Halloween is one of my favorite secular holidays. Aside from it being so close to my birthday, it’s a chance for people to dress up and wear costumes. It’s like Comic Con for normal people!
I didn’t have time to fully decorate this year except for finding me a really cool skull from Dapitan Arcade. Good thing my sister’s office was having kids over and they planned to make their office a haunted house. She got some stuff from the mall and asked for my help.
That being said, I went to work for the better part of Monday (while we were also preparing for guards to come for my pre birthday get together).
Out of the round styro balls, I made bloody eyeballs. Dumping them in an empty jar makes for a gruesome desk display.
Then, the body bag. We used a long body pillow and a regular pillow to shadow the torso and legs. Got a neck pillow to shape for the head. Old running shoes we placed inside a paper bag and shaped to face forward.
We stuffed them inside giant black body bags and wrapped electric tape around the right pieces to shape them right.
For final touches we wrapped another set of black bags and used twine for a more realistic view. The kind that you see in CSI!
Here I am, hard at work:
The third one was the floating ghost. I made him out of a round styro ball, an old hanger, wire, black scrap paper and old white fabrics.
He looks pretty scary, no?
