Carving Giant Halloween Pumpkins | Sculpting Foam Props & Decorations | Charlie Brown Pumpkins

[@madmac66]

Team Chris all the way. There are two types o f people in this world. Those that have a disc sander, and those that need a disc sander. Also, need plans for your giant hot wire tool. That thing is amazing

[@OjaiHaunt]

One day I'll be making these, and I can't wait.

[@AlternativeLifeTV]

Mabye go for a crisp apple scent for the haunt, it's a great fall scent that is noticeable, smells great, but is used less often than pumpkin spice. I feel like Freddy Krueger would be the best because he's very skilled with his claws and has a very dark imagination

[@darlinggonzalez9308]

Wow those are the greatest pumpkins ever.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks!

[@gambit2321]

Michael Myers would be the best. Man loves Halloween and someone must be carving those pumpkins on all his DVD covers. ;)

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Those covers are awesome!

[@shellbacksclub]

Think I'd go with Leather Face as my pick for who would be good at carving Pumpkins. He's pretty crafty when it comes to making homemade skin masks, so it might translate well into making faces for pumpkins. or he could just wrap it with someone's face & start a new trend on Pinterest ! Awesome job on this styro pumpkins BTW! your guys' (guyses?/guys's?...the two's of youzez?) talents amaze me!👍🎃

[@BudhagRizzo]

Definitely Jason. He learned to be creative at camp and he had a great mom! :-)

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Totally all those crafts he learned ;)

[@vharrald]

You still need to make a Cinderella pumpkin coach. That would be awesome

[@clairecaines4051]

Fighting I’ve a knife vs sander when who the heck has the heated foam cutters! Lol love the pumpkin!

[@bobbybouche4487]

Lucky husband!!!! Creative wife!!!!!!

[@bobbybouche4487]

Do you think I can get the same results with a hot knife instead of a hot wire

[@HollywoodHaunter]

sure

[@orangelanternproductionsll4727]

Your pumpkins are awesome. Where can I get foam pieces like the ones you use in this video.

[@tinacasto3472]

you guys are awesome. Now I want to make me a giant pumpkin for my yard.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks! :)

[@richardsoto1451]

Hey Guys. I dont have either sander or knife & i'll go with Jena. Fantastic pumpkins

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Whoop Whoop!!! Team Jeana YAY :)

[@flymario8046]

Freddie would be the best pumpkin Carver of course! All those knife fingers. It would be like Edward scissor hands for pumpkins!

[@hwallisch]

FlyMario I was thinking the same thing! Chris can dress up as Freddy & Jeana dress up as Edward Scissorhands!

[@dogwoodtales]

While not a movie killer character, Edward Scissorhands wins my vote, hands down ... ahem. Seriously, I was going to mention Edward before even reading this.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

I can imagine Edward's pumpkins would be the best looking if he carved them anything like the ice, hedges, or hairdos in the movie.

[@vickikgibson9470]

you guys are such fun! Nice to see people having fun making stuff...and I did learn something too! Thanks a bunch and I will look for other projects:) I have also used for smaller projects the outside Spackle compound for a coating..seems to work great and has the sand texture that adds great base for rocks etc...:) Of course it is rather expensive, but all I knew about at the time...now that I have the flexible concrete stuff will give that a try, the only problem is when it cracks...which can be a problem for nature centre sets that have to be kid proof...you know how that is! Cheers!

[@ghostlygraves5920]

I grow giant pumpkins, and this looks much easier, great suggestion, your so fun to watch

[@HollywoodHaunter]

That is so cool! The biggest pumpkin we grew was 30lbs, I would love to grow them again once this drought is over with :)

[@ozarkapparitions637]

plus of working overnight. First look at HH videos! Nice work guys!!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Woo Hoo, Thanks 😁

[@angelinajolie9]

fresh dug dirt would be a good smell, freddy would be the best carver cause of his control over his razor fingers, and i am with you on the knife/drywall saw cause its more handy and you dont have to plug it in. love you guys!!!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

looks like the knife team is going win muahahaha!

[@thepajc810]

They are shaping up real nice, can't wait to see them finished. Those would be perfect to use with that Atmosfearfx Singing Jack-O-Lantern projection effect, people would really be able to see that. Great job you two.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

hey that is a cool idea hmmm 🤔

[@philrabe910]

Sheetrock saw... Or knife if you prefer. I have both, but I'd just suit up, hunker down and hit it with a cutoff wheel in my little angle grinder.

[@kuyabillromjue6892]

Fun video, you guys are so Funny. The Pumpkins look awesome !

[@nynekats]

i don't have a disc sander... #teamjeana ...those look awesome so far!...awww, tonka!...:D

[@HollywoodHaunter]

WOO HOO!!! Looks like I'm winning this one ;)

[@JesseWilken]

I feel like a pine tree or pumpkin scent would be cool for the pumpkin patch.

