Hey everybody! I’d like to introduce you to my own personal Halloween monster, Poor Old Herb. In the coming days and weeks I’ll put together a tutorial on how you too can build your very own Halloween Monster.

But for now I’ll leave you with a little history. Herb came to life sometime in the 1980s and came to visit every Halloween until 1997. We were planning my wedding that year and mom thought poor old Herb didn’t quite fit the pre-wedding décor. In hindsight I should have bought him a top hat and let him occupy the front door anyway.

He’s been resting in pieces since Halloween 1996. I think it might be time to resurrect Poor Old Herb. What do you think?

Stop back next week for the evolution of Poor Old Herb and his humble beginnings as a coat rack.
