Chop Shop: ‘Ghouling’ up your Halloween Decorations

A few weeks ago I reached out to the amazingly talented Ghoul Friday, the namesake behind GhoulFriday.com to see if she might be interested in ‘ghouling’ up some of our awesome Halloween props as a display of what some craftsmanship and determination can accomplish when it comes to terrifying up your decor for the Halloween season (or any season if that’s what floats your boat).

What Ghoul Friday managed to accomplish with our products has literally blown my mind.

Taking our Old Haunted Radio Animated Prop and transforming it from this (left image), albeit it cool, an admittedly store-bought looking product…to what looks genuinely old, authentic, and awesome (right image).


What’s more, is that she was kind enough to detail the steps in her process – so you can do it too! Check out the images and visit her Radio Makeover tutorial here to learn how to do it yourself!

But in all honesty, the pièce de résistance, the tribute to her talents come in the form of what she managed with our Full Size Skeleton prop, which, as of this writing, retails for $99.99. Again, with some hard work, creativity and talent, Ghoul Friday has managed to take one badass looking prop skeleton (left image) and make it look positively terrifyingly badass (right image).


While the process was a bit more labor intensive than the radio, it’s still managable by anyone willing to put in the time. Ghoul Friday detailed her process in two parts this time. Make sure to visit both Part One and Part Two for all the steps AND more great pictures!