[@robertsalgado6707]

I never thought the sound of carving foam would be so satisfying. Lol

[@HollywoodHaunter]

I don't mind it either but some people have said they can't stand the sound. Funny how everyone's different.

[@wickedpowder708]

Team Chris. Power tools make everything better. And picking foam out of the cooling fans on your tools is much more fun after a few pumpkin beers !

[@HollywoodHaunter]

we tried blowing out the sander with the air hose but now that you mention it maybe we should open it up to clean it, I'm thirsty any ways

[@tarkushead]

Just fantasitic work you guys! Gonna look like Hagrids pumpkin patch..

[@HollywoodHaunter]

awe we love Harry Potter 😄

[@spudsky100]

I've used joint compound to fill cracks in foam but I haven't used Great Stuff. I'll have to give it a go. Awesome

[@tinastrangway9788]

That's a no brainer.....Team Jeana, sorry Chris lol, I hate power tools they scare me! Looking AMAZING of course, now I want one, but that's impossible because I am not as talented as you both lol. I can not wait to see them all completed. FREAKING AWESOME!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We don't think its impossible Tina you could make one, You know it's mostly just getting the materials and doing the time and labor that it the hard part but your pumpkin could be awsome too! 😃

[@HollywoodHaunter]

thank you for the nice comment and I will let it slide this time that you picked team Jeana lol

[@tinastrangway9788]

lol Thanks Chris.... I feel better now that I know your OK with me being team Jeana... next time to make it even, I will be Team Chris.... sorry Jeana!

[@jackmac3614]

Pumpkins are looking awesome. I hope you guys do have time to work on that witches shack, that would be cool too!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

we will try and give it our best efforts. thanks for helping with the motivation.

[@splunge999]

Remember that little voodoo doll from the Trilogy of Terror movie? I can see him furiously stabbing and carving pumpkins with his little knife and big teeth!!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

I love that movie!

[@HalloweenHaunter]

Awesome job guys!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks!

[@HalloweenHaunter]

Hollywood Haunter no problem!

[@marianmurphy5231]

Light weight Spackle it fills in great you can use it like frosting

[@chillsonchambers2559]

those are so awesome. I would love to make some like that. maybe next year. but so awesome

[@HollywoodHaunter]

You totally should. They have been a lot of work but have been fun creating!

[@ZCDesign]

He isn't a killer... but no doubt.... Edward Scissor hands would totally carve the best pumpkin.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

they would definitely be the top artistic and beautiful pumpkins

[@pyroshnid]

The pumpkins are looking great already guys, nice job🎃

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you!

[@brownbettybrown1]

Oh my gosh, so entertaining, love those pumpkins. The horse curry is such a great idea for sanding!! Freddy would be a good helper in the carving🎃

[@HollywoodHaunter]

they really do give you so much control shaping the bead foam and the dense sculpting foam but we have never tried it on the pink or blue foam panels.

[@peterbodai1311]

Awesome props! I would like to have a one of these pumpkins to create the Pumpkin King mask! (Jack Skellington)

[@loralu490]

I think they could have one big gory pumpkin carving contest!! of course they'd miss the pumpkins and, well, imagination running wild...

[@bobaganoosh74]

wet leaves reminds me of fall!!

[@DeadwoodManor]

Well, clearly Freddie would win. He would be able to carve more intricate designs with his claws. Michael Meyers could maybe do a good job, but he would be severely limited with his knife. He would mostly only be able to do straight lines. It would be a very traditional jack o lantern face. Jason 's pumpkin would just get chopped in half with his giant machete.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

HAHAHA! I think you are right on all those :)

[@Floreypottery]

love the people don't have power tools remark and the Tim Allen argh lol tool time

[@dirk4926]

Attack of the killer pumpkins. Great video guys, super fun to watch!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks!

[@jaythinnorris3865]

a lot I mean not slot

[@winsloweskimo1]

Hickory is a wonderful autumn woods scent that smells nutty, sweet and out-doorsey. you might check that out.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@americanamusementparkmuseu4360]

love watching this I'm fascinated with a aren't of foam carving its really fun!

[@ToyHaunterAdventures]

Dude! So fun!!!!

[@orlandosabillon5797]

Would love to know where you guys buy the foam blocks? For as much as I been trying to find them in the market I can't just find them in the block shape!! Please !

[@HollywoodHaunter]

So we normally find our big blocks off of Craigslist either free or for sale. Or you can glue the sheet foam together with Great Stuff expanding foam to create your own blocks. Also get creative with old spa covers off of craigslist or large appliance stores that throw it away.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Just wanted to let you know we list some places to get big blocks of foam in this video if your still interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHUoJSAqputarc

[@ooddities]

It's gonna be like better than Halloweentown!!!

