It's The Mummy

In 1989, I saw a gold King Tut Mask at K-Mart.  It was then I decided I was going to be a mummy.  My 1989 costume was thrown together at the last minute, and I didn't get the result I wanted.  This photo edit shows how I would have liked it.

 These are my light up eyes for my skull mask. I had always wanted to do
lights inside the mask, as part of my ongoing haunted house project. A simple diagram can be found here:

The Grave Jumper with shroud

I thought I would post this picture of the grave jumper skull with it's shroud since it was too fast to be seen in the Halloween video I posted last November.

Grave Jumper Progress 2 (green skull)

The skull that is to be attached is a plastic skull painted flourescent green.  The teeth are painted with glow-in- the-dark paint.



I glued in two yellow rubber balls with caulking.  I had to use a saw to cut open the back and I could barely fit my hand inside.

I then put a threaded nipple from a lamp kit inside, then added two washers for extra weight.  On the top I added ringed finnial so I could use something to hold onto while adjusting the tightness of the nut on the bottom.  On the bottom I put another washer and then a nut.  I'm going to have to get a thread reducer and a coupling nut for the cylinder rod when I get a new cylinder.
