The stores are just starting to bring stock out this week. I went to a dollar store and bought goody bags, trays, orange bulbs and some plastic eyeballs. We don't have a lot of cash to spend so we will building our prop supply slowly. I bookmarked all the links for future purchases.

Thanks,

Has anybody tried Spencer's. They have them in the malls in Calgary. I was there this weekend and they were putting all the Halloween stuff out. Its a great place for props.

P.S.
They have a great plasma ball that you can screw into a normal light socket.

Shopper's Drug Mart is getting better each year with the halloween stuff. Last year I picked up a good looking 7 foot skelley for $29....and that was just one of the small stores in North Vancouver...I imagine the larger ones have an even better supply of things.

Our Winners had nice stuff, but I wouldn't call it props...candy dishes and Frankenstein nutcrackers, towels embroydered with bats...I haven't been to Home Sense yet, but last year it had the same sort of stuff.

Otherworldly is right. I think Winners and Home Sense are owned by the same company and so their stock is very similar. The only difference I have noticed is that Home Sense has a lot more stuff.

They just opened a Mega Home Sense/Winners store in Calgary. They had a good selection of props along side the candy dishes and towels. I was about 10 min. too late. Someone else had cleaned them out and filled their 2 carts with some great props. I was trying to convince her that she didn't need them all but she wouldn't budge.

I agree with WonderfullyWicked that Home Sense has a lot more stuff as well the better quality props but it all hinges on when you walk in...
