This is my first post here. I was curious what projects people were thinking of doing this year. I'm thinking of a rocking chair with a dead lady with a bag over her head (seen Black Christmas??)
I had alot of fun last year with purchased props, but I also made a couple and I want to do more this year. Even though I had a lifesize animated freddy and jason, the hit was the Michael Myers I made myself. I bought one of those Michael's head on a stick at Walmart (cheaper than the mask and better cause it has eyes). Then I went to a thrift shop to get some used shoes, etc.
I used pipe cleaners to form the fingers and coat hangers to help form the arms and hold the legs to the shoes, etc. I put a cordless cd player in the bushes playing they creapy music from the movie. I had several adults tell me it creeped them out so much they didnt want to get too close. I'll post the pic - won't be as scary cause the photo I took was when it was still light, but I hope to get better pics this year. I'll also post a few pics of freddy, etc. when I figure out how to do it here.
