Here’s an overview of the front of the house. Note the silhouette in the window. The figures on the right are pretty simple, but effective props. The “body” is a fibreglass fencing rod, with a clothes hanger for the “body”, and burlap to form the shape. Some of them have “arms”, which are simply cut from black ground cover cloth. Very effective when there’s a bit of wind blowing, as the bodies sway and the arms flag.
Here’s a couple views of the porch and garden.
Here’s another view, showing the garage door creature. Also shows off the “arms” on the figures.
Here’s the “mad monk” prop, tweaked with a Master Chief helmet (from the game Halo), that I made from paper. Note that Eddie is doing a quality check of everything. He is so helpful.
Here’s a trio of paper heads I assembled this year. Such a charming crew!
