Giving Stone Faces Animation



The heads had good looks, but no personality. They just sat around looking stone-faced. Hook up a projector to a computer, insert the DVD, push play and look at the transformation. Three men come to life as three Grim Grinning Ghosts!

Grim Grinning Heads Waiting To Sing

Grimm Grinning Ghost heads are perched on their monument waiting to perform for trick-or-treaters in Southern California where the weather is warm and beautiful.

Will I do this again? When Heck Freezes Over!

Heck frozen over? Oh, no!
Sculpting and molding the three heads for this project was like giving birth. The first time, you do not know what you are getting into. During the process, you swear you will never do that again. When it is over and you see the child you have created, the pain does not seem so bad.

Was the effort of creating the Grim Grinning Ghosts worth it? Yes! It was a project to have fun with once, learn from and enjoy the results. As far as becoming a sculptor and producing finished works of art, in the future, I will leave that job to others that are more qualified and enjoy making molds. I still have the my molds if I need to make more.

When compared to the Halloween props my son has created, this project was easy. After Halloween I will post some of his creations that make his yard a fun place to visit on the holiday, and many people do!
