Porch guardian
Stands watch by the door. The hood shape is what sells it — deep enough that the face stays in shadow until you're close.

Motion, sound and a build that survives October outdoors.
See it in the scene: The Front Lawn →
Animated, plug-in, outdoor
A 5.6-foot hooded reaper with a skull face and an open ribcage, bony hands raised over a lady in a white gown who floats in the air in front of him, red hair trailing down. Plug it into a 120V outlet and the motor takes over; you get the whole levitation scene from one piece instead of two props and a lot of fishing line. It belongs on the front lawn, where the street can see it.
The lady in white floats in front of the reaper, red hair trailing, arms down, and the whole scene arrives as one unit. No second prop to buy, no fishing line to hide, no explaining to the neighbor why there is a lady on a stepladder in your yard.
The white gown and red hair sit against a black robe and a grey, shredded gauze shroud, so the contrast is part of the scene. In a dim yard that does more for you than an extra foot of height would.
It runs off a 120V outlet, so there are no batteries to swap the week the trick-or-treaters show up. Scare level lands on the mild side, which is where you want the front lawn to be when the four-year-olds walk past too.
Plug it in at dusk and the reaper holds the lawn while you hand out candy from the porch. When November comes, unplug it, fold the gauze and the gown flat and put the pair back in the tote. Next October you set it up in minutes instead of building the scene again.
What holds up
Stands watch by the door. The hood shape is what sells it — deep enough that the face stays in shadow until you're close.
Fabric layers instead of one printed sheet. It moves in a breeze and looks alive. Best per-dollar piece in my yard.
