The original image that first showed the EVIL DEAD / NECRONOMICON Custom VCR from Hayden. Groovy, baby.
Where'd the inspiration come from to whip this bad boy together? I saw tron_one02's custom painted ones the other day on your blog (which were amazingly sick) and wanted to try it for myself but add sculpture into the element.A look at the sides of VCR. There was some question from Tapeheads about the video ventilation, but as you can see, it's all groovy, mang.
Can you describe the process of customizing this bad boy? What materials, the process and how many hours are in this thing? It took me two days to do it. At first I sketched out the face with sharpie, put down a layer of latex, added paper for the cracks and wrinkles, more latex, and finally mask paint.A full front view of the EVIL DEAD / NECRONOMICON VCR from Hayden Hall. Fleshy, dude, fleshy.
How about the functionality of the machine? Is it in full working order? Does it still ventilate properly? I've only given it a couple runs through but it seems to handle it perfectly. I left the side vents open and kept the amount of latex to a minimum. That being said, I think it may just be good as a specialty player and not your go-to one for day to day use. I'm not 100% on how well it will hold up playing it on a regular basis since this is the first time I've done this, but if you ever have a special night where you want to have a full deadite experience and want to plug this bad boy in it will totally get the job done.A detail shot on the VCR showing the incredible texture and tones on this bad boy. This thing is so BOSS.
Are you in the market to do other custom machines? If so, what's the best way to get a hold of you? Facebook or my email at sickslicecinema@gmail.com. I would love to do more custom machines. It just takes a couple of days to find another good working one, but I have no problem with doing more. I also do other movies than Evil Dead. Shoot me some ideas, and I'm sure we can work something out.Another top view VHShowcasing all of the killer detail work and radical likeness. Watch yo' fingas, mang!
