Line #32 Creator/GrandinRoad


1	Grandin Road is an upscale home decor company that sells products for every time of the year. However, they're perhaps best known for their "Halloween Haven" line of products that ranges from animated props to room decorations. Each year, Halloween Haven has a video that showcases many of their decorations. The props they choose to carry are usually campy and fun or elegantly spooky. Therefore, gory props that are straight-up NightmareFuel are not to be found in their assortment.

3	Compare and contrast with Creator/SpiritHalloween, which specializes in Halloween only but frequently carries the same decorations from the same providers.
4
5	!! Tropes exhibited by Grandin Road include:
6	* AbhorrentAdmirer: The Ghostly Bride seems rather determined to find a new groom. This is acknowledged in the "auditions" videos.
7	* BlackComedy: Many of the props tell jokes like this.
8	* TheBluebeard: The Ghostly Bride's husband was this.
9	* ClassicalMovieVampire: Both of the rising coffin vampires, and the vampire family figures.
10	* CreepyChangingPainting: They once sold a few animated lenticular portraits.
11	* DemBones: They've carried a few reapers, and several skeleton animals. The Towering Macabre Witch is also skeletal.
12	* DemonicDummy: Chuckie the dummy, who appears in the Ventriloquist prop and on his own.
13	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Gitana the Gypsy. "Gitana" means "Gypsy" in Spanish.
14	* EarlyBirdCameo: They have a tendency to hide upcoming Halloween Haven props in promotional photos for their summer decor.
15	* TheEndingChangesEverything: ''Into the Shadows'' is a video showing a woman's film while searching for her dog, Shadow in a haunted house. At one point, she seems to recognize a skeletal dog in a photo as her own, and gets worried. [[spoiler: However, when she finds him and reaches to pet him, she turns out to be a skeleton herself, and Shadow was undead the whole time.]]
16	* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: A few of their higher-priced items use liberal amounts of glitter.
17	* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Surprisingly, zombies are not the most common type of Halloween prop.
18	* {{Expy}}: Jack the Giant Pumpkin Man is basically a classier version of Spirit Halloween's Pumpkin Nester, with less animation.
19	* EyeOfNewt: Name-dropped by several of the witches, along with other typically "witchy" ingredients.
20	* FaceRevealingTurn: Tara [[ExorcistHead doesn't even need to turn around!]]
21	* HauntedTechnology: An old-fashioned version with the Haunted Typewriter. The keys "H-E-L-P" are repeatedly typed, while the paper moves back and forth, showing the same deranged message over and over again.
22	* LivingStatue: The Velma and Evander interactive busts, and the Medusa bust.
23	* LosingYourHead: Heads Up Harry removes his.
24	* MadScientist: Dr. Shivers.
25	* {{Medusa}}: A bust of Medusa that comes to life with a few moving snakes.
26	* MirrorMonster: The Haunted Mirror taunts you from its realm and threatens to take you away forever.
27	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: They've sold several props based on real musicians.
28	* OnlySixFaces: All of the female static figures use the same face with different makeup to make them look different.
29	* PoesLaw: When they spotlighted the Scarewolf Rug prop in one of their photos of ordinary decor, there were several angry comments from people who didn't get that it was actually a Halloween prop.
30	* PumpkinPerson: Jack the Giant Pumpkin Man, and the Witch and Interactive pumpkins.
31	* RedEyesTakeWarning: All of their static figures have red LED eyes that slowly blink on and off.
32	* RedRightHand: Half of the Spider Lady's face is missing, revealing a glowing skull.
33	* ShoutOut: The framed photos of their monstrous props on the stairs in ''Into the Shadows'' are almost certainly a reference to the "family portraits" in Franchise/TheHauntedMansion's Corridor of Doors.
34	* SpidersAreScary: The Spider Lady.
35	* TakenForGranite: The Stone Man and Woman seem to be. Perhaps it's no coincidence that they were sold alongside the Medusa bust in their year...
36	* TwoFaced: The left half of the Spider Lady's face is a skull.
37	* UpdatedRerelease: A few of the products they carried for multiple years went through visual or technical overhauls, like the Medusa Bust changing to have rotating writhing snakes instead of up-and-down snakes, or the talking busts changing from granite aristocrats to marble vampires.
38	* WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve: Subverted, one of the haunted clocks strikes ''thirteen''.
