I find myself on an unusually tight budget this Halloween, so with no extra money to apply towards props or materials, I am left to my own devices. Since I try to never wear the same costume twice in a row, I am scaring on the cheap this year.

I've never done a Grim Reaper before, as I always felt they were either too easy or too numerous, but desperate times call for deviant costumes. All it requires is a black cloak and a skull mask, materials I already own. But it must have a unique angle, yes?

So I am creating 3 or 4 static reapers as well. A simple lashed-wooden tripod frame, covered in black cloaks like mine, and identical masks. I will then stand amongst them, hidden in plain sight. I will have spent a little extra effort, but no money, to create what I hope will be an effectively terrifying technique.
Your idea sounds interesting too. Reminds me of something I've seen on youtube with the dummy reaper getting candy. It was funny how creeped out people were.

I'll see if I can dig through my drive and find those photos. Might take me a couple of days..
