This
project proves once again that boring,
mundane (read cheap) materials can be
turned into nightmarish creations. The
active ingredient is your imagination.
Of course all the hours you spent detailing
your pet monster will probably be overlooked
and taken for granted. Oh well.
You'll scare the crap out of a bunch of
people in October so that should make you
feel better.
Some
folks questioned why I used plain old
plaster of Paris instead of a product such
as UltraCal
30 to create the mold. In short,
because a box of common plaster costs around
$3.00 and this is just a Halloween
prop. Spooky's recurring theme is
essentially "do it yourself with the
cheapest materials that will get the job
done". Now, this doesn't
necessarily apply to, say, a crank ghost
motor. You can use an electric
rotisserie motor to crank your FCG, (I have)
but sometimes it pays to spend the cash and
buy quality (I did). However, if you
can fake it and still end up with a
convincing effect, then fake it.
