Halloween

I was asked to do a Halloween show for the Weston Library this year. With the help of staff and volunteers we put together a Reader's Halloween with stories, jokes and a costume contest.

With a donation of cardboard boxes from Home Depot I created a cardboard set.

After the show I put the set up in my driveway for Halloween.

The set had a built in Shadow Screen.

Shot in my driveway under a flash to show the details. On the right side of the set, the door opens and has two panels that also open. Next to that is a shadow screen. Then a hand puppet stage has a slight thrust and a playboard. The skull under the playboard opens too. The last panel on the left has 2 openings, the top and the rat panel.

The other side of the driveway had the usual group of inflatable and electric monsters.

Halloween Skeleton

I like to make at least one new Halloween Skeleton every year. Sometimes they are paper and sometimes they are not. This one is made from recycled stuff.
1 @ 1 gallon water bottle
2 @ 1 liter clear soda bottle
2 wire coat hangers with the cardboard tube hanger
1 can of white spray paint
2 paper plates
black sharpie marker
some plastic rope
some packing tape
some fishing line

The control, not shown is the paddle from one of those bouncy ball whappers
