Thread: Cheap Monster In A Box

Tweet

This is my version of a MIB. I took a cardboard box made it look like a real wooden box, added some stenciling, bought a bumble ball off of ebay for $11.00, added some plastic chains from another prop I had and thats it. Oh I had to add another red pool toy ball for some more shaking.

That's a really clever idea, lol you're right about the WTH expression on your dogs face.

Thats a really good and cheap solution to the MIB! I plan on doing the same thing only put a small rubber cork or half of a bouncy ball in the direct center of the "crate" to make it un-level. As the bumble ball bounces around, the crates movement will be exagerated as it tips and tumbles.

Great paint job by the way!

Very cool idea - it turned out fantastic! The TOTers are gonna get a kick out of that.

awesome prop!! I was wondering if one could somehow attach strings or rubber bands to the bumble ball and the sides of the box to create movement too.....dunno, might work.

Great prop again!

Great prop!
Including my favorite word: "CHEAP". Nice job on that.

That's a good idea and very inexpensive! How long do the batteries last in those "bumble balls"?

A very similar to this animatronic is Like $2,000.00 at Horror Dome. LOL good job on you

That is freakin' awesome! Gonna make one for sure!! I have to ask also, how long do the batteries last in those things??

I ran the Crazydog Bumble Ball continuously, all day and night. After the 3rd day of it still bumbling and bouncing; I finally turned it off! It lasts a very long time!
