This Jack-O-Lantern SUCKed

This is the Jack-O-Lantern I made for our October SUCK Films. We kept it on the stage during the show and then raffled it off at the end.

He was supposed to look sort of like a goblin, as the movie we showed was Hobgoblins.

It looks like I will be doing another (maybe better?) one for work soon.

That is Tom in the picture, I think.

If you look hard in the lower right side of this picture you can just see Tom, smiling at his handiwork.

John and Tom work to combine colored lighting with hidden fog machines to make a perfect spooky night.

Tom is adjusting the lights that aim up into the tree. Yes that's a tree full of Blair Witch style twig glyphs. No I don't think we over did it. Too bad that Halloween got rained out.

The Final Torso

The Final Torso

Add some paint, an old t-shirt, and a table with holes cut into it and you get yourself a disturbing bit of Halloween trickery. Otherwise known as the perfect place to put the candy bowl.

The Key to Fake Evisceration

The Key to Fake Evisceration

The key to faking an eviscerated torso is in the dangling internal organs. As you can see here, I’ve used a lot of latex in order to get various tubes and things embedded into the latex. When it tries you end up with arteries and intestines.

Adding Fake Skin

Adding Fake Skin

The next step is to coat the torso in a layer of fake skin. I prefer applying liquid latex to the mold myself, but the foam is like a sponge so to get it to work I first wrap the torso in plastic wrap. In latter years I learned to use latex dies to get a flesh tone latex color.
