here it is.A life size zombie puppet,based on another prop i saw on the web.
I bade the skeleton from PVC and connected the joints with zip ties.I bulked it all up with newspaper and some cardboard.the head and hands are made from paper mache ,and covered with a sort of snot rag mache.the puppeter costume(not shown)is pantyhose on my head with the legs cut of,used to cover my hands and feet.i made a breast plate type thing from cardbouard and hot glue.I think thats it,but if it turns out i forgot something i'll add it later

OK,a back story.A wealthy Englishman,Dezmodius Usher,was very power hungry.He had realized that in life there is power.By that he came to the conclusion that he needed a way to live for ever.he hired the best scientists money could buy to find a way.All failed, but one thought he had found the formula for eternal life.He had tested it on himself and had already gained enhanced strength and heightened senses.He presented it to Dezmodius,who then injected it into himself.The next day he was astonished by the changes and went to congratulate the scientist.When he arrived he found the man dead,yet still alive.the creature ran at him,knocking him to the ground and causing him to hit his head on the corner of the table,knocking him out.He survived that day,but hes not himself anymore....

Very good job Draik. I will be sure to NOT come to your house for Halloween. If I saw him I would probably wet myself.

Good looking zombie. You said it was a puppet, can you elaborate the puppet aspect? Glad you made the deadline!

very cool. For Halloween you could place a wiper motor or a pneumatic cylinder behind him attached to his chest somewhere with a pressure mat on the bottom step. when tripped he would lunge forward and then sit back down again. That would scare a few people.

Hey Draik. Do you have a harness made up for the puppet yet? I did something similar last Halloween. I keep it in my locker at work, what better place to keep a banraku harness than at work. I'll shoot some pics over on Friday, I think thats when I work next.

This is one I ended up voting for. Certain things strike me about certain props, and I LOVE the puppet concept.

Do you have a how-to Draik?
