The flying witch everyone photographs
Mounted on the pole she really does read as hovering. People stop and take pictures every single night.

Motion, sound and a build that survives October outdoors.

Sound-activated, plug-in, outdoor
A 10.5-foot witch stretched flat out in mid-flight, both hands on the top of a broom planted on a low stand, cape and rags streaming out behind her. She holds still until voices set her off, then she moves. A front-lawn piece: plug-in, built to stay out for the whole month.
She isn't standing, she's flying. Body flat out with both green hands choked up at the top of the broomstick, magenta cape and green rag skirt trailing like she just cleared the roofline. From the sidewalk the stand is easy to miss and she reads as hovering.
Besides the sound trigger there's a foot pad on a wire. Tuck it under the doormat or at the last porch step and she fires the moment a kid lands on it. It's a second way to set her off, one you place, so the scare lands at the door with the candy bowl in reach.
Green face, mouth open, orange eyes, gray hair, no blood anywhere. The scare level sits at slightly scary, which is the right setting for a street with strollers: the little ones squeal and keep walking, the parents stop for the photo.
Plug her in at dusk, run the cord along the walk, drop the pad where the line forms. Every group that comes up the path sets her off, and the ones still on the sidewalk watch it happen. November 1st, broom off the stand, cape folded in, and she goes flat into the tote until next year. Delivery runs 5 to 7 days, 3 to 4 on express.
What holds up
Mounted on the pole she really does read as hovering. People stop and take pictures every single night.
The footpad trigger is fun but the pole wants level ground. A paver under the base fixed the lean.
