Going to have the Swamp Foetus photo gallery up by the weekend.
Here's a shot of the Witch. I had to make her as a prop that could be posed on a stake for photos, but also carried and operated as a puppet for the film. Bean was exceptional at operating her movements for any shots when you see the Witch's face. I've been asked a lot if it was a mask. Happy to say 'nope, it's a puppet.' My wife's a convincing puppeteer. 
I have to admit that I look at this photo and see a person in a costume.

wow. I thought it was bean the whole time. fantastic work, rot, truly fantastic.
COOL...
Only the far shots were Bean.
And any time you saw the hands moving AND the face, she was sitting or standing behind the witch...not easy to do. We had a lot of laughs during the whole process.

Sounds like this project was a lot of fun.
You guys did an amazing job =) It was really a treat to watch on Halloween morning =)
Thanks for sharing it!
Cool, yeah I thought she was wearing it the whole time too, though I wasn't sure what position she needed to be in since the head/neck clearly wasn't large enough to be a mask. Nicely done!
I thought it was just a really creepy costume! You two sure had me fooled. Rest assured, Rot and Bean, your film as inspired a WHOLE new section for my haunt next year! Can't wait!
It was a puppet?? Wow,I am really surprised! It is such a cool video, Really enjoyed it a lot.
Yup.
A rod extends down to control her head movement and another so you can hold her up.
Well Done Bean! I was wondering how Ya'll pulled it off.The head movements told my brain its a puppet, but the hand movements definitely were so human-like which creeped me out. Kinda like the Muppets' Swedish chef......He freaks me out! Thank you guys for pushing the boundaries of yard haunting to new levels for all of us out here in the inter-hood. It so cool you two share your passion for Halloween with everyone thru photo-shoots, on-line store, and now film projects. I'm sure many of us are now brainstorming on how to bring our props to life in films for the 2012 season. Very inspiring!
Wow!
VERY impressive! Certainly had me fooled.
So excited to see the pics!
Ohhh... I thought she was wearing a costume with a puppet head. Now I get it. Sounds like you guys had fun. Great job! I'd love to see the photos.
Wow! I thought it was along the same lines as the corn witch you did. So cool....
You two amaze more and more each year!
Yep...had me fooled as well! Makes it all more impressive..as if it wasn't already. The witch must have been fun to take on location in the car with that hat!
you snookered this gal too... thought it was the Mrs. So double Brilliant.
I love this particular photo. Ha! I thought is was Mrs. Rot too. If you ever decide to sell copies, please let me know. I'd have this hanging in my home all year long.
Fooled me, too! It's awesome to hear some "behind the scenes" comments as to how you both made this film. Great job once again, to both of you.
That looks awesome!! I can definitely sense the essence of Halloween in this photo. Great work!!
Seriously - this shot is amazing- and the film made me freak out it was so good.
Thanks so much, Rachel.
