DIY 7ft Grim Reaper Halloween Prop

[@lindamoser6317]

Fantastic job!!! Wish I had someone who loved Halloween like me and would put together decorations like u!! Love this idea and the fact it has an appearance of something real standing there instead of cheap and kiddy looking.

[@lindamoser6317]

@Kevin Edwards Thank u Kevin and I do just that.

[@NicholasStansbery]

This turned out amazing. What kind of cloth is this?

[@h4ll0w33npumk1n]

Its incredible! I love the ghost of Christmas future.

[@USBCablez]

That looks really good. Nice work

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Thanks. It might be coming for you

[@jodivirgilio8181]

That looks terrific! Thanks for sharing, your directions were great.

[@careismatik3099]

Nice work! Thanks for showing all the work around....sometimes that takes me forever!

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

You bet!

[@johnnyphive4083]

How cool is this? Nice work!!!!

[@Bluebelle51]

the only things I would have done differently is I would have added a skull face inside the hood, with the possible addition of light up eyes and of course, it can't be the grim reaper without his scythe

[@SPCLPONY]

I found just the perfect hidden skeletal face prop at Lowes the other day. It's just the hooded head, with black veil hiding a skeleton face behind. When activated by sound or light, a battery operated voice box says a few creepy lines while laughing. The face lights up from behind the veil and it's eyes flash in red! I plan to build this into a reaper like in this video!

[@Bluebelle51]

@@SPCLPONY I found a "fossil" of a pterodactyl at the thrift store, I'm using that to top the scythe for my reaper this year. It's a resin replica, so I'm giving it a metallic finish, filling the eye sockets with hot glue and putting some of those dollar tree lights in the eye holes before I mount it on a broom handle.

Looks great, Halloween is fun.

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

It really is!

[@donniey.8891]

Looks awesome

[@the80sdreamschotel87]

Very creative. I like it 👌👏👏

[@gem_femboy6761]

Cool could you tell me what light you used please and those blinking white lights in the background

[@yu-ger-bloob-highway3521]

Very cool! Hood part looks a little too big though

[@SniperSam]

is what I thought

[@Raynestorm1968]

Nice video thank you. I see you don't reply to anyone who asks questions about your video, which is kinda sad. Wish you had shown each step from start to finish though. And a material list would have been handy too. I will try to copy this someday, but with a more proportionate head and hands.

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I have a lot of stuff going on and forgot about this video honestly. I just make them on the side from time to time.

[@devalm9492]

This is amazing, I plan on making this for Halloween this year, will start here is a few weeks!! Sad that this video uploaded after Halloween last year, or else I would have done it.

[@nene....]

This is awesome! Love it..... thanks for sharing!

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Thanks for watching! That is more important to me.

[@NicholasStansbery]

This turned out amazing. What kind of cloth did you use where to get it?

[@Spacesprocketz]

Thanks! This will be my weekend project with my nephew!

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Have fun! Hope it turns out great.

[@sandramika6710]

Awesome I so need to make this one halloween

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

You should! Get started!

[@maryannjackson8114]

@@MakerMaxCorbett maybe next year

[@PS2Steve]

Awesome 👏 how does the easy sand hold up outdoors?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Honestly it has been good outside. The wind was the biggest issue as it will blow the thing around facing the house and not the road. Also storing it is a pain as it is in a hot attic on it's side. That is where the most damage has come from.

[@shonteshields7758]

can i wear a regular adult orange witch Halloween costume with orange ribbon belt,and some pumpkin light up necklace to go trick or treating with kids to get some free candy about October 31st,around the neighborhood,and can I use a plastic bag for Halloween candy of trick or treating.

[@jacobvillegas4328]

It looks awesome but the hands are small compared to the rest

[@My_Mell.]

Wow tysm this looks amazing!

[@danthomson1182]

That conduit in the wood holds up the light fixture well, its strong enough or did i miss a step?

[@ohsnapphotoboothrentalsale1810]

How many sheets did you use? Trying to do this for Halloween but I don’t see a list of products you used.

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I used 2 bed sheets but use whatever you want. 2 canvas drop cloths would be more durable but heavier. Good Will should have bed sheets.

[@shonteshields7758]

Why not just spray starch?

[@ezrawilson6986]

Fantastic!

[@yourselfdotcomlol]

Forget the heat shrink the first time? Black stuff seemed to appear magically. Lol. Hate when that happens 😄

[@joerymer498]

Max,if you redo this vid for Halloween,don’t forget to show you kept the head loops in line with zip ties and your have to “Carefully,”Heat gun the dollar store skeleton hands to form them into gestures.I only know because I’m faithfully following your tutorial as we speak.

