DIY Necronomicon Prop "Evil Dead" Book Of The Dead

[shrklvr94]

hey man i made my necronomicon today and it looks pretty fantastic. i painted it with a mixture of paint and liquid latex and once that dried i put an additional layer of latex by itself. the latex was flesh tone and it both looks and feel like real skin. im gatering print outs of pages now and im going to try to figure out how to place them in the book. anyway the cover is done and looks fantastic. if u plan on making another i suggest the latex. it was an amazing addition.

[prejusapatrick]

@shrklvr94 Just watched your video. WOW! Excellent work! I did consider latex but never got around to trying it. So glad you did it. Now we can see how awesome the results are. Really, it looks awesome. Ok, definitely gotta get back to work on an updated one. Going to try it with latex this time around. Thank you so much for posting.

[shrklvr94]

@prejusapatrick also building up more duct tape so its more wrinkled and thicker gave it a better look and gave more of a fleshy give under the latex. also with the latex, the sealer u used isnt needed on the cover. unless u purposely peel it off it isnt going anywhere. just powder it thoroughly once it dries to take away stickiness and shine.

[shrklvr94]

@prejusapatrick AND one more thing! after u powder the latex, if ur having trouble getting it off, misting it with water and dabbing the water off with a paper towel or rag will remove any excess powder from the book.

[Boodiney]

ooooooooh! the necronomicon in chocolate! XD

[bondovwvw]

what better way to say I love you with a book of the dead!

[CoreyAMarr]

Nice. Wish I would of thought of that.!! I made mine with tissue paper and rubber latex

[ZombCore]

Hey, sorry but what did you seal the book with after you burnt the edges?

[Woodogg18]

I made one following this video, it turned out pretty good but I can still make out the edges of the duct tape :( I super glued a DVD case inside and put my trilogy in it. I also want to do the pop up thing too, but can't figure out how to do it.

[prejusapatrick]

@Woodogg18 Awesome. I'd love to see a vid of what your final product looks like. I'm probably going to do a follow up video to this and show how to do the pop-up portion.

[piranhaboy5000]

my book loos better.

[wolfservant5]

mod podge...HUFFFF

[Beatnikzombie]

I've been planning to make one for a long time now. I'm going to use leather. I think the leather will be even creepier.

[prejusapatrick]

@Beatnikzombie Oh wow. I would love to see a video of that.

[Beatnikzombie]

@prejusapatrick Maybe there will be one. I have no idea when I'll have the time. So many creatures to create.

[evilzombie100]

@Beatnikzombie That means it will fall off.... unless you duct tape it... but you have to tape the whole thing for the same feel all around... which means you'll neeed paint ...which means you need to paint the leather too...then it's all a big pain in the rear.....honestly....I would use this method.

[Horror3000]

my next sunday project :) Awesome job, and great audition episode

[jayhayes2007]

I want to make one, then get an insert so I can put my H. P. Lovecraft Necronomicon inside it! Need to be sturdy though, for a 1000 page large hardback!

[Awesomedude12335]

That's awesome dude

[Swampax]

"Now remember kids, allways have adult supervision when you make your own book of the dead!" ...Oh really!? xD

[AdiarraStormfury]

Friggin awesome!

[slipknot1915]

Read the book, ive read it. Its amazing, i belive everything in it, about it!

[grassmover99]

NICE, you did the same vid on Indymogul!!!!

I like this book zo much, Tnx

[prejusapatrick]

@grassmover99 Thank you so much. And that's awesome you saw me on Indy Mogul. It was fun to do.

[ChildePC]

@KyleGibbons91 Personally I see all christians as cultists. So supporting one part of a plague and joining sides with another seems like an oximoron. In the end, I see religion as a delusion of false promises and building dogmatic empires and all for that membership claim of we got one bigger than you. Sorry. muslims christians and all others. I ll support budha in one ideal ---to become extreme in any direction is disire and I HATE desire.

[lukenukem1976]

@KyleGibbons91 If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. But to concede a point, we all have to start somewhere and to build something very primordial in our nature. again no offence intended :)...I got a fat book here from 1815 and four square feet of black goat skin waiting to be to converted into a Dee copy of the Necronomicon

[Braleven]

Three people missed the like button :\

Or they're just Christian.

[XxBrOoKiExBrEmExX]

"and since no one i know would let me um.. stretch their face over the cover" xD ahaha this is a definite on my to do list :D

[magnificentAmbercin]

you are awsome!!!!

