To make it feasable I would have to get them in larger quantities elsewhere, but Micheals had thes little bags of cut off fingers. They were very realistic looking, with blood and bone and even a ring on the ring finger. I trhought about having them in a bag where the TOTS couldnt see what you were giving them, just slip them into thier candy bags in the dark. Get a real buzz going around the neighborhood as all the children discuss the fingers they found in thier bags. I have to discuss my ideas like this here, as my significant other just had no appreciation for the idea. She was concerned the cops might have to investigate,lol.

I'm sure that even the local cops can tell a rubber finger from a real one.
Probably most of the kids as well. I doubt there would be much of an investigation.
You may get a good reaction fom some as they open their bags in the light for the first time, however.
I think it's a great idea! Even better would be to get some that twitch, but that may be asking too much!

I think that would be kewl, & most of the kids would probably love it, however I'm sure some parent would get ALL bent out of shape that it was some "sicko's" weird sense of humor & that they're kids are not safe........
(some people left they're sense of humor under they're shoe of doggie poop...)
At the very least you might have a organization group outside your house protesting inhumane abuse of maniquins !!

I think that's a fantastic idea!!!

I would hope that the vast majority of parents would realize it's all in the spirit of Halloween. I mean they don't get bent out of shape when their kids see these great yard haunts or when they let them dress up like Jason, Michael, Freddy or any other creepy horror film icon?
I mean, what's a plastic severed finger among TOT's during Halloween?
Although if you wanted to keep it less "edgy" so to speak, use thea idea scavengerhaunt had and tie the candy that is being given to the finger as well...then there's no mistake about the novelty of it.
Personally, I LOVE this idea...how festive!
I came here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. I'm all out of bubble gum.

"Normal" people just don't get us, do they? I think it's great - Oriental Trading had gummi (candy) versions of this that looked pretty realistic. The kids could walk up to mom & dad after TOTg, gnawing on one, with a casual "'sup?" Imagine the look on the folks' faces!
