The Peruvian Stigmas
"Highbury Cemetary" brings us these wonderful deformed skulls collected from a Peruvian burial site. Considering they're made with expanding foam and a cheap Halloween skull as a mold the results are all out of proportion to the effort required. The site includes a detailed writeup of their creation.

that is creepy cool - good find
What a great idea, I never thought to use the inside of the plastic skull as a form. I also found the build write-up to be very practical and helpful. The variations between the figures is quite nice and the extra foam runover looks pretty interesting. Gorilla glue makes a similar kind of goopy look, but it’s darn hard when it sets up. You can also use a scriber on these as well as a Dremel or the like to add additional details. Hollow plastic head forms could be used the same way to make monster heads. The mind boggles. Thanks for this post.
I recall Propnonmicon has had a few posts about using expanding foam:

Thanks. I strive to be the kind of place where the phrase "wonderful deformed skulls" is a badge of honor. Heh.

Based on my own experiences I know that spraying your mold with water significantly speeds up the foam's setting process.
