I try staying out of Party City around Halloween time only because I end
up walking out with an empty wallet, almost every time. Props, props,
and more props. I just can't get enough.
This weekend I managed to pick up a few cheaper Halloween props
though, and I actually walked out with money to spare. One particular
item I went home with only cost me $4.99, and to be honest it's a pretty
neat realistic prop. The 5 Bloody Severed Fingers! I'm glad I got them.
I have a small obsession with fake bloody body parts, not because I'm a
sick freak; but because they make for really great Halloween decor for
my yearly Halloween party. I usually line them all up on plates on the
dinner table, splat on some more runny fake blood, and let my guests
peer at the delicious fake goods. Hehe.
Anyhow, the 5 Bloody Severed Fingers come in... a pack of 5
(obviously). What drew my attention to them though was the details that
went into the cheap props. Upon close inspection, the fingers all looked
pretty frigging real.
Each finger has nicely detailed lines and wrinkles in the finger, and
the nail itself is done up pretty realistic looking as well. The entire
finger is splattered in bloody paint work, and the finger nails also
have blood smeared on them.
At the bottom of the finger a bone stuck out to give it that ripped
off/cut off look. The bones however were what made the fingers look less
realistic. The bone though didn't ruin the props realistic charm...but
it did set it back a few notches.
I figured that seeing how I was not impressed with the bones sticking
out, I would hide the bones by placing the fingers standing up tall into
a cake.
Yeah! I know, I'm a genius!
Other neat ideas for the Bloody Severed Fingers:
You can place them in peoples glassed as gruesome stirrers.
You can add them to a dish on your dinner plates for a creepy gross decoration.
You can also put them in goodie bags/pinatas for kids to bring home.
Overall:
I must say for only $4.99 I am pretty impressed with the fingers. They
make for a realistic, cheap Halloween prop, and would also make awesome
cake accents for your Halloween desert.
Recommendation:
For the low price, how could I not recommend them? Go on out and get a set, heck, maybe two.
You can pick them up at your local Party City or at their site www.partycity.com.
