HALLOWEEN 2014 – IT’S ALIENS, NOT EBOLA!


…And no, that isn’t me wearing the CDC-esque get up either, although a quite a few trick-or-treaters suspected that was the case.

 
Getting personal with an alien…
(Jewelry display dummy head in respirator, goggles and paper suit.  Paper mache alien.)
 

  Sausage casing (a.k.a. pig intestine) + instant oatmeal =
a. The closest I’ve ever come to retching while working on Halloween props
b. An experience that only needs to be had once in a lifetime
c. Truly disgusting
d. All of the above
In case you couldn’t figure it out the answer is a resounding ‘d’

Always better after dark!
 (Black light and glow-in-the-dark paint)

The obligatory out-of-focus UFO picture.
(UFO constructed of pool noodles, space blankets and a couple pounds of duct tape)

 
Warp drives still have power, but the frame isn’t looking so good after that crash landing.
(Battery operated lights inside an old clock case)

Safe in cryo-sleep.
(Paper mache alien II)
 
Greetings earthling!
 
 
Looks like the FBI are on the case… Unofficially at least.
 
Area 51 – Alien pumpkins spotted
 
Ahoy Matey!
(Sweatshirt and sweatpants with felt add-ons and puffy paint.  Paper sun hat rolled, glued and decorated.)

(Lace 'jabot' sewn to white T-shirt)

Polly want a cracker?
(Back of cap'ns coat)

Little Mermaid
