This is our 9' Frankenstein in his oversized chair. We put him on the front porch and I made cage sections from 1/2" PVC pipe and 1"x2" lumber. This made it easy for me to put him out early without him getting up and walking away.
This is a close up. Wish my photographer had left the black plastic up behind him. It was a nightmare for us to have him on the front porch because it effectively cut off access to the house. It was worth it for the looks from passing motorists and joggers.
This is Frankie without his cage. His shoes are plywood soles with chicken wire formed for the upper boot and up the leg. It is covered in muslin strips and Monster Mud then painted. His hands are just latex props I got for him. His head is a mask pulled over a chicken wire form with a section of 1/2" PVC inside that is attached to the back of his chair. From the porch deck to the top of his knee is 33" high. He was made in sections so that he could be moved more easily. On the right hand size of the torso, you can see the monster mudded framework. His costume is made from a wooly burlap material I got for $1.29 per yard and was 60" wide. The shirt is nothing more than a long rectangle that lays over the shoulders. The sleeves and pants are just tubes of fabric sewn the required length.
