I didn't think I needed a 13-foot-tall animatronic gorilla, but maybe I do!!
In sharing this with good Cemetery friend, Randy Skalos, he has informed me of the rare gems that can be found in this huge lot: Distortions Unlimited, Gag Studios, and Michael Burnett Studios props and animatronics and more. There are some true treasures buried within the long lists.
I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on this as we get closer to closing time, which is scheduled for Tuesday, January 18th.
Even if you're not currently looking for anything, I highly recommend just browsing this incredible list of Halloween goodies!
But don't you DARE bid on my gorilla!!

Wow - this brings back memories. Dallas and Company and I go way back to about 1986. I went to school at U of I and used to get/rent my Halloween costumes there. The last time I went was about 2008 with my daughter. We went through their haunted house and I purchased some tombstones. That was before I knew I could make my own.
Sweet! You should have the inside line on the cool Halloween goodies, Lady M!!
