Awesome halloween corpse for less than 3 bucks

I love Halloween , almost as much as Christmas !  So I love decorating and making my house look really scary.  I have so many ideas of what i want , but most of the time, they are way out of my price range or i just wouldn't pay for something i thought i could make. 

Instructables has SO many Great ideas, i hope i can add to that. 

also i went to a Halooween store aroudn where i live, and Oh My ! , the store looked liek a haunted house.  

this corpse i made was inspired by the store, and very easy to make. Took me about an hour to gather materials and put it together . 


Lets get started ! 

Step 1: Gather supplies

All you'll need for this is :

Newspaper / flyers 

String / twine

and Garbage Bags

( well and scissors to cut the twine of course)

* duck tape is optional, for larger bodies


P.S.     ill apologize now for the poor image quality , im using the cam on my mac to take pics, yea im lazy lol )

thanks for this looks great outside the entrance to our pub, i used all the dead leaves from the beer garden so it was win win for me got in the wifes good books lol

I made three of them and littered the front lawn and driveway with them and a few signs ("Bodies Buried, $5.00", "Pick up Extra","Two shovels, no waiting") and they looked great.

I found it easier to stuff an old pair of pants and stuff an old shirt and safety pin them together, it was much easier to shape them and the sizes were right. All you have to do is stuff a bag for the head and roll up some paper to become the feet.

If I repeat it next year, I'll add a body or two throughout the week, maybe a sign that says, "Just Dump and Go".

It's a great idea and I owe you for sharing it. Thanks loads, eh.

cool idea !! we made "body bags" last year, they looked real but they arent really scarey even with half a corpse hanging out. This could be a great replacement. Thank you for sharing!

it would be awesome if you posted some pics of them body bags

[l8nite]

I have one poorly lit pic showing the finished bags on one of my how to haunt "ibles" they are just weed barrier material sewn into a bag shape and slit open on the top like a coroners body bag. Take approximately 12' of weed barrier, fold it in half lenghtwise and sew the 3 sides together, slit one 6' side ending about 4" from each end, insert body of choice

Do you use a normal bin bag or a wheely bin bag?

[blackghost]

Depends on what size corpse you want to make. for the larger one , i had to use two full sized garbage bags

This is great! Last year we put up crime scene tape and a chalk body outline with pools of blood in front of the porch. I think this would be great on the deck this year. With of course loads of blood all over the door and ground. I like being the house kids are not sure if they want to ring the bell or not.

You could stuff an old pair of trousers, socks and a long sleeve shirt to help get the right shape

Omg... that's some scary stuff, looks so real.
That would scare the crap out of me if I saw that somewhere, haha.

Great job on the instructable!
