    I like the semi lit up pumpkin even if you can't fix it. Looks like something you could make if you found the right material.

    • @HappyHaunting
      @HappyHaunting  Před 7 lety

      +cyberi4a I almost think it looks better unlit. It's very reflective!

    You know that I love the babies in the pumpkin 🎃👶👶🎃 I sent you another message on Instagram. I have bought lots office things for Halloween at thrift stores, I can always find something for Fall but most of the thrift stores I go to only put out Halloween when stores do but they always have a Christmas section-my fave thrift store does anyway. People are always amazed at the cool stuff I find for so cheap.

    the thrift shops here finally are putting out all Halloween- one had tons of costumes, they had 2 early 90's trendmasters pumpkins i picked up the other day- i can't wait till they all have it out and yes you're right you hvae to dedicate alot of time to go to these places to get good finds

      +FordFalcon1962nBlue I get so used to hitting the Goodwills - they always put it out year round - that I neglect the general thrift stores. But now I'm going to go check them out!

    The jars look really awesome, but the one thing that worries me about them is that they're the kind of glass that might shatter into dust if poked the wrong way ( and having broken many glasses in my life....that is the worst kind of shatter.)

    Is it possible to light up the blow molds without electricity. I'm only asking because I don't know how well a power strip will handle a whole row of them.

    • @HappyHaunting

      Excellent question in don’t know the answer to... off hand I think you could wedge a battery powered flashlight in the back

      @@HappyHaunting Yep, I'm trying to beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Ultra Moon by leveling up my team, but it's very time consuming so I figured I'd have a marathon of your Halloween Haul videos in the process. CZcams is selecting the order for me so it's funny how the videos are jumping back and forth between 2017 and 2018.

  • @donnaduck7272
    @donnaduck7272 Před 6 lety +1

    That tag looks like it came from the thrift store Savers. If so it's my favorite thrift store but unfortunately the one by me closed. If so that is why the Halloween decorations are out all the time. Other thrift store's should do the same.

  • @emilycarnes3162
    @emilycarnes3162 Před 7 lety +1

    I have quite the collection from the thrift store for all holidays. I was curious to see if eBay had your cat and jack-o'-lantern lamp listed. Someone does and it's going for almost $40! I really like the witch I think she is a nice peace. Oh my gosh those babies in the Jack O'Lantern pumpkin thing are pretty weird. Very creepy for Halloween. Do you think you'll reuse your Apothecary jars after Halloween for something else? I have never seen those chords at the Dollar Tree. I have a village for almost every holiday except for New Year's and St Patrick's Day. Those cords burn out so fast . faster than the light bulb. I guess it's the rotating switch that brakes.

    • @HappyHaunting
      @HappyHaunting  Před 7 lety +2

      +Emily Carnes $40 for the cat, eh? Nice! But I won't sell it because it has that sort of charm the vintage items have that's so lacking in modern products. I'll probably repurpose the apothecary jars for Christmas by filling them with pine cones or ornaments. Then they'll go in storage til next year. I found a new home for the pumpkin babies already! Someone was very excited about it on Instagram, so I offered to send it to her. I really did just buy it for the video. Haha.

  • @BewitchCraft
    @BewitchCraft Před 7 lety

    Interesting haul, I love seeing the things you find. A few notes: The pumpkin babies are terrifying and yet I kind of love them too. I love the witch and the black cat, awesome jar find. $11 seems expensive for goodwill but then again they probably retailed for like $30+ they're pretty big and I LOVE the ghouls you're putting inside, they look awesome! It's a shame the giant pumpkin doesn't fully light up, but it would still make a neat visual decoration with the sun catching it in the daytime. :)

    • @HappyHaunting
      @HappyHaunting  Před 7 lety

      +CosmicGrove I agree about the light up pumpkin. I bought him mostly because he was there. I kind of think if I do put him somewhere, he doesn't need to light up...

    • @BewitchCraft
      @BewitchCraft Před 7 lety

      You could always put a little spotlight or one of those color changing ones on him too. That reflective surface is workable! :)

    • @HappyHaunting
      @HappyHaunting  Před 7 lety

      +CosmicGrove good idea! I have a whole bunch of those fire and ice lights I got on clearance last year. ($2/each!)

  • @JasonLeeIsAGod
    @JasonLeeIsAGod Před 7 lety +1

    I think the fugly naked babies in the pumpkin is my fave! I can totally relate to buying things because they're just the ugliest thing ever. I feel like if it's something that's just so ridonkulously ugly no one else will buy it I am practically compelled to buy it. I feel like if I don't buy it & give it a good home it would end up in a landfill it's so ugly!!

    • @HappyHaunting
      @HappyHaunting  Před 7 lety

      +Chase The Face That's good to know. What is the point of the corn starch? Is that to keep it from drying out?

    • @chase5682
      @chase5682 Před 7 lety +1

      I think it's supposed to keep the latex or rubber from sticking together. When you blow it up and moisture gets inside the cornstarch absorbs the moisture.

      @@HappyHaunting You're talking to someone who turned an ordinary Pepsi display and turned it into a Halloween display using Halloween garland on the sides, spider webs to decorate the shelves, and put the Reese's candy boxes on each shelf. Then, I made Snickers treat boxes using the plastic Valentine's Day boxes that looked like Chinese takeout containers, put in some foam hearts and plastic rose petals, and put one of every flavor Snickers bar we had as a Valentine's Day suggestion treat for our Snickers contest. Most recently, for our Eatz cookie contest in July, I made cookie bags with bags with hearts all over and plain blue bags. I printed out the tags online and the heart bags I wrote Eatz to Your Heart's Content and the blue bags had Eatz Will Melt Your Blues Away.

    HI MICHAEL, WHEN YOU PLACED YOUR LARGE GUMBALL MACHINE ON THE TABLE, IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD A PUMPKIN FACE FROM THE LIGHT UP PUMPKIN THAT WAS BEHIND IT. YOU COULD CUT OUT BLACK TAPE AND MAKE A PUMPKIN FACE ON THE GLOBE. FILL THE MACHINE WITH EYEBALLS AND ONE BLODDY RED EYEBALL. PUT IT OUT AT YOUR PARTY AND WHOEVER GETS THE BLODDY EYEBALL, WINS THE WHOOPIE CUSHIONS. 🎃🎃🎃
