Thread: My newest prop: Lunging Scissor Ghost thingy?

Tweet

This will be set up behind some fencing on our path so no kids get accidentally knocked out. I will have a black light on it and an actor will be triggering the remote. Also, at the foot of the fence I have a cross I made with one of the ecrackers in it. That way if the lunging ghost does not scare em, I hit another button and maybe the popping and sparking or the cross will. BTW, ecrackers fit perfectly in 1 1/2 pvc.

Great prop!

looks gr8

i expect it will be a hit with the tots

amk

Nice work there, I really love ghost props.

I've already broken it. The styrofoam wig head broke at the pivot point last night while testing it. I think I'm going to try to rig something up with pvc. Better breaking now than on Halloween night I guess.

Oh no, he broke? Yes, plenty of time to fix him and make him more solid. He is really cute. It's his sudden lurch forward that makes him scary. Don't forget his haircut

Good news, I got him fixed last night. Reinforced his neck with some pvc so it won't break again. Bad news is I broke my stalkaround costume's neck and my trash can trauma last night.

plastic milk jugs make good heads, light and strong. nice prop thumbs up

How did things turn out for you? Sounds like there were a lot of snapped necks around your place. Hope you got everything back in order before the big day

All in all, a pretty good night. The broken neck on the stalkaround cost me my nodding ability but still had the head shake. I also was able to JB Weld the trashcan trauma back together in time to get it going. The scissor ghost worked great.
