anybody have a mannequin?
I'm trying to find a seated mannequin to use for a Halloween display, and do you know how expensive those things are? yikes!
Perhaps someone has one collecting dust in the garage?
Re: anybody have a mannequin?
my previous attempts at a scarecrow-like figure have all been pretty pathetic. I LOVE Halloween, so I have in my mind's eye a very elaborate display (of course, my current collection of Halloween decor consists of a few rubber bats, two plastic skulls, a suction cup spider, and about 9 orange ceramic pumpkin lanterns on rusty hang chains. Not very impressive, but I'm working on it...)
I guess if I got mannequin arms and a mannequin head I could build a decent scarecrow.... I wanted my mannequin witch to sit beside a "cauldron" of dry ice, looking menacing. Shoot, maybe I'LL just sit on the porch dressed like a witch, looking menacing.
LOL! You could definitely be the "witch" and hand out candy that way! How awesome!
Have you tried craigslist or local thrift stores? Hey a Mervyn's store is going out of business by my office...wonder if they have their mannequins for sale! Want me to check for you?
found this listing of Mervyns closing...is Huntington beach near you?

FYI - Mervyn's Canoga Park has the following:
female standing legs $20
female torso $10
no arms, no heads
sounds funny! maybe other locations will have more and what you need. LOL!
