Great job! Keep in mind though, with no air moving past that motor, it could burn up rather quickly. 
Headless Oscilatting Fan
A few weeks back a neighbor left an oscillating fan on the curb. Well, after a period of deep thought, I soon realized that it was my Halloween forum civic duty to grab it. I cleaned it a little bit and plugged the fan in the nearest electrical outlet and to my surprise it worked. Hmmmm, what to do?
Some searches on this forum later; followed by some well placed poodle noodles and clothes that my wife was going to donate to the church. I ended-up with a headless prop friend for the local elementary haunted house. A win-win-win (since it should somewhat spook a couple of the kiddies, it was simple to make and did not involve any great stuff).

As a small footnote, I tweaked the height of the oscillating fan stand a little bit. I loosened some bolts and added a small piece of pipe which made this headless man about 5'6" (which is not so bad.............afterall he is missing his neck and head).
Lovely Day.

Good observation. In my defense, a little bit of air does flow from the top of the fan. Plus, I was hoping the motion sensor would help keep the motor from over-heating.
I am hesitant to cut into the back side of the outfit to help air-flow, since it (the outfit) should be able to find a good home in the future. Oh well, we shall soon find-out; since the elementary haunted house in on the 30th.

Nice prop!
That's gotta be the best dressed headless guy I've ever seen.
