I saw a post last October where one of our members used a stone wall effect wall paper. It would look fantastic for a dungeon. Does anybody know where that can be found?

it may even have been a plastic sheet product...

Hmmm, I don't recall the post....if it is the thinner 'Scene Setter' material, that ^ is the stuff.

It's relatively inexpensive for a lot of coverage, but in my experience, is essentially a single use material as it rips/tears easily, and would probably require some care to reuse. So, for a permanent prop build, it probably wouldn't work out that great.

Alternatively, if the goal is to acquire something with a bit more resilience, I've also used actual wallpaper product with some success. Home Depot (and probably Lowe's) stocks some nifty stuff that looks like natural stone. Several 'stone' types can be seen here.

Also sometimes you can find "contact paper" in a stone appearance. I know I used the wood ones last year and painted them up a bit.

Wolfman:

If you can't find the wall paper already designed like that, then maybe try buying some plastic sheeting and painting it yourself? Although it will be more time-consuming, it might be a fun project, plus it would give it a more authentic look. You can get all kinds of plastic sheeting from abatix.com, They also have a flame retardant kind in case you have any candle decorations or other hazardous things nearby that might be risky. Here is a link to one that might work for you ["http://www.abatix.com/default.aspx?page=item+detail&itemcode=PLY204C&catlist=21" Poly Sheeting 4X200X2 Clear] although the picture is of a clear sheeting you can also buy black. I hope this helps!

We use Scene Setters to cover the front and side of the garage and our entire front porch. Last year, DH taped the Scene Setter to weed barrier cloth with clear duct tape, then put grommets in the top to hang it on hooks on the walls- held up to the big October rainstorms we normally get (lots of wind, lots of rain). They're acceptable during the day, but at night they look great, as the various wrinkles and folds add more texture to the stone pattern. After Halloween, we put them in the garage until dry, then roll and fold to store til next year. Eventually we'd like a more realistic look, but these work for now.

The material is best used indoors against smooth walls- there you can get a tight fit into the corners and a smooth appearance.

I have seen it at Home Depot here in Canada. I did a quick search and found link below?? Scene Setters work, but I find the sheen annoying, you wouldn't have that with wallpaper. It's not cheap though...

spoonflower.com has some but it is pretty pricey...if it is for a permanent fixture though, it may be worth it! http://www.spoonflower.com/wallpaper/1834121

If you are still looking for plastic sheeting stone "wallpaper" there's another brand out there similar to SceneSetters. This stone wall is carried by BuyCostumes and I'm sure other vendors:

While this isn't helpful now, thought i'd mention for future sources during halloween time that I've also bought similar products from 99 Cent Only Stores. Believe they had stone castle walls, dungeon doors and wood/floor stone grates a year or two ago. What shows up there seems to appear at Dollar Tree and vice versa a year or two later.

SpiderWitch, we did something similar one year to what you did. Used black duct tape on the top edge as I recall, think we folded it over when we were adhering, to double it and then punched holes in the reinforced part. Or maybe we just adhered the tape to the backside's top edge figuring the duct tape wouldn't tear when we punched holes in the panel and tape. Anyway hung it from small hooks along our wooden fence top rail (found a box of 50 or 100 of those xmas string light hangers that are a plastic hook and nail at Big Lots for cheap). I think we still have those hooks in our fence as a matter of fact.

A hair dyer will help take the wrinkles out. A good way to store the panels is to roll them up on some PVC pipe so they don't get creased during storage.

I used stone scene setter for my dungeon/jail cell. I use spray adhesive to attach it to cardboard, then attach the cardboard to my metal frame (old gazebo that the cover fell apart on). A light spray on the cardboard allows me to remove it and roll it up for future use. I attached it to cardboard so the wind wouldn't affect it and keep it more rigid.

We use the stuff all over, its a little too glossy but I have not found anything to beat it for the price. Make sure you put it on your Nov 1st shopping list and get it for half price. There is usually quite a bit left over and no mad rush for it either.

Here's our porch, day and night- this is just fastened at the top, so it's not as smooth as it could be...
