Well if you’ve gone to the trouble of following the charred corpse tutorial, you may as well go the extra mile and check out the Haunt 101 tutorial to create a Boneyard BBQ for it. This barbaric looking prop is the perfect exclamation point for a prop that’s pretty in your face as it is. Put a cauldron creep next to it and you’re well on your way to an incredibly creepy scene.
