You've seen this page before, but I thought after the Bigfoot model, you guys might enjoy a zombie model. (Page three of the haunted house diorama, called "Skeleton". He's clearly a zombie.)
There's also this page, which has a variety of way cool toys on it, including some little games, and a lot of nice spooky coffin boxes, and... a zombie mask. Well, okay, everybody knows that tigers won't attack you if they think you can see them. (I suspect this is wrong, but whatever.) So as everybody also knows, if you wear a mask backwards on your head, any tigers in the vicinity will conclude that you are looking at them and will leave you alone. (Again, this seems doubtful.)
Originally I had stuck a Futurama rubber Brain Slug on my head, facing backwards, but it falls off a lot, so I dug out the Ronald Reagan Halloween mask. If Zombie Reagan can't deter the Hallucinated Zombies, we've got more problems than I care to think about. Unfortunately, it creeped out my partner something awful, so I instead printed out the Ravensblight mask and assembled that. Seems to be working fine. Farther down the page there is a set of tiny zombie standees, if you want your own army.
On the excellent news front, and likely not entirely unrelated to the zombie bigfoot infestation, the housemate has gotten financial aid and will be moving out to go to grad school in September. And no, none of you can move in now that I have a spare room, okay? But I'd be glad to help you ScotchGuard your new box.

Once I tried to make the Flying Bat from the Ravensblight site (after stumbling on a link from Flying-Pig.com), but it didn't work out very well, being too stiff and not hinged in the right places to flap freely. I prefer to blame the design rather than my dubious construction skills.
I'm tempted to try again with the Ravensblight designer's Skull mask. Could be just the thing to wear when answering the door to missionaries. It would also have the advantage that if the Frau Doktorin is wearing it, without me noticing the difference, then I will know that I need more sleep.
Flying Rodent called my attention to this:

Zombie hamsters...
I appreciate the, uh, recipe. You should know I adopted pensioned-off lab mice once upon a time, so I'm probably not going to actually try it...
And Herr Doktor, that's odd. My first attempt at the Ravensblight bat came out fine. I don't remember having much in the way of trouble with it, though I do know it was pretty stiff until everybody in the house had spent a couple days playing with it. At this point it's relatively smooth of function.
I painted mine with glow in the dark nail polish in spots, so it actually looks really cool. So I stuffed in in a box with the other models and will haul it out next October. I like building them, and so enjoy giving them away so I can make more, but I have more models I want to build than I do time, so I tend to keep everything unless I can find someone who wants it.
"And no, none of you can move in now that I have a spare room, okay?"
Dang it, my hopes of moving back to Kent were quickly raised only to be dashed on the shoals of despair. And only last night I dreamt I was working at Top again. (Give me zombie nightmares any day...)
When I was a kid I was terrified that a wolf was going to jump through my bedroom window while I was in bed at night, but I learned that if I counted backwards from 100 while thinking of shooting the wolf, it would be to afraid to jump through the window. And, you know what? It always worked. Kinda like your mask, D., kept the tiger away. And the same way that Dick Cheney scared the terrorists away.
