Zombie 101
Every day I learn something new from CNN.com/Exchange readers. While working on our Monster Mash gallery of Halloween pictures, I was told it takes 15 feet of pvc pipe to make an adult zombie skeleton. If you buy your heads in bulk at a beauty supply shop, it costs about $15 to build one. Good to know.
Randall Cookesy of Hanceville, Alabama knows how to build a zombie. He wants you to know, too. Items needed: two 10-foot pieces of 3/4" PVC four 3/4" 90 degree elbow sockets two 3/4" 45 degree elbow sockets one 3/4" cross socket three tee sockets a hand held PVC pipe cutter Measurements needed: neck - 2" shoulders - 8" two pieces spine - 21" upper arm - 12" two pieces lower arm - 11" hip - 6" two pieces legs - 32" feet - 10" Randall Cooksey writes: You can put this together like you would a skeleton, you can connect the feet to the legs by using the tee sockets. You may or may not want to use PVC cement to glue your zombie together. Outside the wind will blow it down, but the cement holds it great. I used tent stakes to help anchor the zombie down. I hope this will be a great help to you. Tuesday, October 24, 2006
Getting I-Reports can be tricky
![]() We love getting photos and video I-Reports from CNN.com users, but we also want you to stay safe while you're doing so. I'm getting to be an old lady, and frankly, my heart can't take the stress. Sunday, October 22, 2006
