Thread: some vids of props I built

Tweet

Got some videos of my props.

First some background. For the last 8 years I have been helping my cousin with a haunted barn and I got the fever. He just moved away and I decided to continue the haunt in a local mall. I am not handy and have never built props. I was always involved in the sound and lighting though. He left some stuff he did not want.

I built all of this with stuff I had laying around and the stuff he left. I did have a pica boo box to make the puking guy work. So I have about $25 bucks into all this except for the pica boo. I did use a lot of advice I got off of this site and other how-to sites. Thanks for that. here are the vids. They are poor quality and I know my camera skills are bad lol.

amazing work!

Great props. The movement for the electrocuted man is idea inspiring!

Cool stuff! Where did you get the insulators for the electric chair---they look great!

Great props!!!

Glad you guys like these and thanks for the inspiring comments. I put them up in the hopes that I could give back and help because most of the ideas I got here.

The elecric insulators are actually toilet plungers i got at a local Rural King store for about 8 bucks each and cut the handle off and painted them primer grey. Again I got the idea somewhere off off here I think I did a search abot electric chairs and someone had done that. I would have never thought of that. I was looking for the real ones lol.

Also the rails on the drop panel was just metal conduit with the picture sandwiched between and it works great so far. I did get lucky, the clown pic was given to me and was an actuall painting on the wood, so i don't have to worry about it peeling off.

Good work, nice to see props made out of stuff lying around.

Great idea on the toilet plungers! I have been looking for insulators for a long time, either they are too expensive or far too heavy for my chair. Appreciate the feedback..

great looking props, the electric chair movement is awesome!!

I found it on here somewhere. I had been looking too and figured they would be heavey and knowing my luck, I would break them. Any other questions on any of the vids, just ask. I have a few more projects like a control panal that will sit next to the chair and an attack dog that I have to get figured out.
