I have been asked if the picture is me and my husband - or our children - or my inlaws...
No!
Halloween is all about illusion.
The keys to these iillusions are that Halloween is celebrated in the dark combined with having enough black cloth/clothes.
To the disappointment of my neighborhood children - should they ever find this page - my "husband" is a garden rake, a cloths hanger with a cape and a black blanket, a black ski mask on top of the rake handle underneath the Kiss mask in front. More or less.
"I" - the wicket Witch of the East - does have some real prop parts: Two plastic hands, a hat, and a mask.
Everything else is out of my closet: A shawl, my boots, a ski outfit inside out - lining is black and by turning it inside out, the filling gives body. I probably used a pillow or two from the sofa. I may have used a board to give a little spine to put the mask on.
The point here is that since the props don't need to move, it doesn't matter if the back is correct or if there is good structure.
The second point is that you don't need to invest in a lot of props to decorate. Before I inherited these masks from some remigrating Danes, I used a floor sweeper as a beard and garden gloves as hands for making a prop.
This year it took all of 15 minutes to build a witch.
