Dagon Disciples Fish Frog Creatures Halloween Haunt Prop #lovecraft #dagon #deepones #innsmouth

This short showcase features a set of handcrafted Lovecraftian Deep One / Dagon Disciple figures built for a yard or home haunt. The creator sculpted, molded, and cast the heads from scratch, then assembled full figures using PVC pipe armatures, wire hands and feet, and felt robes finished with fabric tape. The result is a cohesive group of fish-frog cult creatures straight out of Innsmouth. Despite the brief runtime, the video reveals a capable multi-step prop-building workflow.
