Caraccioli Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 So, I decided to do a POTC-inspired haunt for the Jaycee's Haunted House this year. (I've been doing at least one room a year for the last 15 years.) I don't have photos of the whole room on the web yet, but the centerpiece was a prop of Jack the Monkey. The whole thing was inspired by a conversation I had with Iron Bess asking her about getting Disney to make a life-sized, undead Jack the Monkey prop. Then it occurred to me..."You know how to do this. Make your own freakin' monkey!" So I did. You can see him here. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Patrick Hand Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Dang.... that came out cool..... ain't latex and toilet paper fun..... I pre-mix latex paint with the latex, so it will fill in all the parts, and then do washes and drybrush over the finished project.... unfortunately the only thing I have right now is the Orc head from last year.......
Capt Grey Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Gosh, I know the most interesting people! Awesome work, matey. That'll scare the bejeezus out of your customers. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Cap'n Pete Straw Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 A tremendouly ambitious project, and you did a superb job. Kudos. I lift my tankard to ye. :angry: "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do... "He's a pirate dancer, His dances are funny... 'Cuz he's only got one shoe! Ahhrrr!"
Hester Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 That putrefying primate is a work of art! Well done, Caraccioli! I've always found the name "Jack the Monkey" a tad lewd, though. [And perhaps that's what Disney intended...]. I tend to parse the first word as a verb, analogous to the expressions "spank the monkey", and "shock the monkey". Cheers, Hester
Caraccioli Posted October 7, 2006 Author Posted October 7, 2006 Well, thanks everyone for you comments. I finally finished the whole page. You can see the whole haunt (as best I could photograph it) and the other two props in there here. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"

Cpt. Alva Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Fantastic work, and great detail!
