You can use the motors but I'd also have to say at least one of the deer frames will need to be incorporated into the prop as well.
Does incorporate the deer frame mean as in the shape it currently is in (deer shape) or can the metal be all cut apart, bent and re-welded into a whole new shape/design?

You may absolutely cut and re-work the frame.

I think the point is to make something that is Halloween at heart but slightly Christmas at the same time. Wouldn't make much sense to create a hell hound by reworking the frame and not have it be Christmas like at all. Then it is just another prop build with 3 freebies.

Come on people, stop trying to bend the rules and make a cross between Christmas and Halloween.

That is all

mmmm, I don't think we have much in the way of Christmas decorations that I could hack. Time to search the bins.

ZombieF will clarify, but this is probably a cost that has to be included. Trash bags usually aren't free.

but grocery bags are. You get them free every time you buy something. So just use one of those

I think we need a preview thread. Like the hanger inception from last time, somewhere that we can give a teaser picture. Just my thoughts.
