I've come to the tough decision to retire the first big prop we built.

Mostly due to space, and to the desire to move on to bigger and better things, I figured I'ld ask if anyone out there was interested before filling a trash can with it...

June 2006, a dark shape took form in the back yard...




Soon, a head.



The hope was always to hook up fog to the head, but I was never sure I could get the fog to climb the pipe 6 ft into the head in our cold temperatures. It had me dancing in the dark when it actually worked.



Jack was named Jack Jackula by the boys, and we made trips around the neighborhood collecting "ugly sticks" to build him in October. It was Jack that started the whole thing...not only was this guy crazy lighting fires on Halloween, but what the heck is he gonna build NEXT?





Designed as an entrance from day one, he quickly became a photo op that year.



2007, Jack didn't fit in, and soon found himself cast to sentry duty on a little corner of grass between my house and the neighbors.



By 2008, however, Jack had made his way back to the haunt proper, fitting the opening in our fence PERFECTLY, as if inspired so long ago.



He served the role well, my little niece here among those refusing to pass behond his glaring stare into what lay beyond.



It should be no surprise, then, that Jack was first among the things placed in '09.



Good bye Jack. You will be missed....

Jack comes in 3 pieces. The Center, and the two 'arms'.

Currently there is a bunch of grass and sticks threaded through the chickenwire frame.

A tube runs from ground level up to the head to allow for fog to make it's way up to the head. I've ran it with one of the cheap 700W Spencers/Spirit fog machines from the beginning.

The head lights up with or without fog, but it looks a lot better with the fog.

The Head could also use a new paint job, but still looks decent from a distance, and you can't tell at night.

Just shoot me a PM if you're interested.
