Midge, thank you 100 times over. As a designer of folk art, companies and people copy, tweak, and sell our designs. It is frustrating beyond measure as well as hurts my heart. Designers work tirelessly to create beautiful, creative art. Sometimes, spending weeks to months perfecting a design. So, from the bottom of my 🖤🧡 👻 thank you!
I love that you started your video off by advocating for small businesses! You've been such a great advocate for small businesses, and it does not go unnoticed. Thank you! As a small business owner myself, I really appreciate this. I combination shop with both big businesses and small businesses, and it can be so off-putting seeing art or designs that you know was created by an independent business owner.
I’m loving the small business angle. Especially in this climate I am sick and tired of corporate greed, so what a breath of fresh air! You’re the best. So happy to see you looking back to your old self! Sending love ❤❤❤
Tbh even though I was one of the people who wanted to see Halloween hunting videos, I prefer these videos showing what spooky goods are available at smaller businesses because there are a million and a half other youtubers showing what’s at big box stores already, and it’s easy for me to just check those stores irl for myself in an afternoon too . Halloween decor hunting at smaller businesses (like both small artists/ craftspeople or even medium sized online businesses that are just less talked about) is more useful to me because it takes a lot more time and effort to find the good small business finds and I don’t have time for that so it’s helpful to have someone else do that work for me . The reason I watch Halloween decor hunting videos is more for the spooky ambiance and seeing ideas of how other people are decorating which I can get out of small business videos or other types of spooky videos just as easily . There are so many other types of videos I would love to see more of on the spooky side of RUclips too like videos about spooky decorating or fashion or costumes or diys or food or movie/book recommendations or even Halloween party ideas or other spooky season activities we can do to enjoy the season . I especially like your content for the spooky vintage style inspo since that’s my aesthetic too, so if you did pretty much any content related to that I’d be happy !
So happy to hear you're still feeling really good! It was heartbreaking to hear about all you've been through with your gallbladder and that doctor over the years. I wish you continued good health & joyful days to come!
Hi Midge! Thank you for showcasing spooky small businesses! Your support means so much! It's been wild to see so many fellow creators having their work and intellectual property ripped off. So may of us launched our spooky creative ventures out of our love for the season and the handmade Halloween community. Thank you for showcasing this work and for your ongoing acknowledgement of makers and artisans. I am SO EXCTIED that you are back! 🦇
Glad to see you back posting! I am honestly getting burnt out on watching videos of all my favorite Halloween content creators going to the same places showing the same things in stores. I do let the videos shuffle and play on my tv. It’s a breath of fresh air to see a video that gears towards small business owners to see new and different Halloween items! Today I’m post op day #6 and starting to feel little better. Just sore , tired and having tummy aches after eating 😕
Right on ghoul! You've always been a vocal advocate for small business. Just another reason why I love you and your channel! Love to see this! So thrilled to see what's next! 👻🧡👏🏽👏🏽
I appreciate that! 🖤 I’ve always loved my small business babes, and I’ve seen so many of my faves closing their doors 😩 gotta do what I can to support!
Wow! This is my first time seeing one of your videos ever, I loved it! Also, I just bought Matt Woods calendar. Thank you so so much for sharing. I am obsessed with all the things that you mentioned today.
I came back to your channel to find Lively Ghosts! I wanted to order something from them for my birthday but couldn’t remember the brand name, but I’m so glad they’re on the list! Great to see your lovely face again 💕
You look gorgeous and I’m so excited to see you back!!! I’ve been so ready for spooky season and seeing your new videos pop up made me so happy! And as an artist, thank you so much for featuring small businesses like this ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing the art of independent artists and small businesses. It's so easy to get wrapped up in the big box stores offerings for halloween. I immediately went to Nocturn Salem and purchased a few items. 💀🎃
So happy you're back! And so happy you made this video. With how crazy the price of halloween decor is getting I would rather pay that to someone who is working hard for themselves, to have something not everyone else will have 👏
I really love the focus on small biz/creators the last few years 😍 don't get me wrong, I love a good hunt, but I'm a little over the same 4 box stores being posted every year. Share with me the stuff I don't get to see when I'm out! Show me the real creations! And amen about stealing art! Just quit it.
I haven’t even watched this yet but I have to tell you. I finally went to Salem and my first stop was nocturne. I also went to the Black veil because of you. They were two of the most amazing stores I’ve ever walked into. I literally would not have found them without you and I am so grateful for your work on making sure that small businesses in small artists and amazing people get the credit that they are due. I would much rather spend my money with these people then with the big box stores.I appreciate you so much
Hey ghoul 🖤 I can’t wait to check out these shops! I’ve been trying to shop small and support when I can. I’ve cut out Temu but I had no idea the big box stores were stealing from artists and small businesses! That’s terrible. Imagine putting so much into something just for a greedy big company to steal it and make bank. TBH though I usually just go Halloween decor hunting for fun and that spooky serotonin boost and don’t buy anything.
