Ok so every year I hang a crashing witch outside of my second story window. About 5 years ago I bought several of them for a dollar at target and just toss them because they are made of cheap garbage bag plastic.

This year I am out!!! And I have been to Walgrees, Target, Garden Ridge, Kroger and Big Lots only to find a $15.00 animated one at Target. I need it to be cheap since I can really only hang it with tape. Has anyone seen any this year?? People stop their cars to check it out every year and I love having those decorations that stand out. PLEASE HELP

By the way I live in Louisville KY if that helps narrow down where I can go.

Have you tried the Dollar Stores? Here in Indiana they are called the Dollar Tree and Deals, I have seen them there before. HTH :)

Well I went to Walmart but it is much like the one at Target. I cant hang it because there is nothing to hang it on. I need one I can tape up.

Anyone else seen one around.

The only suggestion I can make to you is try Ebay. They sell EVERYTHING.

How about making your own? I know there are foam craft kits around, usually they are under a foot big but maybe you can just buy your own foam and make one yourself that way?

I saw one at Micheals and one at a part supply store. Check out your local party supply store and see if they have something. They are usually real cheap there.
