Hello there my faithful Fallen. Today we launch the Pinterest Project we discussed last week. This project also falls under the Fun for Under $5 projects that began with some googly eyes. I will be adding some tags and category headings a little later on and hopefully this will be a regular thing. The spirit of DIY is not to have to shell out a bunch of cash to realize an idea. I hope to help with that.
So, here was the project, copied directly from Pinterest, description and all:
Good evening my faithful minions. I trust you are all well? Good! I am mostly recovered from whatever plague I caught earlier in the week and am ready to get back to the labs and make some more mirth for everyone. I just wanted to take a moment and let you all know what’s been going on at Castle Scarydad and what you can expect in the days to come.
Hello minions! As I was lying around the house recovering from the zombie virus I got a little bored and decided to create some friends. You don’t need corpses and lightning to create life in inanimate objects. All you need is a few pair of googly eyes.
Hello Minions. Your master is unwell; sick with some sort of plague. I’ve raided my labs and consumed every elixir to no avail. I must rest. In my absence, please enjoy the following moving pictures. Good night.
Today’s project is the little Jack O’ Lantern-in-the-box from The Nightmare Before Christmas. This guy shows up about 3/4 of the way through the film when Halloweentown’s Christmas gifts come alive and start terrorizing the children. Above is a screenshot from the film and below is my finished guy:

It’s that time again! Submit your Halloween costume and party pics to Scarydad@scarydad.com to be featured in one of our galleries. Happy Haunting!!!
Good evening. Tonight’s feature is a good scary movie that should keep your feet under the covers all night long. Let me tell you about The Woman in Black.
Good evening.
We are cooking up a few special things here at the labs. I spent the weekend scouring graveyards and hardware stores for the necessary supplies for my next creation. In the meantime, please enjoy these videos and remember that the thing under the bed is probably not as scared of you as you are of it.
Summer is nearing its blessed end but you still have time for a couple more.
Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book is the story of Bod Owens, the little boy who lives in the cemetery. Bod is looked after by various ghosts and spirits who haunt the graveyard and protect him from the Jack, the man who killed his parents.
Although The Graveyard Book is intended for children, Gaiman’s storytelling deserves to be enjoyed by all. He is the Scarydad’s favorite author and so I am almost forced to command you to read all of his books. But definitely read this one. I can’t guarantee you’ll like it, but I’m pretty darn sure.
