What was the inspiration behind this scary scarecrow? The kid’s mom told Costume Works that Dad always dresses as a scary scarecrow for Halloween, so 3-month-old Cameron is following in his terrifying footsteps.

“The mask is homemade out of leather, cheesecloth and liquid latex and painted creepy with raffia as the hair,” Lisa explained. “The mask is lined with soft, black fleece and was very comfortable for him to wear. The black shirt has burlap glued to it and the ‘rice paddy rake’ was used as a hayfork since it was the right size.”

The only people who can make this creepy Edward Scissorhands costume look cute are an itty-bitty… and Johnny Depp.
