Some Halloween and Día de los Muertos decorations in a prop shop. There are multiple skeletons and skulls with purple and pink paint, an orange cake with ghosts, and a Trick or Treat sign.

I meant to write this yesterday, but I forgot to, possibly since I was still going through the Desert Bus feels. It's no longer Halloween, but it is Dia de los Muertos, which is good enough, and still kinda works for what I'm sharing in this post! (Which yes, is why the site is still orange despite it being November, more info tomorrow)

Anyways, a few weeks ago I was helping my mom with a production thing, and we visited a place that sells a lot of props and decorations, and I took some photos of the ones that stuck out to me! This will be another photo dump post, similar to the one in the Botánico, albeit much shorter, but I still think it's quite fun.

That's really all I have to say, so enjoy these images!

A ceramic decoration of three ghosts holding letters, spelling out "SPOOKY". One has an orange bow, another a witch's hat, and another a slightly spooky top hat.
A small sculpture of a ghost holding a gravestone on a pile of skulls.
A small sculpture of a pumpkin painted black with cartoony ghosts.
Two small sculptures of crows standing on skulls. The skulls seem to be painted over with a map.
A shrink-wrapped sculpture of a small cartoony spider with big eyes on top of a mummy, also with big eyes.
A ghost party scented candle set. There are seven silly-looking ghosts, ranging in hue from pink to purple.

There are also quite a few non-Halloween items I found pretty fun, so have some of these too!

A shelf full of props. Among these are a set of wooden dice, three being white with black pips, and two being black with white pips; some fake precious stones, mostly blue and gold, and some coasters made to look like black cats.
A close up of the black cat coasters. They have a black marble texture, but have two yellow eyes.
A small silver/metallic plane sculpture.
Some small radios with bronze accents. One is white, and the other a dark teal.
Four wooden gears that fit together to make a pattern.
Some small chicken sculptures made out of recycled materials.
