Thread: Help with useing an old prop

Tweet

I have 2 sets set of doors, there 6'8" x about 18/20" wide each. Each set is hindged. 2 have the plexi glass as shown, the other 2 have the same shape cut out but backed with black ply.
Like to make something new out of them. Even if I have to cut down the height and or seperate the doors in to 2 or 4 pieces.
Hope the pics come out.
Thanks

those are cool doors. so what is your theme? how about stain glassing them? or using that acid kit and engraving some spider webbing into the glass? maybe putting some big looking door knockers on them?

Thanks We had a friend hiding in it last time, but didn't go over that big. Thinking of making it look like a mausoleum
Note My yard is set up for people to walk thru and get the heck scared out of them

a mausoleum would be great. would you be putting a fcg as well?

Get people to get right up close to take a peek in the glass...Then you get them from the other side!
These doors look very similair to the old doors a local Dentist had on his 1880 house.
Nobody (almost nobody) was at home one fine summer day when a woman popped over, she rang the doorbell, waited, then stuck her face up real close to see inside.
All of this happened at the same time the missing python decided to come out of hiding and he was rared-up looking back through the glass at her! (BIG Python!)
Screams and bad dreams were to follow.
A word of warning:Some people may react physically by smacking the glass. The glass should actually be Lexon plexiglass a very almost unbreakable product. A local hot rodder ordered some for his Pro-stock drag car and forgot about it, I bought it installed in in my one haunted hallway door and people have beat on it repetedly with no breakage or injury.

If you paint the glass to look like stained glass it could be a gothic/churchy backdrop for a vampire scene.

terra, that's right up the direction i was thinking

Thanks all
Yes we have 6 fog machines [ 3 with timers] We did have a friend inside [ could lock the doors from inside] and then he would pop out in costume. Worked but not the big hit we thought it would be. The plexi is almost un-breakable.
Like the Vampire idea. I'll see what I can come up with. Note there very heavy, so it takes alot to keep the stable.
Still might seperate them for use as coffin lids.
Again thanks
