So far we've seen Halloween goodies at Cracker Barrel, Costco, Dollar Tree, Michaels, Big Lots, Walmart, Shopko. We've also spotted pumpkin beer at Discount Liquor and Woodman's. Have you spotted any Halloween goodies yet? Do you think it's too early or have you gotten used to seeing holiday items out months before the holiday? Michaels Big...
It's that time of year again! Get in the Halloween spirit this Saturday at Yankee Candle. Stop in for treats, fall scents, Halloween decor and 17 new Boney Bunch items.

Heck pumpkin beer is already starting to creep into stores along with some Halloween decorations and props.

The updated HauntedWisconsin.com site is...
Those who suffer from friggatriskaidekaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th) may want to stay home this Friday as a rare occurrence takes place. Not only is it the first and only Friday the 13th of 2014, but it coincides with a full moon. The next occurrence of a Friday the 13th with a full moon won’t happen for another 35 years!

I love listening to my Halloween playlist while working on the site. My playlist tends to be a bit more "classic" with just about all of the songs being from the 1980's or earlier and include songs like "Monster Mash", "Don't Fear the Reaper", "Thriller" and "Headless Horseman." What songs are on your Halloween playlist? Do you like the classics or do you prefer something newer or heavier? Here's my Classic Halloween Playlist on Spotify.
One of my favorite Halloween cartoons, "It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", will be airing on ABC Halloween night, Thursday, October 31 at 7pm CT followed by “You’re Not Elected, Charlie Brown".

As a kid, I knew once the state fair was over, school wasn't far behind. This is still true today but instead of school my focus is on Halloween. While it may seem early, some stores have already stocked their shelves with Halloween decor and candy. And don't be too surprised if you see a Christmas tree or snowman as they've been spotted as well. Talk about early!

Updated: 7/28/2013 Independence Day has come and gone which means it's time to start preapring for fall. Yes, I know summer only started a couple of weeks ago, but as most of us know, stores like to get ahead of the seasons. So, if you’re finally getting around to looking for patio furniture, you better move fast! Target has already started clearing out their summer merchandise in order to move back to school items in, which of course means Halloween goodies aren’t far behind!If you’re like me and love seeing fall and Halloween items popping up in stores early in the...

If you like the taste of pumpkin, you should stop into your nearest Einstein Bros Bagels and try out their selection of pumpkin goodies! Items include; Frozen Pumpkin Latte, Pumpkin Latte, Pumpkin Muffin, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Poppers, Pumpkin Walnut Crunch Bagel and Pumpkin Schmear. I had the Pumpkin Walnut Crunch Bagel and shmear today. The crunch topping tasted like it was burned, but other than that it was delicious!
Several 2012 Halloween magazines are now on store shelves! You know the season's getting closer when you see these. Hopefully Martha Stewart's Halloween magazine will be packed with all new articles unlike last year.
While out at Menards today, Andy and I spotted three and half isles of Halloween goodies! Apparently most of it's been out for about a week or so already, and while it may seem early to some, it's never too early for us! Plus, within just a few weeks they'll be bringing out their Christmas items, so buy early!!
Caribou Coffee is getting a head start on and will be serving their pumpkin drinks this Friday. According to their Facebook page, they've improved their recipe, which means I'll be there this Friday to try it out. So far no word on when Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts' or Dunn Brothers will start serving their pumpkin drinks, but hopefully it will be within the next couple of weeks.
Two more Halloween cartoons will on this October! Local Milwaukee antenna station 49.2 WBMEDT2 will be showing Fat Albert's Halloween Special today at 5:30pm and tomorrow (Halloween) from 7-9pm. And ABC will be showing Scared Shrekless on Halloween at 7pm. Rudy and his new friend Devery plan to spend Halloween playing practical jokes on the elderly. They both take aim on Mrs. Bakewell, an old widow living in a spooky house by the graveyard. But the kids get the ultimate scare when two of them don't return from "trick or treating!" Did Mrs. Bakewell have something to do with their...
Village of TerrorAttended on Saturday, October 8 This was my first time attending the Village of Terror and I can say I will definitely return! I’ve never attended such a unique event/haunt before and wish we would have spent the entire night here as we didn’t get to see everything they had. The Village of Terror consists of several haunts, magic shows, shops and other entertainment. Throughout the grounds we saw zombies and vampires roaming about. Unfortunately, we only had time to go through three of their haunted attractions. If I remember correctly, I believe the first one was the...
Dreadwood Haunted ForestAttended on Friday, October 7Dreadwood is located in the middle of nowhere. At least that’s what it feels like to someone who doesn’t know the area at all. We found the entrance easily as there was a red light that shone onto the trees. They also have some signs that show you were to go nearby. We pulled in and weren’t too sure where to go. There was no one or any signs pointing out where to go. We decided to travel the narrow dirt road behind the barn. There were only two or three signs along the...
Haunted HighAttended on Saturday, October 1st We arrived near closing time and at the beginning of the season so we didn’t we have to wait in line long. Haunted High takes place in an actual abandoned high school. Their ticket area is located in the gym and is furnished with teacher’s desks skull lamps. The waiting line is also in the gym located behind a divider curtain. They show movie clips on two walls, so waiting in line doesn’t seem to take as long. There are also concessions that are available to purchase before you get into line. Once it...
The Dark SideAttended on Saturday, October 1st One of the things I like about The Dark Side is how they combine three haunts into one. This year we received a plastic token with The Dark Side name printed on it when we purchased tickets. I was hoping this was something we’d be able to keep, but were told we would need to hand them to the ticket taker before we entered the haunt. Bummer. You can also purchase concessions, Halloween décor and various Dark Side apparel including hoodies and hats in the same building the ticket booth is located in....
Must see Halloween TV - It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown will be on ABC tomorrow night, Thursday, October 27 at 7pm (CST).
The Haunted BarnAttended on Saturday, September 24 I've attended The Haunted Barn in the past and I'm always impressed at how much they improve every year. Last year they added Beetlejuice as a character. He provides some great comic relief, and while he may not seem scary, he does a great job at surprise scares! As I got out of the car I saw some people running toward the parking lot screaming and Beetlejuice wasn't far behind them. What a great way to start off the haunt season! This year, two other characters stood out as well. They were a...
Today Caribou Coffee announced their fall items are now available including; Pumpkin Latte's, Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin White Chocolate Mocha and Caramel Apple Crisp Oatmeal.

