wish more men was like voltaire. dead funny, a tad nuts and amazing with arts and crafts/diy 😍

[@annaburtenheim5310]

Ginger Kubicz i know, I'm not exactly sane ☻

[@pervysagechuck2771]

I am NOT insane... And neither are any of the other 27 personalities living inside my head!!!

@Thomas R: Hey, that's my line, nyao! {disappears with a grin}

[@KreeZafi]

If only he wasn't older than my dad and lived on a different continent than I do, oh man.... ;)

[@1492irina]

"Swiggity swag the nightmare stag" Oh, Hannibal fandom, I love you so...

[@billybones956]

At least Orville can get nice and stiff for the ladies.

[@BonesofStarlight]

Too dry, would likely break.

[@Peppershaker]

Alice Bones baby keep the tip

[@fbauefigad]

Mr. Voltaire, would you be kind enough to make an episode of the lair focused on bathroons? That would be lovely. Hug Hug

[@PrincessNinja007]

batatahans At least you won't be constipated!

[@ofcatsandcrepes2080]

Seeing Orville cry is so hard, he's such a strong person and it's so different seeing him this vulnerable!

[@Kny8]

You just amped up your awesomeness factor by speaking Japanese and cosplaying

[@PhotosAnonymous]

my favorite part was at the end when he says, "Uhhg! THAT AINT RIGHT!"

[@thecrowsflyaway3473]

Welp now that i know about Gaffs my house is gonna get real weird

[@irunamuk]

Andrew Crane Ooooh post pictures!!

[@DiscordRules]

Andrew Crane TRUTH

[@nyxshadowhawk]

This episode should be called "Voltaire Visits the Mystery Shack." So many episodes about taxidermy! I always thought Orville was a rubber Halloween decoration. Probably shouldn't say that in front of him. Kirins are very cool! They're unicorns who know the darkest depths of your soul and if you're evil, they will run you through and impale you on their sharp horns.

[@Dragonrose36]

"I shaved the deer." Oh, is that what they're calling it now?

[@jeanvu]

"And I painted it black." - Voltaire

[@Angel_Miette]

You can make your own paper mache creatures. Dan Reeder at Paper Mache Dragons has some awesome tips on how to make things out of paper mache. I'd love to see what kind of creatures you would come up with... maybe some evil little band mates. ;-)

[@severomales5824]

It's Almost 2 am but if I see Gothic homemaking. Hell I will watch it no matter what

[@severomales5824]

Toby Rogers nice ^w^

[@chloegardinerharvey8764]

Cancels sleep must watch new episode of Gothic homemaking ! ah love it ! 😊 btw awesome jacket !

[@theburgerbrains]

This series keeps getting better and better! I love it :D

[@RayMasters03]

I live your taxidermy alot. But it just seem so busy well too busy for me at lest but I still love it.

[@SleepywitchVibes]

Love this show/mini series man!

[@spasticpug5209]

I loved that sideshow guy He was quite the character

[@brittc3996]

I'm actually super impressed with the taxidermy project! That looked like a HUGE amount of work- and turned out SO well! Also, I love the "vegan" alternatives- really creative stuff from amazing artists!! Can't wait for the next episode!!

[@suburbanthing]

Thank you Sir for your generosity in sharing information about constructing such stunning pieces that I would be delighted to display in my home. Genius.

[@citrouille6642]

You're so creative! This is my favorite show on YT.

[@zaknafein_aconite]

This is now officially my very favorite show.

[@DominoPivot]

Ok, I'm no goth so I'm watching this whole series mostly out of curiosity (and because I like you, haha) but this episode was awesome. That deer head? I love it!

[@007ninetailedfox]

YES! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE EPISODES!

[@alec6583]

Bwahahaha you got a little heat for the taxidermy bats last episode, but that just turned out to be a warm-up. Excellent episode, as always. I feel like they're getting better? I love the bits where you're attacked by hottie ghosts, vampires, zombies, ghouls and the like. Seeing you whip out that sword and talk shit in Japanese had me cracking up.

[@Jamie-dq8fu]

"This way to the Great Egress" Oh gods yes. Now I have tarantella stuck in my head

[@Charja02]

My experience with a Gaff was seeing a Jack-elope in a gas station on a road trip. I thought Jackelopes were real until high school 😭

[@rebekahnight4991]

you should come to Canada and go to Dundas,Ontario. The Cabinet of Curiosities is gorgeous!

