through the whole book where their face is with drawings of costumes. I but she’ll love it I think it’s a bit cheesy but enjoy it too.
