If You Want "Realistic"?
All you basically have to do is to practise, look more closely at the human design. Subtle angles shift and make us look better instead of goofy (for most of us anyway, not all)
The darkness of a haunted application along with the sudden, quick glimpse also can make almost anything work to make someone jump, scream...
Maybe your head here is more cartoon-like but cartoons are scary to alot of people too.
I think you did pretty well on this effort, actually.
Are you going to paint it with several layers of latex now? Toughen it up.
I have built up foam board by gluing the layers together but in the center I would have a piece of sheet metal with points coming out of it numerous times to sink into the foam to actually physically secure it, then I would feature a 1/4" hole in the sheet metal at the bottom to bolt the head to whatever , a body, wall...?
I would cover the foam with Bondo to Really make it tougher and weather proof. (Notice I didn't say it was now "Idiot-Proof", that calls for thick steel and welds and bolts.
