Hi Everyone,
This is my first prop post here on Haunt Forum. First of all let me say I have had a great time pouring over the pages here looking at all these great props and learning all these cool tips and techniques. Thanks to those who came before me and cheers to all you die hard Halloween lovers.
This is my monkey prop I built for this years Haunted Tiki Island themed yard haunt we are doing this year at my in-laws. You'll see more of this stuff from me soon and often, so get used to it!

He is made of a wire frame covered with paper mache made of paper towels and Elmer's glue, which is coated with Celluclay. His wire fingers are covered with hot melt glue, which turned out good in that it looks like a decrepit monkey hand. His rib cage, shoulder blades, and pelvis are made of cardboard covered with Celluclay. A good deal of his skin is from single ply toilet paper, water, and Elmer's glue. It gives a great texture and is really easy to manipulate and layer.

I made him with LED eyes that run of a 12v battery, and have a cluster of super bright LEDs in his chest, which is hooked up to a Paper Magic Group Lighting FX box, which is basically a color organ circuit (I believe). The sound circuit is hooked up to a cd player with monkey howls on it, so when you hear the screams his chest lights up. He will be perched overhead on a gateway arch where you can see him howling and peering down at you.
Hope you like it!
