The Best Halloween Home Decor Hunting of 2021 Part 2

[@catandrobbyflores]

Am I the only one who wants to see the lair of mayumi, queen of kitschy Halloween?

[@kitirena_koneko]

Cheery pastels and creepy Goth? Oh, the horror! Now I TOTALLY want to see her place!

[@aquaig]

Yes, please do so

[@culinarygurly987]

No there is a group of us on part one chanting for this

[@pkadoman]

Nope, no you're not.

[@LittleBocchan]

Voltaire, Sir, this is gothic homemaking. You better drop the "stay tuned" for "stay tombed"!

[@StephanieRendino]

The scuff on the tombstone tray adds character.

[@tempestates13]

I found metal skull baketrays at walmart

[@oliviaparker7840]

Ok but Mayumi’s hair is incredible

[@nyxshadowhawk]

There's a new shop that opened up in Olde Mystick Village in Mystic, CT called "The Cloak and Wand." There were Halloween decorations outside and a literal line to get in. They had this really cool cabinet-of-curiosities aesthetic and sold lots of spooky stuff, D&D and Harry Potter merch, craft wands, books of folklore, etc. And in the back they had these Victorian-style display cabinets full of skulls and shrunken heads and the like. They also had this cafe where they sold juice drinks with names like "hex on the beach" and "embalming fluid," and the label on the cup was so awesome I actually kept the cup. It's like Goth Diagon Alley! I am just so happy that places like that exist in the world, and that I can go to them. It's validating.

[@skylove1336]

It would be so great to be able to peak inside your kitchen cabinets full of spooky themed serve, plate, drink wares

[@SunnysFilms]

8:33 Aurelio Voltaire turned into John Townsends for a minute there.

[@blackrose86lh]

I can't wait to see all the Haunted Mansion decor! I feel really bad for Michael's this year, and their employees. I'm a Halloween villager, and watching people lose their minds in village groups was just sad. It's not their faults the supply chain was interrupted. I did manage to get my must have piece this year, a haunted whiskey distillery, but did miss seeing a full display like years past.

[@thelaurelbush]

Yeah I was wondering if anything would arrive last minute but I wasn't going to yell at store staff over it.

[@LycaonsMemories]

since mayumi (i hope i spelled that right) joined the show its gotten beyond cheesy and adorable. you two are wonderful together

[@kitirena_koneko]

I have to say that a collaboration between Voltaire and Elvira would be absolutely awesome, although I'm afraid that it may be more than my evil little kitty heart could take, nyao!

[@MidniteCatK]

As a worker at Michaels this season, I can confirm that we didn't get some Halloween stuff in until 3 days before the holiday itself. It was sad, but due to delayed shipments that we had no control over.

[@darbygordon7036]

A few people on Jade the Libra's Halloween Forever group said that Michaels got in a last shipment of Halloween this week and put it on 50% off. So, I went today. They didn't have much. However, I got a Spooky Town piece for 50% off. That was definitely worth the trip. Happy Halloween!

[@msmockturtle4921]

they really didn't, but I lucked out and found a articulated skeleton for $16

[@jinxiejae]

I've named my phone leota. Every morning when my alarm goes off I yell " shut up leota!"

[@animevampierangel131]

Who doesn't want more Elvira?

[@priskilla5444]

You should really do some kind of children's book... Like Dr. Seuss, but for death! Maybe you can teach kids how to deal with loss or death. It can be gothic as heck! I would buy it!

[@mayumi_toyoda]

He has a children’s book called “The legend of candy claws” 🥰🖤🦇

[@priskilla5444]

@@mayumi_toyoda AWESOME! I didn't know that! I'll be buying it ASAP! Thank you Mayumi, I love your style and think you're amazing too! 💜🦇

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

*YES!* A Halloween Homer Decor video from The Lair Of Voltaire just in time for Halloween. What could be better! 🎃🐈‍⬛🦇🕸🕷💀⚰🪦⚰💀🕸🦇🐈‍⬛🎃

[@JustJennyKelly]

It’s crazy how the last couple of years have been for us spooky lovers. I’m just happy to have found a spooky community here on KZbin! I may not have been able to ogle at everything this year in person but very thankful for y’all sharing ❤️ Happy Halloweekend!!! ✨🎃✨👻✨🎃✨👻✨🎃✨👻✨🎃✨

[@EdAtoZ]

Voltaire, If some day in the future, you ever decide to stop being an entertainer. You should try to be a store buyer for Halloween items.

[@Violet-qf8dr]

I could see him with his own spooky store.

