Samhain

This guy wore a cloak of creepy cloth that has been used in my Haunt for the last decade.  I use the cloth to hide the fog tube and other things which prop up some of my jack o'lanterns.  Leaves love to stick to creepy cloth, so it's the perfect netting for hiding stuff you don't want anyone to see.  Early on, I knew I wanted Samhain to have a dirty leaf-covered cloak, so I used the oldest piece I could find.  Smelly and filthy, and loaded with bits of dirt, sticks, and leaves.  

The cloak of a thousand Halloweens.

Creepy

I love creepy cloth. I go through tons of the stuff. Witches' cloaks, scarecrow clothes, or tiny scraps dangling from a scarecrow's arm - haunt texture. It spray-paints up really well - light colors for scarecrows.... black for witches.

Just ordered a batch from the Oriental Trading Company, my regular supplier of the stuff.
