Hi all,

My birthday is the week after Halloween and my family is asking what I want. I've got several Spirit props that are decent but no "show stoppers" and 4 foggers to fill my yard, and lots of tombstones... so I'm wondering what you'd ask for in the $200 range.

I'm looking for a good prop (animated or static) that would compliment an outdoor graveyard. I want something that stands out over my Spirit Rosemary, Spirit jumping spider and Spirit Tombstone pop up guy.

Anything cool at halloweenasylum.com, the horrordome.com etc.??

Thanks for your ideas!

I found this on ebay, and it's actually pretty creepy and it looks better in person and does exactly what it's supposed to do... for 130.00 shipped.

I'd take a look at AtmosFX digital projections. You can do a lot with a few second hand projectors, scrim and the videos. They added a lot to our Haunted Mansion this year.

Probably apply the $200 to defray the cost of a state-of-the-Art fogger.

Go pneumatic - start with a cheap compressor and supplies for a trashcan trauma... the disease will start there and grow... you can build far superior and unique props compared to the remarkably poor quality stuff you can buy...

I think I'd invest in a hanging man with thrashing legs, something I've wanted for a long time!

This site has some amazing props for AMAZING prices! That twitching corpse that is $130 on ebay is only $80 on here! Btw the props in the "Animatronics" section is not even half of the animatronics they have on this site http://www.trendyhalloween.com/Default.aspx

Interesting idea... what would a state of the art fogger be? Any links you can share?

Thanks.

How about adding a awosome tree to you graveyard......Spirit Halloween is selling there trees as part of their swamp display for 200 ea. In the long run with time and materials, you might save money? Check them out. Happy B day!

I'll second the tree comment. I got one still sealed in the box for 100.00 today. It is flipping awesome! Looks great and almost 9 feet tall! Happy Birthday!
