This is a tutorial on how to make a standing zombie prop. This is a rough guide to how I made mine

You will need:

Fun World brand Groundbreaker

Wood: '1x2' the length of the zombies pants plus about 5 inches. A square piece of wood, about 15"x15". 2 pieces of "1x2" to form supports for the bottom.

Pants and a shirt.

Paint and fake blood to add some more detail

One USPS flat rate box, the flatter large rectangle about 3 inches thick, or scrap cardboard.

What I did was cut one end of the long piece of 1x2 at a sharp point. Then I attached this piece to the square piece of wood and supported it with the two small pieces cut at angles to firmly support the upright piece. Now I took the pants and slid one leg over the upright piece of wood. To add a little more body to the groundbreaker I took the box and put it around the torso of the prop and nailed it into the styrofoam. Next I took the grounbreaker, box and all and stabbed it onto the upright piece of wood. Be careful! I then attached the pants around the box at the right height with duct tape and put the shirt on the prop. Now you can add more details, rip the shirt to show the ribs, add blood, get creative.

Here is a picture of mine

Enjoy and have fun building!

That is just the coolest thing!!  I love it!!  Can I beg you to share that on my website?? :)

Yeah, it looks like it would take a lot of time

I actually made the whole setup in an afternoon. Took a couple hours. The BBQ is just an old rusted weber grill. It has the rack to keep the charcoals level and away from the bottom, I put slightly crumpled tinfoil sheets in the bottom with an orange bulb, one of the small, nonflicker flame shaped ones. It reflected on the tinfoil shined through the spaces in between the coals. Looked great!

I too metal skewers and rubber chopped off fingers and made shishkabobs. If you wanted to get fancy, you can put grill marks on the foot and kabobs.

That's a lot of work for one afternoon. I likely would have needed more than a day :-)

But hey, you did a good job!

yes good work

props can take a while to build but it depends on what your building
