Halloween Decorations at Big Lots

Today was a special day. Big Lots has starting putting out their Halloween decorations. Shop early this year, because they have some cool stuff. I picked up several “creepy cloths” that are giants sheets of ripped fishnet material - good for costumes as well has hanging from the ceiling or draping on things. Also scored: skull candelabras and a huge, gaping skull mouth candy dish that is well, so creepy.

Happy haunting hunting!