[prejusapatrick]

@magnificentAmbercin Thank You!

[deliconker]

Looks a little shiny. Would dullcote fix that or would it mess with the sealant?

[prejusapatrick]

@deliconker Actually, if you wanna use dullcote instead of the sealant that might work much better. I'm going to try that actually. Thanks.

[george2p]

@prejusapatrick can you make a video of that try???

by the way cool necronomicon

[ChildePC]

IF I was still in college, this would be a great prop for messing with street preachers. They merely thought you were bad. they didn't know you couldn't be saved. Of course getting a group of friends to chant and conjure might add alittle more weriodness to the event.

[prejusapatrick]

@ChildePC OMG, that would make a great video. LOL.

[ChildePC]

@prejusapatrick To bad the necronomican isn't real. It was made up for the movies purposes. But I think there is another book which can fit the role. FUNDIES ARE AFRAID OF ALL OTHER RELIGIONS. So using any book would work.

[kmd1985kmd]

Cool idea I think I might use that to make a photo album or scrapbook.

[prejusapatrick]

@kmd1985kmd If you make one, I'd love to see pics.

[SuperChaoTV]

lol teabag

[monsterdiscohell2]

you got my vote on BFX

[prejusapatrick]

@monsterdiscohell2 Thank you! I'm glad you liked my vid. :D

[prejusapatrick]

@monsterdiscohell2 Thank you! I'm glad you liked my vid. :D

[prejusapatrick]

I'm going to attempt to hot glue like 300 sheets of paper into a new necro. Other than that, you could just make a necro cover out of an actual book or blank diary. I'd love to see yours when it's done. OH and great idea about the teeth. I'm definitely going to try that.

[MistaChansta]

You so got my vote for BFX

[prejusapatrick]

Thanks. It means alot. Even if I don't get it, I'm confident Erik will pick someone decent. Thanks for the support though.

[k97c]

hey u wer on indy mogul bfx. good luck on ur quest to become the new host

[prejusapatrick]

Thanks. Even if I don't make it, it's all good. It was just an honor for them to air my episode. Thanks for watching it. :D

[Struckworld]

hey patrick don't listen to these assholes this is a good tutorial

im gonna get my supplies now

[prejusapatrick]

Thanks. It's all good though. Assholes are usually funny without even knowing it. It's like bonus entertainment. If you make one, I'd love to see pics. Or even better, make a vid. :D

[Struckworld]

ill make a vid! but i have a question how did you glue the pages to make them flip like a real book?

[prejusapatrick]

I just took sheets of thick card stock and hot glued them to the spine. Seemed to work pretty well.

[hussam0ntreal]

get a life

[prejusapatrick]

No shit. This video is so stupid.

[hussam0ntreal]

its as stupid as the author

[prejusapatrick]

This dumbass sits around all day eating chilli and making dumbass videos. He probably thinks this shit will make him into YouTube star. It's all he wants since he can't ever get laid. What a lame ass motherfucker.

[hussam0ntreal]

get laid???? he cant locate his own penis

[prejusapatrick]

Penis! What penis? His dick is so small he needs to masturbate between the slits of a fork. His penis is so tiny it more than easily fits into the holes of a pasta strainer.  He has to pay ants in sugar grains to get a blow job!

His definition of self pleasuring is using a coffee stirrer and a drop of olive oil.

[hussam0ntreal]

hhahahahhahah

good one

[Hannexx3]

Thank you very much! Awesome video ^_____^

[prejusapatrick]

Thank you so much for watching! :D

[DragonWing17]

love the pop up =D

[prejusapatrick]

Thank you. I thought it was nifty. Fun to make as well.

[CDHIgnorance]

Are you able to summen evil summarian demons with it?

[shalemana]

Awesome, will make one as soon as i get home =D

[armbusk]

dude first of all the necronomicon isent from the evil dead series the necronomicon is yes the book of the dead buuuuuuuuuuut its told that if a mortal read it the mortal will die 1 hour long and painful death its told to be holding all satans magicks spells and curses

[prejusapatrick]

Agreed.

[Idolhands7007]

@armbusk ..dude, it's a creation of H.P. Lovecraft...he invented the concept. duuuuhhh

[MissEmyllis]

..... Im sorry, repeat that... XD

[elblackyreinara]

haha cute!

