Prepare to tilt your head..

Finished him this evening.

I used a small but powerful desk fan with either high or low speed and a rotating head, with a lightweight torso mounted on top of it .
Hopefully the motor doesn't burn out, but I guess its just a waiting game.
The metal frame is painted black, so the plastic skeleton shows better in the dark.

It is on low in the video.

Thanks.

looks like it works pretty good is it noisy?

Looks good to me... pretty darn creative. The zombie looks great, too.
And if the fan does overheat and catch on fire, please be sure to film and post it.

Cab

Looks great! Can you get the shirt to hang down all the way around?

Good job! I'm a fan of oscillating zombies.

I think hat is a great use of the oscillation mechanism of the fan. Hooray!

Good Job.
Great use of the fan to make an effective prop without too much modification work involved.
I love the corpsing on his head and face too.

And as cab says..please be sure to post the video if he does catch alight!

good use of a fan as a prop. Very creative.

Thanks for all the positive comments!

I need to pull his chicken wire torso down a bit, after that the fan base will be hidden by the shirt.

I ran out of brown and red paint, so I wasn't able to corpse the rest of his body.

Hopefully I can scrape some more cash together , or else he will have to be revamped next year.

I used the exact same method for my grim reaper last year, unfortunately it gives me a little more trouble as I have a very heavy talking boris head on it.
