What I'm thinking is maybe make a Paper Mache frame and brush some latex on there then paint and gore it up. If it's in a haunted house, doesn't have to look Hollywood quality.

5 gal buckets carved with a dremel make good rib cages, spray foam makes good guts too.

You could also reduce the amount of exposed gore by just partially filling up heavily weathered shirts/pants with newspaper. Assuming no one's touching them. Like stop the torso 3 inches about the line of the shirt and let it drape down, with bloody dragmarks behind it and plenty of blood where the stump would be. If the material is slightly tented up so you can see SOMETHING dark in there, and/or some straight gashes in the shirt, allowing you to see a hint of unbloody, yet slightly stained flesh, etc.. it's probably enough because hints like that can "sell" it for you. That kinda' faking allows you to save your good stuff for exposed parts only, rather than making a buncha high end naked hairless torsos all over the place that are gonna' cost a fortune. Wigs are good, but faking with dirt covered twigs, moss and stuff can save your budget if you arrange stuff artfully in darkened areas. Wig stores throw out stuff all the time, folks get a new wig to replace a bad one and ask the wig folks to just throw it out for them. Make friends, be there to check and pick any up every week, (dont call!) and make it easy for them, and you'd probably be surprised at what you end up with.I rented out some halloween props to a guy having a big halloween party a couple of years back, and was amazed at the shortcuts he took.. I was pretty much amazed with what he did buy duct taping branches to act as armatures for corpses, using basic props for "exposed" portions such as painted jello hands, etc.. If I ever need a field of bodies you can bet you're gonna' see gelatine on the list.The "cheesier" you go, the further you wanna' keep it from your guests.. if they're veiwing from a distance, there's literally no end to the shortcuts you can use.I really like that 5 gal bucket idea.. I'll have to remember that one ; )
