I wasn't sure Matt from Dinosaur Dracula was going to put together or post about a Halloween mood table this year, but I'm really glad
he did. It has become an important tradition for me, even though I have only been doing it for a few years. So last night while listening to music that I consider to be seasonal and sipping apple cider, I put my Halloween mood table together as well.
Not a lot has changed. Same scarf and table I always use. There are speakers under the table again, so I can plug in my iPod anytime and blast the aforementioned music. This was probably the most exciting improvement
last year, and it's still just as exciting.
Trick Or Treat, Chickadee.
The
werewolf figure is back weirding everyone out (or turning them on) with his tight, unbuttoned shorts.
Behind the werewolf is a half-eaten bag of Starburst candy corn. I really dislike regular candy corn, but it's such an iconic Halloween candy that I always feel like I'm missing out. This year, Starburst gave me another chance! I was afraid I still wouldn't like them, but they're not bad. But that's probably obvious from the fact that I ate half of them before October even started.
The LEGO minifigures are back, including last year's
LEGO Dinosaur Dracula.
But hold on, a new horrifying minifigure moved into Table Town. A glow
in the dark ghost! It's such a classic figure, and it's from one of my
favorite sets when I was a kid,
Black Monarch's Ghost.
One obvious new addition is the adorable paper lantern. I actually got that last year late in the Halloween season and neglected to post about it. My sister bought three of them from a dollar store, kept one, and gave the other two to our cousin and me. Lantern buddies!
My sister's is the jack-o-lantern, our cousin's is the ghost, and of course mine is Frankenstein's monster.
Another new addition is two scented candles in jars that the same cousin mentioned above gave me. They're merchandise from the very Halloweeny movie
The Nightmate Before Christmas, and each candle has different art on its label, which is very cool. The scents are Mountain Berry and Black Cherry.