I'm so glad you're back! I love your message of thinking outside the consumerism box. I love buying second hand and vintage or making my own decor whenever possible. Buying from others that are like-minded is chefs' kiss. 🎃💚✨️
Love the featuring of small businesses! Wish there were more irl spaces that included them. Hoping to get to a few horror events to be able to feature small businesses in my own Halloween Hunting series this year. Loving the dark colored dress on you btw!
I found you last year and have been watching you ever since. Your style and charisma for your passion are one of a kind! So good to hear you’re feeling better! You should make a video all about your spooky mugs (and even cookware to extend the video) that you’ve collected! I think a lot of people would love to see what all you have!
So happy to see you are doing well and have your wonderful content again. Your last video truly hit close to home and I'm so sorry you had to go through the pain and the dismissal of your pain for so long. I enjoy your big box store finds, but I absolutely love your videos that feature small businesses 🧡 it's nice to see (and buy) some unique and interesting items that I wouldn't usually find in stores.
So happy you’re back. Missed you and absolutely love your channel. My mom recently had her gallbladder removed and she’s very relieved and thought of you. Can’t wait to see more beautiful content! ❤❤❤❤
Just bought a calendar! What a great idea! Loved this video soooooo much. I'm so happy for you that you are on the road to feeling happy, healthy and listened to!
Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm so glad I did! You're absolutely stunning, in a vampy queen way 🧛🏼♀️👸. You radiate joyful, quirky vibes. Love the atmosphere you've created!
I just came across your channel, I’m so excited to get to know you and YOUR STYLE IS ICONIC. I’m glad you’re doing better, cannot wait to see more from you 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I love supporting small businesses! I also bought that black picnic basket from Lively Ghosts, along with some of their body oils. I purchased the At Rest pillowcase from Velvet Apparition (it's lovely) and a spiderweb duvet cover from Sin in Linen, which is another shop with really cool pieces! Life After Death Designs also has functional household items with a spooky vibe. I love my Memento Mori shower curtain from them 🖤
I'm glad you're feeling better! Love the small business focus. All of the items look better than mainstream! 😊 Die cuts? I have been wondering where to find really great vintage inspired die cut pieces. I remember as a kid THAT was the bulk of Halloween decor in school or at home. Beistle has some, but I was looking for cutesy Halloween, too.
Halloween nostalgia folks should check out south of sanity candles. It’s a small business. I love to hear him talk about the inspirations. It’s straight from my childhood.
I need that lamp shade!!! 😍 Also I have a small free hand crochet biz, I wish I could show you some of my spooky stuff like the Beetle Juice top I just made!
I feel like you're one of the few Halloween channels I follow who's very genuine in the desire to move away from the big box store obsession and I really appreciate that from you
I already followed most of these shops, but there were a couple in there that were new to me which is exciting because I am always happy to find new spooky small businesses! I really need one of those lampshades now....
What a lovely video! I've been wondering about the big box brands stealing designs recently. I ran into a "ghost walking a ghost dog" figure that seemed to be a pre-existing line drawing when I did some research. I also got one of the new Headless Horseman figures with the triple belt only to run into a nearly identical design on Etsy by a 3D printing miniature creator. I always try not assume ill intent, but it has really made me wonder running into that scenario twice in just the month of July.
I love that you do this! It’s great way to shop all year round, support artist and not big box stores-esp if you’re not a fan of what they have. We def don’t need to indulge every season. But all year with local artists is best!
Integrity yes girl, I just am really feeling the deepness of the soul going into a place where we should be supporting small business owners and understand your message. It’s making an impact. SKOL
I really enjoyed this video. I think it was unique and different learning about different small shops and their Creativity nothing against the people that go in the major stores and they show you what they have. That’s all fine and good but this was different and unique to see things you’re not gonna see in the big stores I give the video a 10 out of 10.
Oooh love this! Everything looked like high quality home decor, not just cheap mass produced junk that ends up in the land fill. I mean don't get me wrong, I enjoy a trip to Michael's as much as the next girl, but you definitely get the point where you want something that looks really nice.
That's funny, I am the same way, I love to get myself a new coffee mug and I also have enough but can you though? I really liked those mugs. I love burning candles, I will have to check out Graveyard Wanders, thank you. Wow! that lamp shade was really pretty. That calendar is so cute. Thank you for sharing those small business names I will go and check out their merchandise.
Midge, thank you 100 times over. As a designer of folk art, companies and people copy, tweak, and sell our designs. It is frustrating beyond measure as well as hurts my heart. Designers work tirelessly to create beautiful, creative art. Sometimes, spending weeks to months perfecting a design.
So, from the bottom of my 🖤🧡 👻 thank you!
just randomly stumbled into this video and I've gotta say I ADORE the intro animation that's so cute and spooky!!
I love that you started your video off by advocating for small businesses! You've been such a great advocate for small businesses, and it does not go unnoticed. Thank you! As a small business owner myself, I really appreciate this.

