This costume looks deceptively simple - I'm all in black and have this huge pumpkin instead of the head. And eyes flicker red. Problem was in making the head, strong, light and balanced on my head. Final solution was made with an old hat (see Strawman in 2015), strapped with duck tape and ropes to the inner construction of this cardboard pumpkin. Sides rested on my shoulders, and there were a few extra black holes cut on the bottom, and covered with black mosquito nets so I can see where am I going. End result was pretty good. There were kids that were afraid to come close, while others loved me and didn't want to let me leave. The setup in the photo was made as a background scene fro the 'photo boot'. I was often coming to this place and if a family was taking a picture, I'd come right in between them, take a small pumpkin on my knee and calling it 'Uncle Jamie', and a small kid on the other knee so we can take a picture all together. Nobody complained.
