We're getting even further off topic here... here's a scary costume item, we own
a stag's head mounted on a bicycle helmet.  You don't see the helmet, it's on
the inside for cushioning against the uncomfortable skull ridges.  More deerhide
comes down from the head as 'mantling' for the wearer.  Very eeerie, good for
the "Herne The Hunter" look.

Try to get the hoofs for dance rattles?  As Serian says, do it all with honor.
