Thread: First Halloween sighting in stores...

Your right I'll probaly wear him out before the big night and I'm sure he'll need new batteries by then. Yeah I don't think Gemmy makes them anymore with this nice heavy resin thats built to last like this haunted Mummy plaque.

We have two of the stirring cauldron witches in our lowes, its in Southern Maryland if anybody is curious

PS,...Oh forgot to mention I think I'll put the Mummy Plaque in my Sharp teeth fish hut (or Gar Shack I keep changing the name...) because its a walk through shack (kinda like a cover bridge) single file only on our backyard trail so he should trip well in there as sensors go.

i got an email from oriental trading post with their new halloween decorations. there are a few things i like there.

It's been a little while since I saw the shack but how about something like a sign that says "monsters of the deep" and go with that theme...maybe it will inspire some new props?... I could see walking through the shack as an introduction to a prop scene "room" beyond that.

You know I could see creating very lightweight props around a hollow space inside in which you could insert helium-filled balloon/s which would be tied to a weight on the ground using nylon string (clear). The prop would appear to float in the air (water) of the deep. Add some of those Clip on LED lights from Dollar Tree (colorized with colored markers--there's a thread under props about this) and that would look great. Man I really like this last idea of mine! I'm going to have to use it myself but YOU Bozz inspired it!

Couldn't find any of those hands and feet or footprint clings at our Dollar Tree. But they did have some nice glittered skulls for $1. Silver, Black and white. I'm going to mount them on a stick and display them at varying heights on a mantle.

well...was looking at ebay and found what looks like a new version of the stirring cauldron witch, I love her, but the guys price >< owch. Ive never seen it before, and the pics he has looks like he bought it at a large store, maybe like a costco type.

Aaaahhh I like it. You know I have 2 signs on the shack now.....one from Dollar tree with the fish creature hands like on your picture account "enter at your own risk" and the other sign says " beware of little monsters" . But hey I do have the Mummy-fied (sp?) real Gar fish (all dried out and painted like a stuffed taxidemy fish) in there so the Mummy plaque may just work with the theme......ok I'm really streching the theme a bit but I do think I can tie it all together. I really love the swamp theme. Good thinking !!! Only wish I had a pond to go with it.

Our local Halloween Express Halloween Costumes and Costume Accessories for Adults, Teens and Kids. here in Atlanta just opened today. I bought a really cool changing portrait with plastic frame for $16.99. These guys are pretty good. Not as good as the Spirit shops which open usually after Labor Day but still pretty good. Both shops let me put up signs for our haunted house.

HALLOWEEN IS HERE !!!!!!
