@Diamondgruff Thank you very much!

@hytinendc18 The frame like all the other characters that I made, was made from 2x2 pine lumber... Real basic frame. For fill I used crumpled up newspaper. For the head I used insulating expansion foam that I sprayed repeatedly on a small piece of 2x2 lumber and then I shaped it after it dried with a fillet knife. Then after shaping it I pulled the mask over the head form, and glued in some glass eyes from a taxidermy supply shop... The hands, fake severed head, and knife purchased as well.

@MissTanyaLea - continued from the prior comments... the head was made from expansion foam, you know the kind you use for insulation. I sprayed it on a 2x2 piece of lumber, and let it dry and harden. I then sculped it to make a believable head shape, and then glued in some glass eyes from a taxidermy supply company, and then slid on the mask... I think out of all the creations I have made, he is my master piece! Thanks again!

@MissTanyaLea Thank you very much for the very kind words. My Jason is pieced together odds and ends from around the garage. I used 2x2 lumber for the frame. I went to the Salvation Army and bought his clothes. I spent a while bleaching the jacket to rot the fabric so that it would tear easy, then I dyed it along with a white pair of overalls... Yeah they were white.. I dyed them black, and then prepared to dress a 2x2 frame. I then stuffed the clothes with crumpled up newspaper.

@Gleek369 walking around and filming wasn't hard at all. I used the fold out screen on my camcorder. I used Adobe Soundbooth to mix the music that was playing live. I mixed the theme song from Halloween and merged that with the Jason Vorhees "Cha cha cha" sound... The sad thing is I only get about 12 trick or treaters every year. I mainly do this for myself, I really enjoy it.

Great job, I really liked the corpses/zombies coming out of the graves. When you zoom in at Jason at the end I swear I was preparing for that to be a real person under the mask who was going to jump at the camera and scare the cupcakes out of me!

@iamthenra1968 ok great! thanks for the response!

[hytinendc18]

your setup is amazing!! was the Michael Myers store bought or did you make it yourself? If you made it yourself, what was the frame made out of and how did you fill it to make it look real?
