I’m planning a small dio of highschool corridor with some hall lockers. She’s being menaced by either a 75mm - 80mm werewolf, or Alien figure. She’s 54mm so that will make whichever monster seem more terrifying. Reminiscent of 60’s monster movies.
Any comment on choice of monster? I haven’t ordered either yet.
Maybe something emerging from the locker (sand worm miniature, giant snake, evil terror from the hell mouth in the locker and a fallen, misused ancient spell book at her feet) or something perched on the locker top (daemon, giant spider on the ceiling, character from Revenge of the Nerds with a camera) I have to admit I’m partial to anything from Alien and that cheerleader figure has great horror/humour potential. It should be an enjoyable build whichever way you decide to go. I hope you have fun with it.
They are quite inexpensive compared with some other options. There’s also oversize insects (from the AMT Gigantics perhaps), Zombies, some large alien beastie from a Sci-Fi wargames range, or the small tyrannosaur from Tamiya’s Mesozoic Creatures set.
I think Biggles had a good idea but in terms of the original question such an object would have to be actually constructed & that’s not gonna happen for so many reasons…but it would bring a whole new meaning to “flash”. That aside & on the principle that less is more, maybe a small spider or mouse? Or an empty bottle of cement?
I just have visions of those Carnival games with rotating clown heads with wide open mouths, that you pop ping pong balls in, so football/basketball about to hit her in the face…
After much deliberation I decided to go with the werewolf, as the theme is a 60’s/70’s high school horror type movie. The Alien was my close second runner-up. Predators generally only target prey of value, or armed adversaries. This cheerleader/snotty meangirl is apparently of little value! (Maybe for mating purposes to produce a predator/human hybrid! May not be genetically compatible, but worth a go!)
