C'mon, Rick, spring the $4400 for the Costume Randy put up. With that in your Haunt, you can justify an increase in your entrance fee. Incredible! Plus, a remake of the film is coming out this year...you might be able to hire the suit out to a local theatre to drum up interest in the movie.

Hey now, thats not a bad price... and he didnt mention about a budget. j/k

I just bought this prop and Im building a 125' (10:1) scale model of the Empire State building complete with 10:1 scale model remote control bi-planes. A blonde sixth grader will play Fay Wray. And Kong will have fully animated head and arms to swing at the bi-planes.

. I wish....

Given those prices, I might just "improvise" the monster in the lake.

Randy,man That Looks Great And Thanks For The Help,but My Budget Comes Out Of My Pocket And Although I Am Going To Raise The Price This Year,all The Money Is For An Ohio State Park. So I Guess I'm Still Looking For Help.although We Are A Charity And Do Have A 501c3 From The Irs So You Are More Than Welcome To Donate It 5to Us And I Will Get You A Tax Credit Letter!!!we Love Any Help We Can Get. Thanks,rick

Sorry...you missed the sign at my door..."No Solicitors" j/k

Im with Johnny... this is one you'll probably have to improvise and poor boy it like the rest of us. See if someone you know is a suba diver/surfer and has a wet suit. That would be a good start...

I cant wait to hit the lottery...

With a wet suit, some neoprene scales, epoxy and a guy with an air brush, you could put together a pretty good replica of the Gill Guy. Look up Rico Browning's (The original stuntman in the rubber suit) grandchildren and see if the thing is laying around somewhere, or if they've already sold it to Todd McFarlane.

Wolfman, thanks for the ideals,but how do you make and attach neoprene scales or where can I buy them.I found a great mask and went out and bought some material with the wife.She is going to sew the costume,but it is going to need more.I thought of attaching some fake seaweed like you find in the aquarium shops,but the neoprene scales sound like they would be cool and add a lot to the costume. Thanks, Rick
