Nope. They have ones from what I'm assuming is their own brand this time around, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since they cost much less.

Their skeleton butler's voice kind of sounds like Patrick Stewart, who voices Avery Bullock on American Dad and played Capt. Picard on Star Trek:TNG, which I find amusing

Patrick Stewart also played Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" The butler looks like an undead Scrooge, with the Hat and suit. LOL

Very cool.

This year Michaels has a new version of the Gemmy witch. She has the same face as in the past, but the mouth does not move and the backlit, flashing eyes are stationary. The head also moves right to left. There is no other movement. She is holding a bag for candy. Michael's price is $49. They honor the Jo-Anne's 40% coupon on non-sale items, so time it right and she's $30.

Some humanitarian is offering this Gemmy for $159.00!!! on ebay. I sent him a nasty email asking him if really expected that anyone who plugged this witch in at home would be satisfied with their purchase.

Idiot.

Hey guys, just dropping in because I found a $5 gargoyle halloween decoration in ROSS today. It's at least 15 inches high, not bad at all for $5! They also had some really nice halloween pillows for cheap.
I think I saw a sparkly skull too, but with a bow. It looked awful.

I went to a $5 store last week and stocked up on their cheap decorations. Lots of signs, plastic weapons with fake blood in them, skeleton decorations, and the little black crows. Michaels had the exact same skeleton decorations but $5 more!

Tumblinedice...Dont give up the Hunt, I called another Homegoods this past Friday, It was the 5th store in the Metro Detroit area, and one I havent called before, THEY HAD HIM! I was stuck home with two kids and a baby, so I called my wife, she left work and got him for me, she opened up a credit card and saved 10% as well. I am guessing the other 4 stores in the Detroit area will be getting him this week.
The Scaretaker is a truely amazing prop, this price will be the best deal of the 2009 season.
Hang in there, your persistence will pay off!
You will be next!

Very nice! Congrats!

My dollar tree has gotten in more. There are several signs, but they're very thin plastic. They look and feel cheap.
