The Legend Of The Packing Tape Ghost

Man, these always look great.  Here's to the Ghost-Hangers out there who put these things up.  Whether it be plastic or fabric or some kind of old garment with a skull head, or no head, it's the best decoration to see on a windy day in the Fall.  But especially at night.

Rot your not reading my mind are you? I just created a post last night on a haunt forum asking about packing tape ghosts. I came up with this insane idea to make one out of a poseable skeleton, fill it with fog from a fog machine and light it from behind so that it appears as if a ghostly skeleton forms from thin air and then disappears. I've made some crazy stuff over the years but not sure if this is possible, but I got to try.

haha. I assure you I am not ; )

That sounds like an amazing idea. If that fails, just make some classic white sheet ghosts with skeletons underneath...when the light flashes, you see there are skeletons underneath. People would go ape.

I made some 'tortured souls" a few years back that were loosely based off your 2007 Dead Ghost props. If you don't mind me sharing - photos are on my Pinterest account (https://www.pinterest.com/shallow_grave/prop-tombstone-transformation/). I kept trying to get fog to come up from underneath them so they would look like they were materializing from the ground but the cheesecloth wraps weren't dense enough to trap the fog. Dam fog, never does what you want it to.
