Scary Jack-in-the-Box Costume

I am the Giant, Scary, Jack-In-The-Box. I came up with this idea since it seems like everyone is a little scared of clowns. However, I did not just want to be a simple clown. The box is framed and covered with black cloth. It has wheels on the bottom to move. I can drop down and walk with the box. It also has flashing lights and sound. My body is made of a "kids" tunnel and covered with cloth. It looks like a giant spring. I stand still in my yard on Halloween and scare the older kids when they come past.
