Thread: Monster Mud Reaper

Tweet

Well I'm new to the forum, but I am not new to Halloween haunts. Halloween 2010 I created a 7ft tall reaper to showcase in the front yard. I had finished the majority of the prop, but failed to create hands, finish the inside of the hood, and make the skirt completely hide the base; however, I am happy with the final design. I wanted to see what others had to say, and I am hoping others have better design ideas.

I haven't made one of these yet, so I can't help with any suggestions for finishing him - but he looks really good!

Welcome to the forum!

I'll second that.

I think he looks great!

Very menacing! I think it looks great without the hands.

Welcome to the forum. Nice job on your reaper. I built one last year as well. I didn't build exposed hands either. I played around with hands on mine but it just looked better without them. I like the prop without hands. There are several other good examples of different MM Reapers on different threads here.

In the start I wanted one hand pointing and the other holding a light. I got so wrapped up in putting a fog machine in it that I did not have time to make the hands. This year I'm going to add the final touches, but am not sure if I want to put hands on it.

I will be looking into others designs. I am very impressed with many of the mm creations on this site. I love human ingenuity!

Awesome reaper! It looks great the way it is. Oh and welcome to the forum!

He does look great! Obviously his hands need to be skeletal and since it is difficult to find them you could just have a few handmade finger bones peeking out or wrapped around the lantern but he really does look good without them too

he looks awesome to me, very creepy!
I also like that both you and your neighbor decorate for Halloween! Sadly I am the only one for blocks around
