A little tape and sew job fixed this dummy right up.

The funniest bit was after this scene, I laid face down in the parking lot, wearing Joon's outfit, in a pool of "blood". Two small children in a minivan were horrified to see a "dead girl" in a parking lot. After we got the take, I stood up, brushed off, waived to the children, and walked away.
"Mommy- she got up!"

4 hours later, after we packed up and retrieved our cars, there was still a significant amount of "blood" in the parking lot. I'm shocked no cops ever came to investigate, especially considering we were less than one mile from the Troop E station.

Film screenings are at Kendal Square Cinema, 9:30 tomorrow night. Wish us luck!
