Innsmouth Fish-er-Man Halloween Prop Village Mire #lovecraft #innsmouth #deepones #haunt

This short showcase video reveals the construction of a second Lovecraft-inspired Deep One character for the creator's Village Mire 2024 yard haunt. The full-body prop is built on a Spiderhill Props double spine armature, fleshed out with pool noodles and foam, then detailed with an airbrushed Stiltbeast Studios mask, perma blood, and faux seaweed. Off-the-shelf rain gear and a scratch-built PVC harpoon complete the fisherman character. The result is a convincing, highly themed creature prop achievable with readily available materials.
