Okay. You people asked for it. Here are photos of the dead dog I built. This is the initial blood look, working with the idea that the dog has been hit by a car recently. Most animals killed by cars die from broken necks or internal bleeding. There’s very little visible damage.
We needed gore.
Lots and lots of blood. As I mentioned, I did some surgery to the dog and then, right before it goes onstage, they dump stageblood on it so that we get some dripping action. Next up, in small form, are two shots of the damage that might have occurred with multiple car hits. Note the missing leg.
I think that play might be fairly disturbing. But the dog is great.
Well done!
Gee Mary, with the kind of props you’ve been building this year, I shudder to think what the xmas favors might be…
Okay, you’re scaring me a little.
Sorry about the squick aspect of this. Strangely, the play is a comedy.
I requested the “after” photos . . . and I’m quite pleased. By a strange coincidence, I attended a memorial service for pets last night. Very beautiful event at the Old Church at SW 11th and Clay.
Strange to say, I never watched horror or monster movies growing up, and I rarely do now.
I guess reality is scary enough for me.
