Halloween Pop-Up Skull with GLOWING Eyes!

[@double_digit_life.9268]

I can't believe I've never thought of a drawer slider for pop ups before! This is genius!

[@jbponzi1]

That’s what I use. Plus, mine are pneumatic and the force on the slides is a bit more and they hold up well.

[@markweir2343]

I used aluminum bar stock and it always has a tendency to pop out of the rollers. Needed to build a few more of these guys, trying the method next

[@markweir2343]

​@@jbponzi1pnuematic? Is it faster??

[@jbponzi1]

@@markweir2343 yes. The Ghoul Friends pop up fast and then slowly retract. Take a look at videos of those in the Mansion. Sadly, I can’t post photos of my builds here and am not interested in video production.

[@michaelmeneghetti5794]

As usual, your tutorials are so very creative and practical. I had not considered a drawer slide for a vertical or horizontal movement mechanism. Always a pleasure seeing your new ideas on KZbin.

[@costumesforalloccasions]

Good job, Derek and Errie acres!

[@peterheynen]

Using a ball bearing drawer slide for this is a brilliant idea! Thanks for this tutorial.

[@VanOaksProps]

You bet!

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Ok . . . This is a great build!!

[@JettBlast]

You never fail to impress! I love learning all these great skills from you, your talent and ability to teach makes this channel so much fun to watch!

[@VanOaksProps]

Thank you!

[@theloststoryteller9288]

Super awesome tutorials!!! Love your videos. Can't wait for the next one!

[@David-mp6vc]

Very nice. For the followers of this channel the time has arrived to show off your projects!

[@jerryolding7749]

I like it really clean and moves great. I am working on a 3 way popup for a tombstone of 3 stooges. one up and 2 sideways.

[@jessicapilgreen262]

This seems so simple. You make everything look easy! Dare I say that I'm motivated to go build something???

[@rhysnybo3420]

The mechanicism is absolutely a very cool make for this, the build is pretty cool and absolutely like the animictronic Halloween prop pop up

[@krishawes]

Lovely work!

[@angeladunagin-sellers410]

This is awesome! Thank you for being such an inspiration. 😊

[@VanOaksProps]

Thanks for watching!

I'd like to second your shout-out to Eerie Acres Cemetery. I based my hearse design with skulls-and-bones infinity box on his creations.

[@EerieAcresCemetery]

That's great do you have a video of it?

[@ghostofautumnwood6379]

@@EerieAcresCemetery I have a video that focuses on making the infinity box, but it has a few shots of the hearse. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZycdIWcqMx8g6c Hope to see more videos on your channel.

Awesome, Halloween prop idea 🦇🎃🎈🧙‍♀️

[@dscheepy]

Awesome, thanks for sharing 💪

[@EerieAcresCemetery]

Great build as usual!!! Thanks so much for the shout out!!! Im embarrassed to say out of all the things I've used the draw slide for doing a pop up never occurred to me! Great idea!!

[@VanOaksProps]

Thanks for the idea!

[@KrazeeKraftZ]

I was looking for something simple to add to my graveyard, thanks. I'll convert everything to metric before uploading to my channel 😁

[@shannondh83]

I love those eyes!

[@cindydavis1443]

That looks fantastic!

[@alankeith7866]

That turned out wicked cool!!!

[@wadetomczyk8043]

That's a great idea nicely done

[@VanOaksProps]

Thank you!

[@AIM54A]

Another great prop.

[@anaki45wild]

Awesome 👌

[@VanOaksProps]

Thanks!

[@AidanRobinson-kl4so]

These videos are so entertaining keep it up

[@VanOaksProps]

Thanks, will do!

[@mryorkielover]

Pretty cool

[@jasonhilbert6369]

Are you selling a stl of the piece you printed for the bottom of the skull by any chance? Great video!

[@VanOaksProps]

Sorry for the delayed reply. Here's a link to my file: drive.google.com/file/d/1Ss6y9KdISwy8qMZ0RttSUPf4JduxwmKo/view?usp=sharing

[@teresa6775]

You're brilliant !!

[@VanOaksProps]

Thank you! 😃

[@67nearmint]

I'm wondering if something like a solenoid could work as an actuator for a quick poo-up jump scare prop.

[@VanOaksProps]

Possibly, but I can't say for certain.

[@czatman6257]

This is awesome! Can't wait to build one. Unless I missed it, how did you attach the hands to the tombstone? I'm guessing you used a heat gun to be able to shape them.

[@VanOaksProps]

The hands had small holes in them that was perfect for some screws.

[@ckjedi]

What step bit do you recommend? Sizes and prices seen to vary pretty wildly.

[@VanOaksProps]

I bought an inexpensive set of 5 that way I have a bit for every potential application. There's a link in the video description.

[@ronmicheals8329]

Nice🎉

[@thewinonono]

Great vid as usual! Looks like that motor is no longer available, do you have a recommendation for an alternative?

[@VanOaksProps]

[@thewinonono]

Ty!

[@DJMovit]

So is that the 7-1/2" aluminum bar attached to the 3D printed skull adapter? Trying to 3d print a similar adapter.

[@VanOaksProps]

Correct. Here's a link to mine: drive.google.com/file/d/1Ss6y9KdISwy8qMZ0RttSUPf4JduxwmKo/view?usp=sharing

[@DJMovit]

@@VanOaksProps thank you

[@markweir2343]

I was going to look around for a way to make it pop up quicker like on yhe haunted mansion ride, but i think that's air driven.

[@VanOaksProps]

That's correct

[@hardiehardley]

Barring your original pop up, what unique variants on this have you seen?

[@VanOaksProps]

This version is probably the most unique. The others just use different bar mechanisms.

[@jerryolding7749]

what is the part number of motor?

[@VanOaksProps]

Everything is linked in the video description

[@scottstryker4107]

Can't find the link for the motor?
