Thread: what can I do with this? Old clock

Tweet

Aside from just spider webs y'all got any ideas of what i can do with this?? Paint, tombstone...I dunno.
Someone had thrown it out. It doesn't work and it's chipped in some places.

I'd make a tombstone out of it.....Some stone spray paint and maybe wording "Witching Hour" ???? Cool find

Yes i was thinking about that too, but I'm just not sure if it would look tombstoney or just some random clock that I stone painted lol

Excellent find!

You could replace/cover the clock face with an epitaph (carved into styrofoam) to complete the tombstone look. You might want to ditch the spindles on either side of the clock face. They just scream "clock". I don't know if the bottom part is a cabinet or not (i.e. has an opening door), but you rig this part up with a couple of different props. Maybe a grabber on a timer/sensor. Have the door swing open and the ghoul pop out. Maybe take the face of the base off and set up a static display. Stick a small light (perhaps l.e.d.) to the "ceiling" of the base so that it shines eerily down on ... a skull, zombie doll, scorpion/snake/hanging bat? Maybe just put a lit pumpkin down there, incorporating Badgirl's "Witching Hour" idea with the clock. Soooo many choices, so little time. Never enough time ...

send it over to BadTableManor. it looks sorta "steampunk-ish".

I am totally diggin the tombstone idea. The bottom doesn't open, but the top door does (where the clock face is) hmm...this is gonna be fun!!

But keep the ideas comin!! I like my fellow haunters to inspire me!

I would make it into a 13 hour clock, like the one in Disney's Haunted Mansion. Here's a link to the face you could use:

I agree! This clock is so cool.

I like the idea BooToYouToo has about the thirteenth hour clock! Maybe you can add some light inside to make the face glow.

Great find! I would make a 13 hour clock face, and hook it up to a recording of a clock striking 13. For the added bonus, set it up to chime 13o'clock when triggered either by motion sensor or pressure mat.

I wish I could find cool stuff like that! Happy haunting!
