My Halloween Decorations

Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:04
the recording of this. Yes,
0:08
September is gone and it is now October
0:12
to be more technical. October 1st,
0:16
2025, Wednesday, October 1st.
0:20
Today I'm going to put up my Halloween
0:23
decorations. At least the ones I
0:26
currently have. I'm not sure if I will
0:27
add more. I don't even know if I'm going
0:28
to have room for the ones I've already
0:30
per purchased throughout the year and
0:32
have in my storage unit. So, going to
0:34
clear the storage unit out of Halloween
0:37
decor and put it in front of the
0:39
homestead.
0:41
Standing here on the back side, not of
0:43
water. Well, I guess technically of
0:45
water because there's water here
0:48
like a sprinkler system. And there's
0:51
also water here, which always, this
0:53
section here always reminds me of the
0:54
film Frankenstein when he like tosses
0:57
the little girl in the water there.
1:01
Scene in particular, Universal Monsters
1:03
Classic, but also the backside of
1:04
7-Eleven where I procured a piping hot
1:06
caffeinated beverage. It is October,
1:09
everyone,
1:12
and I am excited to put up my decor.
1:17
Let's see how it goes. And I'm inviting
1:18
you. Yes, you.
1:22
That's warm to join me.
1:25
Wearing an appropriate shirt.
1:31
Halloween 3.0. I've been calling it
1:31
Halloween 3.0 because August was my
1:34
Halloween 1.0. You had Midsummer Scream.
1:37
You had the announcements of Not Scary
1:38
Farm with the Nightmares Revealed. And
1:40
then September was all the Halloween
1:44
early Halloween haunts at the theme
1:45
parks out in SoCal. You know, HHN, Scary
1:49
Farm, Six Flags, etc. And now it's time
1:55
for Central Florida. Spooky season is
1:57
here. October 1st, everyone join me. Oh,
2:01
it's here.
2:02
Shall you? Good thing is I don't have to
2:05
go to any stores today. I don't have to
2:06
go out and purchase anything. Today is
2:08
just going to be going to the storage
2:10
shed and going to and from a house to
2:13
the storage shed back and forth multiple
2:16
times commuting in the car with big the
2:18
foot along for the ride.
2:26
It's almost a little spooky in here
2:26
taking the cart down the hallway. Should
2:29
have some mo motion sensors and turn the
2:31
lights on. But if you get to some of
2:33
these other sections and you just shift
2:35
this way, kind of expect Michael Myers
2:39
to be coming at you, right?
3:01
[laughter] H.
3:01
It begins.
3:04
It begins. Everything in here is
3:07
Halloween except for the one Christmas
3:08
blow mold. I still got to get Christmas
3:10
stuff. But yes, you have rested well in
3:13
here, my horrifying friends. And now
3:17
it's time
3:23
to depart the storage unit and make your
3:23
way into my yard.
3:28
Cart by cart, one by one. I'm probably
3:31
going to need three or four car loads.
3:33
Maybe maybe four or five cart loads, but
3:40
Oh, yeah. It's kind of been nice having
3:40
all the stuff in the storage, though.
3:41
Not having it in my garage cuz
3:45
kind of just separates the
3:48
the spookiness from my regular house.
3:50
So, I like the idea of the storage. And
3:52
I got I got to get some Christmas stuff.
3:54
Christmas stuff will be coming up at
3:55
some point. Maybe not this year, but
3:57
maybe some. Maybe some this year. Who
3:59
knows? All right, grabbing my second
4:00
cart now to my vehicle.
4:03
I think I'm going to be able to get two
4:04
carts to fill up my car. Couldn't go
4:08
full cart on the second cart because of
4:11
my automobile's getting a little getting
4:13
a little loaded up. But I think I should
4:15
be able to get it down to two car rides
4:19
from the storage unit to my house. So,
4:21
probably a total of four carts. Two
4:22
carts per car load. two car rides down,
4:26
which is actually a lot better than I
4:28
thought it was going to be. This is g
4:29
This isn't going to be too bad. All
4:30
right, toss it out of the vehicle. I
4:31
don't have it in any sort of organized
4:33
fashion yet, but just show it here. So,
4:35
some of the stuff still in boxes. Some
4:37
of the stuff still tagged up. Got to put
4:39
my welcome mat out
4:43
right there.
