What this video covers
StiltbeastStudios' Allen Hopps demonstrates how to build creepy gingerbread man props for a scary Christmas haunt setting using a simple sandwiching fabrication technique. The method is versatile enough to be adapted for other prop types, including posable hands and creature features. Hopps notes that a whole squad of these menacing holiday figures creates a strong visual impact on the haunt floor. The build is presented as approachable and fun, with room for personal decorating touches.
Key takeaways

- ◆Building multiples en masse is encouraged for maximum scary-Christmas effect
- ◆Decorating the finished props is a collaborative, fun part of the process
