While M and I have not been out on a full Halloween buying spree (we plan on going next weekend) I have been gearing up with some awesome deals already!
First great deal was from the Dollar Tree. We found plastic skeleton hand servers. I bought a pair of these from Target 3 years ago and spent 30 bucks on them. Of course they were metal, but these plastic ones are great too! WE got 4 more and they are awesome for dipping in, gripping and serving chips of any kind. Price $1.00 each.
Next up is an even more upgrades to the lighting system. I got 3 new Blue LED flood lights and 2 more green to replace some of the florescent I was forced to use last year. 5 pack bulk rate price $28.99 shipping and handling from EBAY!
I had planned on adding at least one more AtmosFX digital window to the house this year so I jumped at the chance to get a 7000 lumen hd LED projector for the job. $71.88 free shipping Ebay.
I found a great clearance deal for a king of cheesey prop. Found this 6' static Zombie girl on clearance at Party City for 25 bucks. This props is nothing more than a 6' metal pole with a christmas tree 4 leg stand and wire arms attached to a creepy head and hands with a moldy looking dress thrown over it. M can use chicken wire to build her out a bust and body and we can fill the arms out with pool noodles. Paint her up a bit more realistic and throw a tattered dress from good will on her and she is awesome! She is $100.77 with shipping and handling from Spirit and Halloween Express both. I paid $25 flat and I found a free shipping and handling coupon to boot!
The biggest purchase (thus far) is the Haunted Shovel from Spirit Halloween.
I was not planning on using it alone as that seems kind of cheesy...A haunted shovel....I am going to put it in the hand of this static prop thus making him ALIVE!
Anybody else getting in good deals or secret coupons they want to talk about?
The haunted shovel is cool! Will look amazing with your prop gravedigger.
ReplyDeleteHome Depot has the Window FX Projector (very similar to your AtmosFX) for $69.00 with free shipping.
ReplyDeleteI already checked that out. Most of these haunt FX require a minimum of 1800 lumens to project properly. I always use 2500 lumens or higher. The home depot one is low. Around 1000 or less. It's great for inside in a dark room but not the real 3d pop effect I am after.

DeleteThat's good information to know. I won't waste my money at Home Depot now. Thanks
Deletecan not wait to see what you do with the shovel!
