What this video covers
This short build episode from the HORROR 2016 haunted house series shows how to create a glowing mummy or zombie severed head using inexpensive craft-store supplies. The creator wraps a styrofoam head in bloody gauze, adds pre-owned decorative eyes, and inserts a small candle-style light before finishing with black spray paint for a grungy, aged look. The result is a spooky, atmospheric prop that fits the series' fictional Thurston Theater haunt theme. At under three minutes, it's a quick, accessible project even for first-time builders.
Key takeaways
- ◆Entire prop is built from easy-to-find craft store staples — styrofoam head, gauze, and hot glue
- ◆A small candle-style light inserted inside makes the eyes glow for dramatic effect
- ◆Black spray paint ties all the materials together and adds a weathered, decayed finish
- ◆Low cost and minimal tools make this ideal for beginner haunters looking to populate a scene quickly
- ◆Part of a larger 2016 home haunt build series set inside a fictional haunted theater
