So as many of you know, this will be my last haunt for the next four years... which of course means that I'm going to make it absolutely incredible. For the next few months I'll be posting pictures of progress on the haunt starting out with the simple smaller props to the bigger, and better effects. So here it is... and just remember

When the sun is setting...
and night is falling...
come to...
DARKNESS RISING

Here are some progress pics on a new corpse I'm working on made from a blucky. The 4th and 5th ribs from the bottom were taken out and the entire chest was extended... also the pelvis was moved down about 14 inches. Great stuff foam and some cobwebs were used to corpse it....

Some more pics....

Some old props needed a makeover...

More to come...

Old props

Did you make the old props to start with and did you seperate the head from the shoulders or was it made that way?

 

[skeletonowl]

holy crap someone was locked in a crypt with a bag of potato chips and skeletons as friends. LOL
Last year for 4 years? sigh i'll be facing that too in a couple years

nope I bought them... but props online NEVER look as good in person so I decided to add some more gore. and yes it was made that way.

Yeah but too bad thats ALL I've done so far... I seriously need to get started on some bigger effects now. Two months is the deadline before we start putting up the haunt...

and yeah it really sucks... we were just starting to get a good reputation too. But thats why I am going to make this haunt absolutely amazing... I'm not going down without a fight lol.

 

[Spartan005]

Well I finished the new corpse and considering it was made from a blucky... it came out pretty good IMO.

It originally came from this...

It still needs some more paint in a couple of spots but you get the idea.

Kitty Cat!

 

[MacabreManor]

You made that blucky look better than his own manufacturer could. Nice job. What you do to make the rib cage so defined?

 

[mikeq91]

Going all-out? I like the sounds of that! keep up the good work

 

[Sickie Ickie]

AHHHHH!!!!! KITTY CAT!!!!!!

LOL Actually, that is the BEST blucky corpse job I have ever seen! I have been deadset against buying bluckies, but after seeing your work.....

 

[Hauntiholik]

Since these pictures are going to be of your props as you make them I'm going to move this thread to the prop section.

 

[Spartan005]

Thanks for the comments guys....

Macabremanor, to make the blucky cut out rib #4 and 5 from the bottom, along with the neck and the plastic underneath the chest. I just took some cardboard strips and duck tape and used that to extend the chest... it sounds cheap but the styrofoam and paint holds it together. And to connect everything together I used a black plastic tube that was used for our sprinkler system... I guess pvc would be fine except that it would be completely straight (the tube I used was coiled up so it came out nicely)
This actually wasn't entirely my idea... I googled "blucky" and found a page somewhere on how to do this.

Stay tuned for more...

 

[Spartan005]

Ok now for an update on Mr. Head and Mr. Stump...

Definetely glad I gorified these guys

 

[Spartan005]

Alright enough with all the blood and gore... its time to corpse my first Bucky.

Last haunt for 4 years....are you running for president?
I missed what happened.
Oh wait....going into the service????
Just wandered.
The props are grousome! I love them. You know, you could rent them out when you're done until you're back in the swing of things....I might know a person or two here that would take really good care of them!
