Come One, Come All To....

...The Creepy Time Spectacular! 


Turn the volume up, the lights down and expand to full-screen for some frightful thrifted finds set to some equally creepy music. 

I may not have a stage or a studio to display my creepy collection of thrifted playthings. But I still have YouTube, damn it! And this is just the first of what will be many videos, slideshows and perhaps even podcasts from Let's Go Thrifting! I hope to feature thrifted collections, thrifty tips, thrift-spirational stories and more. Be sure to tune in to the Let's Go Thrifting YouTube channel again in the future.

So, if I didn't scare you all away...what thrifted finds would be cast in your Creepy Time Spectacular?

True Tales of Thrifted Terror

"Hi there! Wanna play?"

I've always loved horror moves. Don't ask me why crazed killers, mysteries of the macabre or demonically possessed playthings are appealing. I guess that, in most cases, the horror genre is such an elaborate demonstration of fiction. And maybe it's this totally false imagery and information that I'm attracted to...in seeing just how far the imagination can reach to scare the living crap out us. 

So it's no surprise that I've begun a little collection fit for just this occasion. Welcome to the True Tales of Thrifted Terror. 

And with this thrifted doll, the imagination doesn't have to reach very far at all. Just look at it. 

Oddly reminiscent of Hannibal. Am I right? 

Evil baby doll says, "I don't do tea parties." 

This porcelain doll was salvaged from the Montgomeryville Impact for $1.50

I don't know much about it except for it's off-set blue eyes, painted lashes and brows, creepy grin and...oh yeah...missing scalp!?!? Maybe it was attacked during some sort of zombie-doll apocalypse? 

Sweet dreams, thrifters. 

Until next time...keep those creepy dolls locked in the basement where they belong. Or just don't buy them in the first place. Leave that to the professionals. Now if you will excuse me, I have to install a new deadbolt on the bedroom door.