[@syx9986]

"You, Dad! I learned it by watching you!" Awesome 80's PSA reference!!!

[@anixa00ify]

I finally made it to one of your LIVES!!! So excited. Hello from south Florida. Recently new to Voltaire.

[@Arshva]

The puns per minute ratio is killer :))

[@tempestates13]

Something to keep in mind when shopping at Joanns...COUPONS! They'll become your friend.

[@MrsBrittanyWood]

I got that same metal skeleton bowl at home goods for $29. I also got another metal bowl with just one skeleton holding it for $24. JoAnne’s pricing on that is insane!

[@jadetoulon7949]

I am extremely surprised that Orville was being nice and called Aurelio “dad”. Maybe he will get nicer in the future, or maybe I’m getting my hopes up for no reason

[@thornmallow1]

I looked for those Cauldron cobweb mugs after I watched this video, and they were gone! 😭

[@Michyhopey]

I really do miss you being part of my Halloween 🎃

[@Mono_Corsovia]

Gothic mirror on the wall... who's the punniest disney villan of them all?.. Oh Voltaire You say... hm... seem's acuratte.

[@anneargo-davies692]

I think this is the happiest I’ve ever seen you!!! So glad you have someone really special to share Halloween with this year!!! I love your video’s and decor tips, and really excited to see you in concert one day soon.

[@vexingtonleifang7409]

At 4.29 I felt a chill... right here... in my bosom. Taylor swift wildest dreams stung my ear drums as I began to float into a state of euphoria overwhelmed.

[@NomenEstLegio]

No Halloween haul without a good number of d(e)ad jokes xD

[@soranightstorm9262]

The metal key would be perfect for a protection ward for the home. Would need 1850’s square nails some herbs to bring protection. a few crystals and runes of protection and one for home. Then have your witchy friends create that for you valtaire.

[@zazocar]

I felt the same about Micheals, I had no luck finding the good items at all, never new if I missed them or was I early. I am glad I am not the only one....

[@dianefields295]

I love Halloween decor at my apt but no room for us. That’s my favorite. My teenager son went with friends to the party. Next day october 31 my son went out with friends again treat & trick. He has fun. I bought for him fun world scream costumes. Thank you show me video. At the store is almost went out. WOW! 👍👍😊😘🤟🏾🖤🖤🧡🧡🎃💀📱

[@ElysionGear]

Here for the treasure hunting, staying for the dad jokes! Cheesecake!

[@Madkalibyr]

Nutmeg.. have you been hanging with John Townsend?:) (that would be an interesting collaboration!! )

[@Spekor]

the bottles with glued in stoppers easily open with a tiny bit of heat. i cleared off the hot glue they used from the inside of the mouth and replaced with an actual wooden cork. and since i'm now on blood pressure meds i put them in it it says "deadly pumpkin potion" i love it and it fits my personality perfectly

[@zaknafein_aconite]

Those feather wreaths from Michael's would be one of my favorite items, easily. I even D.I.Y'd one myself, back when they used to have little black birds perched at the bottom.

[@arisokit9866]

27:36 Oh hush, Orville! Let Voltaire and his beautiful partner have fun sharing their artistic passions with the viewers.

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

It was a crazy year this year for Halloween hunting, it was feast or famine!

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

The poetry and rhyming is really Great 📝 ✍️ thank you for your efforts. Funny and entertaining.

[@WraythSkitzofrenik]

A goth Disney Princess...yes please!

[@theanonymousx]

I fvckin' LOVE that rat.

[@Auxsium]

Personally, I preferred the He & She candle holders from B&BW more. That's saying something because you'd catch me dead in such a store.

[@thylightjess9168]

I could just imagine what you two could do with a backyard!

[@bonnieorr2634]

Those earrings Mayumi is wearing are awesome! Love seeing her by your side!

[@ebmosier1]

Voltaire went to my old JoAnn and Michaels in Kissimmee I am SCREAMING

[@mildredtoepfer7897]

Ah dang, I didn't see ANY of that stuff at my target. But I did get a really cool led skull light that is on my wall now. It's very rockabilly goth.

[@kristinebennett8640]

Mayumi is so cute! Of course, I adore my gothic crush- the Handsome King of the Gothic Lords; VOLTAIRE!!

[@anidiotplays26]

At a dollar store near me I was able to find this beautiful realistic skull that had alchemy symbols carved into it

[@ceruleanvoyager1847]

I loved the cauldron mug

[@RainbowManatee]

My spirit halloween had little to none of the gothic noir line, I was so sad ;-; red and black is my jam

[@Violet-qf8dr]

That red lace skull tablecloth was lovely. We checked out our Spirit at the end of September and it was very empty in the home decor section.

