It's tough to get a head in this world, but no longer! You can make fairly realistic severed heads that are sure to please! Get out the phonebook and find a local outlet that sells wigs in your area. Call them up and tell them that Evil Jay says that styrofoam wig forms are really great for making realistic severed heads. After they hang up on you and call the police, find another wig shop and just ask them if they sell styrofoam heads. Get yourself some tempera paints at a craft store, along with some synthetic hair or even fuzzy fabric, maybe a few plastic eyeballs or teeth, and your set. Gouge out eyesockets, paint gaping wounds, and glue the hair on with a hot glue gun. Great for impailings, car accidents, & picnics.

Nothing furnishes a graveyard like a few crosses. A couple of scrap pieces of wood and a few nails are all you really need. Cut the bottom into a point with your saw so they can be easily pounded into the ground.

Here's a small example of installing LED lights into a small prop, in this case one of those raven props you can find in craft or specialty stores around Halloween time. The first picture shows the basic layout of how you solder together your connections. Everything can be purchased at Radio Shack. You need a 9 volt battery connector, a nine volt battery, standard wire, two small 360 ohm resistors, a soldering iron, and two red LED lights. More wire can be added for longer lengths. Carefully solder the pieces together according to the diagram. Then take a box cutter or sharp knife and cut a long slice down the raven's back. Remove the eye pieces and drill holes in the head to allow the LEDs to poke through. Carefully insert the finished lights into your dissected bird, pop the LEDs through the eye holes, attach the battery, and hide it within the interior of the raven. The slit that you cut in the back of the black bird will not be noticable at all in the dark.
