A wonderful assortment of odd Halloween gear @ Target
October is my favorite month of the year. Not only because it’s my birthday month, but it’s also chocked full of holiday goodness, including Halloween, which is the best time of year to stock up on cheap candy and kitsh. In Target today, the place was absolutely overrun with Halloween junk. I snapped some quick spy shots of my favorites from my iPhone.
Food and Drink
These eyeballs look great, and are sure to scare the shit out of unsuspecting mothers everywhere. Equally creepy, and pictured to the right, are the candy finger suckers, which are strange, and have a wonderfully discomforting fleshtone no lollipop should have.
(Read on for more, there’s much to be seen.)
I’ve never been a big fan of Jones, particularly because I started drinking it in college at our partially subsidized local eatery. There’s just something off about it, and despite the cool user-generated packaging, I find myself steering clear of its strange flavors and curious 4-packs that I think only Chimay and 18 oz. beer cans should come in.
Children’s Costumes
Okay, first off, what the fuck is this? Secondly, how creepy does it look on this kid? I don’t even know what gender this child is, or if that’s really its face or real appendages. Also worth noting is how the hands are two different skin colors and that the overalls appear to be made out of flesh.
I have no comments about these Yoda costumes, besides the fact they decided to throw a really mad looking Darth Vader on there just for the hell of it. I’m also pissed they didn’t have this when I was a toddler, because I think I’d wear it for more than just Halloween. Like the other 364days of the year.
This is really the piece de la resistance of the entire bunch. This apparently fits somewhere between the “I’m a patriot” and “The Disney Channel told me what rainbow parties are.” I don’t know what’s more disgusting, the fishnet undershirt, or the bikini tie off near the top. You don’t even want to see the “Afghanistan Diva” which was further down the aisle.*
