Thread: Prop Destruction?

Tweet

Well, I came home today to find my dog, Tyson chewing up one of my Blucky skulls. Not sure how it happened, but he got it nonetheless. Now, Im not too upset, because it's only a cheap blow-molded skull with deformed eyes, screwed up jaw and misplaced neck, but it got me wondering if anyone on here had a pet/loved one/stranger unknowingly or knowingly destroy a prop, of physical or sentimental value. Please share any stories! (Pictures follow, of course).

Give that dog a bone!
Big improvement on the blucky skull!! Looks a lot creepier now.
A few years ago I had made some FCG skeletal hands using "Rigid Wrap" which is a mache type, plaster coated cloth material.
They were painted flourescent green and ready to use, but one night my daughter's cat decided to "eat" a couple of the fingers on one hand. (This cat eats anything.)
I was able to repair it, luckily.

does giving away props count. I moved and had to unload a bunch of cool good props for free.

I guarantee that won't happen again!

Well never had a prop damaged yet but i had a couple punks tear down part of my haunt one year. Unfortunately for them i was standing right behind them and watched them do it. Needless to say both of the offenders were physically shown the error of thier ways over and over again. Unfortuantely the police were called and the haunt got shut down for the rest of that week, but it felt great putting those turds in thier place.

Yesterday my cat pulled open my office door and jumped up on my desk to get to some ostrich feathers. He knocked my newly-bought HD video camera onto the floor. The camera seems unhurt so far. Feathers and cat are in okay shape too.

Wow, what did you do to them? (Yeah I know you said needless to say)

Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw it.

awwww, that's a cute puppy! Good dog for making it look better!

We've been lucky so far. The cats mostly just take over the clean clothes basket, but one of them attempted to use my mummy as a scratching post.... till it nearly fell over on her.

What an adorable dog! Luckily my dogs have never been chewers.

Sorry to hear that, but I agree it looks much better. Your dog's a Boxer right? I have 2 of them that are 3 years old and they chew everything insite when we leave them home alone. I don't know what I would do if that ate my Halloween stuff. Most of the time they bark and run from it!
I builted a grim reaper to hang from my porch 2 years ago and had it sitting in my living room one night and my male dog started barking and winning at it for like 45 minutes, then the female got in on it. I had to move it to a different room and hide it!
It's hilarous to see 75lb and 85lb dogs running from static props! Bunch of big scaredy cats. HA HA!
