@@richardgladden240 Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words and for sticking around, haha! Can you believe it’s been over two years since I posted a video, wow, sometimes life just has other plans though. But it was fun doing this again! I’m so glad you liked the awards! Thanks again! Cheers😄🎃👍

Wow thank you so much for these incredibly kind words, we are just so glad you enjoy our videos! Can you believe it had been almost 2 1/2 years since I posted my last video wow, sometimes life just gets in they way. But it was fun to be back doing this again and I hope we can continue posting more soon! Thanks again for watching and for all the support! Cheers!😁🎃

Thanks so much David, and thanks for watching! It’s been a loooong time since I’ve done a video, it was a blast doing this again! Yeah this was a fun project for sure, we are surrounded by so many amazing home haunters and it was so fun to acknowledge a few! I can’t wait to do this again next Halloween! Hope you are doing well and thanks again for the love n support! Cheers!❤️🎃👍

Thank you so much, we really appreciate it! Yeah we are literally smack dab in the middle of the most amazing haunt community on the planet and it was so fun to acknowledge some of these amazing artists! They bring us so much every Halloween season and we are so grateful for all of them! They are ALL so deserving! Thanks for watching! Cheers!😄🎃👍

Thank you so much for your kind words, it really does mean the world to us! I’m so glad you liked the award and the video, this was an absolute blast for us! We feel very blessed and thankful that we made it through the fires ok, but a lot of our friends and coworkers were affected. It’s been devastating for sure. Thanks for the love n support!❤️🎃

Thank you so much, we really appreciate it! I’m so glad you liked the awards! They were a blast to make and even more fun handing out! Cheers!🎃👍

YESSSS! That was always the worst part about creating our own haunted attractions is then you can’t get out to see everyone else’s, and it killed us! Our favorite thing in the world is to go see everyone’s amazing haunts! So that part has been awesome for sure, but we do miss doing our huge display sometimes. Thanks so much for watching! Cheers!🎃👍

Thank you so much bud, it means a lot to us! We had an absolute blast doing this and we are so fortunate to be surrounded by so many talented and loving people! The haunt community is just off the charts here! Thank you again for the support all these years and for checking out the video, so glad you liked it! Cheers!🎃👍

Thanks Keith! It was a blast doing a video again, been way too long! Yeah this was a super special project, we’d been wanting to do this for a few years now! It’s just fun to give a lil something back to this amazing haunt community cuz they give so much to all of us! Thanks again brother! Cheers!😜🎃👍

Hey buddy, great to hear from you and thanks for stopping by! I’m super excited to see your new Halloween content, that sounds awesome! Can’t wait! We had an absolute blast with this project and are excited to do it again next year cuz yes, we have an endless amount of amazing home haunters around here, haha! Thanks again bud! Cheers!😜🎃👍

Hey David, thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video! It was a super fun project to do and a blast making a video again! I hope you and your family have been well! Thanks again brother! Cheers!🎃👍

Yeah we are literally smack dab in the middle of the most amazing haunt community on the planet! It is so fun and so inspiring! We wish we could award everyone with one of these, they are all so deserving! Thanks so much for watching! Cheers!🎃👍

Haha thanks Brian! Yeah this is the way I learned to make molds in the movie FX industry! It’s a great way to make sure your mold halves are always perfectly aligned and the seam is almost invisible with virtually no flashing! Thanks for watching bud! Cheers!🎃👍

@@GrimwoodHollow That tracks; I always HATED making molds, so mine were always the worst! In hindsight, that's probably why they preferred me sculpting or painting...because my molds sucked so bad! 😆

Haha yeah, he’s full of surprises! And it’s scary how much he knows about everyone, hmmmm…??🤣😜🎃👍

Thanks again for watching Dave! It was a super fun project and a blast doing a video again! But dang I forgot how much work they are, been editing it since November whenever I had some fee time haha! 😂

Thank you so much for the kind words, we had a blast doing this for everyone! Yeah we have an overload of truly talented folks here doing amazing haunts, it’s absolutely inspiring!! Thanks for watching!🎃👍

Thanks brother, I appreciate it!! It was a blast to do for sure!!🎃😜💚

@@jab642000 Well thank you so much for your kind words, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!😄🎃👍

@@anty_tanwa5190 Thank you so much and happy holidays! Cheers😄🎃👍

@@richardgladden240 Wow funny you should ask, after a two year hiatus I’m actually working on a video right now! Life has been very challenging the last couple years to say the least, but I still had so many ideas for videos that I wanted to do. So it’s fun to be back at it. I have no idea if I’ll ever be able to regularly post videos again, but when I can I will! So thank you so much for your kind words, your support, and for sticking around all these years! And hold tight, cuz a new video is coming very soon! Cheers! 🎃❤️👍

@@ERone43 Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I would love to see what you create, are you going to post any photos or videos anywhere?🎃👍

@@grahamjpjones Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m so glad you liked the video! That’s awesome you are going to create a replica of one of our guns, I’d love to see it when you’re done! I’ve seen some prop replicas that people have created that put our actual props to shame, haha! Thanks again!👍🎃

@@tomwilson1006 Thank so much, glad you liked them! They were a ton of work but I think they turned out pretty cool! Wish I had one too haha!🤣🎃👍

@@GrimwoodHollow Too bad you don’t have sketches or blueprints for them, someone could make them into 3D models in Blender or some other software, and then 3D print the components to assemble their own models. You could sell A LOT of those 3D files for good money, I have no doubt!