Thumbs up for that intro alone! 😍 Absolutely LOVE it! 👏
I’m loving the small business angle. Especially in this climate I am sick and tired of corporate greed, so what a breath of fresh air! You’re the best. So happy to see you looking back to your old self! Sending love ❤❤❤
Oh ghoul, I hear ya! Every year I’m like “nope, don’t need any more mugs”, then Halloween rolls around and i find myself buying 2 or 3 more 😅😂🎃

Love the spooky small businesses! I will be checking them out!
Obsessed with your stunning, dark, vampiric look with the juxtaposition of the Scooby Doo nails. 💅🏼
They are perfection
Thank you for mentioning Graveyard Wanders. I’ve been searching for fall candles for this year and they fit the bill!! 🖤

first time watching and I LOVE the intro!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you!!
Glad you are feeling better. Thank you for introducing these small businesses to me.❤
I plan on at least buying ONE thing from each of these businesses and mentioning in the notes that you sent me to them
Yay! Another Midge Munster video 🖤 I love that beautiful dark lipstick on you, you look like a kitschy vampire lol
This is a FANTASTIC roundup full of unique, gorgeous products and I love to see it.
Thank you for sharing the spooky small businesses...my favorite type of shopping/haul videos. So glad you are well and back!
Your hair and make-up are on point!!!!! The darker hair and lipstick really suit you.
So happy you're back! And so happy you made this video. With how crazy the price of halloween decor is getting I would rather pay that to someone who is working hard for themselves, to have something not everyone else will have 👏
We're on a roll!!!😁 Just so happy you're back !! Enjoying every minute of it!!🤎🍁🍂🖤🎃👻🦇🧹

ALSO the absolute professional poise and pronunciation of the opening of the video had me like SHEEEEEEE'S BAAAAAAAACK!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Love the small biz shares because it clues me into makers I would otherwise not know about!
Side note: Really loving this dark lip ❤
Pleaseeee continue this series! I loved it 2 years ago too! Thank you for showcasing these!
I will!🖤😍

Lovely idea! Thank you for sharing small businesses. I’m pretty over seeing big box store pieces. This is much more exciting🎃❤️
🎉🎉🎉 thank you for calling out corporations stealing from small businesses. This is a breath of fresh air.
Absolutely!! I wish more people were saying the quiet part out loud. So frustrating to see massive corps profiting off the work of small artists
it's so exciting to see your videos again! glad to hear your health is better!!
Just bought a calendar! What a great idea! Loved this video soooooo much. I'm so happy for you that you are on the road to feeling happy, healthy and listened to!

Integrity yes girl, I just am really feeling the deepness of the soul going into a place where we should be supporting small business owners and understand your message. It’s making an impact. SKOL
That dress is so pretty, that and the darker make-up were just gorgeous!!
I looked at the Nightshades and there's a Beetlejuice one. It's perfect for you, Midge!
I know! Someday I would love to have that one for the Beetlesuite!
Perfection 👌🏻 and you look AMAZING 🖤

I love this! Down the bunnicula hole I go
That's funny, I am the same way, I love to get myself a new coffee mug and I also have enough but can you though? I really liked those mugs. I love burning candles, I will have to check out Graveyard Wanders, thank you. Wow! that lamp shade was really pretty. That calendar is so cute. Thank you for sharing those small business names I will go and check out their merchandise.
I have a burgundy shade with black trim. I’m going to add fringe and bats. 🦇🎃This is why I don’t throw away decor.
