Last Looks Before Halloween

We worked on the final costuming for the mannequins and props and did some lighting tests since it's only one week until Halloween. Only major thing left to do really is carve the pumpkins next week.

    Love the idea of life sized props. Just started toying around with doing this also. Do you actually use mannequins or do you build a frame yourself.

    Sorry for being a late arrival to your blog, but really enjoying what I see.

      Some of the life size props are PVC pipe frames and special "spider joint" fittings on wooden bases (see https://www.spiderhillpropworks.com). To give the upper torso some presence/body we put softball chest protectors over the head and shoulders. The red eye ghost prop is a 2012 zombie prop from Spirit Halloween that we retrofitted with a PVC pipe leg stand with wooden base this year after the metal base broke off after last Halloween. We dress that prop as a different character each year.
