Drop Down Picture Prop

[Dr. Haunt Chamber of Fear]

Hey,

Does anyone have a diagram they could share of the design of their drop down picture prop?

Would like to design a few of these this year as during last year MHC I saw them used at some haunts really effectively and would like to give it a try.

Size of picture that gets droped, materials used to construct, etc would be helpful.

Thanks,
Kim

Hey Doc,
The loud thump is forum members passing out from me posting.

the method is really quite simple.
PM me your email addy and I will send pictures of the one I made a few years back.

I will have to make a run to Home Depot first to give you a parts list. I will do what I can to help.

Thats not mine...I just posted a link to a how-to so I cant take credit.
It was on monster list, I was looking at it for something I had in mind myself.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. The parts shown seem easy enough to build but with the right placement and actors I think we can get some big scares!

I made mine move a different direction on a bearing , pivoting from the lower right hand corner of the picture. Maybe it fights gravity a little less than straight up and down. I know I'm getting tired fighting gravity so much, everyday...
