I came just for the skeleton in the graveyard. I totally forgot the song but as soon as you pushed the button it came flooding back into my head. That was awesome. I appreciate this video so much.
wow this just unlocked a memory hidden deep in my subconscious of my late aunt owning the first witch and the vampire on her box! breaks my heart that we were never able to find a lot of her old halloween decorations when she died but now i'm dead set on finding those to own again :)
37 years old and still remember all the words to that skeleton rapping. On the back of the package they had the lyrics and my brother and sisters and I loved that thing! Looking all over the internet to find my favorite Halloween decoration for my 4 year old daughter who loved the rap lol
Love that dancing skeleton with the big head, I use to have a skull with dancing black roses on it's head it played music, loved that thing don't know what happened to it after moving so many times.
Such cute and spooky decorations! Reminded me of my childhood growing up. I remember that sound the witch made was in every halloween decoration when I was little! What fun!
i made a video of my personal favorite in my collection, 'The Monalisa'. It just sticks its tongue and eyes out when u look at it, while telling u why it does in a cheesy Italian accent. Motionettes always produce a smile, which is why they're so great. Awesome stuff!
I have a pumpkin headed scarecrow. I believe it came from SAMS. It’s head lights up and it’s head and one arm move. It doesn’t make noise though. But when all is quiet you can hear it creak. Ha ha ha
I have the larger versions of these that had more details to them...and none of those annoying screaming noises. I own the Frankenstein, Witch and Dracula all in the original boxes. They are some of my most prized older Halloween items. You got some really good deals on those and in the boxes too!
Thank you Scott!!! I get so excited when I see them. There was a wolfman one in really poor quality that Chris told me to buy but I left him. Now Chris teases me when I say I should have bought him anyway.
@@HollywoodHaunter I always use eBay for value info on products. I have an immense collection of Halloween "houses" from the Spooky Town collection (have you seen them? Amazing!) and I can figure out prices from eBay along with retail suppliers and other selling apps. Those motion-ettes can be pretty valuable!
I'm definitely hoping to find the Teleco Motionettes that can go with that Display Background I just found while thrifting and then take a picture with them in front of it. I do have some Gemmy Motionettes.
I have the first grim reaper you showed. He’s still in the box. I haven’t pulled him out for a few years. I forgot how fun he was. I’ll have to bring him out again. I got him at target probably in ‘98 or ‘99
My dad used to do that with us as a kid, turn on everything at the same time and turn all the lights off and just listen and watch. Some of my favorite childhood memories.
I love the wall behind you. Vintage is wonderful. I really like the black cat & pumpkin, but could never figure out how to use them. So I did something similar, I printed out vintage greeting cards and framed them. Hey, I'm adding a peanuts great pumpkin pumpkin patch to my haunt this year. I hate doing paper mache with a capital H. Any source ideas for other types pumpkins ( ready made it close to ready made.) I don't like using real pumpkin, pain in the but to get rid of and many times we get Freezing before Halloween.
I would look at either carving them out of foam blocks or making them from expanding foam. Check out Allen Hopps Stiltbeast Studios for a tutorial on the spray foam. Or when the stores open up again go to your thrift stores and buy the foam pumpkins. They always seem to have one or two hiding in the shelves.
When I was a teenager we had a motionette witch that my mom would put on our countertop and one year we had her out it was on Halloween I was chewing some bubble gum and I left the wrapper on the counter and me and my mom and sister were talking and it's like a gush of wind came through the kitchen and the wrapper fell off the counter we looked at each other and I bent to pick it up and it wasn't on the floor it was back on the counter something picked it up and it put it back there my mom got creeped out and threw it away it was very strange we all seen it fall off the counter she never put out any more witches only Jackolanterns
@@HollywoodHaunter the house I grew up in my mom brother ,sister ,nephew my friend my husband all said they saw a woman floating around the house that's to many people to tell you about it at different times for it not to be true but I never seen her don't know nothing about it because I don't think anyone lived there before us maybe it's the land that's haunted you must think I am nuts but this stuff really did happen you like creepy things so I thought I would share my ghost story with you
