@efaardvark sounds like they’re going for the AOT effect
there’s a house I drive by once a week that has a fence around it & one of those in the yard year-round. And another that’s had four of those giant decorations (headless horseman, scarecrow, ent & skeleton) up since September started. I plan to put up my Halloween decorations next weekend, but nothing on that level. Already updated my profile pages here & on MAL (might tweak that one more).
Anime wise still need to finish latest season’s of Hanako-kun & Call of tge Night & planning to watch the OG Vampire Hunter D closer to time. Movie wise, a couple spooky faves (Trick ‘R Treat & Paranorman) are getting theatrical re-releases, considering going to one or both. And the Chainsaw Man movie comes out late October as well.
