    We really do Halloween up big. We made the armatures from PVC pipe and dressed them in adult costumes (except the clown has on my DH clothes). Each monster has shoes I bought at Goodwill and styrofoam heads from a beauty supply store. The hands are rubber that I was able to find in pairs at KMart. We made the half coffin for the jailbird. Also made the cauldron from a large flower pot and painted it black. The flames I cut out of plywood, painted them, then added glitter. We carved all the artificial pumpkins. Hope you enjoy!