@@shawk8365 Thank you so much! Ive been planning on doing that just haven’t gotten around to it yet! I already have the body’s, clothing, accessories, etc, that I want to use and now I just need to 3D print some 1/6 scale heads! Hopefully soon! Cheers!🎃👍

@@michaelaguilar7771 Wow, you made my day! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, I really appreciate it! And thanks so much for watching! Cheers🎃👍

@@classifiedfive4377 Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! If you liked this I hope you check out videos of our past yard displays, this was a very slimmed down version of what we normally did because we had a family medical emergency to deal with and we were gone almost the entire month of October. But we still had to do a lil something! Anyway, glad you liked it! We got the crows from a number of different stores over the years like Michael’s, Stats, and Spirit. But they can be hard to find sometimes. Thanks again!🎃👍

@@michaelchyles Hey bud! Well not sure if I know exactly what you mean by “motivated lighting” but we have definitely used different lighting on them over the years? Lighting from below to create more dramatic shadows and lighting from above as well at times? You can see examples of it in our walkthrough videos at night! Cheers😜🎃👍

@@GrimwoodHollow yea! A little throw of light onto them to create more of a ‘candle’ punch since the candles are so dim. I noticed it’s pretty well lit tho! Looks awesome man cheers!

@@FraidyZone Hey Fraidy, thanks for stopping by! Are you talking about this video… kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH_UZoCErraEgqcsi=FWUYe4GgiAKAlmpG

@@GrimwoodHollow Yesss!!!!🙌🤣👏👏👏Thank you!!! I’m seeing so much mass-produced Halloween stuff lately, and could really appreciate some good old hilarious, spooky, artistic ingenuity!💫🖤

They are called “Old Red” lanterns and they come with dimmable LED lights. Got them a number of years ago but you might still be able to find them? They take 4 AA batteries. We love them! Cheers🎃👍

@@GrimwoodHollow thanks but I don’t think they make them anymore.

Thank you so much for kind words, I really appreciate it! It’s been a number of years now since I’ve made any of these, they are super time consuming but I really do love how they turn out, so hopefully one day I can get back to making these! Thanks again, cheers!🎃👍

Haha, you are so right! Nobody even knew that those were actual movie props in my yard, it’s so crazy to think back on! And you know what else is crazy, I actually just left that stuff out on my lawn for days! Omg! Anyone could have walked into my yard and ran off with an actual Freddy glove from Nightmare on Elm st 2, or a Carol Ann corpse from Poltergeist 2, or other props as well! What a different time! And it’s pretty insane that my boss at the FX shop I was working at just let me take whatever props I wanted to use in my Halloween display, I mean that is just freakin nuts haha! I can’t even imagine what those props would be worth today! Well thanks so much for watching, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!🤣😱🎃👍

Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! I honestly haven’t made these for a few years now but if I do maybe I’ll film the whole process and do a video! I personally love working with latex over silicone but the downside is the latex can end up deteriorating faster if it’s not taken care of properly. I do have some tutorials on my channel about sculpting, mold making, and casting and honestly it’s pretty much the same techniques! So maybe some of my other videos will be of some help to you! Good luck and thanks again! 🎃👍

@@GrimwoodHollow also, you used latex for these heads? have you made a mold or do you sculpt each one

Hey thanks so much for watching! I don’t have any videos showing the creation of those props because I made them years ago before I had a KZbin channel and unfortunately I didn’t film any of it. But I do have quite a few videos that showcase them pretty well. I might be doing a video though one day soon that really shows each prop in detail and I will talk about the creation of them! Thanks again so much! Cheers🎃👍

Yeah his head, hands, and feet are all latex and polyfoam. The teeth and nails are therma plastic. His body I fabricated out of PVC, foam, chicken wire, and latex. I have a few videos showing the sculpting and mold making I did for the Collector and I will be doing videos soon showing the rest of his creation. Thanks so much, cheers!🎃👍

Hey thanks so much for watching! So this was a combination of a live pyrotechnic effect on set and then a visual effect added later in post production. I’m sure now days this entire effect would just be done in post as a visual/digital effect, but yeah it was a super cool fire blast for sure! Thanks again and good luck on your film! Cheers😄👍
