Holy wow, you guys. Would you ever guess that this grandfather clock is made from cardboard and glued-on props from the Dollar Store?<\/p>\nHoly wow, you guys. Would you ever guess that this grandfather clock is made from cardboard and glued-on props from the Dollar Store?<\/p>\n
theundeadofnight shared this project on Halloween Forum<\/a>, along with a few photos of the build. There are more detailed instructions on his website<\/a>, but it’s all done in Flash so I can’t link directly. It’s an almost startlingly easy build: The clock case is made from cardboard boxes, the skulls and bat are cut from a styrofoam tombstone, and the clock face is just a cheap plastic wall clock (attached with velcro so the batteries can be changed).<\/p>\n This would be a great prop for a Halloween party, either simply for decoration or to block the entrance to an off-limits part of the house. If you used a cheap single-door cabinet for the tall part of the case (which probably has an official name but I don’t know it; let’s go with Pendulum Containment Unit), you could use the interior space: Stick a bucket with dry ice inside so ominous fog emerges from the cracks, or put in a motion sensor<\/a> that screams at anyone nosy enough to open the door. You could even keep it up year-’round and use it for storage.<\/p>\n It’s a great-looking prop that doesn’t require a lot of specialized skills to build, so it’s perfect for the amateur home haunter.<\/p>\n Holy wow, you guys.