The Roman numerals on the gravestone read 1177 I dunno what that is a reference to... The animated figures are indeed very easy to repair, I have successfully repaired several 70's and early 80's ones and usually the problem is dented wheels that are no longer aligned or moved forward and are no longer in contact, then just align them and add a drop of hot glue to prevent them from moving out of position again, sometimes also broken rubber bands that acted as motor chains so you can easily replace those, you don't really have to be very technical to repair them as their motors are usually very simple and the solutions are very obvious even to the inexperienced eye (ME!) give it a go just make sure to take a pic or 2 of how things were originally as soon as you open them up to have as reference in case you forget where things went... I'm certain you will get them back working and once you do the first one you will see how easy it is...
Jeana, was your family really into Halloween when you were growing up, or was your love of the creepy the kooky the mysterious and spooky just something that was personal to you? Frankie's face looked kind of familiar to me but I just can't think of who I thought he looked like...perhaps an actor. Once again I enjoyed seeing your collection, thanks for sharing it with us!
Not sure if you ever saw this video but it's me and my mom. My family is big into Halloween. My dad would always take me trick or treating and my mom would decorate. Those are some of my best memories with them. ruclips.net/video/meAofRqbaBE/видео.html
@@HollywoodHaunter Very cool thank you. I think I started watching your videos back when you were building the haunted ghost town in your yard and I've gone back to watch some of your older build videos, but I've never seen that one, I'll check it out.
Why did they quit making all the fun decorations? I have some I bought new that are from the 90's most of them still work wished they would make more of them
That skeleton is by gemmy back in 2001 through 2007 cause I saw him in 2005 Oh also I think telco be came fitco cause I saw at a yard sale a fitco witch with that same face as the first motionette witch you shown on tape
Oh my god! I have searched for video of the rapping skeleton for so long. I have a friend who has one but hers struggles getting through the song. I have researched down insane rabbit holes trying to figure out who made the song or where it came from and why it doesn’t have an underground following of people who have been hypnotized by it? I haven’t found any information on any of it other than who made it and when it came out. It was the star of the Halloween party. I know I’m a stranger and this video is a year old, but is there any way when you have time if you could record the whole song and post it? Or if you don’t want to post it to your channel because of redundancy, you can upload it to a Google drive and message me a link? I know that’s a lot to ask, I just can’t believe I finally found another video of it. If not, it is not a problem. Thank you for sending the rope down the rabbit hole, I don’t think I would have made it out otherwise. :)
Do you have an email I can send it to you there? I'm so glad you found this video. You would be surprised how many people have fond memories of this particular motionette. I even found one for another person and sent it to them. Let me know your email and I will get a video to you 😊
This was just listed on Ebay if you want one www.ebay.com/itm/Halloween-Vtg-1996-Spooky-Animated-Rapping-Crypt-Skeleton-Great-American-Fun-Co-/125173143076?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
Can you keep a secret? I filmed 3 in one day. I really dont have the time but with everything going on in the world I wanted to give people a 10 minute escape. Thank you so much for watching ❤
I have a witch got two of them. One moves. Has a big pumpkin holding it. She is 3 feet tall. Paid 5 dollars for her and the other one 1 dollar garage sales I have a nice collection of fiber optic. One is big black cat it moves really nice it's comes from the early eighties I think. Really nice. Played 15.00 for and pretty blonde hair blue eyes wand cat Fiber optic pretty witch doll. About 18 in tall. 15 for her to . And fiber optic scarecrow all in the 80s eara. Bought them at the same garage sale. I feel lucky to have found them. I had a big collection of halloween. Been collecting for 30 years. 3 years ago I got broke into stole half of my collection. When I found it. It was a sad day. Halloween. Is my favorite time of the year. When I was around 7 or 8 years old. I'm 60 now. On halloween night.the bed I sleep in had a old time window next it. I could thaw bright moon. Mom would tell me the witches are busying on that night. It was like Christmas to them. I would lean up against that window. And wait and wait and wait I'd wake the next morning and be mad at my shelf for falling asleep. This went for a few more years .never did see one. I still think of that I was so excited to see a witch fly. But never happen. It's a sweet memories. I don't say I love halloween. But do say I like halloween. Reason is my love for Jesus is above halloween. I use to feel guilty about that! But now. I can say that like really a lot. I know this is not what I needed to write. But for me. This my coping for likeing halloween so much. I think you feel like I do when I find that find. That wonderful piece. God bless you!
What a fun memory about the witches on Halloween. I'm so sorry someone broke into your home. How awful 😞 Sounds like you've got a great eye for finding yard sale treasures. I can't wait to get back outside and hunt for Halloween. God bless you and stay well.

