Cauldron creep...actually it's the bones of a witch from the Texas piney woods cursed to stir her cauldron forever.

I love cauldron creeps. I believe that yours is one of the best I've seen, sooooo creepy! The stirring bones is a outstanding touch. Super job!

Thanks again everyone. I wanted to do a step by step on this guy but I had to keep going back and rebuilding it so it would not bind. Because I wanted to use the rotisserie motor instead of the wiper motor. But I can give a parts list.

-Right stuff (coals)
-Resin wine barrel planter (cauldron)
-Ebay fairie lights-red, orange, green (coals, cauldron)
-Bag of bones (cauldron)
-Crazy Bonez posable skeleton (creep)
-rotisserie motors (cauldron and head movement)
-1/2 pvc and fittings and glue (frame)

The 'floating' bones in the cauldron really add to the detail. I'm going to steal that idea once I figure out the motor bit of the equation.

Not trying to hi-jack this thread but here's the link to the Cauldron Reaper I did last Winter. There's some pictures of the progress which might be helpful.http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/140269-start-my-cauldron-reaper.html

J-man I think yours is the one that I got the soup bones idea from, I must have looked at every cauldron creep I could find.

Nightfisher also did a really nice one last year using wire mesh as you did.

Ha! You answered what I needed to know before you started your list! Luckily I have a stash of rotisserie motors!
