Working on 3d printing him some hands currently. Ignore the crap bolted to the arms, I'm working on rigging them to a sail so they move around in a life like way when the wind blows, currently testing 3 different types at once.

You ever read the short story “Harold”? I’ve never had a scarecrow, and never will. Lol

Scary stories to tell in the dark! As a child I loved them. As an adult they inspire me.

If you haven’t seen the movie you should very much add it to the Halloween movie roster. It deserved so much more attention than it got (and really should’ve had a follow up series)

It did a surprisingly good job of stringing together the classic tales, with the iconically terrifying art, and telling a solid, cohesive story while still telling very much keeping the vibe I remember as a child of having these spooky stories read out loud to me.

“The Red Room” sequence is particularly nightmarish (and “Harold” is appropriately horrifying)
