So, this was my costume this year. I was inspired by some of the stalker costumes by Gore Galore although this one isn't nearly as complicated as some of those. Still, the arms are fully articulated, with controls at each elbow and the eyes glow in the dark (for a while). The monster is part puppet, part costume and worn like a backpack.

When I wore the costume on Halloween night I used different shoes and pants. And, it looks much better in fog and with the right light! I'm thinking of selling it since the kids will be expecting it next year.

Don't sell it, turn it into a static prop, when the kids are waiting for ol Frankie there to move or reach for them, you come at them from another direction in the new "scare" costume! What a way to get them, a new take on the "bait and switch"!

Looks great! and I agree with JA, turn it into a prop instead of selling it

Not a bad idea. Of course, that means I have to find a place to store it all year. Why don't I think about storage when I'm building these things!?

sell it, make some $$$$ and make another one =)

I certainly have some ideas on how I'd make it better next time! For one thing, I'd make it easier to store.
