How to build a Karloff life size Mummy prop! Made by one weird guy at Spooky Pinball

Summary

Charlie Emery tutorials life-size Karloff mummy prop build using foam, blowtorch, paint, and muslin.

Charlie Emery from Spooky Pinball walks through his process of building a life-size Boris Karloff-inspired mummy prop for display, covering materials (foam sheets, mannequin, sculpted head/hands from Muckle Bones), techniques (foam distressing, blowtorch texturing, acrylic painting, fabric dyeing), and assembly. The project was undertaken as a DIY alternative to commissioning a professional prop due to COVID shipping constraints, and required approximately 30 hours of work across construction, detailing, and wrapping with muslin bandages.
