So, in case you didn’t already know… I’m pretty sick and twisted when it comes to Halloween. From Haunted House Costumes and this awesome bouquet toss winner costume to Pinterest Gone Awesome with a Baby Eating Pumpkin, a bathroom spider den, a murder scene, and these horrifyingly creepy dolls, I’ve got some really messed up thoughts on the creepy. Last week, while perusing Pinterest for some ideas to decorate for the Halloween festivities at our house, I came across this pin:
First, I thought to myself, That is the coolest fucking thing I have ever seen. Then I realized, $33? Fuck that. I can make that bad ass piece of Halloween paraphernalia way cheaper.
As you will soon see, I’m an evil genius.

The materials I started with: 2 long poles (I used a broomstick and a mop), a ball, a fitted bed sheet, a hanger, fake spider web, and plastic bugs.
I needed some tape, too. Luckily Brian had duct tape in his car…

Yes. In his car. Creepy?

Tape the hanger to the ball. The hanger is your “shoulders.”

Tape the poles to the hanger.

Tape the poles together in the center.

Cool, right?
It was at this point that I realized I needed a few additional supplies — 3 more hangers.

Use one hanger for the hips.

Reinforce the head.

Add the Shoulders (2 additional hangers).

Wrap the body like a mummy.
Brian made a suggestion that we add a pillow to the body. Since we have a plethora of pillows…this seemed like a brilliant plan. So, I ran and got one.

Tape the pillow to the poles

Re-wrap the cocoon.

Wrap the cocoon in spider webbing.

We used these bungee cables.
I realized we needed something to hang the mummy, and Brian had these in his car, too…hmmmm…

Hang the mummy.

Put on the finishing Touches-the death bugs…not unlike Death Bug.
Brian is terrified of this. He thinks I am completely sick and twisted. He is right.
What creepy-ass shit do you do for Halloween?
