Make a Hanging Victim Stuffed Dummy

By , About.com Guide

A perfect prop for your haunted house. Boris explains how to make a stuffed dummy that looks like a hanging victim!

Materials Needed:

  • Two sticks (at least 2' long)
  • String
  • Old Clothes (shirt and jeans)
  • Work Gloves/Surgical Gloves
  • Newspaper
  • Black Garbage Bag

Instructions:
Tie the two sticks together to form a cross. This will be the neck and shoulders of the dummy. Then, put the shirt onto the shoulders, and fill it with newspaper.

Attach the pants to the dummy by putting string through the belt loops, and over the 'shoulders,' and fill pants with newspaper. Blow up or otherwise inflate gloves (stuff with newspaper), and tie to end of sleeves of the shirt. Then, fill the garbage bag, the hood, with newspaper, and tie onto the dummy's neck. Then, simply hang the dummy in a tree, off a porch, wherever.
