Has anyone made a "Hand of Glory"?

[hydin]

I have a spare hand sitting around (yes, I have several fake hands that somehow wound up being owned by me).

I am giving some serious thought to converting one to a "Hand of Glory" as soon in several old horror stories, tv shows, movies, etc.

It seems pretty simple, take hand and pour wax over it until it builds up into a hand candle, but I have learned over the years that the fun and interesting and "simple to do" things tend to be nightmares to actually make.

I was wondering if anyone had taken a shot at it and made one in the past for a display.

Any tips are appreciated.

Please tell me the "fist" from Borat is NOT in your collection.

That one in the original Wicker Man is downright creepy.

Haven't seen Borat yet, so I am guessing no, its not the same one.

I can only imagine that is one of those "fun" hands they used on mythbusters for the shark punching episode :lol

I have seen the HOG used in a lot of things, but I haven't had a chance to catch the first wicker man movie. I have been meaning to but it's pretty hard to find nowadays. I refuse to see the remake.

I will try to find the hand I was going to use for the base and pop a pic up later tonight.

Anchor Bay just released the DVD as a two disc not long ago. Try your local Borders.

Target also sells the Original Wicker Man.
It's the restored edition recently released.
