Scary Crawling Monster Prop

Something is dragging itself across the porch

You set it at the edge of the doorway, flick the switch, and the torso starts to haul itself forward on its arms, head lolling, the tattered green shroud scraping the ground behind it. In the half light of a Halloween party it reads exactly like something that should not be moving, and the first guest to spot it always jumps.

It is a half body prop, arms and a head rising from a ragged cloth shroud, driven by a small motor that pulls it along in a slow crawling motion. Two faces are offered: a smooth bald pale head, and a long haired ghoul with a screaming bloodied face. It runs on three AA batteries, hidden in the body, so there is no cord trailing across the floor.

Why It Works

A static prop gets one glance; a moving one keeps pulling the eye back. The crawling motion is slow and uneven, which is what makes it convincing, and the ragged shroud hides the mechanism so all you see is the drag. Set low on the floor near a doorway it works best, catching people as they step past.

Quick Product Facts: half body crawling prop; motorised forward crawl; plastic head with fabric shroud; three AA batteries needed, not included; expanded size about 115 by 30 by 25 cm; folded box 42 by 23 by 30 cm; weight about 800 g; choice of bald head or long haired ghoul.

How It Fits Your Routine

For a party, position it just inside the door or at the foot of the stairs where guests turn a corner into it. In a yard display, set it half out of a bush or crawling from behind a gravestone.

When the season is over, switch it off, take the batteries out, and fold the shroud back into the box. Stored dry it comes out ready for next year.
