LITTLE TIBIA & THE FIBIAS HALLOWEEN PROP!

This is my interpetation of Little Tibia and the Fibias from the Halloween animation classic Mad Monster Party! Tibia comes with a wig and glass eyes(flat). I decided to leave the eyes loose in case you wanted the hollow orb look or wished to use another kind of eye. They will drop out though unless you either glue them on. Tibia stands about 5' tall and is made out of hollow plastic. Tibia can be adapted to play the part of a witch, zombie, or as her original role as lead singer in a Rock n' Rol Band! She will be supplied with a hanging string(not pictured). Tibia wont last long at this price so get her before someone else gobbles her up! She is a one-of-a-kind Halloween Prop that will not be available in the department stores or online.

Spider Skeleton

Skeleton Spider. Talk about creepy! An 8 legged plastic spider made up of human bones including a skeleton head. 14 1/4" x 11 1/2" x 5 1/2".

HAUNTED WURLITZER PIPE ORGAN!!! HALLOWEEN PROP!

This is my latest prop creation! A heavily distressed Haunted Wurlitzer Pipe Organ! The cart is not included. It was employed to wheel this heavy organ into place. This is a heavy object and way to big to ship. This is pick up only. It is not recommended one try to plug this thing in now since I froze most of the keys and potentially introduced liquid into the inner workings. This is designed to just sit in your haunted attraction whether it be an advanced yard haunt or a full scale haunted theme park. You will need either a pick uptruck or delivery/moving truck to move this due to the height. The back is currently open. This prop is perfect for themed sequences that incorporate organ scary music into a pass by or chamber. This is one of a kind. You will not find this anywhere else.

Halloween-Skeletons

Bargain Basement Barney Skeleton


Bargain Basement Barney is a life-size, hollow plastic skeleton. This skeleton prop can be used for your Halloween displays as is or you can easily corpsify one to look even more ghastly! You will not find a more realistic yet affordable skeleton on the market. The suggested retail price is $92.99.

After corpsifying my first Barney I can say they're much easier to do than a Bucky and look just as good in effect. I'd like to elaborate on why The Barney is easier to work with. Weight weight weight! A Bucky is about 17 lbs. The Barney is about 5 lbs. When you are constantly moving a skeleton as you corpsify it the lighter model is much less of a burden. Then when you display it that's where light weight is your friend. How many times have you been trying to reach up to a hook or something to display your bucky and felt considerable strain as your body leans out from a tall ladder? I often hang a bucky from the gallows. Since I live in a high crime area I would have to take it down every night Oct. 1st-Oct 31st. What a tedious task to climb a ladder on an uneven lawn. The Barney would be easy. Crevices...Bucky had ones I'm only now just discovering. Barney was much easier to corpsify along the spine since he doesn't have all those rubber cartilage things. Sometimes you have to dump excessive amounts of stain down a Bucky making drying time just in time for New Year's! About the only draw back I've found which could be corrected is the absence of a hanging hook. His head is held on by screws. I think you could easily drill his head and add a fixture. Then you'd cross bolt the metal stem running through his head. I will try this on my next corpsification and try to get a video up. The hardware store is our friend. There is something there to adapt him. I just think a hook is better so you can dry him without disturbing your corpsification. I also like the idea of being able to grasp his spine hold my hand out to hook him up for Halloween display. Another benefit is Barney is smaller and uses less materials than a Bucky would. If I were to shellac a Bucky I'd use one pint and be sponging up the very last bit. Barney will leave about an inch or more on the bottom. Remember a dry corpse is a happy corpse. Also go light on stain. If you go heavy it will take forever to dry. Although I didn't have any half round eyes I could see how Barney's lack of eyeball cavity would make adding eyes much easier. Bucky's eyes would require a lot of fill to accept taxidermy quality eyes. Corpsification is fun but like all painting it's fun at first but 12 hours later you have a headache, you're covering in paint/stain, your brush is ruined,and you never want to paint again. My first Barney only took me 5-6 hours to complete. That was much easier to digest. I just worked a deliberate pace. As a result I spent less than $10 to corpsify him. Go look at my other ad. and see for yourself. I really believe that Bargain Basement Barney Skeletons make fine Halloween displays that YOU can easily corpsify with stuff you probably already have around your home.
