16 Days 'til Halloween - Disneyland Window Displays

WARNING: the possible side effect of re-doing some Halloween props and decorating you've already done this year has been reported after viewing these pictures.

People experiencing this symptom more than 4 days should just move on to Christmas decorating because there's nothing I see in the pictures not possible by anyone.

Sure the Disney folk have access to one heck of of prop closet but that's a collection built up in time. Everything below is good staging and dressing. Even the custom props are simply made or inexpensive ones with extra touches. As in the witch's hat. It's just an ordinary costume one found everywhere with some added ribbon and jewelry. Being displayed well in a great setting makes it appear special. Even that fantastic looking spell book seemed to be just an aged up thick dictionary with the two visible pages pasted in.

Getting that inspired rush from a great display, studying the details and learning from is addictive.

  2. Is that bottle with the wisp of cotton (below the witch's dressing table) labeled "scream of fright"? That is BRILLIANT.

  3. I'm an east coast girl...Florida to be exact, and we have the other Disney here. Nothing beats strolling through the Magic Kindgom in October! In fact, just the other day as I was looking at your props, I thought to myself...this guy should be an Imagineer! :o)
