I. Love. Michaels. Every year, I look forward to their Halloween merchandise, and I’m happy to say that I wasn’t disappointed this time.
Unfortunately for me, my town doesn’t have a Michaels, so I have to settle on going to the one near my parents. Fortunately for you, I was due for a visit this past weekend, so I was able to go look at all of their wonderful, creepy goodies.
First of all, let’s talk about Spooky Town. I love miniatures, so of course I’m going to love a little town of mini creepy houses and creatures.
They had some really cute new miniatures, including my two favorites:
Ain’t they adorable?
As always, Michaels has a great mixture of creepy props, fun decorations, and craft supplies. They’re definitely my favorite of the craft stores when it comes to Halloween.
This guy right here will be mine at the end of the season. I should have used a banana for scale, but I didn’t think about it at the time, but he’s pretty big. He’d look great next to a witch’s cauldron.
This animated prop was pretty awesome, too. A tad overpriced in my opinion at $69.99, but still cool. Again, I screwed up, this time by not getting a video of the guy in action, but he basically just moves back and forth with his hands while shouting profanity and racial slurs.
Just kidding. I wanted to make sure you were paying attention. He moves around and groans. No offensive language for Michaels.
And I don’t know what it is about these ceramic heads, but I freaking adore them. They have skulls, Frankenstein’s monster, jack o’lanterns, mini skulls, and skeleton hands. You can paint these to fit your decor, or just leave them as is and pair with anything you want.
I would totally recommend going to Michaels if you’re lucky enough to have one in your area. The items aren’t overpriced, and if you’re a cheapo like me, you can always use a coupon or just catch them on sale.
