It works!



This photo doesn't do it justice but our new effect for Halloween this year worked out GREAT! Take one used LCD projector. Use a digital video camera to film your friend lip-syncing to a scary message. Carve a head out of foam and create a pedestal for it. Burn a DVD with your friend and the scary message. Next thing you know it’s just like being at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion!

"..carve a head out of foam." he says. How about, "Cut a bunch of foam and glue it together to make a brick. Wait three weeks, discover glue is still not cured. Pry foam apart, scrape off glue. Cut out basic silhouette on band saw. Reglue using aerosol wonder glue. Observe said glue eating foam. Cry. Begin carving anway. Notice looming possibility of catasrophic failure of solvent-induced bonding of foam while carving. Cry some more. Get better glue. Celebrate correct function of glue #3. Continue to fake it. Pray noone else notices.

...forgot my end-quote. I should be banished to the Hell of Microwaved-Pizza-in-Tinfoil for that.
Thank the gods for the chinese and their abundance of hells.

Details, details, details. We have a foam head don't we? White, round head shape out of foam...yep looks like it.

At least we didn't try to carve a oversized replica of Quins head?
