The color of the paint can vary - black gives a nice gray base color for statues and tombstones.<br /><br />Lots of good info about Monster Mud here: http://terrorsyndicate.com/tsp_mm.htmlscreaminscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285597919883421162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14250813.post-81596941099216211652009-10-09T16:01:41.639-07:002009-10-09T16:01:41.639-07:00Looks amazing.

They are temporary but look great. I'd like to try that one day.Dave Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697644776554772725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14250813.post-29871549780431428742009-10-09T08:49:34.799-07:002009-10-09T08:49:34.799-07:00WOW!

Instead of paint, folks dip fabric (usually burlap or something large and cheap) into a slurry of something that resembles gray plaster or cement. I'm not exactly sure what's used. The wet fabric is draped and "sculpted" over a temporary wireform into the shape of a reaper. When dry, the wireform is removed, and the prop stands on its own. It's rock-hard and weather-proof. The finished item looks like a shroud-clad ghost or reaper, but upon closer inspection, the form is empty as if the specter is invisible to mortal eyes.