4:46
Some of the stuff I had forgotten I even
4:48
had purchased a couple months ago, like
4:50
the skeleton wheelbarrow.
4:53
And I do have so I got these because I
4:55
have some pillars on my balcony that I
4:58
want to put skeleton head and creepy
5:00
pumpkin heads and I think I'll have one
5:03
extra cuz I have four pillars that I can
5:06
put these up. So I'm going to put those
5:07
up there first and like to kind of get
5:09
this stuff scattered around the yard
5:10
before I go back and pick up the second
5:12
load to bring it back over here.
5:18
I forgot I had this many skeletons came
5:18
out of this tote right here.
5:20
Got a couple skeletons out of the tote,
5:22
but five skeletons fit inside that one
5:25
little tote. It wasn't even that big of
5:26
a tote either. They confined themselves
5:28
pretty good. They compress themselves
5:30
down really well. Hello again,
5:32
skeletons. Back over to the storage
5:34
unit.
5:36
Kind of excited to break open the
5:39
the bursting out of the ground skeleton.
5:43
Other different things. Couple new items
5:45
I didn't have last year. Actually, a lot
5:47
more stuff I didn't have last year. And
5:50
a lot of my head pieces, the headstones
5:53
I should say, are a lot more durable
5:54
than last year. I had kind of some
5:56
styrofoamy stuff that kept blowing over
5:58
in the wind and really doesn't stand
6:02
stay stand the elements very well. Where
6:04
these, the ones I purchased earlier this
6:06
year that I haven't put out yet, are a
6:08
lot more durable and sturdy and probably
6:11
won't blow over and decompose
6:15
as quickly and fall apart. So, I don't
6:17
think I'm going to go with styrofoam
6:18
anymore. I'm going to go with hard
6:20
plastic or rubber or whatever this is.
6:22
It's probably rubber,
6:25
right?
6:27
As it turns out, I'm probably not going
6:28
to get all of it in two car loads.
6:33
Probably going to have to leave the
6:34
mannequin. Come back and get that.
6:42
Actually, both the items that are still
6:42
standing in here, well, the skeleton
6:44
sitting are going to have to go. These I
6:46
can fit in the second batch of the car.
6:53
But currently, Michael Myers and the
6:53
very large skeleton. And this is
6:55
obviously going to wait till December.
6:57
Then I'll add more in December. Take
6:59
down the Halloween. Put up the Christmas
7:02
stuff. But have to purchase more of that
7:04
at a later time. Big skeleton staying
7:06
until round three of car load. And got
7:10
this here. Got the outfit of Michael
7:11
Myers on the mannequin. But he is going
7:14
to transform before the end of the
7:16
evening to Frankenstein's monster.
7:18
Little Frankie action. But right now,
7:20
this is kind of creepy. He's just like
7:21
staring at me. Michael, I'm going to
7:24
leave you in the dark. Michael, hold me
7:26
pull this out.
7:28
But I'll be back as far as you know here
7:31
in just a little bit to get you both.
7:34
You're staying over there.
7:37
Christmas decor
7:43
worked out pretty good. while I was
7:43
going to get the second batch. Had
7:44
everything up on the porch
7:46
and mowers came through.
7:49
Mowed the yard. Good to go.
7:58
It couldn't have worked out any better
7:58
to put the stuff out today on the first
8:00
day of October.
8:09
They are kind of tough to see them, but
8:09
I have the four skulls up there nestled
8:12
upon the knobs,
8:14
the top banisters on the balcony.
8:18
See right there? They're almost like
8:20
looming down and staring
8:23
at the neighborhood.
8:37
All right. Time to start dispersing this
8:37
stuff around.
8:43
It's time.
8:43
It's time. The skeleton groundbreaker.
8:47
Got the instructions here.
8:50
Find the place and set this bad boy up.
8:53
There's his torso. There's his hands.
8:56
There's his noggin.
9:00
I probably could have picked a better
9:01
time to put this stuff out instead of
9:03
middle of the day. It's 86 degrees.
