Up Date

If you are looking for Halloween stuff start at Michael's craft stores, they already have an impressive aisle of Halloween decor. They had several neat colored bottles with Halloween labels. I bought some of the bottles and a statue bust of a skeleton man. I then headed to Party City and saw that their Halloween stuff is barley out. There are a few items at Party City, I plan on buying a scene setter to match this year's theme of Mad Scientist.

Skeketon Bust
I bought this at Michael's for about 14$

Flickering Lights
These flickering light bulbs I bought at Party City for about 4.99$ for two of them; they look like a flickering candle flame.

Bottles
I bought these bottles at Michael's, the big ones were 4.99$ and the small ones were 2.99$

Atomic Glow

Also for the Mad Scientist theme I found something called Atomic Glow from the Steve Spangler Science website, I plan on buying some of this liquid which will turn water into a green glowing liquid that looks like its radio active. I found a cylinder shaped aquarium which I will put the "atomic water" in; I found a website where you can make your own warning labels, I made a warning label with the radioactive symbol on it; you can find that website here: http://www.warninglabelgenerator.com/

Also to go with the Mad Scientist lab I have information about some real live mad scientist including Sergey Bryukhonenko, a Russian scientist who in the 1940s conducted experiments on dogs, and invented a device call the autojecktor, which he used to keep severed dog heads alive by injecting the brain with oxygenated blood into the dog's brain; I first heard about this in a true book called Stiff. I will print out photos and information about the mad scientist on "aged paper" and put it near a very old typewriter we have, along with a very old radio and an old rotary phone.

Very nice score of stuff!! I love those flicker lights. I replace my dinning room lights with those every October. :)

Good luck on the mad scientist lab!

Cheers!
