We have this ghost/ghoul decoration already in our many bins of Halloween stuff so it is not a new purchase.
This is actually one of my favorite finds. It is 14 feet long, looks really cool and was super cheap! The head is about a foot and a half tall and it has wire arms that can be positioned that are probably about 5 feet wide. the fabric is the long part, there is a body/train/tail that is made of black fabric with an overlay of grey mesh material that stretches to the 14 foot mark. We got this last year at CVS for $12, look for Halloween scores everywhere.
I like the way it looks already but we usually use colored light bulbs at our parties so some of the features can be muted. I brushed some orange and yellow black light paint over the teeth and eyes and in about 20 minutes start to finish I had an even better looking ghoul. I found a package of black light paint at Spencer's Gifts last year that come in convenient squirt tubes so you can draw thin lines right on a project or squirt some out to paint with.
Now the eyes and teeth glow when you could barely make out the face before with the black light on it. One of the best parts is that the face still looks the same in regular light because the black light paint is not opaque so this would still look the same if we left the lights on.
Do whatever you can to personalize your store bought items and make them work for you!
