Thread: My Endless Tunnel

Tweet

This is the endless tunnel I just finished. It's a twist on the classic bottomless pit. It's supposed to simulate a long escape tunnel one would use to get away from zombies. I'll have it laying on its side against a wall for Halloween so people can look into it. It's constructed out of 1/4" OSB over a frame made from furring strips, with a plywood base. The inside of the box measures 29" x 30" and it is 3 ft. long. I used a 2-way mirror I found near a dumpster and a regular mirror I had to buy. I covered the inside and outside in wood from old pallets. Overall, I'm very happy with it, and it cost around $50 (most of the cost was from buying the regular mirror.)

I look forward to your feedback!

Terrific prop!
That's a nice variation of the bottomless pit. I think I like your idea better.

Wow, that's really cool! I had always wondered how that was done.

Great job!

Thanks, everyone!

Wouldn't happen to have a how-to there... would ya?

Very nice work on the tunnel! I made one years ago that everyone still says wow about, it's a great gag...

Unfortunately, no. I didn't take pictures, and pretty much made it up as i went along, but it's almost identical to these 2 versions: (just used wood instead of foam on the inside)

Were you wearing a mask in the picture, I see a reflection of something weird.