Have you tried any of these items? Let us know what you think below!
In late August, Starbucks held a contest on Facebook to pick which city would enjoy Pumpkin Spice Latte's a week early. Unfortunately, our neighbors to the south, Chicago, won this contest and have been enjoying their Pumpkin Spice Latte's for a week. However, now that the cold weather has arrived, we finally get to savor in the delicious taste of fall! Starting today, everyone can enjoy yummy pumpkin treats at Starbucks, Culver's and Dunkin' Donuts. Culver's is now serving their Pumpkin Pecan Concrete Mixer, Pumpkin Cheesecake Concrete Mixer and their very yummy Pumpkin Spice Shake. The Dunkin' Donuts full fall...
I checked out our Walgreens the other day to see if any Halloween merchandise yet. Currently the have half an isle stocked with Halloween candy and a few Disney characters in Halloween costumes on the top shelf. I absolutely love when candy companies do more than just print a Halloween design on a large bag of regular wrapped candy, but actually do something fun with the candy itself. I spotted some Kit Kats with a ghost, pumpkin and pirate on the wrapper which said 1 of 4 Spooky bar designs, so of course I bought a couple. I've only opened...
Andy and I stopped out at the Waukesha Menards yesterday and found two and half isles of Halloween merchandise! They have all sorts of Halloween goodies including a selection of nicely priced costumes, Lemax Spooky Town items and a huge $99 Funkin!

Sure, the temps this weekend may be in the 90's, but it's time to start thinking about fall. The 4th of July holiday is over, school supplies are filling store shelves, and "end of summer" sales are taking place (even though technically summer started less than a month ago). Yankee Candle has come out with their new fall fragrances, which include Kitchen Spice and Pumpkin Buttercream (yum!) among others.

We finally got to get out to some haunts this season! The staff of HauntedWisconsin.com along with our Biggest Fan contest winner and guest headed out for a night of haunting. Our first stop was Paulo's Pizza where we shared an enormous pizza and a huge bowl of garlic bread. We then headed to Monster Mayhem, right in the basement of Paulo's Pizza! We met with the friendly staff and got a quick behind the scenes tour. They really put a lot of work into their haunt and it shows! This is only the second year of Monster Mayhem, but...
Okay, it's time for a rant. What is wrong with some communities in Wisconsin (and elsewhere)? Do they not know when Halloween is? It's on the calendar! October 31st, always. Even so, some communities have decided that having trick-or-treat is safer on a Sunday before Halloween. This year Halloween falls on a Saturday. So I thought, great! Trick-or-treat will finally be held on Halloween everywhere, right? WRONG! There are still some communities that have decided to hold trick-or-treat the Sunday before the 31st. I think this takes all of the fun out of Halloween. Once trick-or-treating is over, many kids...

It's that time of year! Over the past week, I received two email ad's from Grandin Road and The Lakeside Collection letting me know that Halloween merchandise was now available on their websites. Grandin Road is the pricier of the two, but has a nice selection and some decorations I haven't seen elsewhere. They also carry Martha Stewart's Halloween line. It seems that sparkle and bling is in for Halloween this year. The Lakeside Collection only has a few Halloween items, but they do have a very spooky standing ghoul that's over 5ft tall and is only $19.95! They also have...
October is only three months away, so now is the time to start getting ready for Halloween. No, it's not too early! According to employees at several local Michaels craft stores, shipments of Halloween merchandise will begin arriving tomorrow, Thursday, July 2nd!

