I can see why James would make an episode about today’s “convenient” Halloween decorations, considering he has a history of putting together practical, elaborately-designed haunted houses.
I'm sure there's a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man inflatable decoration somewhere, that's one of the few that actually makes sense to be like that. If there isn't one, then there really needs to be someday!
The "merry christmas" at the end made sense. If I had a dollar for everytime I saw Christmas decorations in September.. I'd only have 2 dollars, but its 2 more than I should have!
If I had a dollar for every time I've seen Christmas decorations before December, considering I've seen out of season decorations at least 15 times per year until this year which I've only seen 5 times thus far, I would have $245.
That conclusion really spoke to me. It just seems like more of an issue with modern society. It's never about the experience anymore, just "GO GO GO, we ain't got time for bonding activities."

@@reillymcwriting Helloween is once in the year, you can spend a little bit more for nice looking animatronics. Or buy used ones, like those from Fredy Pizza.
Actually worked at Spirit Halloween and they have some truly impressive decorations, both indoor and outdoor. Though I also miss some of the simpler decorations, like plastic pumpkins you'd fill with newspaper and hang on trees, or taking a costume, filling it up and putting it in a chair outside your door. Still, an anamatronic Werewolf Rug is pretty badass.
I found you can put together a standing body pretty fast with some PVC pipe and chicken wire to fill out the chest, with two pieces of rebar pounded into the yard to slip the pipe over to hold it up. I slapped together a Frankenstein Monster in one afternoon, and am picking up more pieces for a Phantom of the Opera (wearing my tuxedo, that one's staying inside).
some of those at spirit stores are nuts. I think there was one with an alien in a pod and the ones with stepping pads that make movements are creepy too
I'm actually pretty lucky. My whole neighborhood is super into decorations. But there's still this ONE house who puts a million inflatables outside. Meaning going by their house always results in hearing this nightmarish "WHIRRRRRR" sound...
Next town over: Guy has a life-sized skelton family on his lawn. After Halloween, they all get Pilgrim hats. After Thanksgiving, they all get Santa hats.
The only inflatable lawn decoration I've ever wanted was an 8 foot tall Stay Puft Marshmallow Man I saw in a Halloween Headquarters a few years ago, but even then that's only because being Stay Puft's soft, squishy marshmallow body actually works with the concept of an inflatable decoration.
You should be apologizing for putting up Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over >:( Home Depot is like a vile, pernicious widow that marries a new man before her husband's body has grown cold in its grave.
We went all out with our decorations this year. Completely turned our flowerbed into a fenced-in graveyard and then some. Not a single inflatable to be found.
I always get two large pumpkins every year to carve with my daughter. We've been doing this for about 4 years now, she's 7. I also collect all the seeds & make roasted garlic pumpkin seeds! We love 'em! 😋
I worked at one of the above Home Improvement stores the past couple of Halloweens and when we closed for the night, the power to that area got unplugged and they all deflated in unison. It was great.
I also work at a Home Depot and I do electrical work and I can confirm that all the outlets at the front of the store usually where the seasonal displays are or connected to a bunch of timers back in receiving that usually turn off when we close and turn on at 6 am
One of the funniest Christmas decorations I've ever seen was like those crashed witches. It was a custom one. Santa's sleigh crashed into a bigass snowbank, Santa's legs were sticking out of another snowbank and the reindeer were buried up to their antlers.
My mom LOVES these inflatable Halloween lawn decorations. But she HATES them during Christmas. She likes them better on Halloween cuz she's a fan of the "Fun" Halloween. I kinda am too, in a sense that it reminds me a lot of my childhood, but if I ever decorate, I want something that looks like I just unleashed a Lovecraftian Deity in my front yard!
I think the reason why Oogy Boogy, Sand Worm, and Audrey plant works as inflatables is because of a few things: They’re all plumper characters, are wither stop motion/ puppets, and their designs are timeless.
I've also seen inflatable hearts, leprechauns, rabbits and this summer an inflatable Uncle Sam. So now people can keep something inflatable in their yard from October through July 4th.
It's funny that you mention that it takes over the abandoned stores. All the stores you showed that spirit fills we still have in my town, our spirit Halloween takes over the old blockbuster
man that 12 ft skeleton is really making the rounds on the internet. A friend of mine works at a Home Depot and told me about it, and now I'm seeing it pop up everywhere lol
Another pro of the inflatable decorations is that they don't take up much space when put away. I have one inflatable decoration, which I only got because it's cute. But I prefer using the classic decorations for Halloween.
I've been putting up decor I make myself out of trash like scrap wood, coffee cans and bike wheels for the past 3 years. Its fun being creative and having a unique looking home.

Yes. Ive always thought this and dont know why ive never said it out loud. You know what the absolute worst one is? The giant half deflated christmas snow globe.
You know there was this Headless Horseman inflatable I saw a long time ago that was absolutely awesome and scary. Now most inflatables now a days are too cute for Halloween.
i was gonna try to defend the inflatable lawn decor, but you have a point: they are pretty kid friendly when the Holiday is meant to scare and we have more than enough things to cause some goosebumps. i nearly offended my Halloween love! forgive me Spirits of Halloween! i nearly did you wrong!
I rather see the creepy decorations than the inflatable ones any day... Halloween is supposed to be creepy.

My boss has one... and its 20 feet tall.

That's the only inflatable I'd get.
There is. Walmart had one last year.
Only thing scarier than those inflatables are the prices!
When I'm older and have my own home, I'm never going to buy infatables.
You could say they *inflated*

Right. That inflatable Oogie Boogie goes for about $250.

They start mid late August here.
Almost as soon as they get the Halloween decorations out.
At the store where I work the Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations were out in August and Christmas was out in September.
Thank goodness my neighborhood waits till after Thanksgiving.

You can find stuffed mannequins online around Halloween that you can dress up and pose.

Can't believe I never made the connection about how the Halloween stores inhabit the corpse of a closed store.

Almost like it knows it’s existence is BS and is trying to shoot itself to better the lawn with one less inflatable decoration
Frosty's had enough.
I dont mind the inflatables around Halloween but I hate them at Christmas time.
