Thread: 4th teather on an fcg.... new idea????

Tweet

I've recently completed my fcg.


Now under no way shape or form would the girl allow me to attach my setup to the ceiling of our livingroom, so i had to come up with another plan.
I basicly built a make shift gallows to support the rig. This gave me what i thought to be a very novel idea. Use the structure to attach a 4th teather to my fcg.

I'm not sure if this is a new idea or not, but its not something i've seen (that i know of) The 4th teather is attached to the back of the head and pulls the ghost backwards. Gives the ghost an "i'm coming to get ya" motion.

check out the vid and tell me what ya think.

btw . if your interested, the band is a local (20mins away) canadian horrorbilly band "The matadors" song title "teenage zombie sluts."

Nice touch! Looks great.

if you offset the line to one side of the main coat hanger, it will turn the head/shoulders.

my porch is on the right of my window, so i moved the line to the right side.

THe movement with the 4th line looks great! I like the side to side motion.

I have been successful in using up to 5 lines on a FCG rig. I used 5 to make the "Dead Mime Marrionette" for the Rigor Mortis Theater. The dead mime's head arms and legs all moved in a creepy suspended dance. This was for our BOO BASH, which feaured a Carn-Evil theme a few years ago.
(as the sign says: "A mime is a terrible thing to waste!"