[xXpinkravenXx]

thats awsome!!!

[prejusapatrick]

Thank you! :D

[lukenukem1976]

over complicated and just not that great! Get yourself a cheap second hand book, prepare it and use some modelling putty to achieve the same skin effect. I made my buddy a copy years ago. Sorry to burst any bubbles folks..

[prejusapatrick]

Agreed.

[KAoSATAN]

next one needs to be made of natural materials. dont forget to bleed into the paint. if you want lessons in the dead let me know.

[jcastillo81]

Wow man, this is really cool!  nice job!

[prejusapatrick]

Why thank you. :D

[wrathofcell]

WHY DONT WE SET OURSELVES ON FIRE?

[CupidDanger]

Awesome dude!

[gexplorer309]

When someone create something, even u see that as stupid, it is always good and positive thing. Try yourself to do something nerd

[prejusapatrick]

what a nerd!

[lynette1953]

yeah this is soo dumb:)_

[lynette1953]

the necronomicon is not the book of the dead lolz, stupid ass holywood shit

[prejusapatrick]

exactly

[yellowmadness54]

the necronomicon was made up by H.P lovecraft was the book discribing superstitions, supernatural worlds spirits and etc....in this, sam just said it was the book of the dead as tribute, so stop whining

[lynette1953]

nerd

[yellowmadness54]

your just mad cause i prooved you wrong

[lynette1953]

im not mad at all, you just looked up your facts on google.

you know nothing about the necronomicon or satanic worship.

its far older than you think its funny though that you think that

[prejusapatrick]

exactly

[BlackLegionPainting]

It was created by a man called H.P. Lovecraft, he wrote it in an semi - unknown language, only a few words in english - about the nightmares, its focused on the Great Old Ones, Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth and so on. The original version was written in blood and bound with human skin. It is the bible for the Cult of Cthulhu (See HighPriestVengerSatanis) It is full of spells and many odd symbols, I have a copy of the original. Later on in history a man re-wrote the necronomicon, but I've forgotten his na

[BlackLegionPainting]

me. He spent most of his time in egypt - He spoke of mythical creatures called Byhakee that he could summon at will and ride far distances and back in very short amounts of time. The spells consist of thing such as ressurecting the dead. Most people misinterperit (Incorrectly spelled) the Necronomicon - It was originally just meant to be an entertaing book for odd people of the time to read and mess around with magic. H.P. Lovecraft was a tortured soul by his corrupt mind, so you see the necrono

[BlackLegionPainting]

micon is completely harmless, per-se. It is all about if you believe in it, remember children - Things aren't always what they seem...

[lynette1953]

:)  .

[BlackLegionPainting]

What do you mean by that smiley face.

[lynette1953]

does that make you feel insecure or somthing?

[BlackPhantomWorks]

This is my other account, and yes, slightly. Who smiles at people while there talking about "Evil" books.

[lynette1953]

people like me, i guess.

[BlackPhantomWorks]

Well that much is clear.

[lynette1953]

is that weird?

[BlackPhantomWorks]

Depends what you mean by weird.

[lynette1953]

other than normal , or slighty ambiguous maybe?

[0NegativeOne0]

No, the Necronimicon, as we know it today, was written in the sixth century by the Mad Arab and translated into English by an author know simply as Simon. The book was based on ancient sanscrit texts written by the Sumerians about the Annunaki. H.P. Lovecraft simply based a few books on the texts contained in the Necronomicon (very poorly, I might add). If you had read it you would know that. So the next time you want to sound smart you should at least know what you're talking about.

[BlackLegionPainting]

Now you see, I was simply stating my knowledge of the Necronimcon, I also have a copy of the Lovecrafts, and i'm in pursuit of the "Mad Arabs" copie. And I'am also not the guy whom is flaming me, who was just trying to explain a practically ancient text, to some guy so that he would have a better understanding of what the Necronomicon is.

[BlackLegionPainting]

Though I understand where you are coming from, and nor do I like the way you said it, I will support your right to say it.

[0NegativeOne0]

That comment wasn't directed towards you, my computer is just acting weird, that comment was meant to go to yellowmadness54. Also if you are in pursuit of a copy of the Mad Arab's go look in an online bookstore you'll find it there.

[BlackLegionPainting]

Oh, Well thank you for the some what apologie. Thanking you for adding to the small bank of knowledge in this video.

[Rohail2006]
