Beyond the Grave

October 26th, 2008 by John Wolfe

While performing online searches for life-size zombies, this morning, I stumbled on Beyond the Grave Productions. Full-size props are something I’ve wanted to incorporate into my haunt ever since building my corpse scarecrow last year. Although there are many great full-size corpses online that are made from latex foam or monster mud; I’m looking to build mine primarily from mache, while utilizing minimal coverage from clothing. In case you can’t tell, my mind is already mapping out Halloween ’09. ;)

Anyway, back to Beyond the Grave – BTG is owned and operated by Brian Lashchuk and features many awesome, handcrafted, life-size corpses! Brian not only showcases these props in his personal yard haunt, and at haunt conventions, but also sells them in his online shop. I especially like the “scarecrowish” looking prop in this image! Brian also appears to use a lot of cornstalks in his haunt. Speaking of cornstalks – I’m headed back outside to continue attaching mine to the display fence.
