Toxic FX

I love the concept of reusable rotting pumpkins flickering away on Halloween night.  And I absolutely dig the face designs and the shapes of these pumpkins.  Especially that thin one with the huge forehead.

Sat and watched a walkthrough of the convention and paused to write down all the new and old vendors! Went straight to this company for those really neat rotting pumpkins! To bad the starting price is 85$!!! This is why I just make my own props! Halloween has become an expensive foray into the unknown depths of my empty wallet! But the satisfaction of creating a unique display is well worth the effort! I know that's why I'm always thirsty for whatever your twisted imagination reveals each year!

I feel similarly, but I have to pause and remember that this guy started a business and has to charge for supplies and his time and talent. Life is expensive these days... So I've come to appreciate that hand made things cost more than mass-produced stuff. And there always seems to be Haunters and Haunted Attractions who have no issue handing over the dough when they fall in love with a prop, so it's all totally relative, like most stuff in life.

Lord knows I've dropped some buck on my own personal interests! haha

I love these pumpkins though and have a feeling he's selling a ton.

Very true! Having a family member who is just starting out in the big ol mean art world, we've spent a small fortune on supplies for her! I'm starting on the ground floor of a haunt, and it seems the established pro haunts snatch up these great products before us "little guys" have a chance! Someday (hopefully) I can skip thru the isles of a haunter convention like a kid in a candy store, saying "I'll have 10 of these,and 20 of those!" Lol!

These are amazing. I want ALL of them. Love how the lids are wonky on them.

Rot said...

Yeah. It's a great concept. And the faces are terrific.

My favorite is the real smushy guy center of last photo…. These are so well done!

So cute - I would expect someone who calls himself Pumpkin Rot to like a rotting pumpkins.

Rot said...

Wren, I dig that one. That's the one to me that looks most real. I feel like I've seen tons of my pumpkins over the years with that collapsing expression.

Rot said...

Lady M, indeed!

Yep, really cool stuff! I've ordered some of the newest ones from him also! Thanks Rot!

Withered Vines said...

Amazing . any idea what the material is?

Rot said...

I believe it's a dense latex.

I hope you get commission for the links. I would spend more on reusable props but live in Canada so we don't have access to a lot of nice stuff. I tried to order one but once again another place that won't ship to me. I am used to spending a lot on shipping but it's sad when they just point blank won't export.

Rot said...

Nah...no commission! I just like spreading the word on cool stuff.

And that stinks about the shipping.
