Please meet Occulus - alien.
Occulus is part plant, part animal. Breeds by budding for which he needs an adequate supply of fertiliser. He gets this by dissolving his favourite food down to a liquid then plants his legroots in the liquid and absorbs the goodness. His favourite food? Humans of course.
Occulus is a Spitter prop. The head is made from some foam skull leftovers from a Doc Janus prop for next year (Doc Janus has 2 faces - his first name is Hugh by the way).
Crests on the skull and the mouthparts are airdry clay reinforced with wire. The eye is a cheapy glow in the dark one with a green LED at the back. The spitter system is a flexible reticulation pipe with a small nozzle on the end going down through the 20mm PVC tube frame and exiting out of his back to a car windscreen washer reservoir and pump.
Body is expanding foam over the frame.
Electronics is a Nerve Center controller that on PIR activation, plays an Audacity enhanced home recorded track (Ahhh, Humans, my favourite food. Please wait while I dissolve you, slurp, slurp, slurp sounds) with the washer pump activating for the last few seconds to provide a jet of water.
Be finishing him off at the haunt this morning with some red highlights and some green hot glue dripping off his mouthparts.
