Buffy's Alyson Hannigan shows off Halloween decorations that are real props from '90s show

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Alyson Hannigan gave fans a real Halloween treat when she took them on a tour of her home "graveyard". On Instagram, the actress showed off her incredible Halloween display, which featured several props from the 90's show.

Hannigan opened the video telling fans she was giving them: "A little graveyard tour Buffy style," before moving next to a tombstone which read: "Ariel Jane - 1938-2000. Beloved Daughter."

"One of the benefits of being on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was that set dec gave me a bunch of Halloween stuff," she shared.

"They used to loan me things for Halloween and then when the show was over, they were like, 'Just take it all.'"

The actress explained that the tombstones she had would have featured in the show’s opening credits, adding that the Ariel Jane one was "so incredible" yet had "seen better days".

Hannigan then showed off an iconic prop — the cross Spike draped himself on in season seven to show he had gotten his soul back. However, the actress wasn't sure exactly where the cross was from, telling fans: "I bet you can tell me when you’ve seen this."

The actress also had an open casket with a skeleton climbing out, that she said was "really fragile," as it is nearly 30 years old. "So gross, it’s so creepy," Hannigan said of the prop. "I love it!"

Fans in the comments were overjoyed at seeing the pieces of Buffy history, with one commenting: "This isn’t only one of the coolest things ever but I’m super happy they let you keep those things to be loved and used instead of thrown out."

Another fan added: "Thank you for not only preserving these relics, but also sharing them with the fans!! More please!!!"
