I would like to add a screen accurate black cat head poking out the top eventually, but that won't be this year, unfortunately.

Phew, that was a busy weekend (putting on a two-day yard sale is *rough*), but I didn't forget! I got lucky with the current design; it was too big to prototype properly, so I had to figure it out in my head and it mostly worked out, and I've been tweaking it since.

Thanks! I did, back in 2022, though I had been thinking about it long before that. I had tried just filling the sack with lightweight stuff, but it's so big, like 5 feet in diameter, that I had trouble filling it, and it sagged like a pear on a stick, so I had to give him a skeleton.

Thank you! Enoch has continued to be a challenging build, cause he can be so top heavy even while trying to keep it light, so I keep making improvements to make him more stable. His head is a bucket, wooden dowels, and pool noodles in a basketball-like cloth sack I sewed.

An image of the interior of the head of my life size Enoch prop, which consists of twelve orange pool noodles arching between top & bottom rows of radial wooden dowels attached to plastic circles. The internal structure is supported by a central piece of PVC pipe. The bottom is attached to an upside-down bucket, which attaches to his base: a folded up clothes line.

A thousand times this! I adore Over The Garden Wall so much, I built a life size Enoch (Over 12 feet tall) and a Potsfieldian (and I plan on building another one so the first won't look quite so lonely). I think I have better pictures of Enoch, but I can't seem to find them at the moment.

An image of a life size Potsfieldian from Over The Garden Wall. A skeleton wearing pumpkins on their torso & head, with the head carved and painted with a smile, corn husks covering the arms and legs, wearing a woven grass sun hat and sitting on a small red stool.
An image of a life size Enoch Halloween prop. Standing at over 13 feet tall, Enoch is like a May Pole, but with a giant cloth jackolantern head on the top. Large black eyes, a chevron-shaped black nose hole, and a toothy grin adorn the large, jackolantern head. His body is thin and made up of ribbon streamers, four of which stretch out like great, long arms, while the rest dangle like spindly legs.

A parody image combining a scene from The Omen with a character from Gumby: Prickle, as Father Brennan, has been impaled by a spire head-to-foot that was blown off of a nearby church by a lightning strike, presumably sent by The Devil to stop Father Brennan from warning Robert Thorn about the true sinister nature of his son Damien.

A Blockhead character from the claymation known as Gumby stands in front of an open door looking to the left while holding a tommy gun. Text on the bottom of the image reads: "You just keep right on driving!" a reference to when Krusty the Clown did something similar on the Trampoline episode of The Simpsons.

"Jason Eventually Kinda Wanders Into The Vicinity of Manhattan" Hmm. Now I want a crossover where Jason's killing spree is repeatedly interrupted & foiled Wile E. Coyote style by The Muppets, who already took Manhattan.
