Are you one of those people who always intend to do a bunch of Halloween decorating, and yet life just gets in the way and you’re lucky if you remember to sticky-tack up those card-paper generic vampire and skeleton heads you bought at iParty because they reminded you of the ones your parents bought in the ’80s?
I know I am!
That’s why I loved this idea from Dinosaur Dracula: the Halloween Mood Table! (He actually had the idea last year as well, but I missed it.) It’s simple: just take a small table or other flat object and pile all sorts of Halloween or horror-related goodies on it and presto! Instant mood-setter for the house!
This form of decorating is perfect for two particular categories of humanity that I represent: specifically, those known as “action figure collectors” and “lazy.”
Anyway, here’s my mood table for 2013:
mega ultimate success, po
love your table and the idea!
I love Prime Evil! Great job!
…my Halloween "decorations" never get put away. So I'm pretty much always ready for Halloween.
Nice Forbidden.
I'm determined to actually have some Halloween fun this year, but I have not set up anything yet. Here's last year's display http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb4/PresidentJ…
What is that Hellboy Squarepants there? Love it!
I do this with my mantle, but it's all LEGO. This year includes Borgin & Burkes, Hagrid's Hut, Arkham Asylum and Rivendell with changing leaves… all overrun with Daleks and zombies!
That's awesome!
My entire Lego display is a giant haunted town! I love the idea of using the Daleks, though.
Love it!
My wife and I do this every year but for Christmas, we set up a table with a nativity scene with a different nerdy fun theme each year. This year it's going to be Star Wars; last year it was Mazinger Z themed.
Love Prime Evil.
Whoa…. where's Scareglow?
I have always felt like I should be more into Halloween than I am, but I almost never even dress up, let alone decorate. If I didn't have a kid, I'd turn out the lights so kids would assume no one was home.
I love Halloween in theory. In reality, it does nothing much for me.
I've been working on a Halloween mood table/shelf for the past couple weeks, but the aformentioned laziness has hindered my progress.
