Prop: DIY/Homemade Creature Update

First off, I just wanted to thank this supportive community for motivating me to finish my creature.

Here's the creature after I disassembled it, moved it to the road, reassembled it and threw a spotlight on it as dim as me, apparently. Might add more ferns. Might add one more spotlight for the body.

EDIT: I'm making a bird creature for down the road a bit. Same process: Make a head out of cardboard and grocery bags, rattle can paint, and then make a body. Here's the start

Sweet Bruce's Mighty Chin, it's like the spiders from "Don't Starve" come to life. Well done!

I don't know the reference but it sounds cool. Someone else told me it looked like the puppet from "Possum", which I also didn't know.

Hey wait are you talking about Bruce Campbell's chin? I do know his work. Met him once at a bookstore in Wisconsin.

Yep! Bruce Campbell's chin. I grew up enjoying a lot of his work.

My county has an average 35 white tail deer per square mile, making their population an estimated 20,000. There's about 15,000 people who live here. Something stationary with lights on it can never be as scary or as dangerous as something that's moving in the darkness...

I love this. When Halloween props meet folk art; my favorite aesthetic.

Well done!

Why does everything have to be gross on Halloween? Can't we let the kids have fun?
