Head in jar

Hungry? Scare those fridge-bound famished food foragers with a head in a jar! Using a photo editor, two pictures are blended together to create flat image of a head, which is then laminated and submerged in a jar. When the flattened image in inserted into the curved jar, along with the distortion from the water, gives the illusion of a decapitated head in a jar of preserving fluid. Here's what you need to make your own: • • • • computer printer • Making your own head in a jar is easy, but requires some photo editing skills. I've included a tutorial on how I made mine, and took me about 30 minutes to compose. Personalizing this prank will make it more effective. But, if you're not a pro with photo editing, you can download my flattened head image below. To make the head printout you'll need 2 pictures of a head, a profile and a portrait. With the camera at eye-level, take a picture straight on and one from the side. Ensure your subject is well lit. Also, ask them to make a face. Next we'll import these images into a photo editing suite. Since the final output will be on a standard A4 / 8.5" x 11" printer paper, start by opening your photo editing software and opening a new document set to your printer paper size. Then, import the profile and portrait pictures of your subject onto new layers and resize them to fit your workspace. We'll resize them again after merging the faces together. Using your photo editor trim away any background so that you are left with just the face....

It’s yellow, peaceful-looking, and somewhat akin to a potato. The various physicians and anatomy technicians in the preceding hallway all address it with a mix of familiarity and indifference. It’s just there, really. Just the head of Diogo Alves, whose claims to fame include being both Portugal’s first serial killer and the last man to be hanged. At least one half of each claim is true. Diogo Alves was born in Galicia in 1810 and traveled to Lisbon early in his life, to serve in the houses of the well-to-do of the Portuguese capital. This southwards migration was common to plenty of Galicians looking for work, but Alves soon realized a life of crime would be more profitable. (History often blames an opportunistic barmaid for this shift in morality, because what’s a story without a temptress?) From 1836 to 1839, he transferred his workplace to the Aqueduto das Águas Livres (Aqueduct of the Free Waters). Nearly one kilometer (0.62 miles) long, the Aqueduto spanned the Alcântara valley, allowing both water and suburbanites to make their way into the city, 213 feet above the rural landscape. The Aqueduto das Águas Livres, Lisbon, where Alves committed his crimes. Many of these commuters were humble farmers traveling to the city to sell their produce, a fact Alves was privy to. He would await them on their return by nightfall, divest them of their gains by whatever means possible, and unceremoniously push them to their deaths. He repeated this sequence 70 times in the three ye...

When my kid wanted a headless costume, I wasn’t sure what to say or even how to make it. We are huge fans of Halloween around here! For years, I have handmade costumes for my kids, turning them into whatever they wanted to be by using my thrifting and sewing superpowers. This year was no exception to the tradition. Sometime in early October, my 10 year old son came to me and said he wanted to be something different for Halloween. He was tired of the super heros and didn’t want to be too gorey,so we started searching for illusion costumes. After doing a bit of research, we came across the idea for a headless costume.It was risky and complicated, but we took the project on anyway. Y’all! The headless halloween costume was a complete and total success! This headless man costume stopped traffic! Everywhere we went people were amazed. One guy handing out candy on his front porch was rendered speechless when the head in the jar said, “Trick or Treat!” I made a video so you could get the FULL effect of how cool this headless costume is in person! It’s really impressive and we had TONS of people asking us how we did it! Seriously, such fun! You could work this headless costume into so many cool things. With or without the jar, it’s really fun. You could even make the Headless Horseman costume using this method! We should have entered him into a costume contest or something, but he was more eager to nab that candy door to door! Needless to say, this headless halloween costume was a...

Find a suitable jar. It should be about head sized—about 5 gallons (or 5 liters). Jars that size are often used for storage containers or water-cooler bottles. You can find them new in most retail stores that have kitchen supplies, or try Goodwill or Salvation Army. • Aside from not being leaky, quality is not important: the cheaper it looks, the better! The imperfections in the glass or plastic will distort features and be extra creepy looking. Find a head. You could try grave robbing, for that perfectly rotten look. However, that's generally frowned upon in civilized society, and it smells pretty bad, too. • Look for a picture of a corpse head. Do a search on Google for "face texture" or "zombie texture" and take your pick. If you start with a regular face texture, you can use a photo editor such as Photoshop to make it truly horrific. Give the skin and lips a bluish tint, add gashes and rot, and other signs of decay. Be creative! Or, scan your own face. First determine the direction your scanner scans. Most go from right to left. If so, place your right ear on the scanner bed, and start the scan. As the scan light moves across the bed, rotate your head so that it stays illuminated. • Here's a tip: if you scan at a higher resolution, the scan will be much slower, making it easier to track the scanner as it moves. Print it out. Once you've got your face texture ready, edited, and prepped for pickling, scale the face to a realistic size and then print it out. • Measure you...
