Thread: mobster zombies

Tweet

We are doing a zombie ganster/mobster room, kinda of like a scene from a prohibiton wharehouse and or garage/ bar. Maybe a st. valentines day massacre, what props do you think I will need or want?

BOTTLES, lots & lots of bottles! And guns. Pinstriped suits & fedoras. Flapper girls.

Sure, bottles and guns and pinstriped suites and fedoras. But flapper girls are not props, they are people. And should be treated like people - not objects. Unless they are mannequins or something - those are indeed props and should be treated as such. Actually, there is nothing wrong with treating a prop as you would a person - but you may get some strange looks. Be prepared to deal with that.

Beer and liquor! Lots of beer and liquor! Maybe I should come over and test it to make sure the taste is of that time period too......

And lots of wooden barrels. Watch Boardwalk Empire for ideas.

I concur with Lisa! That is exactly what is needed! Best of luck to ya on your theme this season!

Don't forget a gambling casino.

We will use bottles, use some Jack Daniels bottles and prob Jim Beam I want to use some recognized bottles that have been around a long time. We will use some empty beer boxes to stack in a corner, I have one wooden barrel that will go in this scene. For Costumes I have one ganster lady and one flapper girl, I can get more. I figured most guys can just get away with suit and tie. I will be looking for tommyguns. We plan on making a bar, my friend suggested going to a junkyard, and getting the backend of a car, just using the trunk. Not sure how that will work. We have toyed the idea of a casino table. Just wondering if there is something I may be missing?

In the prohibition days casinos were against the law also so the establishment always looked like a legit lounge, but always had a seedy back room either hidden or the tables could be quickly hidden out of site at the first signs of a bust.

You can get away with white dress shirts , black dress pants, black leather shoes, black suspenders. black thin tie, and slick hair. I have seen acouple people pull off a "Working" mobster image very well. Just dirty up you shirt alittle, maybe bloody your knuckles too.

If you can make up some period advertising, maybe have that, along with a darboard & some lit sconces on the wall?
