Last week’s Halloween-themed episode of “9-1-1,” Buck (Oliver Stark) brings what he thinks is a dummy skeleton to a haunted house attraction hosted at the 118 fire station. To everyone’s horror, he later learns that the dummy is actually a real skeleton belonging to an Old West outlaw named Billy Boils, who Buck believes cursed him for accidentally removing one of its arms.

TheWrap spoke to the show’s prop master Bryce Moore, and his assistant Megan Casey about how they “Frankensteined” the skeleton. They also did a convincingly gruesome show-and-tell with it over Zoom and explained all the work put into the show’s other big prop from Season 8, Episode 5, an oversized pumpkin that gets stuck on a guy’s head.
