Thread: What Did You Buy This Season?

Tweet

What did you buy this season? How will you incorporate it into your haunt? Post here!

I got the Regan (Excorcist) prop from Spirit Halloween along with the 666 sign and some fence to put up along my graveyard. From Party City I got a head on a stake and the escaping animated zombie. I also got a couple new tombstones from Micheals.

[I'm going to have Regan in my upstairs window above my porch, looking down on the trick or treaters. I will have a light shining on her so they can see her shake and her head spin around. Should be very creepy!]

I bought a new sheet of foam insulation and a gallon of drylock And an owl candle holder

Breathing grave prop, more funkins (carved myself), 5 high end tombstones. Have two three axis skulls that lack a routine. I need to get that going, maybe stick them in a box if I can get them to work.

What I've kept...three Halloween 16x20 artwork prints, one 16x20 wood frame (I'll rotate the pictures as the mood strikes me), 4 strings of lights to replace the lighting on my animated tree prop, two witch candlestick pillars, two different headless horseman statues, one resin lighted pumpkin, one spider made of orange bells, two magnetic wreath hangers, one Halloween lantern with silhouette scenes on the glass sides, one resin witch, one detailed haunted house candle, 12 LED tea lights, one string of battery operated purple LEDs, one 8' 3 outlet extension cord, one package of 7 different cookie cutters, 4 Halloween place mats, one ceramic lighted pumpkin, one 3-dimensional aged wrought iron pumpkin, and two packages of creepy cloth.

What I'm still hoping for on sale....LED light strings, 5 candle candelabra, and cloth witch's legs.

What I've returned after buying...one resin pumpkin in hat on stand, seven boxes of Halloween vase fillers, one resin WELCOME tombstone, 2 boxes of string lights, and one 12' 3 outlet extension cord.

What I'm probably selling if find a buyer...three little resin gargoyles, six little resin gravestones, and one small little haunted house for a tealight.

I'm trying to make sure as space becomes limited that whatever I buy I really want, and a couple things didn't make the cut after sitting around the home for awhile. A few past years purchases are also going to have to find a new home. Heck, even though I'm restringing that animated tree, I might even sell it as I really don't have the storage room.

Wayyy to much. Since we changed the look of our cemetery. I got
4 skeletons
Victoria from Grandin Rosd
A spell casting witch from Grandin Road
A werewolf from Grandin Road
A crawling zombie from Spirit Halloween
A jumping spider from Spirit Halloween
Flying bats and hanging vampire bats.
zombie dog
Rats, birds from dollar store
Some skulls, tea lights, spotlights, led clip on lights
Ceramic Halloween serving dishes
And if you count what we did all year not just the last couple of months
lots of foamboard, drylock, joint compound, paint, brushes, tools ( dremel, saws, wire cutters, heatgun)
fencing
3 Bluckies
Resurection Mary from Spirit Halloween right after Halloween last year

#1--what the HELL are 'bluckies'???

#2- I bought a life size skeleton from Grandin...he's going to be my dead pirate in the sailor room downstairs...i bought a bottle of crystal head vodka....a new tombstone...assorted small odds and ends. I'm waiting for my automatic broom and skullpile candleholder from Grandin also. It doesn't sound like lots but I managed to spend lots of money...lol.
