Right now I’m figuring out how to make the back legs stand up more, so it appears to be walking more, and improving the fangs.  I have a light that goes into the back and makes it glow some, and am putting a floodlight on the front, so the face shows up, and the eyes glow a bit.

I’ll be adding the spiderwebs in today, and a ‘body’ wrapped up in spiderwebs.  The best parts though.  A) I’ll be in the spiderweb, ready to freak people out.  But also, that long front leg, I have fishing line on it, so I can make it reach out and grab kids as they go for the candy :)

It’s not a good Halloween unless you can make a kid soil their costume :)

The only really bad part is, my wife is refusing to walk in the front door now.
