monster in the trunk

Remember how I was trying to decide what to do with these flashing eyes I picked up for pennies in post Halloween sales?  Enter "monster in a trunk".  Since Madam Toll will be reading Tarot cards upstairs, I had to move this trunk to the dungeon to make space. 

For the monster, I cut some eye holes in a flattened cardboard box.  I then painted the box black and stapled some gorilla hands to it. An old piece of wood trim holds the trunk slightly ajar and voila' "monster in the trunk".  Baby M hates these gorilla hands - they always give her the creeps.
