Puppet design/costume help.
Hey y'all!
I have a puppet Halloween costume I'm working on for this years project, and I'm having trouble deciding on what I should turn the skeleton into.
I've taken inspiration on making a puppet like the Attack line Puppets from VFX Creates store, I have a life like skeleton that I've used as a base and modified into a puppet. I will be attached to the puppet at all times and plan on using it for a quick scare for trick or treater's for Halloween night the puppet will also have a speaker with custom sounds. The puppet is just about finished but I have SO many options on which way I can go in decorating/turning this skeleton into something that isn't a bare skeleton.
I would like to tie it into something with my Halloween decor that I already have and to try and match the 'theming'
I have a 12ft Inferno Pumpkin skeleton, a inflatable spider, a corpse burnt at the stake, an animatronic Freddy Krueger, animatronic Jason Voorhee's and a animatronic grim reaper with tombstone. Fog machines, a skeleton 'throwing up' bio-hazard waste, a 9ft ground breaking skeleton, a pumpkin archway, tombstones, a bunch of Halloween lights, and a LOT of beef netting cobwebs with spiders.
I was thinking of doing a skeleton that was being taken over by roots and moss, like its coming alive from the ground, and then I could dress up as a grave robber, HOWEVER there is a house nearby who does a tombstone/cemetery display and they dress up as grave robbers while handing out candy.
My Ideas are:
Devil (Puppet) - Priest (Self), but doesn't tie with the theming.
Root taking over creature from the ground (Puppet) - Grave Robber (Self) Copying a house decor idea nearby. (no one likes a copy cat)
Exorcist design, that would tie into the serial killer vibe.
Freddy from Trick r' treat but then I wouldn't be able to use the movable jaw at all.
Bio-hazard design, would work with the acid puking skeleton.
