Step 10 Install Scary Head

I used a light weight pumpkin head. I drilled a hole in the bottom just big enough to slip the 3/4" PVC cap through. Then put a glob of glue on the cap and put the pumpkin on it. Simple as that. Now the lighter the head the faster it will pop up. I added hair for a more scary effect. This slowed down the ascent as the hair weighed more than the pumpkin head. But it is still fast enough to scare the little kids and get them to drop their candy. I think I could collect what they drop and keep it for next year. Saves money.
