Thread: A few new props

Tweet

Here are a couple of new props I've made for this year.

The gravedigger and the werewolf - combo monster in a box/grave grabber.


The gravedigger raises and lowers the arm holding the lantern. The werewolf is a grave grabber that is mounted on a large version of a monster in a box. I will have a spotlight inside the box, along with a fog machine and some werewolf sounds. His eyes are also green LED's. It will be triggered by a motion detector.

Great looking props I would love to see video of them.

Awesome gravedigger!!

The effect of the werewolf coming through the bars is terrific. Gravedigger is gruesome. Nice work!

Love them both very good job, yes some video would be great. What are you using to make the arm go up and down? I just finished my werewolf a couple days ago, but have to attach his feet, had a slight setback. I put some yellow strobing eyes in mine.

Here are a few pictures of the gravediggers mechanism:

The motor is a blend door actuator, or the little motor in your car that changes the vents from defrost to vent. Linkage is a hanger and aluminium.

And a few of the werewolf:

A $5.00 massager from the thrift store.

fantastic work! Love the grave digger, his stance with his legs, very scarey werwolf, great idea with the shiatsu motor!

These pics are great! I especially love the gravedigger. I am building one myself very soon and would love to see some video of the gravedigger in action.

sorry if I missed it but what is the movement of the gravedigger??
How strong is that motor?
I may have to try some of those for simple head turns?
Where do you buy them from?

Thanks
