slo’s TUESDAY 10/25 poll - Blowup Halloween Decorations (outdoors)

[slo]

It’s less than a week until Halloween, so the polls are going to be Halloween themed.
Some topics many have been done last year, but I’ll try to prevent any repeats.

Do you have any Halloween blowup decorations outside?
If yes - how many?
(multiple choice)



For Me….We have none.
No offense to those that have them - I’m not a fan of them.
Occasionally I see one in someone’s yard that I like, but it’s not very often.
I mostly dislike how they look during the day - like a puddle of plastic in the yard.

*Inspiration for today’s poll is seeing so many of them in my subdivision - they’ve become very popular here.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Yes we have a couple. In contrast, our neighbors have SEVERAL.

We gave up competing with them

 

[Dan Murphy]

None

 

[Kitty 34]

We have none.

I have one—it is a ghost and I think it is small, but it’s never been out of the box. I won it a few years ago at a Halloween party. In general I don’t really like the blow ups very much, but if this one is as small as I think it is I might be okay with it. I just need to figure out a good place for it and see if I like it.

My thoughts exactly!

 

[Meriweather]

Sorry to those that don't like them I do!!
We have 3. A skeleton cat, and 2 ghosts.

Of course I have a Mickey blowup ghost, and it hangs from a branch so it's nice that it doesn't flatten out during the day.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

No. I think they’re tacky no matter what holiday it is.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I don't have any, but I don't mind them. We actually had a small Santa one for Christmas years ago, but did not replace it when it popped.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I don’t have any, but they are very popular here as well. Some people leave them running all day; you can hear the fans blowing.

One of my neighbors has a huge Stay Puft marshmallow man from Ghostbusters ON TOP of their house. It is tethered to the roof, but I keep thinking if it gets very windy, that thing will go flying.

 

[DeeBee3]

They are very popular where I am. The fun part is driving around and letting the kids enjoy. Sort of like going around looking at Christmas decorations (if you do that).

 

[WDWEPCOT]

None but I’ve seen several I like
I just don’t mess with them - some years I put out huge display other years not do much - this year is a not so much !

 

[Smugpugmug]

I don't have any and I enjoy seeing them when I pass by other houses. Not many people decorate for Halloween where I live. My dogs are scared of the pumpkin and black cat decorations on my porch so I think a blowup decoration would freak them out LOL

Yeah, I'm not a fan either, we have a few places up the road from us, Halloween thru Christmas their lawn looks like a junkyard during the day as they have several of these blow up decorations deflated and laying about.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I have one, a Mickey pumpkin with a witch's hat. I never use it. My daughter loves it and keeps nagging me to put it outside. Maybe I'll put it out on Halloween, but probably not.

One of my neighbors has a ton of them, it's cute.

I prefer the scary graveyard with skeletons and ghosts theme that I usually go with. Trying to be scary, etc.

As an aside, I do have a multi-purpose Nightmare Before Christmas projector that could work for both Halloween and Christmas. I'm feeling more inclined to put that one out.

 

[lucas]

I don't like them because of the way they look during the day.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I have a menagerie of them!!! We have a summer place that does 8-9 Halloween weekends with site decorating and booze or treating and it's a blast and everyone goes all out....THEN we spend actual halloween at the Fort and THAT IS where the magic happens!! Our 10+ blow ups are lame compared to what everyone else has, but blowups pack small and travel light! LOL

 

[bobbiwoz]

We don’t have any. I don’t mind seeing them.
