2012 Official Thread "I Love A Good Yard Sale And Thrift Store Find!!"

**Mr. Gris** · 12-31-2011,08:40 AM

Thats right Ladies and Gents it is time once again for the new thread to begin. I know I am a day early and all but I found a couple items that I will use for next year and snapped a pic before they went into storage. So as you ghosts and goblins find things through the year go ahead and post them into this thread

I found a Blinky made Pumpkin blow mold and a General Foam made Frankenstien blow mold at an estate sale today. These should go great with the others. Happy New Year!!

Nice finds Gris..haven't found any halloween related items but did pick up a 1979 Mork and Mindy board game today for a buck!

Nanu, Nanu... thats scary enough for my book deadna. Gris Have to say, those are some pretty nice finds. A little bit of paint and he will look awesome in a house haunt. I used to like blowmolds outside but I'm really leaning toward the indoor application of blowmolds in side the home for that Kitchy feel. Out side I go for the All Our Terror factor.

Came across a box of vintage dental supplies for casting teeth.

Dentists creep me out. Lol. So I suppose $20 was a great deal for this box of terror. Whats even creepier is this.... Wasn't long before I realized there was one odd ball item that just doesn't belong here.
Ladies I suggest you steer clear of the dentist that owned these supplies.

Not sure if I'll cast teeth or just build something weird outta them. I'll keep ya in the loop. :P

Above is about as scary as it gets for me--gives me the shivers just thinking about it!

**Patrick** · 01-04-2012,12:20 PM

I think casting teeth would be a great Idea... As for the Odd ball Item Why not Use it to fashion a monster with a Bill... Kind of like the old Daffy Duck cartoon where he drinks the Jeckyll and Hyde potion... Give it some Fangs and cover it with Paper Mache or something.... Got to put a servo in it though so it opens and shuts. I could come up with a million haunt ideas for just that one Item. And those doctors probably never consider the possibilities. LOL

I made my first official blow mold finds of the year today: a small TPI pumpkin and a top hat pumpkin man for $1.96 each at Salvation Army. With a start like that, I think it's going to be a good year for plastics!

SELL THEM TO ME!!! ME ME ME ME ME MMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Seriously, how do you find this stuff?! I just missed a bunch of old dental stuff at an estate sale last week but judging by the pictures I saw too late, the group wasn't anywhere near as cool as what you just found.