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Thanks. I will make other videos at some time, but not this one.

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

Love it!!!

[@AdamDaley1]

Nice sticker on the tool box :)

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Some guy gave that to me.

[@nonoyobeezewax9527]

Neat idea, but where's the skull?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

What you can't see makes it scarier.

[@user-tv3ej4rf2u]

Awesome!

[@TheGreatBlumpkin]

Is that Kenny from South Park?

[@noonenoze2000]

What did you use for the cloth? and what size is material ? Please

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

An old drop cloth and bed sheets. Just keep adding more if you need more sheets. Any size works.

[@elviss13]

super cool!!

[@elviss13]

Really like the led flicker bulbs. Made lanterns with them last year

[@carlosserrano7132]

What kind off paint did you use ? Regular latex paint I'm just afraid will crack unless the easy sand prevents that

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I used what ever paint I had laying around, water based house paint interior. It has cracked a little but pieces have not fallen off from moving it around.

[@carlosserrano7132]

Maker Max Corbett cool that's definitely something I'm doing this year , want to e not Halloween even more this time around . Knowing what you know based on yours, would you use the sand again or just straight up paint ?

[@sammy60164]

Does the "monster mud" cloth stay somewhat flexible for storage?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Yes it does. There is not a thick coat on it so it moves like a wet blanket all the time.

[@grm9121]

Dude u is a genious

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I will tell him you said so.

[@danielhaney1097]

it was realy cool. but there should have been a skull inside the hood😁

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I did not have one. The only thing I bought was the large flickering light. a skull that size is hard to find and probably $20.

[@kendidion3141]

Looks great, two quick questions. It looks like you added another piece of PEX for the shoulder/chest area, correct? Also, you used two pieces of cloth, one for the body and one for the hood/cloak, right?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I did use 2 pieces of cloth as I did not have 1 single piece big enough. If you are buying cloth it is cheaper to get 2 smaller pieces plus I think it is easier to work with. I am not sure about the PEX, but do what you think needs to happen to make yours look great!

[@lisagast4616]

Now what kind of lightbulb did you use to make its flick like that

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I bought it at Home Depot in the Halloween section. Called LED Flicker Light or something.

[@devonlopez9959]

What did you use for the hood and head??

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Just random cloth that I had and an old canvas drop cloth.

[@williamjoyner3759]

Nice.

[@1FASTSS11]

What kind of strobe lights are you using in the background? I am looking to do something similar in my yard?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

They were purchased from the Christmas light emporium. Search strobes on their site.

[@craigpiatt1136]

What you use for the motion trigger

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Nothing, it just stays on all the time at night.

[@DrPester847]

what is the music called at the end of the video?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I am not sure. It is all just free youtube music to add to videos.

[@beca198]

Awesome job but he needs a syth

[@christianmanzanares1654]

where is his scathe?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I have one, left it off on the video! Boo

[@kova1577]

I’m going to put some of there’s in the woods near by in some sketchy places to hopefully mess with anyone who passes

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Oh yeah! fantastic

[@TheLadyWoreBlack73]

What kind of tubing did you use for the head frame?

[@bigd5567]

It looked like PEX tubing its a water line should be able to find at any home store.

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I used PEX from Home Depot or Lowes. Cheap and easy to bend with heat. You can also use regular PVC but will require a lot more heating.

[@TheLadyWoreBlack73]

Thank you so much. I made a 9 foot tall once several years back using an old xmas tree and chicken wire. It looked great at the time but I'm hoping to do a better version this year.

[@danmays6559]

Can anyone link me to where he got these hands?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Home Depot or other halloween store.

[@sub7design]

Must be Don Trump version lol. Them hands tiny. Super cool overall though. Totally wanna copy this and try to make a huge one with huge hands. Thanks for the video!

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

Huge hands would be scary too.

Can I make me a diy skeleton costume with some Black skirt,some skeleton t shirt,some Black/white striped tights, some black wig with white highlights, some skeleton Halloween makeup,some light up skeleton headband,some light up skeleton necklace,a skeleton wings and a skeleton glove to go trick or treating with kids to get some free candy,about October 31st,around the neighborhood,and can I use a skeleton trick or treat tote bag for Halloween candy of trick or treating.

[@bigsad4767]

Just buy one

[@williamdavanaria4727]

Why buy one when you can make it and probably cheaper and better looking?

[@xcedtrickx]

For more than 100$?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

The ones you buy are not 7ft tall or are a lot of money and made like crap. Plus I love making things from stuff laying around. I bought nothing for this project, I had it all.

[@guymussori6457]

What kind of cloth did you use to cover the framework?
