I created a few props over a couple of years that people referenced as something from Stranger Things. Hence the generic term as Demi-Beasts.
Two of the three I started from scratch. Just going by what was in my head. The ‘Stalker’ beast was a prop of a skeleton dog that I bought then painted and built into something else.
Blight
This one was made with metal pipe for the frame and chicken-wire to flesh it out. I then applied various pieces of fabric over that with various spare parts. Finally, I shoved lights inside it and added accessories.
Stalker
I bought the skeleton dog from a Halloween store after the season, making it cheaper.
I painted it and ran my fake vines around it. My goal was to make it a bit more organic.
It growled when you walked by and scared many dogs in the neighborhood.
Rotter
This actually started off as a prop for Christmas. It was Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Just like Zero, I made it so the ‘tail’ wagged back and forth. But I didn’t like the way it turned out so I stripped off the material and started anew.
This ended up looking more like a worm with a mouth full of spiked teeth.
Ended up pretty well in the yard. It would start moving and growl at those who walked in front.
