Does your obsession get worse every year?

Hey HOSGAARA, Here's my two cents worth on your costume options. I've seen a lot of Evil Pixies, and Punk/Goth Pixies, but I've never seen a Goth Raggity Anne or a Goth/Punk Ballerina, so I personally like the idea of either of the last two. Whichever you decide, be sure to post a picture of yourself for us to see afterwards ok, good luck and I'm sure you'll dazzle everyone no matter what you end up being

Zombies, Hi it's nice to meet you & welcome

Congrats on buying a new home, I can't wait to see how you decorate it for Halloween, you planning on posting pictures afterwards?

LittleDollClaudia, Nice to see you again. What a score on all those decorations! Way to go! If you're in a house or townhouse could you buy or build another room, or put a shed outside with a lock and alarm if need be?? I'm sure you'll find room, in fact I'm sure you will

I definitely think my obsession snowballs every year..

.. and so does the amount of money I spend!

LOL...

yeah I can relate to the money issue too! LOL... its all worth it though I believe..... I don't go too crazy before Halloween as I wait until after and get everything half price!!! Man I forget the stuff I bought last year becuase I do remember coming home with my bags of new treasures and packing it right away so it will be all a bit mystery on Sept 1st!!! A vicious and wickedly delightful process!!!

Mine definitely gets worse each year. Penny, I too take advantage of the after sales. Last year I picked up quite a bit and had to quickly stash it away before anyone caught on (supposed to be Christmas shopping

) I can't wait to see what I bought!

I can't remember if I answered this question before. Thinking about this now, I would say not really...it's been the same for so many years.

I have definitely spent more money on Halloween in some years previous...back in the 90's I spent nearly a hundred dollars on a PUMPKIN...yes, a single pumpkin. But it was really HUGE, the biggest darn pumpkin I'd ever seen, and I still have not seen one bigger, although I'm sure there must be. I think it weighed about 95 pounds and I could not carry it--skin was slippery--and I had to roll it into the car and out of the car.

Collections can accumulate, of course, so my little collection grows a little bit each year and now contains a few vintage Halloween items and some books on the subject.

It all depends on how much money I can afford to spend at the time ... but in my humble opinion 'Bigger is Better'!

Hey people, Yes Mine has really been getting a tad crazy the past couple of years, I mean this year already I've been shopping, but like LawP I "try" to hit all the after sales, but you know, if there's something I just adore, I'm usually to worried that it will be gone to wait to long

But I am picky about what I like so I think that helps a lot, thank goodness

And I do a Halloween Savings so that helps too.
And Well, I plan I selling a whole bunch of past home decor stuff and most of my Xmas stuff so I can have more savings for Halloween

I'm not into decorating really for xmas ,well I do a Gothic xmas tree, just a mini one, and thats about it, oh and some lights sometimes. BUt I do have tones of xmas decorations from years ago, so those will all be sold to make money for Halloween decor

Thought I'd bump this one back up to see if anyone had any comments to add to it

thanks for bringing this one back up DOD. i do believe that my obssession gets stronger every year, but hey, that's ok by me. i love halloween so much, sometimes i believe that i could just go crazy and drift off to halloween fantasyland forever.

i definately like love it more than christmas. i like christmas ok, but i don't really get presents anymore. i don't want to sound selfish, but i really like to get presents! chiristmas is really for kids, i mean i love the festivities of this time of year and shopping for my little girls gifts and seeing that look on her face on christmas morning, but i i feel like it's more for children. halloween on the other hand, i feel is more for adults.
