I told myself I didn't need the Levitating Reaper because I already have a 10' reaper, 15' phantom, and 12' ghost for my cemetery. After watching a few videos, I'm telling myself I could use it with the Predator of the Night and Ferry of the Dead to make a cool underworld scene. 😆
Hahaha, don't you love how we can convince ourselves that we need to buy more cool Halloween props? I did that with a couple of items during our Home Depot stream, and so far I am happy with everything I received. Of course, you really could make an amazing underworld scene with those props together, so I agree!
Thanks! Reaper is super cool, and looks even better in person. Saw you got Carnival Carl and Frankenstein's Monster, both great props. Any other props you are picking up from Home Depot this year? Thanks for watching!
No surprise here.. but I think this is without a doubt the best prop of the year! My absolute favourite.. I’m very jealous. Loved the intro.. love the awkward laughing 😂😂 Great video bud 💀🎃👻
It'll be between this guy and Captain Cuts for me, but he is strong contender for my number one as well. I was surprised to see the light even has a slight flicker effect to it. His laugh is a bit awkwardly long though...Thanks for watching Dan!
@@chrisg2419 The plan right now is to build my pirate ship where they are standing. So while they will definitely be either part of the haunt or part of the party decorations, they can't stay where they are. You would think I would be smart enough to build him where I can keep him up, but nope, I did not, lol.
I agree! He looks great and he actually makes sense being this size. Super happy with him so far. Did you pick up anything from the Home Depot drop this year?
@@RyanzHauntz Nice! I didn't even see Chucky available that morning, he was gone before we found him. He looks amazing. I hope we get a video about him.
Thanks! Glad you were able to get this awesome prop. He might be my favorite too, but I am excited to see Captain Cuts in person. It'll be one of these two for sure. Thanks for watching!
Hahaha, I mess up all the time with these, and I always think I am pretty competent at it. Clearly not, lol. Good to know I'm not the only one. Reaper is awesome, I think you'll be very happy with him.
He is very cool and will look great overseeing my graveyard this year. I just have to fix the clothing so others don't have to jump around to set off the sensor like I did. Thanks for watching Cindy!
Glad you got this awesome prop, even if you have to wait a little longer. Honestly, I probably could have waited, I have three 12 footers standing in my driveway right now and they all have to come down soon so I can start building my haunt. Reaper is awesome though, it'll be worth the wait.
I love the look, and he looks even better at night all lit up. The light even has a slight flicker effect to it which I did not expect. Thanks for watching!
is there any spots in the back that you can use to anchor to the wall (for wind/security)? most of the main pole looks to be covered with the plastic scythe.
There is not a place set up to connect it to, but you could tie something to the body, there is a metal pole in the body. Not the best option, I would prefer to put weights on the bottom, but you do have that option. Thanks for watching!
Just picked mine up! Definitely looks cool and spooky! A little intimidated now after seeing the assembly. Not exactly as intuitive to put together as most props… so I can see why everyone complains about the witches assembly.
Overall he isn't too bad to put together (even if I did make a bunch of mistakes.) I feel the witch is a bit more frustrating due to the bottom of the broom. Otherwise they are pretty similar. But he is totally worth it and I believe is a much better prop than the witch. I think you'll love it.
While I think the reaper is a cooler prop because it moves and I love his look, if you want something that feels massive and is more impressive from the street then the Inferno Pumpkin is probably a better buy for you. I don't have the Inferno Pumpkin, but I have the 12 foot Skeleton and the Inferno Deadwood Skeleton. The reaper, while still a huge prop, feels a lot smaller than both of those props. I also think the Inferno Pumpkin probably is one of the most impressive props form the street because of the way he lights up. Both great buys, depends on what you want, but based on your question the Inferno Pumpkin Skeleton might be a better fit.
I really like him; he is a great statement piece for any haunt. If Home Depot continues the current trend, then they will most likely have him back next year. Especially if he sells well. They brought back the 12 ft witch for the third time this year with a costume change, so I expect the same for this guy. Thanks for watching!
@@ScareDad thanks for replying!! It looks like I will have to wait since it’s sold out for now and even when I get him, I will have to get that extra shed 😮💨😓😅 Awesome content!
I have bought two other figures from this vendor. This one was the hardest one to assemble. Parts didn't fit, the pin locks were very weak and the wood stick for the cycle, the first piece was too short.
I found putting on the clothing to be the most frustrating part of this one. I agree, definitely not the easiest build, but the worst by far is the Immortal Werewolf from Home Depot. I hate building that one every year. Both props look so cool when built though, I put up with the torture. After all the work, I hope you still enjoy him. Happy Halloween!
Love the look of him. I did not see him set up in any of my local stores, but was able to get him online. I know others have seen him in store, weird ours don't have him. He is super cool though and looks great in person. Audio could be a little louder, but it isn't terrible. Overall a great prop!
I just picked up mine and the box was pretty mangled. I’m too lazy to set him up to see if there are any problems yet though. Thanks for a super in depth video.
Your box was mangled too? What the heck is happening with the warehouse shipping these out? Hopefully everything is okay. I was sure something would be missing in mine, but it all seems to be there. He is a great prop though, I think you'll be very happy. Thanks for watching!
The sensor is at the bottom of the chest piece (I mention it around 3:10 in the video.) I have not set mine back up yet, but I think it was the clothing that was partially blocking my sensor. Maybe try adjusting his robes and hopefully you can get it to work better. Thanks for watching!
I agree that he is one of the best! Really love this one so far. The build quality is pretty good, so I think he would fair well enough in the wind. That said, we don't often get crazy wind here (especially in my driveway which is cut into the ground) so I can't say for sure. Thanks for watching!
That intro😂 How's his audio in person? HD canceled my order from the orginal release so now I'm not sure if I want to get it again since I've heard complaints about it. PS: this is "firstname" from the livestream. I ended up getting Chucky later on that day after I messaged costumer service to change his Hanukkah listing lol. Thankfully that order didn't get canceled and he's coming tomorrow. Thanks again for the tips that day!
Audio sounds better in person. Maybe it could be a little a clearer, but I didn't think it was too bad. You'll notice in my video that occasionally you hear the jaw hit. Not enough to be too distracting, but that is definitely there. I have to see about fixing that. I am pretty happy with him, he is an intimidating presence. I'll have to see what others are complaining about, but for $300 I am impressed. Awesome that you got Chucky! He looks so good. I hope I get to see him in person. I enjoy the Child's Play movies, and while I have no way to use Chucky in my haunt, I still kind of want this just for how amazing of a prop he is. It was a lot of fun hanging out on Home Depot night, I appreciate you joining us!
No issues with rain at all. Mine was in my driveway so not staked down and the wind did knock him over once. More my fault than the prop though, as he should be staked to the ground and supported in some way. I kept him down after that, but he appears to have survived the fall in tact.
This reaper is $300 and should be appearing in stores soon. In my area no Home Depots have Halloween out yet, but in other places the stores are fully set up, so that just depends on where you live. Thanks for watching!
Yes he is! The reaper is waterproof and rated for winds up to 30 miles per hour according to SVI. Mine has seen plenty of rain this pat week and so far so good. Thanks for watching!
Hahaha. Now that you put it in my mind I kind of hope the real reaper does sound like Norm McDonald. Heck, just have Norm himself take me to the afterlife. It might make the whole experience less traumatic. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for making my day! The beginning conversation with the reaper literally make me LOL! Love this.
Love that you appreciate my crazy humor. Reaper is a cool prop, even if he does laugh for an uncomfortably long time. Thanks for watching!
@@ScareDad absolutely! Picked mine up 2 days ago. Plan to set him up this weekend and check everything out. Thanks for your vid!
Great video! He looks amazing!!

