I can't figure it out! aaaack!
I ran searches on the site to try and find the answer to the clues... EPIC FAIL!

Can't wait to learn what it is.

Is it Marion Crane's suitcase? or a wig wearing skeleton in an old woman's dress?

these are my research pics.... my version has some issues do to the fact.... :wtf: its my first corpse...i am about 85 to 90% happy on how it turned out BUT version 2 will have all the upgrades to get it more accerate....so lets just say this was a trial run, a practice shot...

the 1 finished pic it R rated, so i need to find a close to movie nightgound and shawl... then i will post a family picture.... if you like what you see i can do the WIP pics on version 1 and when i start vs 2 i will just go ahead with the wip....

Looking....creepy - but that's a compliment in this case. Honestly I couldn't live with that int he house...even though it's fake. I totally appreciate the obscurity of the prop though! I wouldn't mind getting a raven from "The Birds" . I love that film too.

Your critique is pretty stickt so I have nothing to add at the momment.

Good work!

I was reading the subject title, and what came to me as I was reading was "A Boy, and His Dog", but then the late 70's is when that was made. Off big time, but the build looks awesome.

WOW gremlin!
...I don't know about a corpse in my living room, but under the PILES and PILES of clutter in my basement - there may be 2 or 3!? :shock: :roll:

Your list is quite complete and I can tell you have plans to get to be more 1:1 to the screen used Mrs. Bates. But I have to agree with the others that you did a great job and for the prop you created with the budget and low cost alternatives you used - you did an AMAZING job!! Just like the films a few cheap found objects and a little elbow grease and COOL MOVIE MAGIC. Excellent work!

You should get in touch with some local haunted houses (if you have not already in the past) and create some cool props/items with them. I'm sure your skills would create things that would scare the hee-bee-gee-bees outta everyone! :shock:
