Just A Hello From Another Halloween Fanatic!

**propstar7** · 07-16-2011,01:11 PM

Hi! I've looked around here before, and have finally decided to join. I have loved Halloween all my life- mostly for the decorations. I love the life-size and high quality props made by the likes of Gemmy and Tekky Toys. (I signed up pretty much for the sole purpose of posting in the props section.) While I'm introducing myself, I figured I'd list some of my most notable props- static and animated:

-1.)Demon Torso (this was my first prop- pretty old at this point, but not uncommon to see) about $80

2.) 5 ft. Hanging Vampire- I've never actually seen another one of these, but I'm pretty sure he is made by Forum Props. He has a black robe with shiny purple collar and neck trim, with an open fanged mouth spattered with blood that appears to be dripping onto a bib-like white ruffled cloth around his neck. He has white eyes outlined with black, and red fin-like things coming out from the corners of his eyes. I call him Victor. Got him 50% off for $60

3.)3-ish ft possessed girl- Made by Don-Post, sometimes called Dead Debbie- Very detailed. Paid $70. (I'm wondering if the one I have is the same as the one I've seen online for like $375). See attachment for picture I found.

4.)Dummy holding knife (Chip)- Same size and mfr as above. on sale for about $25- have seen online for $350!? (See attachment for pic- face looks slightly different than mine, but definitely the same thing.)

5.)Clown holding knife (Stabbo)- Same size and mfr as above. Again- sale for around $25, and again- seen him online for around $400!? The picture attached is the one used on the website selling him for 400, which looks a little different than mine. Also, I know Spirit/Spencer's had him a few years back, and the store I bought him at had had him years before that. If anyone could fill me in on any variation that justifies the price gap or appearance difference, please let me know.

6.)"Green Ghost"- 5ft, hanging, I'm pretty sure its made by Don Post, has an open mouth, skeletal face, and thin blonde hair. Very well made- heavy duty foam upper torso. (Original retail where I bought her was $400, I paid $100.)

7.)6ft Gemmy fat butler- finally found him on eBay a couple years ago after first seeing this guy. Rare, I think. He was $145

8.)6ft Gemmy talking/eyes light up witch. (One of the cheap ones that fit in very small boxes, on sale for $20 at stop &shop a few years ago)

9.)Tekky Toys Resurrection Mary from Spirit Halloween last year. $80 with coupon.

10.)TT Tombstone Lifter

11.)TT Grave Bustin' Skull -cool prop for 50% off price of $25

That's it! If anyone bothered to read to this point in the post, it would be greatly appreciated if some experts out there could post pictures if I haven't already attached them (so I know you know what I'm talking about) and give me some background on #1-6 on this list, that would be really cool.

Bye for now.
