Bad Gazpacho LLC Brings Back Spooky Charm with Vintage Scarecrow Blow Mold

SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – Bad Gazpacho LLC, a quirky little company based right here in Spokane, is making Halloween a little more…well, classic. They’re bringing back a blast from the past with their meticulously restored and re-released vintage scarecrow blow mold – the kind your grandparents probably had on their lawn. You might be asking, “Bad Gazpacho? What’s that all about?” We get that question a lot! The name is a bit of a running joke. The founders, a group of vintage-obsessed collectors, were brainstorming names and somehow landed on it. It stuck, and frankly, it’s memorable, right? We're a small team dedicated to rescuing awesome, forgotten bits of Americana and giving them new life. We’re all about quality, authenticity, and a little bit of fun. You can find us at 100 N Howard St STE R, Spokane, WA, 99201-0508 or give us a shout at 704-758-7088. But let’s get to the good stuff – the scarecrow! Forget those flimsy, plastic decorations you see everywhere. This isn't one of those. Bad Gazpacho’s vintage scarecrow blow mold is a hefty, durable piece, originally made in the 1960s and 70s. These aren’t reproductions – these are the real deal. We source these beauties from estate sales, antique shops, and dedicated collectors across the country. “We were obsessed with these as kids,” says Sarah Miller, one of the founders of Bad Gazpacho LLC. “Every October, certain houses on the block always had that classic scarecrow grinning from the lawn. It just felt like Halloween wasn't complete without it. We noticed they were getting harder and harder to find in good condition, and we thought, ‘Someone needs to bring these back!’” And they have. Bad Gazpacho doesn't just find these scarecrows, they painstakingly restore them. Each one is carefully cleaned, inspected, and any damage is repaired. “We’re not aiming for ‘perfect’ – we want to preserve the character and the history,” explains Mark Johnson, the company's restoration specialist. “A little wear and tear tells a story, you know? It shows it’s been loved and enjoyed.” The process isn’t simple. These old blow molds are made of a fairly brittle plastic, and years of exposure to the elements can take a toll. Cracks, fading, and even holes are common. Mark uses a combination of specialized adhesives, paints, and techniques to repair the damage while maintaining the original look and feel. "We've seen some pretty rough shapes come through the door," Mark laughs. "One scarecrow had a bird's nest inside it! But it's incredibly satisfying to bring something like that back to life. It’s like giving a piece of Halloween history a second chance." Why this Scarecrow Stands Out: Authentic Vintage: These aren’t cheap imitations. They're genuine vintage blow molds from the golden age of Halloween decorations. Durable Construction: Made from thick, sturdy plastic, these scarecrows are built to last. They're not going to blow away in the first gust of wind. Classic Design: The design is instantly recognizable and evokes a feeling of nostalgia. It's a timeless piece that will look great year after year. Hand-Restored: Each scarecrow is lovingly restored by hand, ensuring quality and attention to detail. Collectibility: Vintage blow molds are becoming increasingly popular among collectors. This scarecrow is not just a decoration; it’s an investment. Beyond the Scarecrow: Bad Gazpacho’s Vision Bad Gazpacho LLC isn’t just about scarecrows. They're on a mission to rescue and restore other forgotten treasures from the past. They’re currently scouting for other vintage Halloween decorations, mid-century modern collectibles, and quirky Americana. “We want to be more than just a business,” says Emily Carter, another founder. “We want to be a curator of cool stuff, a place where people can find unique and meaningful pieces that tell a story. We think there’s something special about owning something that has a history, something that’s been loved and cherished by someone else.” Where to Get Yours: Bad Gazpacho LLC’s vintage scarecrow blow molds are available for purchase directly through their website (currently under construction – keep an eye on their social media for updates!) and at select antique shops and craft fairs in the Spokane area.
