The ToTs will be blown away by your crypt this year Deathouch! A very nice bump from the previous year.

The bad thing is you'll have to top yourself in 2006. You won't be able to keep yourself from doing it "bigger and better" the next year. But hey, that's the fun of building this stuff!

Ok,first off, I want to commend you, Skullandbone for your website..It is beautifully designed and your props are AMAZING!

I just had to write this post to tell you all, GO TO HIS SITE!..check out the prop section on corpsing a bucky, and look at the Picture of the Bucky with the Panty hose first put on..I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at this one!!

Bolt that pelvis, Skullandbone! HAHA...

and thanks for the entertainment...

Bob

I'll second that!

Great looking site and wonderful looking props. Excellent yard lighting tutorial as well. Thanks for sharing all that great work Skullandbone!

... I did manage to sculpt a "Vilethings" marionette for last year (I fly it over my yard on a length of 50lb test fishing line - almost invisible during the day, absolutely invisible at night)...used fiberglass instead of latex for the outer skin, and it survived almost a month of exposure with absolutely no ill effects...

Very cool. Eric's props on Vilethings have inspired many of us. It's amazing how many people have one of his simple pop-ups or copies of one of his other props. That's a good marionette Ugly Joe.

umm, I think we all make out own props....its like the only way to get it done right

i hate store bought props...usually. some of them are really cool, but thats not very often

So true Beepem. However, I do like a nice latex mask or a prop from a good sculp. One day I'll try to learn to work with clay and make a mask.

ScareFX,
I took a look at your site and you're a fan of Death Studios, aren't you? I know I sure am. Your yard is kickin'!! :smoking:

Guilty as charged Empress! Jeff Death makes some very fine masks.

The reason I get 300+ T.O.T's a year is because I build my own things. NOTHING like all of you have though! I am in awe of all your creativity. I have to admit though I have stolen ideas from all of you. This year, I too discovered Pumpkin Rot and VileThings sites. So I am creeping things up in my cemetary with my own scarecrow and grave ghoulsand a skel FCG marrinette. I agree with the majority here that the props available for purchase pale in comparison with those that we build ourselves. Right now it is crunch time and I have to finish my skell marionette and the groundbreakers I have started before trying to build a pop up. The wife gets upset if I flit from project to project....LOL imagine that! Keep posting all your good ideas.

Welcome to the forum spokanejoe. You should introduce yourself in the Welcome Room. Post some pics of your props too. Prop building is BIG FUN!
