How to Make a Frankenstein Head

It is never too early to start planing for Halloween, especially if you are planning a big party. What better way to impress your guests but with your own handmade head of Frankenstein center piece. This is a quick and simple way to make your own Halloween decoration. My husband and I enjoyed this project and so did our niece and nephew, it was like a science experiment for them. I first thought of it when my husband was about to through out an old latex mask he had bought along time ago. Well I noticed the mask looked similar to Frankenstein face and thought I could put it to good use making a Halloween decoration with it. Note this is a project for outside. Here are a few easy steps on how to make your own.

First you will want to get your work area prepared so the process goes smoothly. Hang the mask upside down where it will be nice and secure and ready for when you pour the plaster in. Make sure you have an old bucket and a stirring stick for mixing. Now you are ready to began. Mix about 8Ib's of plaster (take into consideration the mold you are using), powder paint and water altogether. Remember to work fast because the plaster dry's quickly. Once everything is mixed well began pouring the colored plaster into the latex mold. It will take a minimum of a half hour to dry, this of course will depend on the temperature outside.

When your mold is completely dry you can then remove the latex mask, you will need to wet and sand the edge of the neck to remove ruff edges. Lastly you can either leave it as is for a more simple look and then just spry the glaze on right away or you can use some black and green paint to fill in the facial details. To help with the details just find a picture online of Frankenstein for reference. I found this to be very helpful. After the paint is dry you can then spry your head with a clearcote of Hi-Shine glaze, giving it a more glossy look then allow some time to dry.

This revision of a widely adopted critical edition presents the 1831 text of Mary Shelley’s English Romantic novel along with critical essays that introduce students to Frankenstein from contemporary psychoanalytic, Marxist, feminist, gender, and cultural studies perspectives. An additional essay demonstrates how various critical perspectives can be combined. In the second edition, 3 of the 6 essays are new. The text and essays are complemented by contextual documents, introductions (with bibliographies), and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms.
