Thread: Scary scarecrow sayings

Tweet

So I'm recording audio for my scarecrow to speak, and I'm totally dead in the water as far as what to have it say. I've got a few, but looking for ideas.

As people approach, it will do a few things... head will raise, eyes will light, sounds will happen, and sometimes it will speak. Some phrases I have so far:

"I feed on your fear and tonight, I feast!"

"I can smell your fear"

and

"The smell if your fear is intoxicating"

I want creepy stuff like that. But I'm not that creative

Any thoughts on short sayings? I'd like about 10 total.

Oh, here's one I made and uploaded to youtube to show off

I don't just scare crows.

"Beware the children in the corn, they look angry."

"Listen to the crows...what beautiful music they make as they feed."

if you're looking for "lighter" stuff, maybe...

"hey! no smoking! some of us burn easy"

So... you've come for the candy... have you?
Well get your fill...
because...
I have come for you!!!!!

yeah looking for some lighter stuff too so I can hit the 'tone it down' button when little kids come

This makes me think of that movie HUSK, have you guys seen it??*shiver* its about a scarecrow sort of.

How about

Do you know what crows and i have in common? we can both be involved in a murder! (since thats what a flock of crows is called)


as a generic response

You are the second person to say that to me, want to know where the first one is?

I used to look just like YOU!

Oh look new treats, oops i mean friends! Welcome

Did you hear that?

(is he going to be on a pole or hanging?)

Can you help me down, i promise to behave?

Did you know a scarecrows favorite drink is blood, WARM?

Crow always leaves me hungry, maybe you will be more substantial.

You can look but if you touch the last thing you will hear is your scream.

"Lions and tigers and bears. Oh my!"

Sorry, someone had to...

Love some of those. He's actually going to be highly animated. The head is, at rest, tilted forward and down, like it's hanging there. As people approach the head will raise, the head will alight from within, and the brow can furrow and it can make a sneer with it's 'lip'.

I actually found an app that I can integrate into my ipad, as well as the controller hardware for it, and basically make a soundboard for the thing. It'll have 2 modes... the first is automatic. It's set off by a motion sensor and/or laser tripwire, and does a random routine. The second mode will allow me to override it and control it manually. It's the manual control where I can have fun with it.

I'm planning on making a soundboard for it... Yes, no, maybe, I dont know, you're making me angry, etc... so kids can have a conversation with it.

The big 'scare' with it though is it's rigged to dive forward off it's pole and scream as it does so. Like that terrible vampire prop that spirit halloween has. It's the stupidest looking thing, and as I approached it in store to examine just how bad it is, I didnt see I stepped on the pressure pad, and it lunged forward, and I, at 36 years old and a veteran haunter, screamed like a 12 year old girl as it hurtled it's cheap plasticy goodness at me.

Here's a link to it:

I saw that and thought "I can do better!"

I couldnt possibly be more excited to finish the build. So far it's on the pole, the head is done, just need to get the mechanics in the head working (the head raising, and the servo's operating the brow and lip), get the shirt on it, and rig up the release and rewind mechanism for it. It's a LOT of work, but this is a centerpiece worthy of a $4000 prop sale if you ask me. Maybe I should go into business making this stuff? Nah, too much other stuff to do!

Thanks for the ideas all, keep them coming. And like I said - I want some more tame ideas to for when I turn kiddie mode on... no lunging, and cuter sayings...

I ate a lot of stuffing last thanksgiving, does it show?

have you seen a little dog named toto

ACHOO i think i am allergic to hay.
