I’ve had a skeleton riding shotgun for years now. I had to change it up from the original glow in the dark Dr. Bore Bones as we accidentally left him in the attic of our house when we sold it (oh what a surprise that must have been). So now I’ve got Borris in the Miata with me.
The MX-5 has a massive lisp with the fangs on - or at least it looks like it would have one. Yet I still made a fresh set and slapped them on this year
I also added some static window cling blood splatter. I am interested to see longer term results, but currently they’ve held up to 80+ mph on the interstate and commuter driving. We’ll see what happens with rain. I’m mixed on if it’s too much or too little, but I’ll give it a good test run to see.
And a small touch at the back just for kicks and giggles.
Do you do anything to your car for Halloween, Oppo?

Now that you mention it, I should get some dummies to hang out of the trunk of the Galaxie. I should get some dummies in general.

Nice. We have a family of skeletons that comes out to play in our annual Halloween display. This year’s theme is the Dead and Breakfast. Stay tuned.

Since our Mini is right hand drive I’ve considered putting a pirate in the LH front seat.

I used to put a couple of mannequins partly covered under a tarp in the back of my truck. Put a bit of fake blood on them and the bedliner.

Vinyl on the upper section would look 10x better. I built my first set of fangs back when I had the Fiat. I lost them in the move and for some reason when I remade them, I replicated what I did instead of using logic to make them fit appropriately . Cardboard wrapped in packaging held on by zip ties. The old set made it through several years of use and was ready for more.

There was a RHD Defender that I used to see regularly with a skeleton in the passenger seat. It was quite fun to see reactions to it.

Some tape eye brows on the headlights could give the truck a menacing look for the season too

Best thing is now my daughter has taken up the tradition. She’s as warped as I am.

My parents used to host massive Halloween parties for “me” (their friends) when I was growing up. I love the Holidays, don’t get me wrong, but it definitely left a lasting impression on my now love for Halloween.

Posing dummies are amazingly cheap, I’m finding. The cloth body kind with no structure are <$50. Cheap crummy mannequins can be a little more. Actual professional grade mannequins are a couple hundo. I’m not sure what one could find with the masterful posing ability of what a friend of my dad used to prank with, though, which was a double-leg actual prosthesis he found somewhere. “Herman” - so named because he was wearing Herman Survivors when found - and referred to by this guy as “my half brother”.

Plusses: Can be posed as halloween scare or prank extremely realistically. Actually looks real, would be incredibly disturbing.
Minuses: Pricetag, actual OH MY GOD CALL THE COPS realism risk, and... do I even really need to list the rest?
