Thread: GEMMY Halloween Website Up

Tweet

Heads up. Gemmy's Halloween website is up finally!! Gemmy

It's different from last year's so far in that right now I'm not seeing a list of retail places that are carrying the different items. I hope they will add the list so you know where to find a particular item.

Actually, the website if very different than it was a few months ago. Gone right now is the Christmas lighting and the area for Support on products. I actually was trying to get some info for someone on the forum and so went to the website and was surprised to see Halloween and shocked that the support was gone. I hope they add that area back too. Obviously the website has recently been updated so maybe they are still working on other parts of it before uploading it. At least now you can see what the 2009 offerings are.

thanks for the heads up what a let down compared to prior years , and no their not gonna make a web site like they use to have i have asked them 1-2 moths ago and wore told they would not do a web site like that anymore .....before they showed where you could find these items and showed alot more items too .....sometimes cutting out on that kind of publicity is not the best way to go ......

I think they should tell people where to get their products. If you see something, and you want it, you want to know where to find it. I can guarnatee that in any food store, they are going to have Lucky Charms cereal. The same is not true with these Halloween products. If I want let's say the Freddy animatronic they had at Walgreens last year, I can't guarnatee they are going to have it at Lowe's, Wal-Mart, Meijer, and so on because those stores have Halloween.

So, not telling people that want your products where they are to me means you could easily have less business. If someone wants one of those figures, and they have no clue where to find it in a store, they are going to give up, and not buy it. Thus, that means the store is going to have more stuff leftover, and say well people went to the Gemmy site, and they won't tell those people that we have there product over here, and they aren't buying it, so let's not buy from Gemmy anymore, and get another animatronic company in our store.

A lot of the times for me, it's the stuff I want that I can't find. I know it's out there, but I have no idea where it's at. I'm not really impressed with the stuff on Gemmy's website, and I seen of the other stuff already, but still.

Does anyone know who else makes animatronics? Who made the Face Ripper, Heads Up Harry, and the other 2 animatronics at Walgreens this year? I want to know what else they make, and wondering what company they are.

I liike Gemmy, lets see if they have anything I want..

OH SNAP..Gemmy makes the eyeball jar I mentioned in the "show off your purcahses thread"..it's at the Walmart Superstore..picking this up for sure..

Take One is a company that made the kicking legs prop that I purchased last season ($50 retail at BIG LOTS). They do some halloween things but they really don't have much of a website either.

Take One

Truth of the matter is Gemmy is still the big play in the halloween market, but their real market is the retailers they sell to.

I was in Target today and saw some of the resin busts that they had. Not sure who their manufacturer is. I bought one or two last year from Target and boy, this year's stuff is so lightweight and flimsy compared to last year and also a lot smaller too. I was very disappointed in some of the quality I saw.

We can all email Gemmy and say we liked the product finder they had on last year's website and would like to see it back. I'm sure it's a lot more labor intense to update the site with all the vendor info for all the products they make (there were a ton of products on the site last year and not so many this year), and it appears everyone is trying to keep costs down in this economy and let's face it haunters aren't splurging as much this year either. In any event I liked that particular website feature Gemmy had last year a lot.

anyone use that projector with a fog machine? Walmart has those for 25.00 near me.

Wow, that's a pretty crappy website...

I like the witch with the misting cauldron, the haunted books, and the lighted scary face pumpkin...now I just need to find a rich American online boyfriend..who'll buy me them and ship them to the U.K. lol

Well if I wasnt already married to someone from Manchester........

Her relatives buy me stuff all the time I cant find here in the states (like crunchie bars mmmmmm or HP sauce). I just paypal the funds to them and they ship it to me.