9:05
Probably early morning and then or maybe
9:06
later in the evening around dusk. I
9:08
guess the same could be said of the
9:09
person that's weed eating my neighbor's
9:10
yard, too. Coming along nicely so far.
9:13
Adding some pumpkins in. Adding some
9:15
spooky little ghosts. A lot of haunted
9:18
mansion nods. Rest in peace, Cousin
9:22
Hewitt. We all know you didn't do it.
9:27
This is obviously a work in progress,
9:30
but I've already got way more out now
9:32
than I did
9:34
last year, and I still haven't even
9:35
started putting the
9:37
skeletons from last year out yet. Now,
9:40
this did not come with the skull in
9:43
there, but I took the the skull off of a
9:46
tinier skeleton I had. I think it really
9:48
works out pretty good having that in
9:51
there like that. I like that a lot.
9:54
It really needed something in the face
9:55
area.
9:57
There you go. Another mansion reference.
10:00
Realize good old Fred, great big rock,
10:02
fell on his head. Haven't decided if I'm
10:04
going to put these up, the fencing up or
10:06
not. Might not need it with everything
10:08
that I got out so far. But I put the
10:11
hands kind of coming up out of this
10:13
grave.
10:15
Speaking of mansion, here's Leotaa
10:33
I returned.
10:33
I almost did the pirate voice from
10:35
yesterday. I've returned, guys. Sorry.
10:37
Still in pirate mode from yesterday's
10:40
not so scary Halloween party.
10:44
You're coming with me. You're coming
10:46
with me. You're staying here another
10:48
month or two.
11:10
Took about 10 minutes to put together
11:10
the wheelbarrow. Skeleton wheelbarrow.
11:13
Not really sure what I'm going to do
11:14
with it. I might have one of the other
11:15
skeletons pushing the skeleton
11:17
wheelbarrow.
11:18
a little quicker to put this together
11:20
than it was the bursting out of the
11:21
ground skeleton, but both took I don't
11:24
know 10 minutes or less. Let's call 15
11:27
minutes or less. Not too bad.
11:30
Not really sure why I got this, but
11:34
it's a skeleton wheelbarrow made out of
11:35
a torso of a skeleton. Woo! Starting to
11:37
rain.
11:39
Started off with a sprinkle. I decided
11:42
to put the gates up. Now it's come down
11:44
a little. I'm not done putting
11:46
everything up yet, but might have to
11:49
camp out underneath the porch for a
11:51
minute till I till this passes over
11:53
hopefully.
12:22
Also got to put a couple skeletons up
12:22
here on this. And this is probably where
12:23
I'm going to put Frankenstein also. I
12:26
don't know. I might put Frankenstein up
12:27
on the I might put on the ground level.
12:30
I don't know. Haven't figured it out
12:31
yet.
13:08
during that downpour.
13:08
gave me the opportunity to work on
13:10
Frankenstein on the porch. Frankie has
13:13
now joined the party. A couple skeletons
13:16
up here looking downward
13:25
at the yard.
13:25
And then got a
13:27
another spider right there. So you got a
13:30
spider there. It has just been non-stop
13:32
raining for a couple hours. And then the
13:35
spider just hanging on. Also have these
13:39
little plush bats out of the elements. I
13:42
always like these. I got a couple of
13:43
those left over from last year. Just
13:46
swooping around the porch. And another
13:48
one there as well.
13:51
Might change this light out.
13:53
I need a different color light. But the
13:55
banshee, I'm happy to say, is back. The
14:00
Banshee
14:03
right here dangling in front of the
14:04
door.
14:06
The Banshee.
14:14
This is at dusk if you want to call it
14:14
that.
14:16
Probably going to head and grab a bite
14:17
to eat. Maybe go by Publix or maybe go
14:20
somewhere else. But I'll come back at
14:22
night.
14:24
Show it under the shroud of Nightfall.
14:28
Yeah, I think it's a little a little bit
14:29
of a step up from last year. So, I got
14:32
the
14:34
little female bust here, the weeping
14:36
lady, if you will. She's kind of like a
14:38
almost looks like she's I don't know,
14:40
like a dripping face of sorts. And you
14:43
got this skeleton here waving. I might
14:46
add more, but this is step one of my
14:49
2025 decor. Placed a little ghost right
14:53
there. I placed the crow
14:55
right here underneath the armpit of the
14:58
ground bursting skeleton
15:01
which is pretty cool. And I got the
15:03
chair up there.
