ScareFactory’s Angel of Death
August 29th, 2009 by John Wolfe
The Angel of Death has got to be one of the coolest Halloween props I’ve ever come across! In fact, it’s become the inspiration for my graveyard’s overseer, albeit a year in advance. Currently, I’m working on a couple of groundbreaker corpses and won’t have the time to begin a prop like this until after Halloween ’09. While ScareFactory’s flying reaper is animated, I’ll be sticking to creating a static version. I haven’t built an oversized prop since my scarecrow corpse in 2007, so it’s about time to get my behind in gear and make a new one for the haunt.

That was super inspiring. I made a tattered robe and hood for a giant scarecrow, but no matter what face I put on it, it looks too happy. I like this idea. Maybe I should just transition it to the reaper. I have a mask I can use as a basis for some paper maiche and maybe make a skeletal-looking face to hide inside the hood and a scythe…sounds good.

Yeah, I hear that. Sometimes my mache technique contributes to a much too happy looking face. Needless to say, those layers get removed.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
