Monster-In-A-Box Halloween Prop (Part 1, the Box) or Just a Good Pallet Box

I've separated this instructable into 2 parts. Part 1, The box and Part 2, The Guts. The build of this box can stand alone and be used for any number of projects requiring a sturdy wooden box if you don't cut the window and jail bar area out. See my other instructable "Monster-In-A-Box (Part 2, The Guts) for the second part of this build.
