Everyone had their first big animatronic, the one that starts off this amazing hobby, for me it wasn’t a Halloween one, instead it was this Life Size Santa from ASDA sold all the way back in 2009! 🎅

After many years of searching this Santa is finally back with me, this is the 1st generation model of the Realistic Santa made by Gemmy that you often see over in the US, believe it or not these were first sold at Asda over here in the UK for around £70!

I remember seeing him in stores shortly after the butler’s disappearance after Halloween then being surprised by one standing in my living room that very Christmas! So many great memories tied to this guy, I love his appearance and the versions of the songs he sings! 🎄

Sadly my original broke not long after we got him, when we took him back they were sold out which isn’t surprising for how cool he is! These ones are VERY hard to come across, I’ve searched over a decade for one of these in good shape and that could post, now he’s here I have one of these decorations that truly made my childhood at Christmas!

Hopefully he gets brought back one of these years, since they’re still sold in Walmart in the US, nothing will ever beat the vision of seeing him at the entrance of the store singing next to a Christmas tree! 🤩

Here are some pics taken at Northam Manor, my Haunt for 2024! 💀

Quite late to the party on this one with packing everything away and getting some final editing done but I am beyond happy with the outcome of 2024, this is the first year I’ve done my haunt at another house which came with it’s obstacles of planning where everything would go and how it would all work!

With all that in mind I created an experience that will be unforgettable to many and I’ve got so many ideas already for next year (possibly transforming the haunt into a full on maze!)

Finally acquired one of my favourite Gemmy Butlers, this is Graves the Fat Butler and he is ready to serve and scare our visitors this year! 🙌

After setting a lookout for this guy all year, I managed to find one at a reasonable price however he needed a lot of repairs. Graves was an item I didn’t think I would own solely because of already owning many butler props however with seeing the videos out on the prototype version he grew on me enough to buy him.

He is currently the only known Graves to reside in the UK and I couldn’t be prouder to own this amazing butler! 🕷️🕸️

The Biggest Prop of the Year from ASDA is here and she’s for sure a scary one! 👻

After years of having the smaller rocking horse dolls and how their popularity has risen amongst haunters in the UK, Asda have given us a GIANT version this year and it has impressed me massively! She’s so detailed and creepy looking, she’s sure to impress in any haunt! I also love how good quality she is with her sound quality and how smoothly the movement works! I love everything from the appearance of this prop to the design of the box, Asda - you always know how to kick it out of the park with these props!

For £60 I highly recommend this prop to anyone out there who wants a scary prop or enthusiast of haunted dolls! 🪦

ASDA has LAUNCHED their Halloween setup and they’ve claimed the mantle for TOP STORE in the UK in my opinion! 🎃

Over the past few days, most stores across the UK have started to get their seasonal aisle decked out with Halloween Goodies! There’s so much to choose from this year whether it’s costumes, animated items or partyware!

I love the range of tabletop items in particular, such as the skeletons with the coffin, the animated pumpkin and the animated dolls - they are so creepy! 👀

Finally I must say a well done to the new Horror Emporium theming, it is a huge accomplishment in their theming making it so immersive and it brings back their retro vibes with the orange packaging! The signage is out of this world! 🪦

FINALLY another ZOMBIE animatronic in the UK at an AMAZING PRICE! 🧟‍♂️

This guy was definitely something that took me by surprise, released this guy as their latest 3ft item of the year after the success of other mid size characters and I think he is definitely one of the best. He’s packed with good animation, growling/moaning sound effects and a decent amount of detail, this prop is such good value for £35! 👀

HALLOWEEN VILLAGE SCENES at THE RANGE?! I’m all for it! 👀🧙‍♀️

Here are a few items I weren’t expecting to ever hit UK stores at an affordable price, have had a few of these ornamental pieces whether it’s scenes or globes these all have a Lemax feel to them!

My favourite is the Ghoulish Gourd Pub and Grill for £29.99, it’s a fully detailed and spooky piece even with a spinning skull at the top - this scene even plays its own soundtrack as it operates or you can have lights only!

I also love the Witches Hut scene mainly for how much is going on in such a compact piece, there’s even witches that fly on their broomsticks around the scene which is a nice touch. 🙌

I also picked up one of their glitter globes (the tree scene) and I’m really surprised with how good the little scene with the cat and pumpkins look inside with the glitter and lighting surrounding it!

Absolutely love these pieces, if they are to test the waters with Halloween Village Scenes in the UK I hope there will be a bigger lineup of them next year, they are also very hard to find this year, so if you find them, don’t hesitate! 🎃

Halloween is officially at Morrisons, and they are absolutely killing it with their range this year! 👻

Today I visited my local Morrisons and their seasonal aisle is completely decked out with Halloween decor! Some of my favourite bits were the giant blow moulded tombstone, light up 5ft skeletons and most of all the new 3ft Zombie! I was shocked to see all of these new surprises and I really needed the Zombie so I got him! I also liked the tabletops such as the saxophone skeleton and the caged doll which had some creepy sayings and the fan favourite 3ft doll is back for the 3rd year running!

Check out the walkthrough on my channel! https://youtu.be/AnrCIoIyFQI?si=51X0pxslCqU29BsK 🧟‍♂️

ASDA have an outstanding selection of tabletop animatronics this year, available online now! 👻🎃

Recently I’ve gathered a selection of my favourite small animated props from Asda and I think these will be such crowd pleasers this Halloween!

The animated tombstone is a great addition to a graveyard and he is a flashback to three major props we had over a decade ago! The Haunted Burger is a really comical looking one, love it or hate it, it’s a great value small scare for those who don’t expect it to come to life! The other which I absolutely love is the animated pumpkin, at first he may appear as a cute lil’ creature but when approached, he rips his head in half exposing his innards and making some spooky sounds! 🙌

Check out my reviews on all three of these amazing items on my channel! https://youtu.be/ifIPKOM1FLQ?si=S785yu7kvJhmVK56

Some really cool and spooky bits hitting Poundland Stores this year! 👻

I’m really impressed with the variety and value of the Halloween range at Poundland stores this year, such a good shop for small accessories and last minute bits to add to the haunt!
