Thread: 20 mannequin heads...need a prop idea!

Tweet

I don't have alot of experience building props, but my daughter works for Paul Mitchell and the students were practicing men's clipper cuts...I have 20 mannequin heads with brush cuts...any idea how I can use them all to create an impact? I was thinking of building a faux hole, and put them all in a wheelbarrel, and make some sort of undertaker guy dumping them into the hole, but I don't know how to build one...any other ideas? I would appreciate it! Thanks!

My 1st thought was e-bay. Get some money for them. (if you don't come up with an idea you love.) My 2nd thought was ground breakers.

Or like you said "Just a pile of bodies."


Both come from Pumpkinrot.com

Maybe do a "Motel Hell" theme?

I have five and am having the same problem. But 20, my God! Like the idea of the wheel borrow. I corpses one using regular caulk, turned out pretty good. My other thought was to bloody them up a put them either on a pole or spit over a BBQ

Or possibly a headhunter theme, with heads impaled on sticks.

i have some store bought halloween props if you want to trade , pm me

stick each one on a stake like Doc Doom said & line your driveway / walkway!

wow, that is so cool! marigolddesigns, what a find!! I have a few , one I made a zombie, but need to redo it a bit, but I actually cut some of the "skin" away especially the mouth too, I then took a old skull mask and put the teeth from it into the cut out area, the caulk like doc doom did sounds good too, with that many you could do so many things, you could have alot on stakes and still have some left over !

I'm thinking Guillotine. Build a simple guillotine and have a basket with all the heads in it. Or just have the heads laying around like they have just been beheaded. Of course you have to bloody them up a little.

I like the idea of putting them on stakes all over the place, borrow from the man they based count dracula on, count vlad thepes, he was a romania leader who bram stoker loosely based his fictional count dracula on, Vlad was called Vlad the impaler, he did away with alot of his enemies that way, he impaled them. You could blood them up a little, add some
hidden speakers with some moaning sound effects and have a very eerie scene.
