The word "ghoul" often conjures up images of a dead creature dressed in tattered rags shambling through and old graveyard.  We were intrigued by the notion of a well dressed ghoul stalking the late night streets of 18th century London. 

 


The ghostly bride has always been a popular theme in horror, both in fiction and non-fiction.  There have been many reported "sightings" of ghosts or spirits wearing the flowing white dress of a bride.  Here we decided to create a prop That would convey this theme.  I think it was a success!

 


We decided that our poor Deathbride needed a groom!

 


This was one of our more unique corpse props as it was given a layer of "rotted flesh" that was applied to the initial molded prop.  This was applied completely by hand.  Unfortunately, we had to discontinue this particular prop due to damage to the mold.

 


Here we wanted a zombie that was more reminiscent of the old EC Comics than the Romero-style film versions we are used to seeing.

 

This was a variation of our popular Deathbride prop using the Grave crawler.  As you can see, the results were very effective!

 


One of our most popular Halloween props.

Hangman

This was a less skeletal variation of our "Grave Crawler" This was inspired somewhat by the hanging "ghost host" in Disney's Haunted Mansion attraction. 

 

Potter's Field was a 7 minute short film created for the "Dare To Direct" held by the Chiller Channel in 2007.  The film short deals with a frightening encounter in a large cornfield where rotted corpses were strung up like scarecrows by a scarecrow-type creature.  We created the two corpses as well as the mask for the "monster."  Although it was only 7 minutes long, the props were very effective visually and we had a fun time creating them.

 

The two Potter's Field corpses shown here are only a few finishing touches away from completion.   Once their paint job is complete, hair will be added and they will then be attached to their body armatures.
