My very own 'Pumpkin Rot' ~Pics Nov.1

Looks stupendous! Makes me wanna make a trip to BC just to see it. Just need to find the money and time for the plane ride...

It's horrific!!!! I LOVE IT

Once you are done and have it all set up in the yard what kind of lighting are you going to have for it? Because one thing i have learned over the years is that having the right effect from the lights can make or break a props effectiveness.

Well the plan is to have his head lit up like a real kin. Then I may do some sort of red glow coming from his torso. Then a red flood light shining upwards from the base (which I have yet to build! EEK!)

Is it too late to place my order --- I would like a few but since Halloween is less than a week away I'll settle for 1

Awesome job so far!!!

Sounds really good. If you run out of time just buy a base from Lowes or a local hardware store, can't wait to see the finished product and the pics.

Okay what?? You can buy bases? Well phooey! I will have to grab one for next year. My Dad jimmied one together for me. It's not the prettiest thing but we were on a time crunch. I just hid it behind a some other decorations and covered parts that were showing with some spooky cloth.

Here is the end result! I plan to do a little more on it throughout the year, there are few things I wand to add/change.











Here he is at night...I ran out of lights so his head didn't glow as much as I wanted. Next year I suppose!

[nosferatu]

Brilliant. I would buy him if he was in the shops.

Fab pictures and looks brilliant at night.

[Zombie Pumpkins!]

Yes yes yes! Oh, he is utterly creepy! The photography helps too, with the dramatic angles and all. Isn't it nice to have the skills to make new friends? I mean literally... make friends. I hope you and your new pumpkin pal have many fun years together, as you continue to add to him and your collection of creeps.

That is just sick. I love it.

[MIKECOZ8]

Wow -- that is fantastic --- pat yourself on the back ~ you should be very proud

[monstermash]

Stupendous. Utterly stupendous.

[wookie66]

Wow very cool, all your hard work payed off and it looks fantastic. You can also use a tree stand as a base and put some creepy cloth around it. Once again great job, and what do you have planned next year to go along with the Pumpkin Rot?

[CorpseBride]

Thanks guys!! It was a blast to make...I can't wait to do more!

Funny you should mention that Wookie. I purchased a cheap skeleton today (the pop together the pieces kind) for 4.00 on clearance. It is 3/4 life size. The plan is to use him as a base and paper mache over him to create something very spooky. I am thinking half rotted out...pieces of hair...tattered clothes....rotting flesh...sugar and spice and everything nice...

something like this...but creepier

Bravo CB! Looks amazing!
