Fake dead bodies are meticulously cast in heavy silicone

Dragging a realistic corpse through the woods is exhausting mostly because a high-quality dummy weighs practically as much as a real human. To prevent the limp body from awkwardly bouncing like a cheap pool float, prop houses cast them in dense, heavy silicone around a weighted metal armature. They are horrifyingly squishy, heavy, and absolutely miserable to carry.
