Hey Zombie-F,

I really like the unearthed coffin you have in your graveyard. I would really like to know what you made it out of and how you made it.Picture of Coffin (http://www.unpleasantstreet.com/index.php?x=/photos/2004&y=2004-18)

It's made entirely out of wood that has been burned lightly with a small butane torch. The plans for it can be found on a site called Our Haunt (http://www.ourhaunt.com) under Projects>2003>Buried Alive. It's a relatively cheap and easy project.

For 2004, they made full-sized toe-pincher coffins out of fence pickets, so look at their 2004 projects as well.

I made one minor improvement to the coffin today. I took one of the bucky hands I got in my Bag of Bones and attached it to the coffin so it looks as though the person was buried alive and died trying to escape. Have a look:

I really like it too, very creative as with most your props. Hopefully I can eventually build one, but judging by the amount of time and frustration I spend on a regular toe-pincher, i think i might wait a while...

Lotus, you just made my day! I KNEW I saw a toepincher made from fence pickets and I couldn't find the picture of it anywhere. I lost ALL of my saved links a few months ago when my pc crashed.
I bought the fencing boards 3 weeks ago but figured I'd have to just "wing it" when it came time to build the thing. Thanks to you and Zombie I won't have to now :)

Wait a minute... have you ever lived in Massachusetts? The way you just used the word "wicked" is something we Massholes use almost exclusively. Hmmm....

I think we can trust her. She hasn't said "Wicked Pissa" yet.

I have a quick Question for Zombie-F

How do you keep the Buried Alive coffin from falling over?

I want to make one of these but I'm not sure how to anchor it to the ground?


Thanks

It is really sturdy, just placed on the ground. This year i might be drilling a few holes in the bottom part and stick rebar through it

The key is to cut off the bottom at just the right angle that it will stand up at an angle, but not tip over. It also helps to put it on a slight incline on the ground so it sort of tips the heaviest part of it back a little (not sure if that's being conveyed the way I want it to).

I think My wife & I might try to stop by the weekend of the Oct 27th -28th or th 29th.

That is if it's ok with you. I'm dying to check out the Comedy club.
