  1. Halloween Props
    I want to build a life size coffin but only have minimal wood working experience. Does anyone have plans they could share with me, or tell me where to go to buy them? Thanks.
  2. Halloween Props
    I could use ideas for the mechanical parts of the sliding mechanism and a hand that comes out to grab the lid and goes back when the lid closes. I thought of using a servo, stepper or small DC motor for the lid. I know a lot of people use deer motors, wiper motors and linkages, etc. but I'm an...
  3. For Sale/Trade By Individuals
    I have a real casket that I’m looking to sale. The reason I have it is because a relative died near the beginning of COVID. They were cremated because we were not allowed to have viewings. Her plot was sold. Casket was never used other than myself and a couple friends taking pictures inside of...

    I stumbled across this real add on Etsy for actual coffin nails and graveyard dirt. For the small sum of $6.66 you can own these one-of-a-kind items.
  5. Halloween 2017

    I finally found a few picture from Halloween of 2017. That year I was preoccupied with getting married so I didn't take many pictures. My very first coffin! I am 5'4" and I fit inside. I used nails so it was too painful to do so. I had so much fun! I even made one for my cats... I also got...

    The coffin is equipped with a variable speed wiper motor. I used 1 1/8th diameter Manilla rope for the handles. After making a jig, I used a 1" 1/16th whole saw for the diameter of the holes. The original plan of fixing the rope handles failed miserably. Instead I duct taped the ends & tacked them.
  7. Halloween Props
    Work is about to get ugly for me so I need to start my decorative planning pretty quickly. I have limited storage room for any newer items so I am trying to make things as tiny as possible. As the title says, I am thinking about a foldable coffin. If I were to build one (not for actual human...
  8. Halloween Props
    I have an idea for a safety coffin which is one of those graves with the bell on top in case someone is buried alive by mistake. I am thinking about how to make the bell ring. I know there are those with more electrical knowledge so I am looking for ideas. In general I came up with a couple of...

    I'm going to build a "Monster in a box" prop this year. Actually it will be a "Monster in a Coffin" but the effect will be similar. I want to use the prop controller from Monster Guts in my title. I don't want the controller however to be triggered, but to run continuously on a loop. Fright...

  12. Halloween Props
    So this year I purchased a rotting corpse from Distortions Unlimited and I needed a coffin to display it. Let me just say, there are NOOOO decent coffins to purchase retail! I searched because I didn’t want to build it this year. Well, I ended up having to build one. I’m glad I did because it...
  13. Halloween Props
    My husband got an order from Kohl's yesterday and I couldn't help noticing that the box seemed to be tombstone shaped so of course I made it into a tombstone to stand up in my coffin. A little black paint, a little of that stone texture spray, some clear acrylic sealant and a few styrofoam...

  15. General Halloween
    As usual I did a fair bit of decorating for Halloween, which is probably strange since I live out in the country where I have never gotten any trick or treat activity. I continue to do it every year though; I enjoy it. I try to go for more of an Edward Gorey look but not a gory look. The...

  17. Halloween Props
    I tried something new. I've made tombstones out of this stuff but wanted to try a coffin. I just need to figure a way to make it shake or something. I am putting a speaker inside for sound effects. I made a (painfully long) video for my blog but here are some photos. It was fun to make!!:o
