Thread: My Grave Grabber Finished

Tweet

Finally got my Grave Grabber all together, still need to build a better audio file for him but that won't take long.

Here's a Video.

Built using a Shiatsu Messager, Extra Skull I had laying around, Some 1/2 inch PVC and elbows, old set of PC speakers, an old 1 Gig MP3 player looping the sound, a light bulb socket, a couple old PC power cords, old Shirt and a rubber severed hand cut down and slipped over the arm then taped. It's triggered by a motion light attached to a board and a screw in plug socket.

wow good job KCMongo.that'll be a true scare on those little treaters

that looks fantastic!

may i make a suggestion?
have you thought about adding a 4 to his neck?
his head wuld still be tilted but he wouldn't do so much head banging.

a 4? Like a 4 way T? Sorry not following?

I like the head motion, looks like he is in pain or struggling.

I agree, this is a great Halloween prop! I need a couple of these for our yard haunt cemetery!

sorry, 45* (the 5 on my keyboard keeps sticking, guess its not a big fan of coca cola.)

he'd still move much the same, his head would just be a little more upright. (depending on which way you rotate the 45*)

Got ya.. Yeah, It's not glued together so I can change it up a little if I want, I was trying to give the impressing he was reaching up and out.

I attached the PVC a little different than other setups I've seen the arm side doesn't have any plumbers tape limiting it's movement, it's just limited by the side of the box and the broken piece sticking up. The head has one piece of plumbers tape screwed to the PVC to limit the movement out.

I love the way he moves..don't change a thing.

That's a really clever way to adapt that massager action into a halloween prop.
