Thread: Undead Henson

Tweet

Hey guys. This year I was thinking of going as a zombie Jim Henson, in memoriam of his death 20 years ago. I already have a few ideas, but I'd be happy to hear more.

One thing I'm going to do is find a Kermit puppet and decay it a bit, as if the Frog was buried with him. I might have to find pictures of him to get the style of clothes he wore.

I also want to do something with his voice, but I don't know what, like maybe have his true voice decayed while the Kermit voice is perfect. Or maybe the Kermit puppet is alive and drawing the Henson corpse around as if he's the real puppet.

Like I said, any other ideas are welcome.

Jim Henson had a nice beard going, maybe have a much smaller muppet ( worm ) stick it's head out of the beard. I have another Idea but I'll have to draw out .

Here ya go, take some light boards, some spinning wheels & some zombie stuffed muppets. You'll be a walking muppet version of Thriller. Huh huh what do ya think?

Well I did get done gutting a Kermit toy I had, making it a puppet. Now I have to make it look decayed (Holes in a few places that don't affect the puppet's workings.

I like the Thriller idea, but I was just going to go around as Jim and Kermit, since some of the guys you had (Gonzo, Fozzie) had different performers, like Frank Oz and David Goelz.

Pure Henson, I understand

...No I like BooBoo's idea better.

(jk) Briliant and original costume idea! Wish I thought of it. kermit should totally be decayed and just talk our of kermit with your best kermit voice otherwise those retards will be like "OMG why does this zombie have kermit on his arm! Whose Jim Henson? Where's my Boyfriend?"

BRILLIANT!!!

A friend of mine and I built Waldorf & Statler puppets for a convention this year. I may have to discuss the possibility of zombifying them with her.

When you get it done, please post pics! Wanna see!

S and W are the two old curmudgeons in the balcony right? I know them.

I figured I'd do this since I'm as huge a Muppet fan as I am Halloween. Figured I'd mix the two, and since it's been 20 years since he died (In the fall, oddly enough). Not to mention I could do a good Kermit voice.

creepy. I like that. I bet it would be tough to put this together. Deff wanna see pic!

So anyone have any puppet decaying ideas? I know for Henson to just do some standard issue zombie stuff (I might do the worm in the beard thing) with a few creative alterations.
