This is pretty obvious. It's not even a real instructable because your leaving out how to get hom out of the chicken wire and how to make the paper mache.

I second that... and another proof for my theory that everybody who writes something in ALL CAPS is not worth enough a second to get read.

"To get your friend out just take apart the back of the chicken wire where it meets. Let him out and and put the back together again."

Does this not count?

This reminds me of a day I was in a Halloween store when I was twelve and there was this guy in a Michael Meyers costume, which I thought was a statue. When he put his hand on my shoulders he scared me shitless. I almsot pissed my pants too.

I don't suppose you could add a picture or two of making the chicken wire frame. otherwise, I think that this could be a great decoration if you light it with a strobe light.

You never said how to get out of the chicken wire. I don't know how I got the word "hom" in there. . .