[@bujurasta4894]

sam from trick r treat....he takes halloween spirit to a new level!!!! Basically if you blow out your pumpkin the night of Halloween...you die.

[@elkslayer7399]

smear it with peanut butter and let the dog carve it...great idea- thanks for sharing..you will defiantly have to get your baby one of those foam bead pillows--he or she -literately has foam in there blood

[@lucerougalde141]

Espero me lean 🙏 Mi niño tiene 4 años es su super fan Ve este video todas mañanas antes de ir al colegio. Le encantan las calabazas desde que tenía 18 meses. Los ama mucho 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

[@ozarkapparitions637]

Froggys Dirt Scent is awesome

[@ritavogt5347]

I listened to “thats a nice boulder” about six times and laughed my ass off everytime lol

[@HollywoodHaunter]

LOL!!!

[@JennsHaunts]

I love them they're turning out so nice

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Jenn :)

[@trishredding8009]

Those pumpkins are so cool!

[@griffithhillcemetery4120]

of course micheal myers because of his awesome knife skills ! ;)

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Nice!

[@jeroenscholten7193]

Again nice gob!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks!

[@duanenelson1744]

great job guys, I always look forward to your videos. Team Chris.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Team Jeana is better....HAHAHAHAHAH- Jeana ;)

[@CubexAnimationTv]

We use the fog scents all the time and they work pretty awesome. But they also have sprays so you can spray a scent on the pumpkins. :)

[@HollywoodHaunter]

This will be our first time using them, We have always wanted to use them just never committed to it. This is the year!

[@CubexAnimationTv]

Hollywood Haunter Have fun! Just don't get slaughter house. ITS A BARGIN!

[@wolfpakproductions1031]

No sander...team Genna (sorry Chris) LOL! Awesome pumpkins!!!!

[@ronintennispro7708]

WoooHooo... @19:43 you said "Triple H" Pumpkins 😊... I know that stood for "Huge Hollywood Haunter" Pumpkins but I call you two "The Triple H..." Halloween's Hollywood Haunters... CHEERS Halloween Family 😊😀 !

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Absolutely :)

[@GarrettWiseman]

I think Martha Stewart would be the best pumpkin carver. Oh wait you said movie killers. I'm sure she killed someone and baked them into a cake or something. If anyone could do it, it would be her. lol

[@roligsjel]

Nice job, i want to do that too, so i'm asking a stupid question, what kind of foam is this? And how can i glue the pieces together eventually?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Just wanted to let you know we list some places to get big blocks of foam and how we glue them together in this video if your still interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHUoJSAqputarc

[@hausderalbtraume]

They look amazing

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks 🤗

[@hairymelon5551]

Great video, and thank you for sharing your expertise and great humour! I don't have the space or the materials to make these, but after seeing how much fun you both had making these, I so want to! Oh, and Dexter would carve up some interesting pumpkins, but as they'd end up in pieces inside bin bags in the sea (plus I've just remembered that was a TV series - duh), maybe Chucky with anything sharp would carve up some interestingly weird gourds. Baron Frankenstein would add bits of other flora and/or fauna and too many stalks, so he'd make some odd 'kins too. Oh, please make a Franken-pumpkin!!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Hairy Melon those would all make great pumpkin carvers and that is a good suggestion to make. we are just finishing some projects and hoping to get back to video making very soon. Thanks for the comment.

[@hairymelon5551]

Thank you! I am already looking forward to more of your videos. My family adore Hallowe'en and we are always looking for, developing or adapting ideas. We usually grow pumpkins but not this year, so we'll be making them somehow!

[@ldburgie]

You two are so awesome!

[@sammischroeder2854]

AMAZING!!! Where do you guys get your foam??

[@ModelWhatYouSee]

Did you ever find that out? They have links to amazon foam but it's like 25 bucks for a small block. i would love to find out where to source big pieces of foam like that!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Just wanted to let you know we list some places to get big blocks of foam in this video if your still interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHUoJSAqputarc

[@bronx15_82]

You should do a barn yard scent.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

As long as it wasn't too strong, wouldn't want the neighbors thinking we had a bunch of livestock at our house LOL! :)

[@gungagalunga7761]

I've read a lot of good suggestions for villainous carvers below... but don't rule out the original knife wielding psycho... Norman Bates!

[@grneyedbear]

My vote is for Hannibal Lechter. Not only would he carve a cool pumpkin but probably cook some one inside!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Hahaha! and then serve the pumpkin up with some fava beans

[@grneyedbear]

Look up Lotion by Greens keepers on KZbin

[@genahamstra9287]

those pumpkins are so awesome! can't wait to see them finished! :)

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks!

