Before I begin, I decided to post this here, as it is a potential spot for people to pick up possible bases for replica props and other misc. decor for their prop rooms. If this is the incorrect forum for it, the moderators have the right to transfer the post to the correct forum.
Today, I had some time to run around. I decided to check out one of the nearby Spirit Halloween stores opened in the area. For those who are unfamiliar with the stores, basically, they are a seasonal store set up to sell costumes, makeup and a wide variety of Halloween decor. They open in September and close after Halloween. I went into one of the ones in my area to look at their makeup kits, to see if there was anything that I could possible use to expand my makeup kit (which I received from my Makeup in Motion Picture class).
Well, I decided to go ahead and look around at the rest of the items in the store, coming across a lot of stuff. Amongst them, I came across a 1:1 scale Michael Myers from Rob Zombie's Halloween. Here's a couple of pictures of them. Before I begin, I apologize for the quality of the pictures, as the camera in my phone is not great (I do have plans on getting a better phone soon).
When you press the button, the Halloween theme plays. Also, you can hear him breathing too. His head turns back and forth, as well as his eyes. The arm with the knife goes up and down occasionally.
Another thing I found looks like a potential prop replica mod to come. Now, everyone knows "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and Freddy's glove. Well, I found this one for $9.99, made of cheap and rather flexible plastic. I'm sure everyone knows this one as, each year, it is always found in a variety of stores:
However, I was surprised to find the next item (which is the item I was making mention of as a potential prop replica mod). By paying an additional $10 ($19.99), you can get this baby:
This one, in comparison to the previous mentioned item, appears to be made with a lot more stronger plastic, and has a "chrome" finish to the blades and the finger pieces. So, if you happen to know of a Spirit Halloween Store near by, go in and check, as you may be able to find this baby and use it to add a Freddy Krueger glove to your replica prop collection (if not already).
Also, when I was inside the store, I found several other items, including a Latex copy of the Joker's "Bozo" clown mask (honestly, I kinda wish it was a lot thicker, as it was thin and rather flimsy). I did find a Batman utility belt from "Batman Begins" for $12.99 in adult size. I also found the Don Post version of the Michael Myers from the original "Halloween" and a Spirit Company version of the Michael Myers mask from Rob Zombie's remake. I also found an el-cheapo Guy Fawkes mask from "V for Vendetta" for $7.99 (which definitely needed to be rather thicker as well), some "Star Wars" costumes (including a small section with light sabers), also an el-cheapo Hannibal Lector protective mask from "Silence of the Lambs" (we all know which one).
So, I hope that for those who are lucky enough to live near one of these seasonal stores are able to go and check them out. Trust me, it's a great place for potential prop replicas that can be created from modifying these items.
