Here are a few pictures of my first attempt at building a animated corpse. It was made out of a plywood and chickenwire frame and was covered with expanding foam and latex. This prop was hidden under one of my mausoleum's, mounted on a 16in pneumatic stroke the arm would reach out and the jaw would open as the body slung forward. I built the body a little out of proportion to the head and the whole thing weighed a ton. A cool idea, maybe on a second attempt it will work alittle better. P.S Drawer slides don't work very well under pressure.



Heres the corpse I made in 2000 using a "bucky" as my framework.
