    Best prop you've seen/made?

     I remember seeing someone make a bloody cool exhibit where you would put your hands in the boxes.

     i used to work for a haunted house company and we used to put a grave digger out front with a shovel to walk around. You never think a shovel can be that scary until someone is scrapping it against the ground chasing you

    Online I saw pictures of a Life-Sized Jabba the Hutt that someone made for a parade.  It was amazing!  It's not scary, but it's VERY cool!

    We have some great Star Wars costumes on BuyCostumes.com too.

    Can you tell I'm a Star Wars fan? :)

     I think the blowup snow globes in people's yards with bats or ghosts flying around are really cool.

     I purchased a Life-Size John Doe horror prop a couple of years ago.  He was pretty expensive, but worth every penny.  He's made of latex, about 6-Feet Tall and his entire chest cavity is ripped open as if someone is doing an autopsy on him.  He is even anatomically equipped!  We had a Insane Bloody Hospital Theme that year for our Halloween Party, so this guy was part of our buffet.  We filled his chest up with food and made the entire buffet look like a hospital morgue!  Our guests got a kick out of reaching inside this guy's bloody chest.  This year we are having a Crime Scene Theme, so John Doe will be back, but not on the buffet.

    Check out the link below to see a picture of the John Doe prop.  Unfortunately the site link has already discontinued this guy.  I actually bought mine on Ebay a little over a year ago and paid much less.

    Re: Best prop you've seen/made?

    I made a pretty nifty Pinhead (from Hellraiser) prop. I bought a full size mannequin, used the Hellraiser Pinhead Deluxe costume sold here and set it up that way. In the left hand is a replica puzzle box, in the right hand I used the "Dead Man's Head with Chain On Eyelids" (and attached some spider webs). Then I bought some chains from Farm & Fleet and hung them above Pinhead with some plain old hook screws.

    Click on my profile and you should be able to see the Pinhead and head with webs as described. :)
