Screaming Skeleton Gets Ready To Scare

Get ready, get set . . .

This skeleton looks harmless, but not so. It lies in wait to spring when trick-or-treaters are least expecting it.

Screaming Skeleton Gets a Rise.

While trick-or-treaters are watching the zombie to its left, a spotlight flashes on and this skeleton pops up with a blood-curdling scream.  Its screams are often matched by the screams from startled and unsuspecting onlookers. 

I'll Be Your Best Friend. Right!

Hey you! You in the costume, let me out of here!

This talking zombie is getting ready to give his spiel to convince trick-or-treaters to help him escape. Beware. He is as evil as he looks.

Halloween at Jefferyland - Pleading Zombie

This is one of my favorite Halloween animations. It is a Zombie that is pleading to be released from its coffin. It is played on a computer screen, and as it pleads trick-or-treaters to let it out promising them that if they do he will be their best friend, the coffin lid bangs up and down.

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!
