Thread: Shiastu Grave Escaper

Tweet

Valentines Day I was host to a Make & Take of Florida Haunters.
Our project was Shiastu Massager's.

This is J. W. , which is short for Jerky Werkey.
When he was first assembled, he had some rather un-controlled Jerkying
and big arm swaying going on. LOL. He has been tweaked and is running smoother. His head is just a styrofoam creation. the lower jaw cut out and
re-set - eye sockets carved out etc. Tongue is a sponge. Eye ball is a ban roll on ball and teeth are q-tips that were built up a bit with some air dry clay and then sealed with fingernail acrylics. The head was latex painted.
Motor is the Shiastu Massager with PVC arm frame ( per Spooky Sam's grave escaper ) and PVC head support with plumbers tape to limit the motion of the PVC's. Hand is just a child's monster glove attached to the PVC.
Box was built out of scrape wood.
I intend on lighting the inside with some kind of strobe and motion sensor.
However all my Halloween lighting is in attic and I cannot get to it right now.
Here is a couple of pics of J.W. and a Video.
Sorry the video is sideways. LOL ! Newbie to doing video's and posting them. If I retake one later, I will post it correctly.

The motion of the head is great.

Great prop. The movement is perfect for a zombie.

What a fantastic zombie prop! Awesome job!!

Oh wow! That is really awesome! Will you be posting a how-to on your wonderful creation??

Awesome prop!! I love the head--it's a masterpiece! I can tell it took quite a few hours to put all of that together.
The way he's dressed he looks like a stockbroker before he's had his morning coffee!!
Congrats on a wonderful prop!

Yes, please post a how to!!!!

Way cool !!

any pic's of it without a shirt on? to see the frame work?

I just saw the how-to on that yesterday and was wondering if it's feasible to put it in the top of a coffin like it's trying to get out? Since you made a really fantastic example, you can answer me. lol
