Thread: NEW 2009 Halloween props- Brothers GRIMM

Tweet

Here are a few of my props for this year! 2 Zombies that will be in my graveyard this year, I have one more that I need to dress for the occasion!!



I also finished my "monster in box" that will be run off a motion sensor power strip hack. The candy bowl will be placed on top of the lid and when the kids walk up to grab some candy, it will start up! I have a red light inside and a small fog machine to add to the effect! I connected the chain on top to the chain on his wrists so when the lid opens it moves his hands up and down...Ill get a video soon!



You can see the motions sensor below in the photo. Its underneath the box so feet will activate it...


I also purchased this prop for my rocking chair prop. Ill post those once its finished!



Here is the other zombie that I am thinking of changing his outfit to a suit like the others...

They all look great!! I especially like the zombie on the right with the jawbone showing.

Where did you get the Old Man in the Chair prop?

yeah we want to know?????

What do you use for the body? Can you give me some details on how you constructed the frame?

Like the others, I want to know where you got the sewn up old guy.. was he originally designed and sold as a ground breaker? (stake into your lawn)

id really like to know.

everything looks fantastic btw, I love your zombies.. how did you put them together...

I actually found the mannequins cheap off craigslist. $30 each (Thats the frame) I got the Stitched man off ebay. He was made by Silent Creations (thats their ebay name also) The clothes are just salvation army $5 pants and coat. Here is my other coffin I made. More for a background effect, wont be seen close up... I nave plexi glass in the window but its hard to see. Using the "flicker light" tutorial here on the forum to get the lights to flicker. Using a Floresent starter and 2 night lights. Looks ALOT better in the dark!


Ill have a back on it so you cant see thru it and a illow for his head to rest on..



He is made to be on a PVC body (which I am constructing now) and has PVC conections ot attach to a body. Here are a few more photos of him...

Thanks meltdown! I am familiar with Silent Creations... Though they have not been active on ebay for a while. Your set up looks great! I love it!

that stitched up guy has to be the best looking prop I have seen for a long time, ive been looking for a latex head/prop to use for a pnumatic rocking chair scare, he would be perfect. how much did he set you back?

Wow, nice set of ghoulies! Expect to have A LOT of candy left over after Halloween!
