So this was laat year 2021 Halloween Display! I try to collect alot of older Spirit Props their stuff back then was way better then what they have now! I did a lil zombie baby area but I would honestly like to expand on that area by adding more babies, I really would want to add a crib or maybe even a merry-go round for the babies but not sure what I could use for the motor to make it turn. Any suggestions? Looking at the cemetery probably would add some columns but the way the walkway is kinda in a slope and it gets windy here in Southern California! Finally the skeleton guy was supposed to be and underworld theme but I did not get finish it maybe this year?? Any suggestions or tips?

This is my thread from many years ago about how to make a simple scarousel using one of those (pricing is definitely dated at this point) but you should get the general idea.