[@hauntedbarbiedoll]

this is my fave episode. I've always been amazed by gaffes, I'm a j-horror geek and you put the slit mouthed woman in the video, and I see your makeup skills are improving booboo you Killin it

[@TheSuperDerp]

The kirin is amazing! Bravo!

[@decepticonskyshock279]

Got me looking at gaffs now, found a neat looking Homunculus.

[@DevinS.]

i swear the after credits scenes make me want more because their so god damn funny

[@kkeegan32]

Love the KIRIN that you made! I thought you were going to get that first charry looking dessicated woman for Orville but you didn't....AWWWWWWW. : ( Next time you are in southern California near the Buena Park area you should check out #Abracadaver in Fullerton. l'm sure Larry Carr would be happy to set Orville up. : ) ♡♡♡

[@SuitePee0]

This was a really good episode and I think by far my favorite! I look forward to the next one!

[@pyrusperseus]

This is incredible just to see everything he can think of! Absolutely stunning

[@kingcornelius865]

You're so inspiring, I've loved this episode the most!!!

[@cazangelcat]

Brilliant I just love your Gothic Home Making Series & this one is my favourite thus far. Looking forward to lots more hopefully. This episode is 5 stars for sure⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love taxidermy but have never tried it yet myself. Looks like you had a lot of fun filming & creating this show. Cheers from Australia.🍷💀🍷💀

[@msbaxter]

The Kirin turned out amazing!!! Great episode, as always, thank you for putting so much effort in this series! ♥

[@Lofulamingo.]

wow this was a pretty amazing episode!

[@mostrandomguyable]

I love this series. Keep the videos coming.

[@Czarina888777]

My non goth, traditional, Mexican, non english speaking husband and I, are binge watching your videos. He said “Hey, does Home Depot sponsor him? I said I don’t think so. He said “Well they definitely should.” And I agree. Love the homemaking vids. 🙌🏽😊💀

[@LadyAnezasLair]

♥Love it♥ Really hope you get the support you need to continue with season 3... inspiration for the boudoir, the throne room and hell's kitchen would be brilliant. Look forward to each episode, thank you.

[@princessjime]

かわいい、じゃないよ 😁😁😁😁 another great episode!

[@tinawegner407]

Great episode, glad you did a season 2!

[@Flame4Moonlight]

Best move i have ever seen with Samurai sword ;D i spill my coffee...never saw it coming :D

[@tjmario64]

So freaking glad to know he has a KZbin channel, and even better that he has Gothic aesthetics to his channel! Freaking brilliant!

[@MasterThomas]

Love this show! Always look forward to new episodes. :D

[@lestranged]

When the duckbill platypus was first discovered, many people thought it was a gaff. They even brought a live one back to England and people were still looking for stitches or something that had created this silly fake animal.

[@pervysagechuck2771]

Would have been funnier if someone had gotten nailed by one of the poisonous back spurs on a platypus' back legs!

[@FalseKings]

that Kirin turned fucking amazing!! each episode of this shows just makes me more mesmerized by how awesome your lair is turning!! also kuchisake onna x orville is my new favorite pairing.

[@kefka989]

I'm always glad to see you heading to Cons. Thats really a great way to show your fans you care is by showing up a cons where they naturally collect. Lord knows its always the highlight of our Realms Con over here.

[@RubenPheles]

Nice episode, love the series.

[@Daystar311]

I've been watching this whole decorating series and am really liking it alot, even though it's not my normal choice of video. But, I love the gothic look you're choosing. t's got a certain type of beauty to it. It's also fun to see the places you're shopping from! Very cool. Very enjoyable!!

[@Aster_Risk]

I love Ye Olde Curiosity Shop!

[@victoriawalker3891]

Lair Voltaire great video i love the deer

[@kristinabathory8870]

Watching you drill into that animal almost made me cry..... Almost!

[@Zombitious]

Waited all day for this.

[@janeeyre6158]

Your DIY are always amazing!

[@trdowden5326]

This is my favorite show (so far). Your kurai kirin was AMAZING! My late brother would have loved your show--and would have gone CRAZY over the kirin! We were both monster kids!

