Halloween prop 2016 - a clock

It did take me long to forget the snowman debacle and start to make big plans again.  I recently acquired a clock from my sister that belong to my mother.  Over the years, it's guts have been lost and various bits have been broken and now it is just a shell of its former self.   It will make an awesome prop. 

Of course, I have to begin with inspiration because copying someone else's stuff is always easier that inventing my own.

So lets peruse some spooky clocks.



I love the skeletal hand coming out of the crack and this pendulum
 

 
Sorry that I had trouble tracing these back to an original source.  If you see your work just shout it out and take credit.

  1. Cobwebs, dripping blood and a skeletal arm as a pendulum would enhance any grandfather clock. Or should we today say "grandparent" clock?

  2. You are correct - I have a grandmother clock which is slightly smaller than a grandfather clock. Currently looking at embellishments.

  4. Something so primitive about grandfather clocks. They just beckon to be used in a haunting manner. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

  6. I love the idea making a prop from a real Grandfather clock. Of course, it has to number up to "13".
