The first year I saw the 12ft Home Depot skeleton, it was awesome, but I couldn’t find any/didnt want to pay that price. The second year, the boxes all said “#12ftskeleton” and I was instantly over it. Similarly, I was into the 5ft poseable skeletons as soon as they came out. I built my collection 1-3/year with late Oct sales but now, with so many people competing to build the best skeleton activity diorama in the town, I’m not motivated to put mine out as much. Call me a hipster, but I was always out to pose them like they died in various ways.
But maybe that’s just my rebellious punk phase simmering up, making me goofy displays. “stop having fun”. Make it creepy.
Whatever. This year, I built a 7ft tall wendigo/leshy/reaper and found I could have spent less money on a home depot “scarecrow” and swapped the head. Such is life. Not like I’m going to stop building my own props.
Anyway, get a fog machine. It blurs out all the details. I put two out, on opposite sides, so the wind doesn’t totally rob me
