Trying to come up with a good idea/use for some 6-8 (used to teach Hair Cutting) Mannequin heads.

Our theme is Zombie/Graveyard.

Last year we didn't use all of them, one was on a static prop clown, one was in the fridge with clown make up, one in the spare bedroom, one was looking out a bedroom window and one was just carried across the "stage" with a clown wig on and set in the corner.

All the ones we used last year we are able to remove wigs and make up and have normal heads again, I would like to be able to do that with at least some of the heads this year.

Any ideas would be Great!

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!

I think a guillotine would be a nice idea, with the head in the basket and blood supprting out. Could even make the rest of the body spasm some to add to the effect.

Or carve out on of the eyes and have something coming out of it, with blood trickling down the face...Stick the whole thing on a plater.

Or send a few to me, I have need for them

Do you know how to juggle?

PVC, chicken wire, carpet latex glue, paper towels, hot glue and and paint or stain......

For about 30 dollors and a couple days work, you can make zombies out of all the heads....
Something like this one....

Only my family, my love for halloween, my start up business, and the real job (note priority) all at once. Does that count?

But I like where you are going with the idea.

Madmax - That is a GREAT prop right there!! Just looking at the pic of it creeped me out. Reminds me of this movie I saw once where there were a bunch of people with faces messed up like that and they were all shiny (no idea what the name of the movie was.) Great job on it!! I think I would be royally creeped out if I saw it in person! And I am VERY hard to creep out/scare.

He also moves.....and the best thing about that prop is it cost me ZERO CENTS. Everything I made him out of was either found in a dumpster or gave to me.

The stand he's on came from a music store. It's a stand that had head phones and you listen to a CD before buying it. In the back I put a wiper motor and crank where the electronics were. I put a fogger in the bottom, where the speakers were.

i dont have those type heads ive got styrofoam ones but i think you could still change their features with model magic , great stuff, etc... latex n repaint em.

H.P.:

Natascha:
Those heads are a bit harder to alter, but basically the same idea as with foam heads, like this...

Whynotgrl666:
Add features like you mentioned, glue on some cheap wigs, paint 'em gory...
Find someone who can juggle them, while dressed up as a blood soaked butcher, or sweet old Grandmother, to "entertain" the kiddies!

Fill a zip-lock baggie with blood, insert it into a hollowed out neck and tape it into place. Cut a small piece of the corner off, and when juggled, the necks will spurt blood all around! YAY!!!

The details needn't be perfect, the tangled, bloody hair and gore, along with the constant motion, won't allow any close scrutiny.
The spraying blood helps to keep people at a distance too!


For cutting into a styrofoam head, try a soldering iron to melt the foam. You can manuever the tip around and create a cavity larger than the opening.
If you do melt styrofoam, do it outdoors! Toxic fumes and molten goo! It wouldn't hurt to keep a bowl of ice water nearby, just in case of a napalm-like burn.

On that note... Enjoy!

if they are beauty school heads you should put all different size nails and red paint all over
i saw a couple like that at this display a town over and it creeped me out