15:25
Really happy with this to be honest. I
15:25
like the like the little skull in there.
15:28
That worked out so good. So good. I was
15:31
kind of thinking what am I going to put
15:32
in there? And then I had a little teeny
15:33
skeleton
15:35
I didn't utilize this time.
15:39
So I went ahead and got that. And then
15:40
you got the pair right up there looking
15:43
down giving. One of them's giving a
15:45
little wave. The other one's not waving.
15:47
You got another spider crawling up. like
15:49
the spider the spider look. And then you
15:53
got the tippy top up there, the skulls.
15:56
There's four of them. A couple right
15:58
there.
16:00
You got a couple more over there kind of
16:02
behind the tree.
16:10
Yeah, it rained for a good solid amount
16:10
of time.
16:18
the little blow molds. And then I opted
16:18
to put the big pumpkin inside the
16:22
skeleton wheelbarrow.
16:26
Worked out pretty good.
16:48
But the Mickey ears on the big fella
16:48
down there.
16:57
There you go.
16:57
For starters, I think that's pretty good
16:58
for first day of October.
17:02
You know, I always thought the front of
17:03
my place kind of resembles
17:06
kind of resembles Haunted Mansion in a
17:08
roundabout way. So, it just makes sense
17:11
to put the
17:14
cemetery in the yard. Haunted mansion.
17:18
There it is in all its all its glory.
17:22
Probably going to work on getting some
17:23
sort of lighting
17:25
at some point. Maybe to just kind of
17:27
illuminate. I don't know if I'll go with
17:29
any kind of fogs or or fog, I should
17:31
say, or animatronics or inflatables.
17:35
just kind of like going with keeping it
17:36
basic but also keeping it keeping it fun
17:39
and light. And
17:42
now at night the the lighting through
17:44
here changes a little bit so it kind of
17:47
gives like a different kind of aura. So
17:48
a little bit later I'll show it at dark.
17:57
I like to the big skeleton bursting out
17:57
of the ground is awesome. And I had
17:59
considered getting one of the the 12 or
18:01
the 16 foot Home Depot skeletons, but
18:03
I'm not I don't know if I'm going to do
18:04
that or not. But I think I got room if I
18:06
did decide to do that. Got plenty of
18:08
room.
18:10
I have a lot of stuff, but there's still
18:13
Spooky.
18:15
Very spooky.
18:18
October's here.
18:31
I'm still getting rained on. Not raining
18:31
as heavy, but it's still sprinkling.
18:32
Then this shirt is soaking wet with with
18:35
rain and or sweat. I think out of
18:37
everything in the yard, the most
18:38
noticeable at first impression is the
18:41
skeleton bursting out of the ground. And
18:43
these got rain in my eye.
18:52
All right, go get some food. Dude, I
18:52
worked up an appetite putting all this
18:53
stuff out. Worked up quite an appetite.
18:57
You look like you could use you could
18:58
use just some meat on your bones there.
19:10
Sounds like the skies are cleared up
19:10
just a little bit.
19:13
Of course, after I get done putting
19:14
everything out, then it stops raining
19:18
and it's not as hot as it was. It was It
19:21
was honestly kind of scorching a little
19:23
bit earlier. Feels great out now. That
19:25
feels really good.
19:28
Coolness after a
19:31
Well, October now October storm. October
19:33
1st storm. That's a sunset. Also, check
19:36
out the Mickey Power Pole.
19:40
I pop in Publix. Get a bite to eat where
19:43
traffic's kind of backed up over there.
19:45
But how beautiful does that sunset look,
19:57
Got the clouds
19:57
up above there.
20:00
Love me some Publix. Got a bite to eat.
20:02
Head back to the house
20:05
and call it a night.
20:08
That's going to do it for today.
20:17
Halloween decorations are up. Start of
20:17
October countdown is on
20:21
till all
20:23
Hallow's Eve.
20:30
Thanks for watching.
20:30
I'll see you in the next video. The vlog
20:33
is
