Also, does anyone else have a spouse who starts putting up Halloween decorations on Labor Day weekend? I think Mrs Daddio has a problem if not...

I've actually got a Halloween hand towel hanging up in the kitchen right now!

But only because my skeleton towels are just in the regular rotation of kitchen towels. We're not very particular. :shrug:

September 1 is my official Halloween decorating day (my most favorite of holidays).

Also this means we are closer to the yearly tradition that is the Nightmare Fear Factory thread.

I applied to work at a Spirit Halloween that opens in an old abandoned Staples every year. ‘Anybody ever work at one of those?

E: what's the extent of your decorations? I moved apartments a lot, so my decorations are admittedly a bit meager, but I like putting them up early.

this place is not a place of honor

no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here

nothing valued is here

what is here was dangerous and repulsive to us

this place is best shunned and left uninhabited

Halloween should be decorated, at the earliest, on October 1st. even that's pushing it imo

Ok so hear me out. I love Halloween as much as the next person that loves Halloween, but the atmosphere has to be right. It has to be fall, ya know? It's gotta be hoodie weather, not coat weather, not tank top weather. This is important. I understand that it is geocentric or whatever, but I don't care

Yep. It was easy as hell. Granted this was about ten years ago, but I can't imagine it's changed much. Some of the decorations screaming and playing music might get old though.

Wish I had seen this thread sooner, when I went good shopping I saw two chocolate Santas and some Easter eggs in the food donation bins for the homeless.

Wish I had taken a picture, those Santas had to be at least a year old.

Oh I cover the downstairs completely. Wreaths inside and out on the front doors, cauldron candles, cauldron that makes fog for by the fireplace. Candles everywhere. Skulls as centerpieces and in those canister things I can’t remember the name of. Bring out my Halloween dishes and cups. Basically anything in the family room and kitchen gets a makeover.

Obviously pumpkins on the porch. I change out the doormat.

On Halloween itself I’ll have luminaries with tea light flameless candles lining our driveway.

I’d start decorating earlier but my husband and I agreed on September 1.

There is more but that’s off the top of my head.

Oh! Fabric pumpkins and assorted Knick knacks.

I’m a touch obsessed.

drat, you make my Halloween decorating sound like crap, lol.

My current extent is basically just stuff I've bought at Target over the years. Some of those fabrics birds, a couple little figurines that light up and play music, a few tea light holders, some string lights. I still have a couple of plastic tumblers my mother got for me like, a decade ago.

I start putting stuff up one at a time in various locations to see how long it takes someone to notice.

Once I finally stop living in apartments, nothing will stop me!

The grocery stores I would shop at were bullshit for Halloween. They would put out all the decorations and candy in September, but by mid October it would all be gone and replaced with Christmas stuff.
