HALLOWEEN HALL
CORNPEOPLE
These are the corn people, They are easy to make and if you look for end of season sales,
are cheap too! They take the weather well and you can have a whole herd of them if you
want. These originally came with pumpkin faces on top so I took those off and cast out of
plaster a skull in two halves you could also use a bucky skull. I put two LED lights in the
eye sockets that run off of a 9 volt battery, this lasts all the days I'm open. The wires run
down the back of the pole so you can hide the battery in the top of the shirt. I painted the
skulls with a yellow exterior paint and used a marker to make the black bone lines. Now
spray a clear finish over all of that. To attach it to the pole I cut a channel into the two
halves of the skull and then glued them over the pole with construction adhesive. To
secure them in the ground I pound in a 2 foot long 2 x 2 and screw the bottom of the pole
to that. This way you can put them where ever you want and face them different ways.
The arms on mine have wire in them so you can pose the arms up and down.
In between nights I cover them with a plastic garbage bag and at the end of the show I put
them into a big leaf plastic bag and store them up-right out side in the "OK
coral".
