Denny's Ground Breaker

A brief show-and-tell segment from a Hauntcast mass make-and-take event in July 2009, featuring a cemetery ground-breaker prop built by a participant named Denny. The clip showcases a grave-jumper style figure designed to appear as if a corpse is rising from the earth. At just one minute, it serves as a quick look at a finished community-built prop rather than a step-by-step tutorial.
