Coffin Sit Up
Home Up Sit Up Prop Using Door Closers

 

This prop started as a "make it and take it" prop from the 2005 Rocky Mountain Haunters Gathering. Thanks to Sue and Vern for creating the kits and leading the seminar.

Here is the prop getting close to being finished. I'll add a tie, legs and perhaps hands.
Here is the basis device: PVC pipe and a screen door opener. Below you see the sprinkler valve and PVC that operate the pop-up. The light bulb will be replaced with a flood light that will shine on the zombie when he sits up. I drilled holes in the wooden coffin and used tie wraps to hold the PVC in place. (see photo on right)

The sprinkler valve manifold controls the air flow .Click below manifold details

After a number of finishing touches this prop will be done!
