This is a one-of-a-kind costume/installation. I used it to greet trick-or-treaters, but had to stop due to the huge crowds that I drew. Caravans of cars continued to come by in subsequent years hoping to see the show again. The grim reaper costume consists of the glow-in-the-dark mask, hands & feet, the black robe with top, skeletal shirt (never worn), wireless lapel mic that fits in a holder just below the nose on the inside of the mask along with the wireless system and the pitch shift pedal for lowering the voice pitch, 3 props--sickle with glow-in-the-dark blade, lantern (can use tiki torch fuel), & hour glass with fluorescent green sand. The mask has dark lenses in the eye sockets to enhance its eeriness. The mouth opens and closes with your jaw movements. Voice is not only shifted down in pitch, but amplified with reverb. The installation includes mini-fog machine, dual 4-ft black light, Centaur guitar amp/pa system with 4 inputs and reverb, and a 6-outlet power unit with surge protection included. I input scary music and sounds through the amp. I can supply the cassette tape I used or make a CD copy of it. This is a pro-level system. It would cost a lot in time and money to put this together from scratch. It's very dramatic. The kids were terrified. Some adults complained that it was too scary. One father brought her young daughter back to my house during the spring to show her that I was actually a nice person. She couldn't stop talking about it from the Halloween before. Perhaps a warning sign should be posted for trick-or-treaters. The system is portable and can be set up quickly at different locations. I used it only one time other than at my house on Halloween when I was invited to do a show at a vineyard/winery in Rancho Cucamonga. If anyone wants this system, I will help in getting it going. I can eliminate any of the items in the system if, for example, you already have a fog machine, or reverb amp, or black light. To get an idea of what the costume looks like in action, there's a short clip from Halloween 1993, unfortunately before smart phone cameras: https://youtu.be/FqueyDdLhFQ (Note: the articulated skeletal hand seen in the video was broken when I was kicked by a teen, so isn't included).