On Friday, October 10th Andy, Dan, Sarah and I headed north and went to the following haunts:Dominion of TerrorThe House of BathoryNightmare on MainSplatter HausOur first stop was the Sheboygan Jaycees Dominion of Terror. This was our second year visiting and we looked forward to seeing what was new. Everything! The sets this year were amazing! My favorites included the city scenes, butcher shop and of course movie theater. Kudos to the butcher! The clown near the end was super creepy and still haunts me. The last scene seemed to lack a bit as we were expecting something more to happen, but overall, you could see...
I've been meaning to write a follow-up to the haunts Andy, Dan and I have traveled to so far this season and will do my best now. My memory has never been that great, so I apologize if I don’t mention any important pieces.Our first outing consisted of Johnny's wife, Johnny, his friend, Sarah, Andy, me and Dan.On Friday, October 3rd we visited:Wisconsin FeargroundsMonster MayhemMars Haunted HouseThe first stop was the Wisconsin Feargrounds.

Andy, Dan and I will be checking out haunts again this Friday. We'll also be dragging Johnny along again if he's not stuck working on Saturday morning. This week we'll be visiting some of the haunts along I-43 including the Sheboygan Jaycees: Dominion of Terror, The House of Bathory, Splatter Haus and Nightmare on Main. Last year was the first year I had been to the Dominion of Terror. They did a great job, especially during the heat we had that first weekend. Splatter Haus also did a great job as always and I can't wait to see what they've...

The jack-o-lantern doughnuts will be available through the end of October and the pumpkin spice cake will be available through the end of November.Check out their web site to see their Halloween commercial!
Kevin Hash is an inspiring young lad at 13 years of age. He went before the Appleton common council and requested that trick-or-treat be held until 8pm instead of the original 7pm to accommodate changes in family lifestyles and daylight savings time. I hope more communities take this into account as well and extend their trick-or-treat times until 8pm when holding Halloween on a weekday. Most households now have both parents working and by the time they get home, feed the kids, get their costumes/make-up on, trick-or-treat is almost over. Let kids have this opportunity to be kids, get dressed...

I'll admit it. I don't go to the mall very often. I was never really into the whole mall thing. Maybe it's cause I'd end up buying everything I wanted and would be in massive credit card debt (or because everything is too pricey for my cheap taste).Well anyway, I got an email from Bath & Body Works which announced their new Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin scent. YUM! (I gotta get me some of that!). Well there was also a link to their new Halloween shop. I never thought Bath & Body Works would have Halloween items! So now of course, that...

I love watching the many horror movies on AMC as well as TCM (see other post), so after I saw the TCM schedule I checked out the AMC site for their Monsterfest schedule. Their general TV listing schedule doesn't go to far into October yet, so I did a search. I came across news that they changed the name from MONSTERFEST to FEARFEST and shortened the number of days it's on. Fearfest will run from Friday, October 24 through Halloween night.

I love coffee. Especially pumpkin flavored coffee. So, I was very happy this morning when I checked my email and saw that I had received a coupon from Caribou Coffee announcing that I could get $1.00 off... Any Size New Fall Beverage including our Pumpkin Cooler and Wild Pumpkin. Pumpkin Cooler - A creamy blend of pumpkin, spice and coffee makes for a surprisingly refreshing cooler. Wild Pumpkin - A masterful mix of pumpkin, spice, white chocolate, espresso and cream that's like pumpkin pie right out of the oven.YUM!!! I cannot wait to go to Caribou today to try these...
Good news for those of us who shopped at the Bartz's in Brookfield. While at the Westbrook Shopping Center (E. Mooreland & Springdale Rd.) Andy and I spotted what looked like the Bartz's logo. We checked it out and saw signs in their windows saying they would be opening soon. They'll be in the old (Joanne?) fabrics store where Halloween Express was located e a couple years ago. We peaked in the window and saw some Halloween decorations set up.To help build our excitment for the upcoming season, we had a tradition of going to the Bartz's in Brookfield a couple weeks after...
Unfortunately, Bartz's closed their Brookfield location this year, so anyone who used to frequent that store (like Andy & I) will now have to travel to Greenfield, Menomonee Falls or Wauwatosa... or just find another party/Halloween store to check out. Since the Brookfield location always seemed to have some stuff out right after the 4th of July, I did some calling to find out when their Halloween merchandise will be out. It sounds like it will be at least a couple of more weeks till some items are out. However, costumes are always in stock. :P
According to the Brown Deer and Brookfield Michaels stores, Halloween merchandise should begin arriving THIS THURSDAY (July 3rd)! Johnny has already seen some Halloween goodies at the Michaels in West Allis!! Check out his blog for more updates.
