Grim Greenery

We think our 2023 "Swamp Skeletons" may have inspired these 2026 Target "Grim Greenery" Skeletons (currently only available online). Our swamp skeletons were actually older Target pose-n-stay skeletons that we painted with an array of Rustoleum camouflage color matte spray paints, installed battery powered red LED lights behind red Fender amp jewel dome power indicator light covers for eyes, and draped with creepy clothe. But, as we've learned over the years, spray painting these plastic skeletons turns the plastic extremely brittle, it's their last hurrah so to speak, and sadly are "nevermore". But we liked the look of these Target Grim Greenery skeletons so much that we ordered a few to some day use in a haunt! We're always curating props that catch our eye for future haunt themes. We even picked up a few items at At Home the other weekend after seeing Pumkinrot's post for inside our house and for this year's haunt.
