I had one of these when I was a kid - it was awesome. None of the components was anything special - you could do this on your own without the kit. Basically you peel and carve an apple, soak it in salt water, and then dry it out using a lightbulb as a heat source. This causes the carved face to pucker and have a brown leathery looking appearance. you use beads for eyeballs and teeth, add some hair and you're done.

A craft for the whole family! Just what I always wanted, something my son and I can make together that will give him nightmares.

Nethie, I don't think this would give a 32 year old boy bad dreams.

Pssh. I want to shrink someone's head, I just slip them a spoonful of alum...because it at least FEELS like it.

Be careful .. Nethie and Patty can makes things grow large but can also make things shrink and almost disappear if they so desire it.

There is a much easier way to do this....Step 1- Carefully rip skin from skull; Step 2- Sew back into original shape and Boil skin; Step 3- Dry skin by filling with saw dust; Step 4- Prop-up as desired. (I saw it on TV, they say the hardest part is coming up with a cadaver) 
<<<---I wanted to come off as creepy, half scary in a funny sort of way; did the smileys achieve that?
