Thread: Questions re: FCG, Monster Mud and other ?'s

Tweet

I would really like to use both but am not mechanically inclined at all when it comes to the FCG. I need a SIMPLE "step by step" guide as to how to set up the rig. I do have a metal "t" if thats what you call it that I got years ago but just couldnt figure out how to use it. Anything simple that would make a ghost go from one end to the other would be great.

Also, does anyone have a link to show me how to make the Monster Mud? I have seen so many awesome props from other haunters on here and would love to get my hands dirty making something. I looked through the posts because I saw it the other day (yep, slow me didnt bookmark it) but now I can't find it so any help would be greatly appreciated!

My last question is this...

We just made a coffin and I am looking for a "simple" way to make the lid open and close as if something is trying to get out. I am thinking of putting a skelly in there and when someone walks by I would like the lid to raise gently showing the hand pushing it up while fog and a strobe light going off. Does that make sense? I know what I want just not sure if I am explaining it right.


Again..directions have to be all laid out for me because I am the slowest when it comes to how to's LOL

Here's a monster mud site Twisted Visions Inc. hope it helps.

I am not at all mechanically inclined either, so for me, the best set of instructions were from here:

Flying Crank Ghost

But some stuff didn't make sense to me until I actually sat down and did some of it and saw it "in the flesh" so to speak.

One thing I did that I can't remember where I read is to get eyebolts instead of pulleys. I thought that was just adding an extra step likely to cause problems, and the eyebolts are simple and better.

I still need to finish out my rigging and hang and test the whole thing, but it really should work.

As far as the coffin, I would think the same principle for the tombstone peeper.
One like this: Head Popper

I really like HauntProject.com - Your visual source for Haunting How-To's for project how-tos. There are tons of good instructions on there.

Hmm, that Twisted Visions web site is pretty screwed up. Half the pages are missing, lots of broken links and poorly written text.