[@pinkyhodgkins2185]

I can't get enough of your videos! You do such a thorough job on the actual content, and the dialogue / editing is so wonderfully put together. Thank you for all of your effort!

[@allizbest]

These videos are always DEADlightful. Thanks for holding strong all these years gothdad

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

yes! cannot wait! 👻👻👻🖤

[@SassyMa_]

I don't know about anyone else but I love your dad Jokes! Also Im still ticked that you were here in Denver and I missed you again this year!! One day! I love your little women she is adorable and Mexican like myself!!

[@megustajohnny]

Yo ame los fruticraneos, son raros como yo 😍😍😍 me encantatias en mi cocina

[@littleapplepieme7871]

If we had these kind of stuff here in Brazil, they would be much, much expensive hahaha, its sad, but true

[@lo9012]

Candy Claws stockings! Or tree topper

[@KiaBlocker-ig3ws]

WOW HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS THIS YEAR I'M GOING TO DECORATION THE HOUSE WITH MY SISTER IN LAW.

[@vrose23]

That’s my local Michael’s too, and it was so disappointing compared to previous years. That store usually has multiple aisles of Halloween decor and craft supplies but when I went there was only a little bit in the very back of the store.

[@thornmallow1]

Hi Mr.Voltaire! They have those skeleton bowls from Joann’s at Ross for $9.99-$14.99. The same Made in India serving bowls.

[@princebloodgrave8097]

Wal-Mart had some good stuff, this year. :D

[@LynnTRoman]

I got the metal brain and skull molds from Joanne’s. I made jello brains and skulls for my kids.

[@TheOriginalMarimoChan]

The BEST witch cauldron of this year was from Target. It was a HUGE metal food-safe cauldron by Threshold priced at $30.00 and a steal for that price. Problem is, it's quite large and you have to store it away until next Halloween, unless you're like me and can leave it out all year-round!

[@boxerdogsmom]

I use a cauldron as a yarn bowl for my yarn when I crochet 🖤🐾💀

[@audreygarnsdorff5369]

Your fiance is adorable and you make a lovely couple 💀☠️🌇🎃(appropriate scary emojis)

[@nancypetersen5313]

I love all the things you have shown and have been a fan of yours early 2000's . You inspired me to fly my goth flag fly free . I know you may have not thought about it but I found some wonderful gothy delights at Dollar General ! They had poison bottles and plaques , towels, dishes , and trinkets galore . Just a suggestion. I am working on redecorating my upstairs ( my Boyfriend is not impressed ) So thank you so so much for your delightful ideas !Love you and your beautiful Lady ( scared I will butcher her name )

[@Violet-qf8dr]

I got the crystal ball Wallflower by Bath and Body Works this year. I had to get it from a reseller on EBay though. Grrr... The seller had already sold 20 of them and had 4 more available. I got birthday money in September, so I used that to pay double the retail price. I really love it, so I would have to say it was worth it, but I wish I could have just purchased it at the store.WTF, people?

[@joshuaconsolino2707]

Man your the only Goth I've ever known to go to Florida especially Kissimmee where I used to live.

[@NowIBored]

I am so jealous, all the stores in my area didn't put out half as much as what you showed.

[@laurettadelmar2781]

These videos give me life. I want you guys as my adoptive goth parents. You’re so good together

[@bananafairy59]

I was at that Kissimmee Joann's about a week before you were (according to your instagram, at least) and they had a lot more stuff, but here in Orlando you have to race to fight the other Halloween Horror Nights lovers and Spooky Empire creeps to get the good stuff. I can't believe the difference from one week to another! Those supply chain issues are the real deal this year. That Michaels never had anything good this year, though. The other Kissimmee Michaels had more stuff, but still wasn't as good as the stuff you showed in your michaels that was closer to home.

[@theguest4516]

When I've been doing shopping and meeting others who love Halloween I've been talking you up and sending people your way!!! They've been very excited to hear about you and what you do!!! Hope it helps!!! Also mentioned your materials that you sell!!! As always take care and have fun!!! 👻☠️👻 😷😎😷

[@theguest4516]

Target bombed in Canada!!! They suck!!! 😱👻😱

[@theguest4516]

Nebula make black bathroom fixtures!!! Shower heads, etc...

[@ericachapman1737]

I saw that double Skelton the other day and thought of gothic home making! Next year get the app there's always 50% off one item! We went to target two weeks ago and Halloween wasn't out yet the boxes were sitting in the aisles unpacked same with micheals!!

