Thread: Found a garage full of Fright Theatre Skellys....

Tweet

This was so cool, there I was taking a new detour from my house and in this neighborhood just half a mile up the street from me I notice Skellys in a garage, very,very nice Skellys I might add (I was praying he was having a garage sale but these looked movie grade $$$ even from the street) so I whipped back around and met Steve working in his garage on them. Very nice guy and his work is first class, he's 2 weeks behind from show orders. Man how cool to find out you have a profesional prop builder just up the street from me. Really got me in the mood.Here's his web site Fright Theatre

Nice looking skeletons!!
You're lucky to find a neighbor who makes Halloween/Horror props! I wish I could find someone in my neighborhood like that.

Those are amazing. That must have been cool to see in person. Thanks for the pics.

Those are really great skellies! Nice to find common ground right in your neighborhood.

How cool! Maybe he can teach you a few tricks!

for 525 bones i could get five buckys. he needs to knock his price down to about 50 bucks.
well, at least you wont have to pay for shipping.

Thanks yeah I was blown away by the detail and I've never seen any Bucky's look nearly that good. He said he wasn't even half way done with them yet and that order was heading to Canada.He doesn't even spray, all work is hand brushed on soft latex foam he molds (felt like soft rubber). In the front of them he adds some moss (thin burlap material). The big bones was hook to a hydralic scissor arm that springs forward forward but I just didn't have $ 800 on me at the time or I would have got that bad boy....lol.I really wanted that. Yeah it was so cool to see from the street my eye's just lit up. We'll keep in touch thats for sure.

That is so awesome. Does he do anything in his yard at Halloween? I wish I could have a business out of my garage...

Just checked out the site and they are very cool skeletons, but way too expensive for me. I would rather build my own. But that is pretty cool to have a guy like that right down the street. that would be great to have someone to learn some stuff from. If i had a pro haunt or tons of cash, yea i would definately get some from him.

That is soooo cool! It took me a second to realize just who you were talking about. Then it dawned on me...Fright Theatre had one of the stand-out props at Transworld.

His skeletons have the most unique movement. If you bump into them they wiggle around just like a spooky creature. They keep wiggling for a good period of time. I was thinking that all you had to do was hook up a small pneumatic cylinder to jar it and you've got an amazing animontronic. The natural movement is achieved by having a steel 1/4" rod throughout it's body which transfers this kinetic movement beautifully.

I taped them being bumped by my hubby. It's at Time Stamp 1:30.... Just watch that great movement!
