Thread: My New and Inproved Jack the Pumpkin King

Tweet

This year for Halloween I'm making My own verson of Jack the Pumpkin King from The Nightmare before Christmas. I even added a little bit of a Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow style to make him look scarier. Right now I'm figuring out how to put the Halloween Town sign behind his head and a "burning" effect. this scarecrow is 100% made of stuff i found in the trash and my left overs from last year's Pumpkin King. I would like some suggestions and what you guys think. ^__^

I hot glued wire hangers and made a hollow torso. His head, torso, and wooden base can be seperated The torso is fragile, but it does stay in a good shape. It looks butiful in person. I torn up the "shirt" and made it look "ugly and dark". He is a master of fright after all

And if you have ideas to make his burning effect more realistic i would love to know I have a vary low budget, and i usly find stuff in people's trash or thrift stores.

Thank you for viewng ^__^

He looks awesome!!!!
Welcome to the forum looking forward to seeing lots of stuff from you.

I think he looks really good!
The burning effect is a nice twist. I think it looks good like it is.
Nice work!

Thank you DaveintheGrave and Halloween71 ^__^ this is such a good site. I will update when I add more to him

I have added the Halloween Town sign that you can easly remove from the scarecrow

I like the improvements. I especially like the string of lights that run from the ground up through his body. It gives the impression of fire. May have to look at doing something like that to mine. Great job.
