Wow! Very nice Dr Morbius.

[ScareFX]

It is awesome Dr Morbius!

[NecroBones]

I like what you did with the skin-pulling. :)

[Sinister]

As always Doc, a freakin' masterpiece!

[heresjohnny]

Excellent work Doc, simply Excellent!:eek:

[HibLaGrande]

OOOOooooo, AAAHHHHhhhh~

If that was the scarecrow in the wizard of oz, I would watch that movie. :D

[Wildomar]

That really morphed into a great prop... and as stated above, the skin pulling looks really good. This contest is off to a great start!

[DeathTouch]

That is going be tough to beat. You did really nice on the color and I like what you did to the face.

[Dreadnight]

Dr. Morb... That thing is GREAT. Glad I'm not going up against you in this one!

[Zombie-F]

I just realized the Doctor forgot to show his tape measure photo showing it's at least six feet tall. You don't have to show how tall it is in total, just show that it's at least six feet tall. :)

[NecroBones]

Actually he has a link to a video of it... pretty hard to make out though. Kinda hard to do in one photo, although I think I've succeeded for mine.

[DeathTouch]

Just whip out your pocket tape measure there DR. and show the haunt peoples how big it is. LOL.

[ScareFX]

LOL :D

[Lilly]

most excellent there doc.. nice touch

[Dr Morbius]

I did try to take a pic of the prop with tape, but no way can you see the numbers with my camera. I did take a video, you can see the 7 foot mark on it.

[Dr Morbius]

Since I can't get a full picture of the tape and prop together, am I disqualified?

[NecroBones]

Since I can't get a full picture of the tape and prop together, am I disqualified?

Gosh, I hope not. This is just as hard for all of us.

[Wyatt Furr]

Excellent entry, my dear Doctor.
I just love the expression on the scarecrows face.

[Fangs]

WWWWoooooooWWWWWW!!!!!! Sweet Crow Dr M!!!!!!!!!! Lovin it!!! :>

[darryl]

Come on Doc....How big is yours???
No serious, awesome prop my man. One more example of why I'm glad I don't need a scarecrow. You guys just get better and better at this. Truly shock and awe!! I mean who makes there own crows?????????

[Dr Morbius]

Thanks guys..I really appreciate your comments. I will try to take another pic to comply with the measurement requirement.

[Zombie-F]

All you have to show is that the tape measure is unspooled at least six feet. You do not have to show exactly how tall the entire prop is, just that its at least six feet. See krough's thread for what is acceptable.

[krough]

Right. Except you cannot borrow my son to measure the height of your prop Dr M.

[Eric Striffler]

That is so cool.
Awesome work!
The contest is looking good so far. :D

[Daughter of Darkness]

Very nice! Wow.:devil:

[Dr Morbius]

Ok, I added a pic of the height measurement on the submission post.

[NickG]

that crow pulling on his face is the icing on the cake...

[mrklaw]

Those eyes look so realistic. It's hard to believe that hey are roll-on balls.
Great job.

[Beepem]

wow. this here is basically why i didnt bother entering.......lol

[Dr Morbius]

Oh, Man, Beepem! I would rather have you take what we've done and USE or even COPY the ideas we had just so I can see what you come up with. You know, the simple props are usually the best. I learn from all of you guys..If you don't submit, I can't copy YOUR ideas! LOL!

[spokanejoe]

Fantastic!! Bravo!

[DeadSpider]

Great Work Doc! You've even captured emotion in that scarecrows face, nice touch with the crow pulling skin. Nice!

[ShadyHallows]

Very nice, my favorite entry so far!

Banned?

[Dr Morbius]

hehe..just a little joke..When you hit over 1000 posts you get to change your user title. I changed it back to "Monsterator" to avoid confusion and rumors. The giveaway should've been the fact I was online.:D

[NecroBones]

Yeah, that was particularly confusing... lol :)

[TearyThunder]

Dr M, I love the overall expression you have made with this prop. He's creepy, yet funny and everything in between.
