e's the ghost with the most, babe, and this depiction of him is Beetlejuice at his most malevolent. I went around and around trying to figure out some kind of base for the snake when I hit on the idea of a Burton-esque Jack-in-the-box. I had a lot of fun doing this one until it came to the scales. Then I had...less fun. The hair is theatrical crepe hair. In answer to an often-asked question, no, the Jack-in-the-box doesn't work. The sculpture measures 19 inches tall. (The little gold things on the top of the box are beetles)
