Thread: My version of the "Grave Grabber"

Tweet

I wanted to share the prop I used this year. Thank goodness for the internet community and all the information out there!

I've used the kicking legs (ala Scary Terry) for a few years now, but this year built them the half high ground breaker coffin to reside in. They stuck out with a hand "pulling" them in while they kicked to get away. They were lit partially by the blue floodlight in the yard, then when the motion sensor went off, they'd kick with a mini strobe lighting them. Big hit again this year!

The new one this year was the Grave Grabber (from this site: Build your own Grave Grabber). I used a talking bucky skull I've had for years from Scary Terry just for simple effect. Then, added the Bucky Lid and Hands from Ghost Ride Productions. This video is during the day to see it better, but it too was lit with faint blue light and had a mini strobe that lit it up when the motion sensor was tripped.

I hope you enjoy!

Scarry even in the daylight!

That is awesome!
Love the talking bucky head, it really makes the prop that much better.

Great job on the prop.. love the hands and arms.. Make them or use something else?

The arms/hands were bought from Ghost Ride Productions. It's their Mummy Hands listed here, Ghost Ride Productions, Inc..

Thanks for the compliments!

WOW! Great sound and motion on that guy!

The mouth moving adds so much more to this. Loved it!

Yes, I like the moving mouth. I'm going to add an extra joint and streatcher to the elbow area that will allow the arms to bend with a sweeping / grabbing motion.
