You are the true king of Halloween Allen keep up the great work

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Im no king, just a concerned citizen of Halloween!

[@RoseKindred]

I just randomly came across this video. This prop statue is neat. It reminds me of an artist I studied, Albert Szukalski, who recreated the Last Supper in a similar fashion. One thing I learned, you can use old football pads (a thrift store is a cheap place for one) to create shoulders, just put some cling wrap or vaseline to allow for reuse. The artist used live people to put the mixture over for the shapes.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

yes, Ive seen his work- just different materials. I feel like shoulder pads would make them too beefy, I prefer slender reaper types myself.

[@Almajbryan]

This is an excellently executed project with simple instructions, simple materials, and can be easily completed by DIYs. Your skills and how you simplify a rather complex project are impressive. Now, I am going to attempt recreating the canvas version. THANK YOU!

[@lindasnyder6879]

This was just absolutely fascinating! I so want to create now---well done Maestro!

[@lindasnyder6879]

I am most encouraged by the canvas statue as there is so much more reality in the imagination of the macabre. I loved the shading process the most. Spraying upwards for inner shadow and downwards for the light. The teal was the icing of color, gave the statue a look of superiority. I just have to try this one day---on my bucket list as all supplies and having to own special crafting tools cost. Can I borrow yours? Kidding.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Please do!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

you should give it a shot! I build enough things that tools build up and allow me to make more and more things.

[@shayinla1942]

I tried making one of these on a smaller scale using fabric stiffener. Needless to say it was a fail (I live in humid Louisiana). I wish I would have realized you could use calk to stiffen the fabric!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Sorry to hear that

[@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!

[@edbouman5013]

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]

[@itzjustmejazzy]

I thank you so much for making this video. You truly inspired me and my daughter to make ones for our yards. This is my very first actually prop I have ever made. I switched it up a bit though I used pvc elbows for his shoulders and I used the head of an old ground breaker I had lying around. On mine I felt his chest needed some help so I used the rib cage off an old broken skeleton I had. He came out absolutely amazing! Thank you so much again for being an amazing inspiration for us!!!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

awesome, sounds like you really beefed it up!

[@itzjustmejazzy]

@@StiltbeastStudios I did !!! I wish you could see him. He came out so amazing and I owe it all to you. Thank you again for being such an inspiration!

[@itzjustmejazzy]

@@StiltbeastStudios is that you on TikTok ? And if so would you mind if I tagged you in the comments ? I have a video of him up on there.

[@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

[@kevinupham2526]

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

I am not the "leave my comment below" kinda chick HOWEVER... You sir, have opened a seriously Bad a$$ door for me! (plugs in heat gun) How have I never seen this with the underlay foam!?!? I ve had a roll of that in the shop for a long time (dug it out of the "one day" corner) waiting on something cool to do with it. Now ill probably be going to buy more, because of the now VAST array of ideas you've opened. (Yep, off to the Depot! ;) just wanted you to know, you've inspired someone today and I appreciate you!

randomized eye flashing in the hollow one. They make a reflective clear coat you can spray onto items so make an eye shaped mask and spray the back of the inside of the hood to just get the eyes so a flashing light down in the neck would hit the eyes and make an empty hood look out at you.

[@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.

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
