About this Halloween Animatronic Prop:
The sitting scarecrow animatronic from Spirit Halloween looks suspiciously like he's sleeping. A bowl of candy resides in his lap. When an unsuspecting trick-or-treater reaches in to choose a piece, a motion detector triggers the scarecrow's head to snap up and he cackles a maniacal laugh. Is it scary? Sure… But for this Halloween, we wanted to transform him into the scarecrow from your nightmares. A scarecrow inspired by the DC Comics Scarecrow from Batman.
After the unboxing, we started by weathering his clothes and giving him new pants. When we cut off his burlap mask, we discovered a screaming plastic head underneath. Was this a long discarded head repurposed by Spirit as a simple base, or does this scarecrow actually hold a more sinister secret? Either way, the head made a perfect form for a new burlap scarecrow mask, now with glowing red eyes and a stitched up joker-like smile. A new burlap hat completed his look.
We love making our own Halloween props and decorations from scratch, but giving existing props a makeover is also a lot of fun. Spirit Halloween animatronics can provide a great starting point, and with a little bit of DIY love you can transform them into something spectacular for your haunted house or Halloween yard display.
