The Pumpkin King
“TK421, Why aren’t you at your post?”
“Because I’m in the garage building the Pumpkin King”
Oh what a different film that would have been. I’m pretty sure the Empire would have been pretty impressed with the Pumpkin King that TK421 built. Check out the full tutorial over on HalloweenForum.
The skeleton of this prop is composed of PVC. TK421 rolled up plastic bags and hot glued them to the PVC to create the vines. A milk jug was cut in half to act as the rib cage, and a heat gun was used over the entire frame to corpse the prop. After two coats of black paint, an incredible carved pumpkin head topped it all off.
