Halloween 2016 at Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree usually has tons of nifty Halloween stuff for a steal, so I try to visit at least once around early- to mid-September when they first put their Halloween stock out. This year I got lucky when I went as all their Halloween stock was out and hadn't been picked over yet!

I took some pics of what they had, check them out below:

First Look: Halloween 2016 at Target (Part 2)

I stopped into Target over the weekend and discovered that they had started stocking the main aisles with Halloween treats! I've already shared one first look at Target's Halloween section, plus their Halloween shirt selection and Dollar Spot finds, but I was ecstatic to see their main Halloween goodies hitting the shelves! I took these photos Sunday, September 11th and you'll see the shelves are still a bit sparse, but the rumor is that most Target stores have all their Halloween items out by September 15th, so keep checking back if your Target is looking a bit bare!

You can check out what Halloween items were on shelves at my local Target this past weekend below:

Halloween 2016 at Cost Plus World Market

The gang is all here!

I popped into Cost Plus World Market over the weekend to see if they had their Halloween items out yet, and luckily they had just started stocking them! I spent some time browsing around, admiring their Dia de los Muertos decorations, checking for vegan Halloween foodstuffs, and ogling all their Halloweenie decor. Check out some snaps I took of their selection below:

Halloween 2016 Shirts at Target

The women's Halloween shirts have been out for a few weeks at Target and while I already shared some HERE, I thought I'd share ALL the ones I've spotted so far. They should be out at all Target stores now, so go get some of these creepy-cute tees, tanks, and baseball shirts! Most (if not all) of the shirts pictured here are around $12.99. Happy haunting!

Halloween 2016 at Roger's Gardens

Roger's Gardens is a garden store in the Corona del Mar/Newport Beach area that builds elaborate themed Halloween displays every year, unveiling them every Labor Day weekend. Not only are their displays a visual treat, but they also offer Halloween decor, artwork, tableware, and other fancies for sale (even some of their props are for sale!).

I attended the grand opening of their 2016 Halloween "Grimm Tales" displays, which are inspired by fairy tales like Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Cinderella, and Little Red Riding Hood. You can check out pics below:

Halloween 2016 at Target's Dollar Spot

Um, I may have purchased a few things - Hocus Pocus pillow ($5), Trick or 

Treat pillow ($5), Jack-o-Lantern pillow ($5), bat garland ($3), tombstone

erasers ($1), orange pumpkin and purple bat LED lights ($3 each), Trick or

Treat and Hocus Pocus wall decals ($3 each), a bat wing headband ($1), 
and socks ($1 each)!

I ran into Target last night, and lo and behold their Dollar Spot section was brimming with Halloween steals! Target's Dollar Spot section is always a great place to pick up Halloween decor on the cheap, with prices ranging from $1 to $5 per item. They usually start stocking Halloween items in their Dollar Spot a few weeks before they put out their main Halloween products, so it's a nice treat to tide us over until they unleash their full aisles of Halloween stuff! This year, Target has a ton of fantastic Halloween items in their Dollar Spot section, and I was giddy with excitement to paw through the shelves!

Check out photos of what I found below:

Halloween 2016 at Marshalls

Orange alert!

When a friend posted her Halloween haul from Marshalls, I knew I had to pop in and have a look to see if I could score some goodies like she did! I was really hoping to find the Halloween fuzzy blankets that I've seen a few people post, but unfortunately my Marshalls didn't have those (wahhhh!). However, they did have a few aisles of Halloween stuff and picking through all that I found some fun stuff! I took pics of their selection so I could share it with you here; check out Marshalls' Halloween 2016 selection below:

First Look: Halloween 2016 at Target

 Halloween 2016 shirts at Target! 

I popped into Target to get a few things on Friday and squealed with excitement when I spotted a few Halloween items in their dollar section AND their brand new Halloween 2016 t-shirts! Sure, it's only a few Halloween things so far, but it made me so happy to see Halloween stuff at Target coming in! Check out more pics of my finds below:

Halloween 2016 at Homegoods (Part 2)

After checking out the Halloween goodies at TJ Maxx/Homegoods a few weeks ago (check out pics from my first visit HERE!), I headed back yesterday to see if they had any new items. I'm trying to not buy as much Halloween stuff this year, which is why I've kept my Halloween shopping to a minimum, however, I just couldn't stay away from Homegoods' expansive Halloween selection! And I wasn't disappointed with my second trip there - they had aisles of new products out, including lots more knick-knacks and lots of different kitchen items.

You can browse the photos I took of their selection below:

Watch Now on Netflix: The Curse of Sleeping Beauty (2016)

I happened upon The Curse of Sleeping Beauty by chance while browsing Netflix the other night, and while it didn't look too promising I decided to give it a try. While it is more dark fantasy than horror, I found myself enjoying this one for its beautiful visuals and decaying yet fascinating mansion.

Synopsis: A man inherits an ancestral mansion and an ancient curse stemming back to the Crusades. As he battles to keep demons in the house at bay, he tries to awaken the beautiful Briar Rose to rescue her from a terrifying netherworld.
