Thread: Sweet thrift store find!

Tweet

Hey guys, i just got back from the family thrift, and look what i found! Its the infamous Scary "mooing" Ghost. I was hesitant to pick it up seeing that it was missing the battery cover, but i'm glad i got it. It works perfectly, its just kind of dirty. And the best part, it was only TWO bucks. Now i just need to hack it a little to make it more scary! Any ideas?

Cool. Hmm....maybe splatter some blood on it? lol

mouth is fine but those eyes! they say happy and it looks likehes offering hugs haha!! definitly some blood!!

haha! you're totally right! IDK, i might add a whole new body, or at least change up the face!

This just made my morning, LMFAO!!

Lots of options with a prop like this. Cool find, and a great price too!

maybe redo the body with some cheese cloth draped over a skull?

I just looked at one of these at big lots today and it was $16. Good score! I was thinking about buying one and taking the entire ghost sheathing off. I thought about just covering it with the cheese cloth lke stuff that you can buy at the dollar stores for $1. Using the dark colors underneath then using a light color on top. Im not sure it even needs a face.

I totally would cut that ghost off and use something like coat hangers and cheese cloth to make a better ghost. I used a hollow styrofoam skull in my FCG that was super light and something like that would be really cool to make fly on the zip line. You could use the coat hangers to make an extended armature to drape the cheesecloth and maybe it would all be light enough to work? Or what about an inflated black balloon for the head area? Drape over that it would be practically invisible in the dark...

Nice idea, Frankie's Girl. I actually went back to the sore and got a "tulle" curtain panel for half off (1.00). Funny thing though, it has butterflies and flowers on it, Hopefully i can cut them off!. Im thinking of doing something like this,

Any ideas on how to do it?

I bought TWO of these last week at Biglots... for $15 each. So, GREAT score!!! I was planning to alter mine some how. But everytime I turn it on, I laugh so hard that I'll probably leave one of them that way. The danged thing is Hilarious!!!
