If you have money, and the ability to make any prop. So what kind of prop would you build? For me, I would love to build mausoleum for my own yard haunt display.

... a full scale and fully functioning PROP guillotine. *drool *

Of course, it'd be the kind you could use to make it appear as though a head would be chopped off-- not the kind that actually lops the head off. It would also be rigged up to some sort of water cannon, which would spray my audience as the blade dropped and the prop head came rolling out.

I've actually been keeping an eye out for some plans for such a prop for about +10 years.

Maybe check theatrical supply companies?

There are so many things I would love to be able to build or buy, but I would REALLY love it if I had this prop and could make actually crawl and scale the sides of my house and roof.

I probably wouldn't get any TOTer though

I would like to build another casket....

What would you put in the casket?

well, cushioning, nice interior, working lids, and so on....this is one I built several years ago, but this time I want to do a casket instead of a coffin....

Oh wow!! That is really impressive! So do you leave them empty or do you put some kind of monster in there?

Ooo those are good ones Witchy. Wouldn't it be cool if you could have a witch prop that could fly?

Okay Spooky, you get the gold star of the day for that picture

thanks, yeah it was very sturdy and very comfortable to sleep in, I used it as a center piece at my parties.

It costs me about $300 in materials and took about 3 weeks to build in off time. If you go to my site, there is a How To on building it that was featured in Haunted Attraction Magazine, someday I hope to build a casket in the same (or better) quality. This one was solid wood and very detailed with real coffin handles.
