always thought wallcrawlers were really freaky and cool, but, I haven't seen any threads here... any ideas on best way to pull off?

We did one. It was made from a PVC frame and styrofoam. It was ok, but looked too fake. Our next one will be a Duct Tape Dummy. Based on the results of our other DTDs, it will look very real. Here is our first Wall Crawler:

Or, do you mean a MOVING Wall Crawler... one that actually crawls across the wall or ceiling? We discussed that once. We decided the combination of being light-weight enough to be suspended on a trolley system and animated enough to appear to actually be crawling was too much for our level of experience. It would have been easier to suspend a REAL person on a Pipe & Glider system.

This year I'm going to try and do blucky's with two sided velcro on the outside of my house. That way they will look like they are trying to get into the house.

OH man, way too bad you missed the get together this weekend, One of the guys brought a wall crawler he was working on. It was really cool, going to move and all. You will have to look him up- www.darksoulproductions.com. He is from your side of town even, very talented and lots of props under his belt.
