I saw on Dreadnight's website about a wolf that he did. So my wife how loves wolves wanted to do her version of it. It doesn't look very scary during the day but at night sticking out of the bushes with a strobe light on it, it does look creepy.
First thing I did was go on my local free cycle website and ask if anyone had an animated reindeer that you use for X-Mas, sure enough I was able to get one for FREE.
Then in keeping with the Halloween tradition, I had to decapitate it.
Then I purchased the wolf head, fangs and eyes from a taxidermy site. Here is the link:

Then headed out looking for fur. Wife wanted it grayish, I wanted black, her project she wins. So I picked up the fur from Wal-Mart.
Hit Michaels for the spray adhesive and so other stuff and she was ready to rock and roll.
After decapitating the reindeer, we drilled 3 holes into the wolf mount and attached it to the reindeer with zip ties, this allowed for the head to move back and forth.

After painting the head and adding the fangs, wifey and her friend stuffed newspaper into the reindeer body and wrapped it in some plastic sheeting that I had lying around.

Then using paper mache techniques they made the body for the fur to adhere to. That was a nice messy project and of course I was the one who had to clean up after them.
So the nest weekend, they started with the fur, cutting out pieces and using the spray adhesive and a needle and tread to attach the fur.

We still have to do something with the paws and of course my razor died on the legs.
But as I said in the dark with the strobe flashing off the eyes, it does look scary and as we know SCARY IS GOOD.

Just have to finish adding the fur to the face and do a little more shearing and find a wolf snarling music file and stick a cheap MP3 player and speakers in wolfy and we are in business.
Here is a little video I shot of it at night
