Cant wait to try this, but mine will be 9' tall! I have gallon cans of pl185, and it should work great with the textured blanket fabric i fished from a knitting companys trash. ( after asking and recieving permission)! The fabric has been mainly used as cat bedding for winter shelters for homeless cats. Now u can finally do a great halloween! Thanks for all the help!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Sounds great! go for it!

[@EricScheck]

Awesome Allen! I've been watching your stuff since 2013 (late to the party) and have made many of the things you've demonstrated over the years. These statues will make an fantastic addition to my cemetery. Many thanks!

Id love to see pictures when you are finished

Love the sound effects provided by Mother Nature in Texas! These were definitely less messy and faster drying than the Monster Mud predecessors.

Awesome! How well do the buckets of concrete anchor the props against day to day winds; are they heavy enough or do they require lateral support?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

very well, concrete is a great anchor and they dont have much to grab the wind

[@chrisdillenbeck3266]

Damn! Great work and awesome inspiration with all you do! I had this idea of one of these using a burlap, cement mache. Chicken wire base with one role of burlap dragged through a mortar slurry and draped over. My concerns are storage and weight. Could be flakey when dry if it's not wrung out enough. Thanks again for all the energy you put in. Know that you are spawning tons more in the minions watching.

Some said he put a list of supplies so we don't have to keep watching the video to go back and write down all the supplies that you need to make it. That would be my only suggestion but I love him and I'd love to see a video about making a witch for Halloween. I'm amazed at what you can do and I'm having a blast making them.

[@ooboo4851]

It;s a little extra work but if you want to give it a fuller torso I loosely wrap chicken wire around the wooden stand and shoulders and just staple it to the wood.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

youd have to pay me to use chicken wire...blood every time lol. I also like the look of the shoulders. I have done it other ways, but these I like.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

yes a canvas drop cloth/tarp- the skull was from home depot I believe.

[@whitecrow923]

I've been having a hard time finding tyhe polyethylene foam sheet with a width as large as 4ft. Where did you buy yours?

[@raymondlibert9861]

Amazing

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kargandarr]

Could the body have been made from old torso models that a store no longer uses? Also, MinWax spray polyurethane seals foam against the effects of spray paint. My big question is: Why is everything in the video mirror imaged?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

yes you could use a mannequin, but they are much harder to get ahold of. it would seal it, but there was no need for it so why add cost. and its mirrored because front facing cameras do that.

[@TrueBrit1]

Yes, yes, I know, health and safety. Pfft, I love the way you do things in such a carefree and haphazard way; no mask, protective clothing or anything really. A bit like me, I don't think about any of that stuff too much. And it always turns out so good. Good stuff Allen! Are you still in Texas? The landscape doesn't look too 'Texasy' to me, but what do I know!

[@heidim6468]

Instead of using white spray paint have you tried silver would that work and what kind of stone paint are you using?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Heidi, if you watch the video I dont use a stone paint, I make a stone look with spray paint. I would not use silver on a stone statue, it would look more metallic.

[@brucemoose9792]

Bet you got a Harley in the back.

[@Zameion]

Wood monster mud rather than loctite also work?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

yes, but it would not be waterproof and it would be 5 times heavier

[@killingmachine007]

Awesome video! Does the loctite have a hardening effect like monster mud to keep the form of the canvas solid? I plan on making two and want to use these for many Halloweens to come! I ask because the canvas one looks like the fabric has some give after it has dried with the loctite already having been applied. I look forward to your response, Thank you! P.S. can you provide a list of all items used for the canvas reaper? 💀

[@WonkoTSane]

Are there any fire hazard concerns with the foam? I would be hesitant to use it in an indoor haunt.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

its floor underlayment, so its meant to go in a home or under hardwood flooring. its flammable, but most things are flammable. I have never had an issue with it from inspectors. It has less mass than a plastic garbage can, and those are also toxic when burning and flammable, so I feel its in the same boat.

[@abelromero4373]

Awesome wor

[@StiltbeastStudios]

great commen

[@jimirwin7045]

Why not use black polyethylene ?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Home depot no longer carries black jack underlayment. I try to use things that are easily accessible to folks.

[@charlesblack2523]

Very good looking Halloween props 👍🏼

[@geoseward]

On the cloth statue, I saw where you used Loctite but I must have missed where you added the Liquid Nails to watercoat it? By any chance can you list the various colors that you used on the cloth statue.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

I used the locktite and liquid nails interchangeably- they serve the same purpose. I just used a black as a base, then a gray, then teal. really simple.

[@geoseward]

Al love watching your channel! You make some of the best Halloween things! The only problem I have with your work, is you never wear protection when spray painting, and at the rate you are going, you are going to have severe breathing problems when you get older! You should really start wearing a respirator when painting or when working with some of the chemicals you use!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

This is now on the top of my Halloween "to do" list !! Thank you for the great idea !

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Sweet- go make a few- make an army!

[@LoreleiEdwards]

Just FYI, but you don't really need to cut a circle for the head, as all you need to do, when you've folded it in four, is cut little slits along the fold lines. As in an X, because then the head just pops through it, but also the triangular parts that poke up can look sort of like a neck or collar. Hope you like my suggestion

[@geoseward]

I am going to be leaving my statues outside in the elements and at the end of the video you stated that they were somewhat waterproof since they had been treated with liquid nails. Would the addition of Loctite to join the individual canvas pieces together help make the statue water proof or would you suggest an additional water proof coating to achieve that.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

if they are left outside all year then Id hit them with concrete water sealer... Ive been using that al ot lately www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-PREMIUM-1-gal-Wet-Look-Sealer-98501/202263927
