Well, let me tell ya, talkin’ about these horror movie props is somethin’ else. You know, those things they use in them scary movies? Scared the bejesus outta me more times than I can count, I tell ya.
I saw this one movie, can’t remember the name now, old age is catchin’ up, ya know. But it had this creepy doll, looked all innocent and sweet, but its eyes, oh them eyes, they followed ya everywhere. Made my skin crawl, it did. Guess that was a horror movie prop, right? They say some folks collect these things. Can you imagine? Havin’ that creepy doll starin’ at ya all day long. Not for me, no sirree.
Then there’s them knives, big ol’ butcher knives, shiny and sharp. And them fake chainsaws, the noise they make! Makes your heart jump right outta your chest. They sure do a good job makin’ them things look real scary. I reckon that’s the whole point, ain’t it? To scare the pants off ya. And them horror movie props, they sure do the trick.
- Fake Blood: Lord, have mercy, the amount of fake blood they use in these movies. Makes ya queasy just thinkin’ about it. But it looks real, doesn’t it? That’s the scary part.
- Masks: Them masks, oh my. Some of ’em are downright ugly, makes ya wanna run and hide. But some are kinda cool, in a creepy kinda way, ya know?
- Creepy Crawlies: Spiders, snakes, rats… they use all sorts of critters to make ya squirm. I hate spiders, biggest fear I have. Seeing them big fake ones on the screen, gives me the shivers, I tell ya.
I heard tell some folks make a livin’ just makin’ these horror movie props. Imagine that! Spendin’ your days makin’ fake blood and creepy dolls. Takes all kinds, I guess. But they must be good at it, cause them movies sure do look real, even when ya know it’s all fake.
And the prices! I heard some of these props, the real fancy ones, can cost a pretty penny. Folks payin’ good money for a fake knife or a mask. I tell ya, the world is a strange place. But I guess if you’re into that sort of thing, more power to ya.
I saw on the TV, some fella in New York was sellin’ these props at a discount. “Massive markdowns” they called it. Must have had a whole warehouse full of them scary things. I bet folks lined up for blocks to get their hands on ’em. Horror movie props from America, huh? They go all out over there, I reckon.
There are companies that just make these horror movie props all the time. They make ’em custom too. Like, if you wanted a special kinda bloody axe, they’d make it for ya. Imagine that! A custom bloody axe. Sounds like somethin’ outta a nightmare, doesn’t it? But some folks like that stuff, ya know? They have stands to show them, special boxes and all, they call them display cases or just cases. Folks also collect this stuff, like I say, some collect dolls, some like weapons from horror movies, I am glad my children don’t like this bloody stuff.
And then there’s the folks who work on the movies, the “property masters” they call ’em. They’re the ones in charge of all them props, makin’ sure they’re in the right place at the right time. Gotta be a tough job, I reckon. Keepin’ track of all them knives and fake body parts. And they gotta make sure everything looks just right, ya know? Cause if it don’t look real, it ain’t gonna scare nobody.
Some countries ban horror films, you know? Too scary, too bloody, they say. Can’t blame ’em, some of them movies are pretty darn gruesome. But that’s what makes ’em horror movies, I guess. And them props, they’re a big part of it. They help tell the story, make it all the more believable. Even if it’s just a bunch of fake blood and rubber masks.
So next time you watch a horror movie, take a look at them props. Really look at ’em. Notice the detail, the way they look real, even though you know they ain’t. It’s pretty amazing what they can do these days. Scare the livin’ daylights outta ya, that’s what they can do.
And if you see a creepy doll with starin’ eyes, run the other way, I tell ya. Don’t wanna end up in a horror movie yourself, now do ya? Best to leave them horror movie props to the folks who know what to do with ’em. And that ain’t me, that’s for sure.
Anyways, that’s all I gotta say about them horror movie props. Scary stuff, they are. But I guess somebody’s gotta make ’em. Just glad it ain’t me.
