Making a Halloween Graveyard Crypt - Life Size Cemetery Mausoleum Prop

We make a Halloween crypt mausoleum façade for The Winchester Mystery House haunted house attraction for Halloween 2022. This haunted cemetery crypt prop will be a spooky and creepy walk-in tomb with a projection in the door way and will be placed in their scary Halloween graveyard. This video shows the entire building process with all the footage we were able to capture of this life size crypt tomb. Be sure to share with your other Halloween lover friends and let us know what decoration projects you may be working on.

That fit in just fine at the graveyard of Winchester house. Great job 👍.. pex

[@vendright]

I love this

[@Kendrix_76]

This is absolutely incredible. We do up Halloween big time at my house. Last year, I REALLY wanted the hearse they had at Home Depot. So expensive though.. I figured I'd MAKE one instead. lol. All totaled it probably cost more than the plastic one. But it was a fun build. My son, this year, said. "we should make a mausoleum!".. lol. This'll probably be a project for next year. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

If you enjoyed yourself and learned some things I think it's worth it. Plus I' sure it is way better than the store one. Thanks Ken

[@Kendrix_76]

@@HollywoodHaunter Oh.. mine is definitely better. lol. When I was putting it up in the yard, the house across the street from me had an open house. I had dozens of people looking at it and asking me questions about it. TWO older people who grew up in other countries both recounted stories of how their parents/grandparents were carried to their final resting place in a hearse that looked very much like mine. I'll take that as a supreme compliment.

[@jameycollins725]

Holy smokes! I would die to have one of these in my backyard! Looks so Hollywood professional! It would probably cost about a thousand to diy but about $20k thousand to buy online or at one of the large Holloween haunters conventions like Transworld or Midwest.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks for the compliment ☺️

For a Granite speckled look spray an airbrush against a paint stick and let the black and white paint spatter hit works well.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks for the tip. We'll definitely have to give that a try.

Amazing video! you'll guys are awesome.

Thank you Susie We are starting to get a little faster after doing a few of these over the years.

[@will6258]

Love this channel and you guys really make the season so special. In college about three years ago y’all’s videos helped me a lot when I was taking sculpture and design classes because of the techniques and materials used.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

That's so wonderful to hear Thank You.

[@JennsHaunts]

Love it ☠️👻🎃

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you Jenn!!!

[@matthewgordon799]

Looks great guys! I have a quick pneumatic question, when ever you use pneumatics where do you put the loud compressor? This is my first year using it and I don’t want to upset the neighbors haha

[@HollywoodHaunter]

If you pick up some 50' hoses you can hide the compressor in your house or in a shed. Then you can run the airlines out where ever you need them. We also use extra storage tanks out in the yard and I think that helps the compressor not kick on as much.

[@matthewgordon799]

@@HollywoodHaunter thanks so much! Keep up the good work!

[@ThatGuyGabeToo]

OMG!!!!! That end result is amazing they totally look real!!! Congrats on the channel's anniversary you guys!!!! I can proudly say I get all your references as I've been watching from the get go and boy oh boy time does fly!!!!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We thank you and are happy you have stuck with us and talked with us all this time.

[@jimmynotjim]

This is your best build yet. Love how you hid a lot of the joints to make it break apart for transport storage and the paint job on the doors was excellent. Congrats

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you Jimmy ya that is one thing we have always tried to do is either hide or incorporate the seams of the walls into the design. I think it really helps sell the scene.

[@leighdurrant9116]

Sure I've already seen most of this ?, Deja vu,

Thank you Richard

[@fordesanders1]

I have always really enjoyed watching all your video's you both are very very talented set builders but what I enjoy more is watching two...er three of you who really love each other and love what you do. just for the record a few years back when you were on TV for the best home haunt I thought you guys won hands down, the GROUP that won had an army of workers and what the two of you did was amazing!! You don't have to ever worry about where life will take you as long as you have your beautiful family. Thanks for all the incredible inspiration you have given so many haunters and more important showing so many people what a true loving couple can accomplish. God bless your family and future!

[@kiltedcripple]

Awesome as always! Even if we're not building props of this magnitude at home, the techniques translate even for model makers or action figure dioramas. And the art is inspirational every time!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Oh ya and you know we get inspiration from several of those smaller projects when we do our larger ones. Thank you Lipzig

[@deoblo85]

Beautiful work as always !! Man that turned out great and i love all the techniques you guys use .... question ... why do you use the 1x3 for the walls just curious ? Thanks for sharing as always HFL!!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Deoblo we appreciate that very much. We use the 1x3 because its wide enough to help stand the walls in place and still very lightweight to carry and lift. You can set up most of this stuff alone with no problems. It's also how all the wall flats for studios are made so its just habit and comfort at this point. Great to hear from you hope you're doing well.

[@dontbea7237]

I use foam GE star one windows and doors silicone non-toxic cuz I use mine for fish and aquariums kind of the same idea I just carve everything out of the foam and then silicone concrete dry lock he can also mix the dry lock with acrylic paint to get different color shades and variations

Wow that is so amazing work. I wished I lived closer to you guys as I'd love to pay to have you make me some cool Halloween props. I'm at the top of California near Oregon on the coast. I've been to Winchester Mystery House a few times and it was fun. I can see why they would want you to make their props. Great job! And your family is so adorable.

[@icaliver]

I’ll never forget the first time I saw you guys on that ABC Halloween decorating show. Which you were robbed btw had you guys had a ranch you’ve went all out. I am still curious where you find the wiper mechanism. We want to do this haunted prop where the books are moving in a book case. Have you considered renting out the props for a month or auctioning off old prop? It would be cost effective especially for some of us on a budget and lack of creative space.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks we appreciate that. You can get a wiper motor on amazon as well as a power supply or you can also order a kit on Frightprops. I want to make a bookcase as well some day but they can be a pain to dial in. Renting out is a great idea we have talked about maybe some day.

Hello. Awesome video. Can you please let me know what foam are you using for these projects and where are you buying them online.

[@Keithstrand2]

Gorilla glue has a caulk tube of foam glue I like using

[@lindaxwrenoh]

lol, something i’ve always wondered - how do you keep your styrofoam mess under control? is it all over your yard? and house? the static electricity of it is always terrible for me!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

so yes and no, normally what we try to do is using a shop vac we vacuum up the beads as we go so it doesn't get our of hand but if I slack on that and leave it over night yes it starts to get all over.

[@calebleland8390]

That is so cool!!! You are both so talented, and always make the coolest decorations!

OK, so I hate to be the practical spoil-sport here, but...where in the name of all that is spooky do you store this thing? Or do you leave it out all year to give the neighbors something to gossip about? It's super cool, too much work for me, but most inspirational!

This was built for the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. It is built in sections and modular so it stores nicely. They have the room for it to display and store thankfully 😄
