This Spirit Halloween Scarecrow Makeover will Haunt Your Dreams

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay take a Spirit Halloween sitting scarecrow animatronic and overhaul it into a DC Comics-inspired nightmare creature. After unboxing and weathering the existing costume, they remove the original burlap mask to reveal a hidden plastic head, which they use as a form for a new hand-stitched burlap mask featuring glowing red LED eyes and a sinister stitched smile. The build combines fabric work, painting, and basic electronics to dramatically elevate a store-bought prop into a custom haunted-house centerpiece.
