HORROR Haunted House 2016 Build Day 3 | Burning the Movie Cutouts

Day 3 of the HORROR haunted house build series follows the creator as he distresses movie-character cardboard cutouts using an open-flame technique to give them a creepy, aged look that fits the haunted Thurston Theater theme. The fictional backstory frames the haunt as an early-20th-century movie theater destroyed by fire in 1952, whose horror-film characters allegedly still roam its halls. The short build-diary format documents progress and shares a safety reminder about working with fire.

Allen Hopps of Stiltbeast Studios demonstrates how to elevate a store-bought skeleton prop by adding custom sculpted detail, specifically a brow ridge built up with Apoxie Sculpt two-part epoxy clay. The technique transforms an off-the-shelf piece into a more menacing, character-driven prop. The subject skeleton is an oversized Frankenbucky-style piece, giving the methods shown a dramatic visual payoff even at large scale.
