With the announcement of their name Halloween decor for 2017, Target appears to have finally moved away from the glitter and glam phase that dominated their seasonal shelves for at least the past 3 Halloweens. This year their decorations look to be more traditional and scary. While I’m a girly girl at heart and I do enjoy my fair share of glitter, Halloween is neither the time nor the place for the glitz and glam of fuchsia pinks, neon purples, lime greens, and napalm orange. From their currently released sneak peek of this season’s Halloween decor it appears the store where you ‘Expect More. Pay Less.’ has returned Halloween to its rightful nitty gritty roots of skeletons, ghosts, and eyeballs with a few vintage pieces mixed in for the old school at heart.

For most of Target’s consumers Halloween comes once a year and as soon as the calendar changes to November 1st the decorations get packed up and stored in the attic until next year’s witching hour. However, there are a select group of us that see this time of year as something more; it’s the time to update our year round home decor! Take a look at these pieces you can entertain your guests with year round! Plates, serving trays, and wine glasses, oh my! Plus, the great thing about Target’s Halloween selection is most of the items are extremely well made and durable to last you year round! For instance, these spooktacular wine glasses are actually glass!

For those of you with a more whimsical taste in the macabre, Target has the answer to what you’re looking for. With a bony fortune teller, a creepy doorbell, and an old school movie projector that lights up with sound you can decorate the interior of your home with items to give it that vintage 1920’s freak show appeal.

If you’re more of a traditionalist Target has you covered. With decorations playing off of the age old classic look of black and orange with designs that reminiscence back to your childhood you can decorate your home with the less scary but more fun aspects of the holiday you grew up loving as a kid. With friendly black cats, smiling jack o lanterns, and happy cloth specters your family has no reason to fear their dwelling this holiday season.

Lastly Target has brought you the skeleton pet of your dreams! Ranging from dogs to cats and even a skeletal snake Target has your new boney buddy waiting for you! Or collect them all and create your own pet cemetery!

It’s been three long years since Netflix unleashed the bloody, but enjoyable Fear Street on its platform. Released in a tryptic fashion, the streamer broke up the story into three episodes, each taking place in a different decade which by the finale were all tied together.

Now, the streamer is in production for its sequel Fear Street: Prom Queen which brings the story into the 80s. Netflix gives a synopsis of what to expect from Prom Queen on their blog site Tudum:

“Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”

Based on R.L. Stine’s massive series of Fear Street novels and spin-offs, this chapter is number 15 in the series and was published in 1992.

The ghosthunting Great Dane with an anxiety problem, Scooby-Doo, is getting a reboot and Netflix is picking up the tab. Variety is reporting that the iconic show is becoming an hour-long series for the streamer although no details have been confirmed. In fact, Netflix execs declined to comment.

If the project is a go, this would be the first live-action movie based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon since 2018’s Daphne & Velma. Before that, there were two theatrical live-action movies, Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), then two sequels that premiered on The Cartoon Network.

Currently, the adult-oriented Velma is streaming on Max.

Scooby-Doo originated in 1969 under the creative team Hanna-Barbera. The cartoon follows a group of teenagers who investigate supernatural happenings. Known as Mystery Inc., the crew consists of Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and his best friend, a talking dog named Scooby-Doo.

Normally the episodes revealed the hauntings they encountered were hoaxes developed by land-owners or other nefarious characters hoping to scare people away from their properties. The original TV series named Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ran from 1969 to 1986. It was so successful that movie stars and pop culture icons would make guest appearances as themselves in the series.

Celebrities such as Sonny & Cher, KISS, Don Knotts, and The Harlem Globetrotters made cameos as did Vincent Price who portrayed Vincent Van Ghoul in a few episodes.
