HORROR Haunted House 2016 Build Day 9 | Custom Light-Up Mummy Corpse Head

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.
