The final rush to Halloween is beginning. The thrift stores have racks of costumes and shelves of decor. As always, look things up before buying so you don't end up with a lot of crap to unload later, but following are some hot items to look for in the thrift stores:
  • Halloween props - including large hanging items, animated/talking props. Some of the Telco motionettes. Also look for Gemmy spirit balls, zombie heads, large fortune teller heads. In the past we have had good luck with fog machines. Scary creepy dolls
  • Blow mold decorations
  • Department 56 Halloween miniature haunted house collectibles; Lemax Halloween scenes, Jim Shore Heartwood Creek Halloween. Hawthorne Village collectibles, Fitz & Floyd Halloween candy dishes
  • Costume: Silicone and latex masks. Particularly movie monster masks. Vintage vacuform masks. Disney costumes for all ages, Chasing Fireflies girls' costumes, Darth Vader Michael Myers, Donnie Darko; Pottery Barn kids' costumes
  • Vintage paper mache candy buckets, vintage 50s plastic Halloween goodies
​Happy hunting!
