Alien Abduction Begins

Well, I finally made up my mind on what Halloween yard theme that I am going with this year. Since the baby is already scared of most masks, I didn’t want to freak her out with blood, guts and the scary things that I normally put out each year…so I think that the alien theme will be a little more kid friendly.

Following my handy dandy guide, I am going to size things down and make about 8 little green men in red cloaks. Last night, I found some dollar Frankenstein masks at Walmart that will work perfectly for their heads. I have already started working on the big buggy eyes and pushing the noses in to give them that green Martian look. The UFO will probably be the most tedious work but I have 2 umbrellas that will work perfectly with this.

Below is a rough sketch of what I had in mind. Along with some lights, fog machine, extra props and some spacey Halloween music…this may turn out to be pretty cool.

After a few days of trying to make up my mind, I spotted something on YouTube that helped me make a decision. Unfortunately I do not have 50 thousand dollars to buy the prop, but I can use the idea and inspiration. :)
