Looks amazing. How did you go about keeping the arms up? And you are covering the noodles with plastic wrap to give it that skin like texture.

Thank you. Yes, I basically plastic corpses the pool hoods to give it it’s texture. Instead of corpsing, it’s more like barking the tree.

to keep the arms up. The arms are 1/2 in pvc. The core of the prop is 3 inch pvc. I drilled two holes in the 3 inch pvc with a 7/8th spade drill bit. I put a 6 or 7 foot piece of 1/2 inch pvc through the holes. I then made a pilot hole through the 3 inch pvc into the 1/2 inch pvc. Then I drove a 2 inch deck screw through the hole into the 1/2 inch pvc. doing it on one side is enough to stabilize the arms. I did it on both sides and they are as solid as can be. Then I hit the arms with a heat gun to shape them.

I put together a video tutorial taking you through the steps to build a demonic tree limb. It’s fairly easy and great for a haunt if you have trees on your property.

thank you, I appreciate the compliments. Knoebels is one of my favorite places. I have a 12 year old and we have made that our yearly trip at the start of June to start off summer. Camping and a amusement park. A great combo. They do halloween things during October and I would like to go, but am always working on my display at that time.

CREEPERS: I made the one creeper on the right (without the eyes last year.) I wanted do two, but it was at the end of the season when my patience was running short. I finally gave it a Brother. Not sure how I feel about the eyes though. What do you all think? Do they look better with eyes, without or as they are? Thanks for any feedback.
