Murray is a comical, larger-than-life, Egyptian Mummy who is always looking to party, when he isn’t hitting on the female mummies. One of Dracula’s oldest friends, Murray visits Hotel Transylvania every chance he gets, especially when Dennis is born. Never missing a birthday party, Murray always brings, what he considers to be, the best gifts.
Although he is a party animal by nature, he is also filled with good advice and gives it out when needed. For Example, when Dracula thought it would be a good idea to toss Dennis of a rickety tower, Murray was pretty sure the whole thing was a bad idea and was not shy to state it.
Murray has powers…or used to have powers. In Hotel Transylvania 2, we find out that he can produce large sandstorms. Well we are told he can. We never really get to see his awesome power. We do get to see him fly into Drac’s hotel on a wave of sand in “Hotel Transylvania”.
Murray has green eyes and he is wrapped in old bandages (he is a mummy after-all). In the movie his eyes are often shifting about. I thought it would be fun to bring out the “Cubee Follow Me Eyes” (#cubeefollowmeeyes) and let Murray’s eyes shift. The “Cubee Follow Me Eyes” will do just as they say. As you move around the room, the eyes will follow you. Check out the gif below.
Of course, for those looking to avoid the possible creepy factor of eyes following you around the house or office, I have included the stationary eyes template as well.
To Build the Cubeecraft:
Materials needed:
Printer
Card stock
scissors
x-acto knife
To make original cubeecraft of Murray:
- Cut out each item along the outer black lines
- Cut along the white on each tab using the x-acto knife
- Cut along each red line using the x-acto knife
- Fold along each inner solid black line and slide each tab into the slots you created with an x-acto knife to form a cube of the head, body, arms, and feet
- Slide the arms through the red slots on either side of the body.
- Slide the feet through the red slots at the base of the body.
- Slide the head through the red lots of the now completed body.
To make “Cubee Follow Me Eyes” cubeecraft of Murray:

- Cut along the white on each tab using the x-acto knife
- Cut along each red line using the x-acto knife

- Slide the feet through the red slots at the base of the body
- Put together the head but leave the top up like a lid.
- Fold the insert along the black line with the eyes facing out.
- Place the insert in the head. The bottom of the insert should be up against the corner of the cubeecraft. The tab on the end of the insert needs to slide through the back tab of the head so that the insert stays in place.
Close the head. - Slide the now completed heady through the red lots of the body.
Murray is now complete. To download the template click the image below and save them to your computer.
