Well, I'm always willing to cut off apendages for cash (lots of cash, mind you)...

You mean decent looking fakes, right? God, I hope so... This is probably the perfect time to be looking; I've been in a couple of halloween stores lately and have seen severed heads, arms, fingers, etc.

You could also try making some; I'm no expert on the subject, but creating a mold of your own arm (or whatever part you want) isn't too difficult.

Nobody lives forever, so you might as well go out with a good caffeine buzz...

There's always hope, because it's the one thing that they haven't figured out how to kill yet...

Hey Stranger,

There are bunches of places - especially this time of year - that sell decent looking, reasonably priced body parts and such, that are online and who have a reasonbaly good product line. Right off the bat, BodyTek is one site I'm aware of. Another GREAT one is a place called Chamber or Horrors who are also online. They both have web sites. But there are others. Run a search for Halloween props and see what you come up with. You're bound to have dozens of places from which to choose. And as I said, this time of year they come out of the woodwork. OOOOOOooo!!! There's a great title for a cool horror film "Out Of The Woodwork" - huh, huh? Whatcha think?

Anyway, if you can't find these two, E-Mail me and I'll send you their addresses if I can find their bookmarks. I have them at home and I'm at work.

Good luck!!

Have you looked in a "Things You Never Knew Existed" catalog? They have several severed body parts (including a head, at least in the Halloween issue) which are generally better quality than what you would find in a store. And if the severed body part(s) aren't realistic enough for your tastes, you could always "dress" them up by adding more blood, decay and rot effects, etc. If you want I could send you a picture of the body parts they offer (the head is $49.98).

They have tons of 'em. Heads, hands, legs, and whole bodys. I have never gotten any from them as I make mine, but I have gotten makeup there before. It's real cheap.

Go to your local mall and see if it has a store called Spencers it's owned by Universal and sells novelty items they have severed arms and legs for sale for about 5 to 10 bucks pretty cheap if I say so myself. And they have severed heads for about 35$ that look awesome I bought mine two years ago and is still in pretty good shape.
