HALLOWEEN 2004
October 23rd - Day 23
Skull Fountain
It just wouldn't be me if there wasn't a skull fountain with bloody water somewhere in the yard. So, back by popular demand. Just like in 2000 when we tried to leave it out of the display, the neighbors kept asking where it was.
Of course it had been two years since I worked with spray foam so I've got a couple of fingers that are going to look funny for a couple of weeks.
I pounded rebar in the ground and slipped three foots sections of corrugated drain pipe over them to form the legs. The bowl of the fountain is a garbage can lid just like in years past. I'm getting quite the collection of cans with no lids.
I did build the skull pile with the ability to remove it and put it in any setting. The old fountain was fixed in the lid.
Here's a shot of both of the things I have out right now. I put the contest rule holding ghoul out each morning as well now.
The video below shows it spewing blood out its eyes and allows you to hear it as well. Be warned, if you're using a dial-up connection, the video is going to take a while to load.