[@NekoAiray]

I am living/dying for Mayumi's earrings!

[@KazzieBB]

I'm surprised he didnt talk about the bbw bat sanitizer holder.

[@culinarygurly987]

Voltaire here with the dad puns of a deeper darker quality. Loving it. Also wondering if you still have the Brain Slice from that episode of Oddities that you were on??? We tend to wait until Spirit Holloweens start to close up and mark down stuff all over the store to find stuff I can partially diy

[@Mokiefraggle]

I'm surprised to see a Michael's so under-stocked. Then again, I feel like my local one just kept their actual Halloween merchandise section kinda small, which made it seem fuller? All I know is, there was an _alarming_ amount of leopard print Halloween merchandise at mine, a fair bit of pastel goth Halloween and vintage spooky, and very little holdover from the Enchanted Forest and Gothic Garden collections I was looking for. There surprisingly were very few (if any!) leftover yoga skeletons here, but it seemed like a lot of stuff only ever showed up as ones or twos of any particular thing. Like the weird goblincore/vulture-culture deer skull in the light-up cloche. I figured there might be more coming when I saw one on the shelf, and decided to think on it a bit before dropping money on it, only to miss out entirely! They _did_ have some pretty decent ceramic cauldrons (albeit without handles, so a small tick against them), in a matte finish that makes them look impressively like cast iron. Very nice, very subtle and elegant in their simplicity. I'm impressed at your Target haul, though. I wouldn't have expected classy Halloween tableware from them, especially given the fruity skulls.

[@marshmallowbee]

The puns 🤣💖

[@nataliag147]

Finally someone take a close look on items and show everything :) great video!

[@darktwistedwitch]

This was such a great episode!! I couldn't comment on the livestream so much cause the wifi was cutting in and out, but still a great episode and a great haul!!

[@dianagriebenow2520]

Hello! I love halloween and celebrate it big every year. Thanks to amazon and ebay I can also buy such beautiful and creepy decorations. In germany we don't have this great a long way.

[@Litafaerie]

Wow I thought it was just my Michael's that was a bust. But seems like a lot of people had problems finding Halloween.

[@just_sum_punk]

PRECIOSO! Man. Your videos always delight, Voltaire. Does Mayumi know that she's gonna be a goth mom when you guys tie the knot? I'm looking forward to this simply because she can't choose a singular favorite. Only multiples hahah Also JOANN HAS COUPONS. YOU GOTTA UP YOUR COUPON GAME, DAD. Lol I loved all the puns. Have a great day

[@enviropirate1]

I love my Globlin!

[@mizzmartinni6014]

It would be awesome if you did a collection and be feature in one of this stores!!!!! I would run to see and buy !!

[@roonieh9619]

So glad you uploaded! 🎃 👻 🦇 I looooved it!

[@signor_zuzzu]

Happy Halloween boils and ghouls

[@jinxabyss1484]

Loved your music in bill Mandy and grim

[@cybercat29]

I just LOVE the Halloween stuff you are able to find 🦇🎃👻

[@tattastrophicwitch6337]

I have that same black skull soap dispenser you’re gonna love it!

[@williamkidney6031]

The Michael's here in my town was pretty well stocked I found some good stuff. But target was pretty barren

[@roddmatsui3554]

I love spooky things and Halloween, and your decorations and lighting effects are fantastic! You really create a whole other world with your lighting atmospherics, and you place fluorescent items under the black light to get unique nuances. That and some stereo sound effects makes a fun Halloween, I’m thinking. :) 💜🎃

[@jamesjohnston1935]

Because 10/31 is also Nevada day (state holiday) Las Vegas stores and residents really go all out for Halloween.

[@alexzanderschwieger9938]

Can't wait

[@ScarletCandlelight]

So wish I could see you wile in FL but am living in a tent right now thanks to covid so no money to go. But one day want to see you preform in person man.

[@Imhotepsdad]

It's Halloween today guys/girls Happy Halloween to you Voltaire ,and to everyone. I hope you have a great day today voltaire

[@LadyRavenMoon72]

The fruity and veggie skulls look more like fish aquarium decor.💀

[@ljtlove4519]

Wonderful tour! You guys are soooo cute!

[@-RONNIE]

You both are so funny 🤣 & did pick some nice items. I think it's been a couple years before the pandemic that stores is been lacking for me or I just can't find very few things I like. Have a great & safe scary spooky day coming up 🖤🍷💀⚰️👻🦇🎃
