Build Your Own EVIL DEAD Cabin In The Woods This Halloween - Step-By-Step Image Guide
Feeling crafty this Halloween? If you nodding your head up and down, then we have a really neat project that will wow your friends, family and even your dear old grandma.
Remember the 'cabin in the woods' as seen in the movie The Evil Dead? How would you like to create your very own replica? Well my fellow Bidites, conder today your lucky day. With the guidance of freelance Set Degne, Producer, Perfomer and Director,Lance Cardinal, you'll learn how to create this badass replica in this step-by-step image guide which is very inexpenve to create.
(Please note - this is a visual guide, you'll have to improvise on the degn as well as measurements)
* * *
It all begins with foam core and twigs.
* * *
The porch is forced perspective to give false depth when viewed from the front.
* * *
Stonework is made with Crayola Model Magic air dry compound.
* * *
Boards are drawn into foam core and will be painted later.
* * *
Roof tile is cereal box best thing to keep around for modeling.
* * *
I made the shingles smaller as it went up higher to add to the forced perspective effect.
* * *
Cereal box trim and boards
* * *
Twig posts added in.
* * *
More twigs added as trees. I know there would be light and these twigs will light up nicely.
* * *
Paint treatment begins. Age and weathering.
* * *
Notice the chimney is black before stone finishing treatment.
* * *
Dry brushing always gives an aged and dramatic effect.
* * *
Tissue paper and glue is placed all over ground to cover surface.
* * *
Stone paint treatment.
* * *
Leaves are real leaves from Micheals craft store crumpled up and sprinkled over glue.
* * *
Lance Cardinal standing with the model for scale! Notice the moon in the tree...
* * *
Now that you know how to build one, run to Michael's and buy all the supplies, then get to work. Halloween is only 29 days away!! We'd love to see your finished results.

That is incredible!
I'd love to try and make my own. Not sure if it would turn out half as well as that, but it's worth a try! I love being crafty.
Thanks for sharing!

Send pics if you attempt this project. It actually doesn't look all that hard.

This is badass...I usually build a haunted house with the kids ung the glue gun, popcle sticks, paint, markers and construction paper, every couple years.
I like the different items used here.
The chimney and twig trees give it depth...I think I'll try this as well with the kids...

I started thinking about that. Someone should make a model of the house from 'A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET'.
Nice job. :)
