Building Ghouls and Demons for Halloween

When my kids decided they were to old for trick or treat we decided to have a Halloween party of course that meant decorating the yard. Over the next 15years or so the decorations have grown into a yearly Haunted House with somewhere around 14-1600sq feet of enclosed scream enducing fun. To see last years Haunt please see my "ible" here

We've already started building the Haunts structure for the 2010 Haunt and adding a few new creatures. Sorry for any lack of before type pics but I think you'll get the idea as with many "ibles"  this is just the way I repurposed one thing to make something totally different

Step 1: Debbie Demon

For this sweet little demon we start out with a life size doll I found at a yard sale for $2us, cover the eyes with tape and then using white, black,blue and green spray paint give the doll a zombie looking skin tone. Paint in some arched eyebrows, bright red lips, dark eye circles and dress her in a hodge podge of childrens costumes

The hanging bits would be their own Halloween decoration - they are delightfully horrible like something out of an older horror film.

Thank you for the comment, your right, hanging bits do add to the gruesome factor of a HAUNT, we have a couple of bins full of body parts and bones that hang in the meat market section or scattered throughout the HAUNT. Check out my other "ibles" on how to haunt a yard with help from instructables
