If you are hosting a Halloween party this year or haunting your house, it is important to use good Halloween props that will add that special creepy look to your décor.  Ghoulish props are a must-have for any Halloween party or haunted house. There are Halloween props that sit, hang, fly, make sounds, move or remain stationary. Add the spook factor to your home for your guests with some of these fun Halloween Props that we found at Fright Catalog, Inc.:

The Ground Fogger

No Halloween party or haunted house would be complete without a fog machine. We found a great fog machine called The Ground Fogger.  Rolling fog will tickle your toes as it drifts across your graveyard or walkway. This fogger has a compartment for ice that cools the fog so it will stay low to the ground, and set that eerie mood you’ve been dying for. Order yours here.

Skinned Legs

Body parts are another important prop to use for Halloween.  Here is just one body part you can add to your macabre collection:  it’s an all-latex bloody skinned body part “so beautifully sculpted you have to see it to believe it.” Grab your own attention-getting skinned left leg or skinned right leg to strategically lay somewhere in your favorite spooky place.

Bolt

Here’s a fun guy you should make sure you invite to a Halloween party at your place. Meet Bolt. This dramatic animatronic is like Frankenstein on steroids! Push the button, and as the sound of machinery winds up, Bolt says one of 5 different phrases. Then he gets SHOCKED with violent movement and screaming. Includes amplifier, speaker, digital audio, movement control system, dressed body, and metal rack. Requires AC power and 60-80 psi air compressor. Measures 30 inches wide, 84inches tall, 30 inches deep. Please Note: This item is a Special Order and may take 4 to 8 weeks for delivery.  Order your special friend Bolt here.

The Vomit Barrel

And finally, because gross and disgusting is vital aspect of any good Halloween party, we have the Vomit Barrel. A barrel of laughs and leftovers! This disgusting but funny device throws up on cue by switch. Great quantities of green vomit spew as the familiar Friday night sounds of heaving ensue! Requires standard AC power only. Comes with a cassette player, cassette, and amp with speakers. You supply the vomit (water with food coloring). Please note: This item is also a Special Order and may take 4 to 8 weeks for delivery.  Halloween is fast approaching so hurry and order yours here!

Here is a great idea for spooky sound effects at your next Haunting or Halloween Party!  The artist is Midnight Syndicate and creepy mood music is what they do best. Here is a sampling of some of their album titles:

Dr. Jekyll had only one thing to say when he saw this haunted prop – “Be still my heart!”

Ultra realistic, fresh looking human heart with endless possibilities. Great for the laboratory, set it in a puddle of blood for that extra gore factor, a little snack for your zombie character and don’t forget your massacre scene or that extra special touch for your haunted graveyard. We could go on and on but we’re certain you’ll find the perfect use for this latex prop.

Cocoa Cobweb Cupcakes, Black Cat Cookies, and Stained-Glass Spooks are just a few of the spirited tastes you’ll encounter in Donata Maggipinto’s delightful Halloween Treats.

But it’s not just recipes–you and your favorite little goblin will love creating spooky craft projects such as Candy Cauldrons, Leaf Lanterns, and Paper Bag Pumpkins together in anticipation of All Hallows’ Eve.

Maggipinto includes craft ideas for “Pixies” (children 4-8 years old) as well as older children, and nearly every recipe includes a safe task for younger helpers. (For example, while mom or dad should heat the milk for hot cocoa, kids can roll and stamp out marshmallow ghosts as accompaniment.)
