Thread: Gourdie

I tried to make one of these out of PVC last year. It sucked! So, I tried again this year and I actually had a game plan. Meet Gourdie.







The inspiration for this prop is Grim from the Grim Hallow haunt. My take is a little different. I made his body more vine like than the original.

Wow Chris, that's gonna be cool! I love the feet & hands.

That is great. Good choice on the wood frame. I think PVC has the advantage when you can pull apart your prop for easier storage, but wood just seems like its easier to work with. Would love to see a tutorial or even a summary on the steps!

Awesome.

Can ya make me one too?

Oh, I love the vine body... it's the stuff like that, completely unnatural, that really freak me out! (well, as I say that, I guess it's "completely unnatural" for a zombie to be popping out of my perfectly manicured lawn only in the month of October, but.... you know what I mean!)

Oh, wow! I love the way you created that creepy frame. Makes me want to run the other way screaming!

Thanks guys. Here is some video Hauntcast - Videos and How-2s . It's not exactly a How 2, but gives you a walkthrough of the project.

Gourdie is very cool. Great job.

Nice job I like it

Looks great. I think I'm going to make one of these when I get back home in April.
