Halloween Project 2009

This is what I have done on my halloween project for this year so far. Still have work to do and I know it isn't perfect but I don't have a huge budget to work with. I still think trick or treaters will be pretty entertained by it when it is in my yard on halloween night in my cemetery. If you have any suggestions please share them. Thanks.

where didu get those head- Bust- from those are nice!!

[jrbgusrocky]

The bust are just wig heads I got off ebay and then got some 3 inch PVC pipe and made the bases. I made their chest out of 2" styrafoam which I glued together then made ties and collars just out of paper. I then used white acyrilic caulking to fill in the gaps and then painted everything white. It is basically just a hack job but I think they turned out ok.

The one on the right looks AWESOME Really spot-on and great expressions. I suggest trying to illuminate the WHOLE bust with the white spotlight. I cant wait to see the completed project!!!!

[jrbgusrocky]

Yeah that one on the right is my brother, he did a really great job. Unfortunately I cannot get mine to look that good. Maybe I need to shave?? I think my face is the wrong size for the heads. I will try to illuminate the whole area but my projector is pretty low power so I don't want to wash it out. Thanks for the input

Please answer fast, halloween is only 9 days away...lol

Hey this Halloween project is really cool. Nuts & Volts magazine are holding a "Halloween Horrors" contest for Halloween projects. Its a video contest for projects like this. You should upload it and see if you win! You can enter on their Facebook or go to there website and enter through there. Good Luck buddy! :)

where did you get the audio for the haunted machion

[thecopykidofthestarz]

to prevent the mouth going under the chin Disney made the chin curve down into the neck so it can have a wider range of movement.

[zeemeerminnengek]

Well its very smart made i must say. but the next time if you make a video for the heads, be sure that the one being recorder is painted as pale as possible. and try to aim a light on the one while filming. that wil take away the shadows and black spots i saw
