Thread: Halloween Prop Hall of Fame

Tweet

I did a quick search and I don't think this has been done yet.

Darn near every time I get on the forum I see a prop that someone's made that makes my jaw drop. Skeleton quartets, dragons, giant pumpkin-demon things, 12 foot tall scarecrows, beating hearts, sword-fighting pirates, entrails, ghosts, tombstones, etc. made by some incredibly talented people from a mind-boggling array of skulpts, builds, pneumatics, mechanics, electronics....you get the idea.

In recognition of all that good stuff, this here's a Hall of Fame thread, where you can post your all-time favorite prop from the forum. Ideally it would be something that someone else did, but there's no rule against posting your own work (there are plenty of people here who have every right to be proud of what they've done!).

Animated, static, atmospheric, all are fair game.

and here's my favorite....devils chariot's 2009 Haunted Tiki Island. Great layout, colors, and designs.

I vote for anything by Terra !!!

Dave Lowe's Zombie Ground Breaker. It is not a fancy prop, but it is the one that got me "Hooked".

Can't leave out the classic AFG (axeworthy flying ghost)

I believe this is the originator of this prop, but I could be wrong

There is some great stuff out there. My two cents is that it needs to be homemade, not purchased.

This is just my opinion, but in a way, this forum is a hall of fame in itself. There are so many incredibly talented people here, with a passion for all things spooky, and creepy, that it's hard to single anyone out. I like the angle that beaconSamurai was taking, with what first inspired him.

My humble beginings were all static props for Halloween parties that my ex-wife, and I used to throw. I wanted to build animated props, but wasn't quite sure how. Then I found
Terror Syndicate's website, and my life changed forever! From there it was Vilethings, and Devious Concoctions, and Phantasmechanics, and I was a goner!!!

If I had to vote for one single prop I've seen on this forum, it would have to be Stolloween's "Buster Grimsley"!!! Absolutely incredible!!!

I Nominate this fine piece of work from Bobzilla.

I nominate "The Bride" by Lauriebeast. I also love her hag!! Her work is amazing!!!!!!

Gotta go with Mr Chickens 2009 yaard haunt.......
