Thread: Searching for Witch heads

Tweet

I am sure everyone has seen the severed latex-foam filled heads, but I am looking for Witch heads. These foam heads work really well as I cut a hole in the bottom of them and place them on top of pvc pipe bodies. Only thing, I had a couple ideas that I wanted to do this year with witches, but cannot find any heads. Anyone know where I could buy these? I even went out to WalMart, KMart, Target, Spirit of Halloween and Party City and was unable to find a decent Witch mask that I could use..

I'd give you my mother's, but she's still using it.........

I think Zellers had some but I haven't seen many at all this year either. Online shopping perhaps?

I ran into the same problem last yr. I ended up sculpting my own faces using the wig heads as a base. The results are comical but oh well at least they are original LOL

I couldn't find any when I needed them either, and also sculpted my own. They're not perfect but they get the job done.

Newbie- what are those sculpted out of?? It looks really cool

I think your sculptures look great! Is that floam???

They are made with floam. My kids had some laying around so I decided to give it a shot. I kinda liked the bumpy texture and it was super easy to work with. Obviously the witches were my first attempt at sculpting lol but hey they're ugly, green with long noses and that was my goal.

I love them! I found one small witch mask at Dollar Tree. Obviously, it is not the greatest, but I have it hanging on the end of the cabinet above my sink. My dear young niece says it reminds her of Michael Jackson. I cracked up.

try going to a hairdresser school and see if they have any 'heads' that are not any good to them anymore. and then just put facepaint on it. I have just over 30 heads now that i use for all my dummies. You can take off the base of them and roll up the 'skin' and saw off the bottom and it is filled with stiff foam that is perfect for putting over any size of pvc or rebar or broomstick.

i have made 2 witches with masks i got from walmart one was 3$ the other 6 or 8 $ , i fitted and glued the mask to a styrofoam head and added a hat with hair for one of them , i also gave them eyes by printing iris and gluing them to a ping pong ball ....

i found another mask at zellers yesterday for 9$ was an old lady mask so planning to make a 3rd witch over the weekend

just click on my photobucket link and go to the craft and prop making 2009 album to see both witches .

I clicked on your link to see your witches and ended up spending half my morning looking at all your pics. All I can say Is WOW!!! I wanna come to your house for Halloween. Just amazing I love all your ideas and creativity. If you dont do this for a living you should consider it. And the fact that you get Halloween stuff for Christmas!!! You are so lucky wish my family would do that. LOVE IT!!!

I was trying to fugure out how you make your lifesize props bodies? They look so realistic. Where I live the wind and rain and sometimes snow just destroy everything I try. Cant wait to see next years ideas. Happy Halloween