[@TurboChevelle]

Woah I was just at a bar with a Chris Andres piece! I was so close to stealing it.

[@pinelosbreak8550]

that kurai Kirin is one of the best thing you ever made, good work :O

[@magnum1165]

Good job Voltaire, that's one sexy beast you made P.S. that's the biggest glue gun I've ever seen

[@JeiFaeKlubs]

This was the best episode yet!

[@DrVein]

So many great ideas. Love love love the show

[@AnnieNorthman89]

Love!! I plan on going to Dapper Cadaver one day. I can't express the love I have for that place. So many awesome oddities

[@KHANIMATION]

Great episode!

[@theminerone]

This series has soo many ideas, love it.

[@laineydoodles9297]

I didn't know you cosplayed, Voltaire! I love your show, as always. I really wish you had a show back when I was eleven years old, as stated in another video.

[@Dilaughosaurus]

Love your Kirin!! She's so cool! Great episode!

[@WillfulVisions]

This might me my favorite episode yet!

[@sabrinalocke2846]

I heard Voltaire speaking in Japanese and I couldn't stop giggling. This is why I'm subbed. This was amazing 😂😂😂😂

[@dawndelosmuertos4025]

Totally awesome! My bro-in-law, the Great White Hunter, has about 20 deer, elk and moose heads ( his family eats everything he kills, so everybody chill). He sends me some of the small antlers and I use them in jewelry making and wand making. Looks like he better pack up that moose head for me!

[@spasticpug5209]

As a stopmotion fan I approve this episode

[@dicegant3642]

Kirins have always been one of my favorite mythological creatures - only trumped by Dragons! Especially after watching Count D's Petshop of Horror. Which oddly enough that vendor booth at the steampunk convention kind of reminded me of various 'pets' one could acquire from Count D. Beautiful craftsman ship on the final product. But with an almost lifelike Kirin.. and a nightmare one at that.. I'd be weary of its powers!

[@8loodyrain]

Nice, such a good episode.

[@ghoulsblood]

Must see bloopers from episodes!! Lol

[@katiemayes2904]

Love how they brought kuchisake onna into this....

[@NomenEstLegio]

Captain my Captain, I loved every second of this :)

[@culinarygurly987]

My favorite mainstream Gaff is a Jackalope

[@Natty_lew0]

Loved it as always

[@AhriOfAstora]

As much as I like you I always want to cry when I see stuffed animals

[@powerpuff4ever]

Thank you for assuring ethical acquisition of the animals!

[@JessiCat1980]

I love your shows! This inspires me to make some sort of GAF too, even if it's just with paper clay n shit. 👍❤

[@Brutallll]

Wow, quedo genial, exelente trabajo, felicidades

[@BahstX]

I...didn't know you spoke Anime, Voltaire...LOL.....SUGOI!

[@gizmolisa6978]

what a gothtastic piece of art!!!!

[@kakashisgirlrox]

No idea what I'm going to do when this series is over 😩🖤

[@TerrancePryor]

All of the homemaking....to you!!!

[@maguritegeist6231]

Awake...... So creative But..... Wouldn’t want to know his nightmares.....😳

[@charlenawright568]

Sweet Slitmouth Woman cosplay!

[@AlyssaTalenti]

I fucking love this show

[@funghoul2199]

I love this series so much

[@chrisstone3455]

In Bavaria where I'm from there's a mythical creature called a Wolpi which is made in various guises

[@Druidcelticwolf026]

I love that episode!

[@TuckerSP2011]

Best show on KZbin!

[@cjjenson8212]

I rewatched this, hahahaha! All I could think of is do you absolutely know what a gaff is in 20/20?

[@virtuevelour5106]

This was so good

[@suburbohemian]

[@lindsayantwine1097]

That shade of Loreal hair color is the exact shade I used for years! lol It definitely has strong purple/bluish tones. Which is why I liked it. It doesn't have a lot of staying power, though. I found another brand that lasts longer and doesn't wash out so quickly. :)

[@persephoneblack888]

I make little gaff fairies with chrink plastic, paint, and mini skeletons and faux hair! :)

[@geanvelveteen5301]

Hail is great and there is one in Cincy too. If you come to Louisville go to Unorthodox
