He knows the real key to my heart-strings... spooky talking gargoyles. :)

BTW, it was $89 and change. That's not too outrageously high, and the quality is awesome.

It was at Sam's. It has two dialouges that it goes thru for the TOTs, its wings move, and the face is made of some kind of rubber so the mouth movements are more realistic.

Did I mention I love my husband? Cause I do... alot.

Wow, may get a pair of those instead of doing the other hack I was planning with the $20 Gargs... Being that they're from Sam's I wonder if Wally-World will carry them when their Halloween stuff goes out. If so will have to snag em fast because I bet these guys will go quick.

I would get two, mount them on cemetery gate pillars and hack them to talk to each other. Very cool!

Night Owl
08-28-2008, 11:17 PM
I like the hack idea, but lack the know how. If anybody does hack this thing, please let me know how you do it!

Oh, and Scary Godmother... My husband has no brothers. :( Unless of course you were talking about the gargoyle. He had a shelf full of 'em. :)

I hope you gave him a little sumthin' sumthin' for such an awesome gift. Heck, I'd give him a little sumthin' sumthin' if he sent a talking gargoyle to me.

But, of course. Positive reinforcement, I always say.

PS... you, sir, are hilarious. :p

Doc, this is exactly what I was thinking. I don't have a Sam's membership. But since Sam's and Wal-Mart are technically the same company I hope to see these on the Wal-Mart shelves next week. If not I sure hope I can find these bad boys online someplace. But I'm sold, THESE WILL be my column gargoyles this year - oh yes, they WILL be!

Isn't it great when your spouse really knows what you like!

Dang I need to find someone with a Sam's Club membership (I have one for Costco).

I see the Gargoyle on the Sam's website, but no luck on Walmart's site.

Does one need a membership to buy online too? I'm not a member of any of the wholesale clubs :(

LOL, I did mean your husband, but alas, I guess I will have to settle for the gargoyle's brother!:jol:

Yeah, Sickie... I know what you mean. The sound quality of my video leaves alot to be desired... but in person it's perfectly clear. I have to admit though, I wish I could tweak it a bit to speed it up. The voice does drag a little. Still, I love it like crazy!

As for you, Scary... Don't worry, he's a perfect gentleman. He's all like, "sit down, relax. I've prepared a coffin for you". :)

You have to be a member to buy online or in person.

Ya figured... Knew in person, wasn't sure about online... Well, we were lookin for an excuse to get a membership and this seems to be a good one, even got the thumbs up to do so from the SO.

Went and got a membership and nabbed one. Trying to resist the urge to open it up and hack it :D

Just got mine. Can't wait to check it out this weekend.

Night Owl you should get paid a commission by Sam's for the free advertising:D.

I like it! I'll be waiting for a full hack report should anyone figure out how.

How wonderful of you husband. Cool gargoyle.

Night Owl

I'm just glad my husband brought him home, and glad you guys get a crack at a really fun prop for this season. Not to mention how great this has been for "The Cause"... as in getting my husband to join forces with the likes of us around the Haunt Forum. Seeing everybody's enthusiasm for this prop has sparked his interest... Now he wants to see what ya'll have been up to with your haunts. I think he might actually want to, *gasp* get involved in the whole process. He has ideas! He wants to help me BUILD a prop! You guys have no idea how huge that is... Thanks for the help ;)

Good for him! A supportive spouse means a lot! Mine, I'm happy to say, is taking forever, but is finally coming around mm by mm.

Night Owl

Yay, Sickie! Doesn't it just warm the cockles? ;)

I bought a lifesize skelly prop from a tip on HF for $23. (thanks, again) He was delivered, assembled, and propped up at the end of the hall. After a few beers the other night, the huband and I dressed him up. It was in gloriously bad taste, and long story short, we christened him "Osama Been Rotten".

A watershed moment, people... :D

I'll probably hack mine next year. Considering what this guy cost and the stuff coming out his mouth ain't half bad I just don't have the heart to open it up this year. But he IS scheduled for surgery in 2009Q1 (maybe as early as January).

Night Owl, I have to ponder the same question Denis Leary does - where exactly is the cockles locate, does any one really know ;)

Oh, wow oh wow oh wow... I want I want I want! I'm not even sure if there's a Sam's within 100km of here, membership or not! No!

And TM, a "cockle" is a term for the ventricles. "warm the cockles of one's heart". Just NW of the left nipple. :D

I still need to build a column for mine.

I saw a mini versions of these gargoyles at a Party City store (he talked and his eyes lit up).
