Quick and Dirty Corpses
Having experienced the tedium of creating a corpse with liquid latex and cotton fiber first hand I found this tutorial extremely helpful. It uses a cheap plastic skeleton, plastic dropcloths, and a heat gun to produce a surprisingly realistic final product. The one in the tutorial took about an hour and looks pretty good, particularly when compared to the latex treatments that take days to finish.

Bless you Prop, this is why I love this blog. Where else would you find a link to this sort of information?
@ Phil
You're too kind. You never know when a rotting corpse might come in handy.
Somewhere out there is a young propmaster looking at his budget for the indie horror film he's doing and freaking out. Then he's going to find this video and smile.
Screw the corpse....affordable Chinese skeletons that look GREAT ! Uh.....that statement wasn't too well thought out...
This is very cool! <3 Thank you
I've been planning a LARP event for a while that has a sarcophagus and mummy. The mummy has been holding me back.... until now.
Things like this (and other projects) are what keep me reading daily.
Amazing. Simply Amazing.
Thank you for posting this nice tutorial! I am full of ideas again. (not that they were ever lacking) Elas skeletons are quite expensive in Europe. You can practically only get medical ones.
I come here every day!
wow. so much easier and looks great! thanks so much for sharing this.
this is amazing. you are amazing. i don't even watch horror movies (because i'm a total baby and won't sleep for weeks after) and i've definitely never even considered "corpsing" as something that exists but i loved watching your video. thank you and keep up the good work. (amen for doing what you do on the cheap too.) brilliant.
Im glad you guys like the tutorialI post a new how to video (always haunted house themed) every wednesday.
very cool tut - thanks!
and yes, an eye tut would be useful.
I really love what you've achieved here with a little bit of time and some pretty cheep material. Very impressed and LOVE the corpse!!!! I'm excited to get started on one for our home!
I'm sure that this would work well over less humanoid sculpted bones, too...
lovely bro! nice post and video
I actually used this technique about a week after finding the video in some of the haunted house/home haunt blogs I read, and it is as easy as it looks and the results are great.
I'm thoroughly impressed with your technique. Simple... cheap... and totally sells the look.
Just found your blog and love it!
I'll be linking to you through HalloweenAddict.com.
Keep up the great work!
Amazing. I always test the heat gun, too.
Hey thanks for sharing us this technique. I use it to do my halloween pumpkin for my wood furniture finishing course. And because I left picture on my blog (http://cartoncotoncaroline.blogspot.com/2011/11/initiations-aux-props-en-finitions-de.html) I would like to tell you that I put your site in credit with hyperlinks, as you deserve ^^ thx again!!
Great cheap ways to create HORROR!!!
I found a super cheap skeleton at Lowe’s yesterday. I think I’m going to give this a shot. Nice work. :)
