Thread: Scary, Curly and Oh!

Tweet

So I was thinking of creating a cemetery caretaker prop to oversee the activities in my (yet to be constructed) graveyard. I figured that if I build a caretaker/gravedigger dude, then I will have to do the cemetery, right?

Anyway, I knew I wouldn't have the time (or skills) to sculpt a head/face for him in time for this years activities, so I went on a search online for a mask to use for the prop.

Now I had a major decision to make, buy the ultimate scary mask and the children don't eat this week, or find a bargain mask and alter it as needed to make it work.

I stumbled across this fine fellow that seemed to have a facial expression that I could work with.

Can you imagine this guy straining to look (not with his current ping pong ball eyes) out into the darkness, with a nice cap, add some hair and eyebrows, and a weathered old jacket, and holding up a antique flickering lantern?

The second picture reveals his true identity. Not bad for $15.00 delivered, huh?

I think it will work just fine. Definitely does not look like Curly!

I think that's a perfect expression for a cemetery caretaker!

That's what I thought. The mask face might be saying, "nyuck nyuck nyuck," but I'm hearing, "hit me in the head with a hamma?"

My sincere apologies to the non-Stooges fans....

My favorite Curly quote: "I'm tryin' to think, but nothin happens!"

"Soitenly!"

I'm afraid of what you may have started by adding a Curly quote.

My favorite: I can't see, I can't see!" "What's'a'matter!?" "I got my eyes closed."

There is hope for the world. I watched an episode with my 10 year daughter recently, she couldn't stop laughing.

"If at first you don't suck seed, keep on suckin' 'til you do suck seed!" NYUK, NYUK....

Okay, just one more. Curly and Moe:

"You mean I'm um-day in pig language?" "You're um-day in any language."

My 16 year old son requested that I cover Curly's face in the garage (sitting on a shelf). He's getting creeped out by it. I guess I bought the right mask, huh?
