Halloween T-shirts at Walmart

Impressive Walmart! The zombie one glows in the dark and they're only $5.50!

It's corpsin' time!

I'm working on a half-corpse to possibly carry in the upcoming Dragon*Con parade on Labor Day weekend. She'll "interact" with the crowd and others throughout the day.

Making Zombie Arms

Tonight I'm making prop zombie arms out of bended pvc pipes to go with the zombie hands I made last year.


Two 9" pieces of pvc pipe.



Curved slightly by heating them up with a heat gun.



Holes drilled into the ends.



Fastened with zip ties.



Zip tie ends stuck into the open end of the pvc pipe and everything taped down with duct tape.

Next I'll coat the arms with construction adhesive (like liquid nails), stain them and give them a little touch up paint.

Zombie Heads and Hands

...anxiously await staining.

Styrofoam Zombie Heads: Teeth

Today I added teeth and gums to my Styrofoam zombie heads. Next step? ROTTING FLESH!!!

Makin' Styrofoam Zombie Heads

This past weekend I've been carving zombie heads from Styrofoam wig heads using a Dremel tool. It take about 30 minutes...and keep the Shop-Vac on the entire time unless you want your work area to look like the blizzard of 2010! I bought the wig heads for $9.99 each at Hobby Lobby.



Next to glue on the teeth!

I learned this technique from the EXCELLENT "Make Your Own Scratch Built Corpse" DVD available for only $15.00 at monstercloset.com GET IT!

Corpse head

Here's the head to one of many corpses I'll be bulding over the next couple weeks. Made from a styrofoam wig head, construction adhesive, hot glue for fabrics and paint.
