How would I go about making a man in the walls kinda like the one guy in the frightners and how he kinda flew around in the walls ?

i assume that you mean like the shot where the mirror bulges and deforms like its one of those little pin box things, right?

well, it's possible to do it a few different ways, you may be able to make a frame then put saran wrap in it, paint it with something that wont crack off or eat the plastic, then just have your actor push through...it may work

or, do it the way i think they did it, cgi...if you have bryce 3D or higher, you may be able to make a terrain, apply a height map in the terrain editor, then animate that so it looks like the "guy"(height map) is moving

there are other ways i'm sure, like a mesh deform in 3dsm, but they get more technical

Spandex. Lot's of spandex.

Really.

Stretch it over a wooden or metal frame, and have the actor rub against it and move around.

This effect is used in haunted houses all the time.
