how about no more unscary items like the poorly painted Lector or the brides groom etc or vampires or headless dull items, I'd like to see a redone Freddy or Leatherface, maybe a Frankenstein that doesnt sing monster mash--Im not 12 anymore the song is dull! maybe a creature from the Black Lagoon or a lifelike zombie, i dont know who made the soul reaper but i think that and the Gemmy M Meyers were the best animatronics of last year,they need to improve on quality and imagination in their products, thats just my opinon

Gemmy makes these products cheeply and in big quantities, they are geared for and marketed for the general public to easily buy ,and to use in a non scary haunted yard and what is the mike myers but a singing frankie with a horror soundtrack and a horror figure. these figures can be changed by hacking them I personally dont know how to do it but I bet someone on this forum does. with all the resourses on this site making somthing more appropriate for your haunt may be more worth your time and money, I think they are overpriced junk but thats my oppinion .

Actualy, I am glad there is such a company like this. I don't think many people can afford thousands dollars props or make some from scracht. I don't think people had props like this when I was young too. And maybe depending what big horror movie is playing in the year in theatres does influence them. With the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street coming out this year, I think we will see lots of Freddies this halloween. (Sadly, I HATE the new freddy look!).
I think we should be happy we have a huge company that makes somewhat cheap but cool halloween props. (just my opinion)

I would love to see a good, life size 1931 Boris Karloff Frankenstein.....

i dont have a problem with props being "cheap" its looking cheap or breaking thats an issue i have, I'd like to see a scary, realistic and lifelike Freddy

No offense but most of the Gemmy LifeSize props suck now. It's not just because they are cheap but it's more of them not being scary or realistic. It's kind of sad we spend $100.00 + dollars on a prop that says three lines and moves it head from side to side. They probably only take $20.00 bucks to make.

Anyway sorry for the rant I forgot to include a few things. I think for 2010 they should try and make it more appealing. I think a zombie figure or even something like Bloody Mary would be cool. I wonder if they will do Ghost Face from Scream?

Do you suppose there is a licensing issue/or fees with these "name brand" monsters that would add to the costs of making these? I would rather have a generic zombie that we can inhance if we want to than pay extra for the others. I would really like it if it just had a realistic growl and maybe said "braaaaiiins"

yes a ghost face from scream should be easy and relatively inexpensive it could raise a knife holding hand and say "do you like scary movies"

I would like to see a generic zombie, but nothing along the lines of brains. Think about how much gaming is now playing a role on society, what won at the VGA's. Left 4 Dead 2, imagine a psycho zombie that screams and jerks. Not slowly move and say "bbbbbbrrrraaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnssss"
