Thread: A few props for halloween 2010

Tweet

i've been quite busy between school and other stuff making seven or so props for halloween. This year will be the first year where i havn't just filled our yard with props bought from shops. So after being inspired by this website and the great people on it, i thought i would give it a go at making props myself.

This is my decapitated hangman. I did start off with having the legs attached, i tried to make them kick using a wiper motor but i didn't think it was very noticable. Personally i think it looks ok as a static prop.



This is my skeleton light stand thingy prop . Im sure there's a better name for it but i just can't think of one right now.

I put a flicker bulb under the mask but plan to light the whole stand up using a led spotlight.



And finally some pvc candles



Thats all for now folks but i will try to add some pictures of different props later.

Anyone know why some of the pictures arnt coming up ?

Gotta love the candles. I have a few of those myself and plan on making a few more. They look great scattered across the old graveyard. The only difference is I use candelabra base sockets so that I can run the candles off normal house voltage. I hate anything to be run by batteries.

Yay i got the pictures up. Thanks jaege i love them too, i think ill try and make some so they run off house voltage.

Looks great. Can't wait to see them in action.

Thanks halloweenrocks08

wow thats all just looking good there!

Okay, now it all looks good. I like the way you did your candles. What size pvc did you use?

Great job!!!

i used 1 1/2 " pipe which was a mistake because thats about the same size as the tea lights . I had to widen the inside of the pipe using a drill, now they fit snug inside
