Like a randy terrier on an exposed perfumed leg the 99p store has certainly had a good go this year in regards to Halloween!!!
In my nearest store, a long aisle has been possessed by the Halloween spirit smack bang in the middle of the shop creating a dark beating heart of Halloween goodness.
Despite the notable presence of Halloween product however points of sale and displays are non existent. Ok, its a 99p store so perhaps in order to keep those low low prices they have to do away with such frivolities. Actually no! i dont except that! its Halloween for creeps sake!!!! a little dark ambiance whilst i spend my 99p thanking you please!!!
The 99p store has packed a lot of product variety into their long isle with the basics you would expect (decorations, costumes, pumpkin carving kits) through to some standout products such as a collection of super creepy scare dolls, decorations for the car and some decorate a witch kits for your cripperlets.
Let the Critter absolutely assure you that i have seen far less interesting product on sale for a great deal more in other outlets. Talk is cheap and it seems so must be imagination because some real effort and design has gone into the range of products on offer, i dont now how the 99p has managed to keep the cost of the range so low but they certainly haven't scrimped on character and sheer choice on offer.
At 99p per product the 99p store is the ideal place for stocking up on halloween items for parties and large spaces and certainly the critter has already parted with a great deal of coin whilst perusing the shelves.
Overall Critter must give the 99p a happy and hearty halloween recommendation. Great variety of product that features a lot of character and all at 99p per item! Superb value.
There are many 99p stores located in and around London and the South Coast, for information on the nearest branch to you use the store locator on the 99p store website.
OVERALL MARKS:
Presentation: 0/5
Variety: 5/5
Standout items: 3/5
Value: 5/5
Overall 13 out of 20.

The 99p store website however has certainly thus far not been haunted by the spirit of Halloween and i found spooky product impossible to find, so if you go seeking the produce mentioned above, make sure its the old fashioned way!!!!! i.e. actually visiting the shop!!!!

Shoots from the Halloween tree begin to spring!
Spotted in the chain store "Wilkinsons" today these seasonal offerings from Nestle! The Milky bar ghost & the smarties pumpkin! The kids will love them...or they would if the Creepy Critter hadn't stuffed the lot already!

Lego Haunted House Playset
When Gabrielle the singing pirate claimed in her 1993 hit single that "dreams, can come true, you know you got to have it, you know you got to be true ooh ooh" the Critter paid little attention but now it seems some 19 years on that the troubled songstress was indeed right after all!!! As proved by the release of the haunted house playset from Lego which is availabe to buy now!!!
Creepy Critter has yet to get his gnarled claws on the set (Lego if your reading this can i suggest sending me the set gratis would be a wise marketing ploy...ahem!) but just look at the photo's! Pure monsterous lego porn! Call me Elvis baby because i truly am "All shook up!"
The haunted house Measures 15.4” (39cm) high, 9.4” (24cm) wide and 7.5” (19cm) deep and includes six mini figures.
Imagine this dark beautiful thing setup somewhere in your abode! The hours of fun cackling together with your family as the house is assembled! Now thats Halloween people! oh yes indeedy!
