Halloween II
I love my job! Last week I got to help you haunt your yard. This week I get to help you haunt your house. All it takes is one trip to the warehouse to find more unearthly, chilling, terrifying Things than you can shake a skull at. So let's get going...
It's important to set the mood as soon as your guests walk in the door. Who doesn't fear The Reaper? 
Holding out a blood-soaked banner that warns all who would dare enter, the ghastly ghoul greets victims with a deadly grin and flashing blue eyes. He's great for hanging in an entryway or even on a covered porch. Or hang this reaper--with his horrific face and grasping bony fingers--from the ceiling in the entryway so guests have to pass under his rotted 12-foot shroud when they enter your demonic domain.
The five-foot mummy man is one of my favorite animated props this year. You hang him from his feet from a ceiling or in a doorway and watch him scare people half to death. 
When someone makes a noise near him, his eyes glow red and he shudders and shakes. Not only does he move, he lets out horrible shrieks and moans and he even comes with his own spiders! Check out our video to see him in action. Our motion-activated creepy books are a great way to scare people, too. When someone walks by, the books move by themselves and play creaky haunted house sounds.
A great haunted house needs a really good zombie head on a hook! This one is so detailed and realistic it even grosses me out.
Its eyes are bulging out of its rotted, putrid skull and its mouth is frozen in a death scream. It's a life-size skull that's perfect for hanging in a doorway or over a bathroom sink. Speaking of the bathroom...what better place to scare people than in a small room...when they're alone...with the door closed? Our blood drenched shower curtain with the shadow of a knife-wielding maniac and sound effects is perfect. What's really cool is it's motion- and sound-activated. When an unsuspecting victim gets too close or makes a sound (like closing the door behind them), it plays the music from "Psycho" while a woman lets out a bloodcurdling scream.
Halloween wouldn't be complete without some eye of newt, some heart of bat and a dash of hemlock. These jars of witches ingredients that light up to show their toxic contents are great in the kitchen or on a table of treats. So are these bloody eyes and finger fries. You can mix them in with real food or just put them on the table in their containers. They come pre-drizzled with blood-- no ketchup needed!
And when you're done hanging up all the decorations, you have to cover everyThing in cobwebs! This Electronic Webcaster Gun is one of the coolest Things ever for Halloween. It spits out streams of spider webs at the push of a trigger. You can get three kinds of web sticks for it: Clear sticks make traditional spider webs that glow blue under black light; Glow In The Dark sticks create webs that glow under any light; Neon Yellow sticks make webs that glow yellow under black light. You can spray it all over just about any decoration or light fixture, spray it in corners and around table legs. It's so much easier than the packaged spider webbing and the webbing comes off your Things a lot easier, too. And check out the creepy effect:
Until next week...Boo!