[@grneyedbear]

p.s. try using a propane torch to shape the pumpkin. worked great for us years ago for cave walls.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

thanks for the tip 😉

[@sharonshealinggarden4131]

Go team Jeana! No disc sander at this house

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Woo Hoo!!! Thanks Sharon :)

[@JOHNJ0HN9111]

holy huge pumpkin's guys lol

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Right?! :)

[@JOHNJ0HN9111]

YUP

[@kimberlysmith8122]

Cool

[@ChristeneSteffens]

Edward Scissor Hands of course. And it would be done in NO time! :)

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Yes Edward is a great choice!

[@PumpkinPails]

That is so cool! I wanna make one, but I live in a tiny apartment. I'd have to use it as a couch or something the rest of the year, since I don't have anywhere to store it, but who's complaining?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Foot Stool? ;)

[@StrengthandBeyond]

I have both but Team Jeena of course!

[@Floreypottery]

also for the carving grooves I would suggest some sort looped pottery tool that is sharp

[@HollywoodHaunter]

thanks for the idea, we use lots of different files and things but I will have to get us something like your talking about to try.

[@ann-mariemarino9567]

I just love your videos. Is there one showing the completed pumpkins?

[@ThatGuyGabeToo]

The giant pumpkins are looking amazing!!!!!!

[@latoddcamp1598]

mr13gabo lo

[@xray45]

Watching some of your videos for inspiration. I must say, Jena, love your knife skills BUT I have a disc sander soooooo I am for team Chris! Go Disc Sanders! (sounds like a haunt makers football team, The Disc Sanders). Keep up all the great videos. Love the updates on your new addition coming too.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks XRay!!!

[@EnchantedPartiesFL]

Love this! where do you all get your Styrofoam from?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We got ours off of Craigslist. I would check there first. People are either giving it away in the "Free" section or they have blocks for sale. Next I would look at online retailers. We have a local place called Foam Mart. You may have something in your area that has different available blocks. Last you can make your own by buying the 4x8 sheets and glueing (Great Stuff works the best) sections together to create the sizes you need

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Just wanted to let you know we list some places to get big blocks of foam in this video if your still interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHUoJSAqputarc

[@98rollins]

You should cut the top off one and hollow it out and carve a face, like a HUGE jack o lantern

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Great idea we did make some in this video if your still interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHUoJSAqputarc

[@thegoblintrader]

Humm how many divisions do pumpkins normally have??

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Good question. We bought a few different ones at the store and the just came up with our own divisions :)

[@Sandcem]

Leather-face would be the fastest pumpkin carver, maybe not the best. Jack the Ripper maybe? how about those pumpkins! seriously those are looking awesome.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Jack the Ripper is a good one!

[@karinahuska1317]

so cool guys!

[@Iamphuster]

I can't find any foam or polyfoam pumpkins larger than a foot... Where do you get them or how do you make them without having a giant pumpkin to use as the mold??

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Just wanted to let you know we list some places to get big blocks of foam in this video if your still interested making big pumpkins kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHUoJSAqputarc

Really awesome!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks!

[@SamanthaMoonCosplay]

These pumpkins are insane!! I love that hot wire you guys have, it's over the top. Did you make that? I have a little one I got from Amazon. 🎃

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Yes we made that we have a couple different power supplies to power it it but it works great. We also use soldering irons as our hot knives. Thank you

[@racheljusticeart-liveweddi7670]

Where do you get your foam? How did you make your Foam cuter?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Just wanted to let you know we list some places to get big blocks of foam in this video if your still interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHUoJSAqputarc

I think Carrie would be the best one

[@brooklyneventstudios4812]

Where do you get your foam from? So hard to find

[@jdroxford]

Brooklyn Event Studios I want to ask that question as well. in some videos I watched, pink insulation foam was used instead.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We have purchased it from places like Foam Mart but we have been fortunate to find several free finds on craigslist and Facebook.

[@jdroxford]

You are lucky then. I try my best to be in Facebook marketplace and Craigslist but haven't seen any so far. I work in a grocery store, I have been collecting Styrofoam pumpkins all of sizes for front door decor.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

@@jdroxford That's really cool does it look like you have small pumpkin patch going on?

Team Chris and power tools

[@calibur3d]

What did you use for glue when gluing them together?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We used spray foam to glue them together

[@superkidsnd2458]

good work very impressive

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you!

[@waderue]

the sent of blood lol

[@armandoepifani5394]

Hey, where do you guys find those big chunks of foam? Not having much luck here in the Bay Area.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We got our blocks off a craigslist ad. I know you can order them online but they are a bit pricey. If you use the 4'x8' sheet foam you can cut and glue together the pieces to make blocks.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

what do you call that tool that you used to shave into the foam? (15:00)? Pete

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Curry brush, for horse grooming