I'm so sorry to hear about your aunts things but so happy to have brought back wonderful memories for you. I hope you do find them again.
I miss those “electric ghost” noises.
OOOOooooooOoooOOOOOOoooooohhhhhhhhhh 👻
Weeeeeeeeeooooooooooooohhhh
So do I!
I got a little glowing ghost from the dollar store a couple of years ago that still makes those noises!
37 years old and still remember all the words to that skeleton rapping. On the back of the package they had the lyrics and my brother and sisters and I loved that thing! Looking all over the internet to find my favorite Halloween decoration for my 4 year old daughter who loved the rap lol

Moving can be so hard on decorations. We have moved a ton over the past 20 years its ridiculous. Sorry you cant find your skeleton guy 😢
@@HollywoodHaunter maybe I can make one although it will not be playing music and all
Such cute and spooky decorations! Reminded me of my childhood growing up. I remember that sound the witch made was in every halloween decoration when I was little! What fun!
I have the Dracula Motionette, in the same family as Your Frankie and Witch! He’s somewhere in my shed!
YAY!!! Looks like he needs to come out soon and celebrate Halloween with us :)
that skeleton is gemmy hip swinging
Jeana thank you for making these videos!!! I'm enjoying them so much!!
Hi sweetheart!!! What a joy to see you on here ❤❤❤
Amazing video!!!!!!!!! You got some great props from yard sales
Those Witches noises disturb me for some reason XD
They can be really loud lol!
I have the Frankenstein and still works.
That's awesome. Hope I can get mine working again.
i made a video of my personal favorite in my collection, 'The Monalisa'. It just sticks its tongue and eyes out when u look at it, while telling u why it does in a cheesy Italian accent. Motionettes always produce a smile, which is why they're so great. Awesome stuff!

I have yet to see the bigger ones. I hope I can come across a few myself. Thanks for watching!
1994 was when my wife and I got married. We don't move much anymore either, but we both make noise!
Lol!!!
Those motion-ettes on eBay go for $25 to $350!!! Wow. Great collectibles! Fun video as usual. Your excitement really sells it. :-)
Thank you Scott!!! I get so excited when I see them. There was a wolfman one in really poor quality that Chris told me to buy but I left him. Now Chris teases me when I say I should have bought him anyway.

@@scottrousseau496 Yes I have seen those. I don't own any but my mom has a few pieces I think.
The skeleton one I had and me and my sister and niece when she was little used to dance to it😂
Yes! Ha ha that one is so much fun 💀💀💀
I prefer the lower pitched tones of the "the new spooky electric sound".
hahaha We have that dancing rapping skeleton!!
our grandkids love that thing
You Do!!! That is so awesome.
I'm definitely hoping to find the Teleco Motionettes that can go with that Display Background I just found while thrifting and then take a picture with them in front of it.
I do have some Gemmy Motionettes.
I hope you find some too. Now that halloween is the next holiday I would keep popping back into the thrift stores more frequently.
I have the first grim reaper you showed. He’s still in the box. I haven’t pulled him out for a few years. I forgot how fun he was. I’ll have to bring him out again. I got him at target probably in ‘98 or ‘99
He was so much fun to find. I still need to try and fix all these guys.
You know it's a good Halloween find when the prop is old enough to have a beer with you. 🎃 Lol Love these videos!
Lol!!! 😄
Those are so neat. :)
Hey buddy!!! Thanks for stopping by 🧡
You got some pretty good items! A couple of them are Rare. I would recommend looking into how to fix them before you try.
Oh yes, absolutely. I'm hoping a few experts in that group I joined will have some good information for me. Thank you for watching!
I would try a night light lightbulb or a village house lightbulb for the candle
I saw a tiny Christmas bulb taped to the side of the box. Thank you for the suggestions 👍
cool video!
Awesome
Thank you!!!
groovy
Hi buddy!!! Thanks 😃
is there a way to wire them up so they can all go off together? If anyone can do it's you guys!😉👌
There are controllers that can do this. All it takes is a little extra money ;)
My dad used to do that with us as a kid, turn on everything at the same time and turn all the lights off and just listen and watch. Some of my favorite childhood memories.

top quality video. You Definitely Deserve More Subscribers! 😎↗️😀❗️
did you frankenstein's monster
have the neck bolts? still thinking
about showing my old stuff
God bless
So I took a quick peek and it looks like he doesn't have bolts on his neck.
@@HollywoodHaunter darn!! the one i used to have did have the bolts. when we moved i lost a lot of items and he was one of them

By any chance can you tell if there's a brand name on the dancing singing skeleton? We had this growing up and I'd love to find another one

Oh no! You would be a good tester for quality control 😉

MCLXXVII is 1977.
Thank you. I knew it stood for year but I couldn't think of the Roman numerals 👍
Why did they quit making all the fun decorations? I have some I bought new that are from the 90's most of them still work wished they would make more of them
Can you tell me the brand of the dancing skeleton- I got one for my daughter back in 1995 at spirit Halloween store
Its from great American fun corp.
That skeleton is by gemmy back in 2001 through 2007 cause I saw him in 2005
Oh also I think telco be came fitco cause I saw at a yard sale a fitco witch with that same face as the first motionette witch you shown on tape
Okay so it was probably 2001 because we broke up soon after. How interesting about the circus. I should probably do a little research and see. Thanks!
