Well it seems that locally Asda have been the first of the major supermarkets to put out their Halloween decorations. There was the usual fare of child friendly decorations, costumes and partyware - nothing that I felt particularly tempted to buy... however for anyone without a loft full of decorations there is plenty here that is reasonably priced to put on a good party.
Of more interest are the odd items, usually slightly more expensive and often with motion sensors in them. This year there was the antique design phone that rings when approached
Similarly a bust of a shrouded zombie head that animates and it's eye glows red.
A candy bowl with a rubber hand that reaches forward if you attempt to put your hand in the bowl.
And my favourite, the doorbell which when pressed causes a glowing eyeball above to open and survey the visitors.
There were also some nice ceramic back skulls too.
