Just a heads up that Victoria and Helsa are now available to order for 2014. Not due to ship until 8/11. Both are $89.
Here's a link to GrandinRoad's Halloween Haven section. While on the site sometimes they have some goodies under the Outlet/Halloween section so be sure to check that area as well. Sometimes it seems like stuff is duplicated, but not always.
Yes - it's amazing the upcharge for shipping to Canada. Luckily I live close enough to the U.S. border that I can have stuff delivered to a business in Sumas, Washington that gives Canadians a US mailing address. I just drive down when it arrives, they charge a flat fee of $5.00 a package and i take it home over the border. I've rarely been charged duty at the crossing and even on big items, it was less than $20.00.
Years ago I wanted to buy the haunted forest door surround, which was at the time $150.00 The cost to ship to Canada was $175.00
I ordered it and had it shipped to Sumas - cost me $5.00 to pickup and no duty charges. The box it came in was huge! I've ordered several things from
Grandin Road this way too.
Thankfully, I got Helsa on super sale last year. Looks like they have all the stuff they had last year still on the site but not much is on sale. I'd love the Headless Dancing Couple but they're still $300 on sale!!
i got the dancing couple last year on sale...imo way over priced at the sale price and they are small scale...cute but not for 300, now beetlejuice was way worth the sale price..
GR seems to be restocking (or rather preselling) a few items in Halloween Haven and FREE SHIPPING sitewide until midnight tonight, June 9th!
(*the free shipping does not include oversized items, so just double check that before you buy)
Thanks Hilda for your post. I missed the free shipping! I Need that wicked candle holder, haha.... need it
also want to get the bats round table cloth. I had the wicked candle holder in my cart for $14 last year when it was on sale and couldnt get my order to go through! I hinted at Mothers Day that this is what I wanted but I think my family doesn't have the same Halloween brain as me and thought it wouldn't be a proper Mothers Day gift, haha.... I don't mind paying the $40 for it but hate to pay shipping, ill keep trying til I get it
Me too . . . that is one ***** in hubs armor--he simply will not buy me Halloween stuff. I think he's tired of hearing about it but that's what I really like silly man! Oh well . . . it could be worse. Lol.
i am laughing also.. abt the cost of that pillow when you can get the fabric and stuffing for under 10.00.. you could even hand stitch those while watching your fave halloween movie and it wouldnt even been work... just becareful with that needle and the visa.... yep.. that was just great!!!!
Sookie, I have Victoria and I LOVE her. I put her on my porch in October during the week and on the weekends I take her out and put her in the yard. I'm always talking to her Like a lunatic! You won't regret your purchase!
Checked GrandinRoad's Facebook page for last year and saw that they first started with their Halloween postings on Friday, June 21, 2013. And here it is June 12. Getting close....
ghost of spooky, can you edit your post in the NO1 post on this thread so everyone can have easy access to the grandin road link. you did it last year. thanks.
2012 I bought a lot of props from grandin road. I loved them all. there was only one I wanted that I did not get. that was the stone lady. one of the props I got was gitania. I loved her. I never took her out of the box. 2013 I took her out of the box, I plugged her in, and she worked about 10 to 15 minutes, and she went bad. she still is quite a striking static prop, but even so, she is cooler if she worked. I am doing a fortune teller room this year, so I will display her. I don't know, there were quite a few props grandin road put out last year that I really liked, but I went towards the Halloween spirit store instead. I got the swinging zombie girl, and the jumping spider. and I also got a prop from improvements catalog after Halloween I can't wait to use this year. it is a vampire. I already have a mummy, and a laughing corpse from them. looking forward to seeing what gets displayed this year from all the stores.

thanks ghost of spooky. I'm glad they let you. just thought I would mention they have the skeleton dog and the zombie dog both in stock right now. I know a lot of haunters were seeking them last year.
if you go to the outlet finale, they have some decent sales. the candy witch is on sale for $39.00. and the headless boy is on sale for $24.00. they are both cool items I think.
Someone on their Facebook site asked them when Halloween would appear and they said to look for it to start appearing over the next few weeks. Looks like they decided to start earlier...maybe because people started asking. The black boned kitty is very reminescent of last year's layouts with Bonez and The Headless Horseman where they appeared unexpectedly in a normal product display. Love their playful nature. Really does have you checking back regularly.
As for the black boned cat, looks interesting. I know someone on the forum has already posted info on other Bonez related animals they were coming out with. Guessing this might be from the same company. Think I saw pictures of both white and black boned props on their website. The black would look nice silhoutted but probably would be lost in a haunt if not set up with proper lighting. I ordered the screaming animated feral cat we thought GR was going to be stocking last year from HalloweenAsylum a few months back. I really like the cat and the motioned triggered effects. If someone is considering adding just one cat to their scene, I'd recommend checking the feral one out on HA's site and playing the video of it before you need to make an ordering decision of a cat at GR. They're different from each other on a few levels but i can't tell you how exciting it is to have pet props like this to chose from!
In case the cat has peaked your interest and you missed Kreppy.Kevin's thread on the Bonez skeleton props in the Prop Section back in May (thanks again Kevin), here's a link to the company he bought his skeleton creatures from. Doubt GR will offer all of these but it's nice to know what's out there.
thanks for the link ghost of spooky. I see they have the black boned cat on their site. it's cool, but I prefer the yellow ones. the dog, cat, and bird would all be cool to have. I have a spider skeleton.
