UK store Wilkinsons or Wilcos, which filled the void after the demise of Woolworths in the UK has put out its Halloween fare for 2015. Yes... a lot of it are childrens' costumes, make-up, sweets and tablewares as you would expect, but look and there are some welcome oddities to be had too.
Personally I like the terracotta pumpkins to light up your garden. I have plenty of these already so didn't buy any this time around. All I would say is perhaps take them inside a shed and lift them above ground level when the frosts come - it would be a shame for them to crack and break over winter. Likewise the tin metal pumpkins look great too. They come with a battery powered light inside and look a quality item compared to a lot of the plastic tat on offer by other stores.
There are also full-sized skeletons and bones on sale, and some jack o'lantern candles and a crawling hand candle that looks too good to set light to. (Just shame it is not the other way up and a 'Hand Of Glory')
And finally, if you want to create the image of a scary clown climbing out of your toilet, look no further...
