Here’s the true story behind why I stopped putting-out my
spider themed Halloween display and stopped wearing spider jewelry for
Halloween:
I caught a febrile case of arachnophobia a few springs ago while
weeding a rosebush only to be stopped cold by the venom yellow eyes of a spider
staring me down. I immediately stopped
weeding.
And I didn’t garden anymore that year because I was scared
to death that I might have a run-in with the yellow-eyed spider.
I Got Sasquatch (Earrings) For Halloween
That’s when I started setting-up my Bigfoot Sasquatch Halloween
display. Mind you I started my Bigfoot Halloween theme display long before the
TV show “Finding Bigfoot” was broadcast.
I admit my Bigfoot display is just half-ass…I only have a
couple of signs and sound effects.
Oddly, the sound effects don’t scare little kids but the accompanying
adults seem genuinely terrified.
I do wear my Bigfoot earrings, however: Whimsical Taxco
Mexican Silver big feet with green malachite inlay (vintage screwbacks). Unfortunately, I paid too much for them. But I had to satiate my Sasquatch obsession.
I wouldn’t recommend doing that.
Collectible Fright Night Jewelry
Of course, if you COLLECT whimsically themed scary jewelry then price might not be the only factor you consider: Collectability, of course, is the primary factor.
Otherwise junk jewelry is probably the best option for
Fright Night. You probably already know the Halloween jewelry standards:
- Light-up jewelry is very effectively dramatic
- Skulls, other bones or skeletons
- Gothic and vampire “dark” jewelry
- Realistic whimsical Insect jewelry… rings are especially creepy
- Big, oversized styles to catch the kids’ eyes, like crowns
Best Place To Find EERIE Jewelry
Plastic Halloween themed jewelry from the corner drugstore will do just fine and save big bucks for a once yearly event. It's a cheap fix. The costume jewelry at Halloween stores costs way more than treasure at drugstores.
Come on! How much money
do you really want to spend on Halloween jewelry to scare a bunch of little kids?
