Light-up lantern and eyes, outdoor, freestanding
The reaper that brought his own lamppost
A hooded skeleton in layers of torn gray fabric, one bony hand gripping a black cast-iron-look lamppost with an amber lantern up top, blue eyes lit under the hood. It doesn't move; it stands there and glows, which at the far end of a dark walkway is plenty. The round base means it goes wherever the ground is flat: lawn edge, driveway, beside the porch steps.
Comes with its own lamppost and base
Most reapers need a post, a hook, or a tree limb to hang from. This one arrives with the gaslight pole and a round, fluted base, so it stands on a flat patch of lawn, the driveway edge, or the porch landing without you hunting for something to tie it to.
One hand on the post, one hand out
The skull faces you, jaw open, so the pose reads from the street. Face it down the walkway and every kid coming up has to pass the outstretched hand; angle it toward the door and it looks like it's showing them in.
Slightly scary, the front-yard dose
Grinning skull, blue eyes, shredded gray robes, nothing dripping. That's the right level for the lawn the four-year-olds walk past holding a parent's hand. Keep the heavy stuff for the side yard and let this one work the curb.
Halloween night, then back in the tote
On the night it holds its corner under its own amber light, blue eyes on the sidewalk, while you're busy at the door. Built to stay out through October, not just the one evening. On November first the lantern goes dark, the robes fold down, and the whole thing goes flat into the tote until next year.
