book of the dead prop and doorway of the dead

I would like a "book of the dead" type prop as found in the "Evil Dead" movie franchise (but not so similar that it is sold as an editorial product). A book that opens, has a front cover with a stretched face appearing to be made of skin, with a mouth and eyes, that can be morphed to open and closed. The cover should look like it is made of old dried flesh or if that is too similar to the movie prop, dragon skin or something. The interior can be blank, I just want the ability to open it and have a couple pages that can be turned, and that I can add my own images to so make the UV nice to play with, front and back of each page can be changed (so with 2 moveable pages in the center of the book, there would be a total of 6 possible page surfaces (this gives lots of options for animation). If a PA reads this and thinks it would have too limited appeal for the effort, I think it could also be a dual use item. Have a doorway option, where the cover of the book is the door, just add a clawed hand as the doorknob and add a doorframe so it can be added to any existing fantasy set or castle, haunted house, etc. Now you have a really cool fantasy doorway and book.
