2 bar stools. $5 for the pair.


(how is a bar stool Halloween? well, watch the props section and you may find out...)

Just got three of those for free just by asking for Halloween stuff at a garage sale.

Might have a lead for a life sized Frankenstein if this other seller pulls it out of storage and calls me.

Yo. I know I haven't posted much lately, but I'm still around...just with finals and all that fun stuff. ...so to blow off steam I went a little crazy on ebay tonight...



(plus a corded light so I can throw it in there ...oh and I'm sure that I'll find something else to do with it, fake blood or whatnto)

Head in a Jar

...a Brain in a Jar



Skull Fountain

....and that's it....oh except for one item...



A COUNTDOWN CLOCK! ...now if only it looked Halloweenish.

...if anybody else has any suggestions for some more random props feel free to send me a PM at some cool stuff to look into.

Also, just FYI, at LEAST one of these items will be going to someone when we do the Halloween swap this year.

you guys, those are some good finds. sid, good luck on that frankie. post pics if you get lucky. i ask at garage sales too. never had any luck halloweenish that way. have had luck in the doll department though once. and they just gave them to me too.

I got the Frankenstein monster. He is 50" and green. He dances and sings "I will survive". He was a good find.

I posted a comment on another thread about this. I managed to secure a vintage Elvira 'Coors Light' Inflatable promo thingy. It still appears to be in near mint condition. I think the previous owner used tape in a few key places to help secure it. The tape is gone, but like I said, there's still a bit of sticky residue left over. I plan on using some 'goo gone' and that SHOULD do the trick...

Other than that it 's in great shape considering these things came out around '94 or '95. There's eve a plug on the bottom to add sand or water to help weigh it down. In addition, I intend to take extra extra special care to secure this treasure. I've had troubles in the past with anything inflatable, despite my best efforts. It gets VERRRRRRRY windy around here...

She has a one of those 'cube' cases of Coors Light in her 'hands' the case is 3-dimensional and actually has to be inflated separately as it has its' own plug. Since I don't want parents and neighbors to think I'm encouraging the TOTs to become alcoholics, I thought I'd use an old black lace shawl to cover the cube.

Then I thought that I might place something on top of it, like maybe one of those skull-shaped 'fog-misters'. the problem there may be in keeping it from falling off, depending on how heavy it is. I might have to settle for a blucky skull with some led lights inside it instead...

Anyway, I got it on e*bay a week ago, for about $50 bucks plus about$15 for shipping. This was very lucky,as the condition aside, these tend to spark fierce bidding wars whenever they appear. This is the only listing I've seen all year, like I said, I REALLY lucked out that no one else seemed to notice the auction...

hey thom, can you post a pic? i would love to see it.
bob, i still don't see the mystery pic.
sid, you got a pic?

Will post soon, maybe before larry gets done posting the mascot entries, maybe not...
