Frugal Finds!

Hey Gang!

I am working on my Halloween diorama. I plan to use the haunted house I bought from Aldi as the central feature.  I need to add a few other things. I found most of these at Walmart, but I got one thing from Five Below.

I love these mini chalkboard tombstones from Walmart.  They weren't in my store. Someone from FB posted a link on how to find them online. They were $6.97!  Here is the link for them.

Here they are out of the wrapping. The package includes eight tombstones.
There is chalk also.
George is helping me out here with the scale.
They are embossed on the front, and the back is flat.
I might paint these edges so they blend in.
Next up is this Hopping Toy ghost. 
It and the tombstones look a lot like the items on the haunted house. The store had plenty of these cheaper items.
You can see that it winds up in the back. I think I might have the same problem with these as I have with the singing doll. They will go off in the middle of the night. The cost is on the item.
No haunted house is complete without skeletons! I found this unicore skeleton at Walmart. It was $1.00.
It isn't 1/6 scale, but it will work for what I have in mind.
You can use this bag of skulls in many ways! They are a great prop. 
This isn't my best photo.  I hope you can see this skeleton. I have seen many skeletons over the years. Many aren't 12 inches or articulated. Very few glow in the dark. 
I have a few more things coming, and I need to customize some to get them the way I want.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