I loved the sketch at the beginning! Genuinely made me giggle.
Thanks! I am always happy when someone enjoys my dumb humor. I appreciate you watching!
Great intro! Great prop! Definitely my favorite this year.
Thanks! He is super cool. I know I need to take down my 12 footers so I can work on my haunt, but I love having him up. Thanks for watching Chris!
@@ScareDad aren't the 12 footers going to be part of the haunt?
@@chrisg2419 The plan right now is to build my pirate ship where they are standing.

@@ScareDad lol 😆 hopefully you can get someone to help you move them instead of taking them apart.
Hes easily one of the best 12ft props ever, hes so sick!
I agree! He looks great and he actually makes sense being this size. Super happy with him so far. Did you pick up anything from the Home Depot drop this year?
Ryanz alive
@@ScareDad Yes, 12ft reaper, the pumpkin archway, and chucky so far!
@@Jk_haunter Yes I am alive yes
@@RyanzHauntz Nice! I didn't even see Chucky available that morning, he was gone before we found him. He looks amazing. I hope we get a video about him.
Great video man! I agree, I just set my reaper up and he is my favorite prop of the year.
Thanks! Glad you were able to get this awesome prop. He might be my favorite too, but I am excited to see Captain Cuts in person. It'll be one of these two for sure. Thanks for watching!
This made me laugh, glad I’m not the only one who messes up steps like this! 😆 picked up my reaper yesterday, thanks for the tutorial!
Hahaha, I mess up all the time with these, and I always think I am pretty competent at it. Clearly not, lol. Good to know I'm not the only one. Reaper is awesome, I think you'll be very happy with him.
He is amazing!

Can't wait to get mine on July 31st, easily my favorite 2024 prop and favorite 12 footer
Definitely my favorite 12 footer so far. Awesome that yours should be coming in soon. He looks even better in person. Thanks for watching!
Man he is glorious!
He is pretty amazing! Did your order come in yet?
It look cool love how his chest changed colors love his that
He is really cool. Love the color options and how he even has a slight flicker effect. Thanks for watching!
Looks awesome, can’t for mine to arrive. Apparently my area is last for deliveries. He’s not expected to be delivered till mid August 😢

Home Depot hit a home run with this guy. He looks great floating in front of our flower garden, lol. Thanks for watching!
Sweet

between this and the pumpkin inferno which one is better? my fear with this one is that it won't look as big as the floor to head inferno

I did get one he really makes the cemetery I set up for Halloween look really good. His clothes were kind of a pain to get on, but I figured it out.

Where is the sensor? We are having the same issue and can’t seem to be able to set it off unless we are right there.

One of the best 12 footers but idk if he can handle that much wind

Price??🧐🧐
He was $300. Compared to the price of other props, I think it's a steal.
@@ScareDad it’s freaking awesome for sure 👍🏼👍🏼 and worth the money
👍👍 I love mine!
He is such a great prop! Glad you were able to pick him up.
How does it holdup in the wind and rain?
No issues with rain at all. Mine was in my driveway so not staked down and the wind did knock him over once. More my fault than the prop though, as he should be staked to the ground and supported in some way. I kept him down after that, but he appears to have survived the fall in tact.
