It was Halloween last week. My kids were extremely excited to get their costumes ready and to dress up as monsters. One cool idea I had was to make a fake corpse out of a garbage bag. They were so taken aback by the idea and couldn’t wait to start.
To make the fake corpse out of a garbage bag, we got some old bags together. We then filled them with straw and some old clothes we weren’t using so that the body would look lifelike. We then shaped the bags and clothes to look like a person lying down on the ground.
It was so incredibly lifelike! My kids almost screamed when they saw it. We painted it white to give it that extra spookiness and draped a few extra clothes to make it look even deader.
The kids were both laughing and scared at the same time. They kept screaming that it looked so real and couldn’t believe that I had come up with such an amazing idea! It turned out to be a great Halloween decoration.
We placed the garbage bag fake corpse Halloween decoration in our front lawn and it instantly became the talk of the town— Everyone was scared and amazed by it.
I was totally surprised by the outcome. We had the whole neighborhood coming over and taking pictures of it. Even the birds and the spiders were checking it out!
Our fake corpse impressed the kids and adults alike. It was one of the biggest attractions of the Halloween. Even when the Halloween was over, our fake corpse was up there in the front lawn making people talk.
But the best part was when my kids showed it off at school and even the teachers got a bit of a fright. I felt a sense of pride seeing my kids get so much attention. They totally loved it.
To make our garbage bag fake corpse even more frightening, we put two red LED lights in its eyes which made it look like an evil spirit. My kids kept yelling at it, but nothing could make it react. It was quite a sight.
The best part was that we didn’t have to spend anything extra to create this terrifying monster out of the garbage bag. We just had to use our imagination and some old clothes around the house.
It turned out to be a great success and now people pay extra attention to our decoration on Halloween. It is a tradition now. Everyone looks forward to it and I feel like I have given them a bit of a scare.
