[@catherineseigler3030]

Happy to see yall back...missed you and Chris and Harrison

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you so much! Glad to be back 🖤

[@MrDopey26]

Chris and Jeana are back!!!! More videos please

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Working on the next one as I write 😊

[@shannondh83]

So beautiful! You really matched the original stones. I am sure that 99% of people go past it and think that it has always been there.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you so much for the kind compliment 😊

[@BlanckMortuary]

We have two heavy columns for our haunt as well. My son and I named them pain and suffering.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Lol!!! Sounds like that could have been the names for ours too 😂

[@dirk4926]

Harrison is getting so big! It's always great to see what you guys are getting up to and it's exciting to see you're still making props for the famous Winchester House. If you gotta be stuck living in California it's nice that you can have work that you're passionate about.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Absolutely! Hoping to still escape someday 😆

[@SteveMahr-wk2gv]

Yay! I miss you all so much! I hope you are all doing really well! I'm excited to hear you have more videos in the pipeline! Jeana, Chris and Harrison - you are my favorite makers!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

That's very kind of you to say, Thanks Steve!

[@artamussumatra6286]

Hollywood Haunter rises from the Crypt…. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back! 🎃👍

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Lol!!! Can't keep us down 😆

[@VanOaksProps]

Another fantastic build! So happy to see a new video from you in my feed!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks so much buddy! It's been way too long. Hope you're doing well. Miss your face.

[@happymaskedguy1943]

YOU’RE BACK! I was watching your videos last night, so great to hear your lovely voices again. Wonderful! Made my day.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

So glad to hear it! Thanks 😊

[@johnc6228]

Funny you should say that. I love Chris and Jeana's voices.

[@johnc6228]

Hey! Hello Chris and Jeana And Harrison. Thanks for a fun video. I hope you're all doing well.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you! You too!

[@Videos-io3ll]

You both have been sooo busy. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to make and share this video. Beautiful work.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We've missed getting to post, thanks so much for watching!

[@eriktaylor754]

So glad to see you back, you have been missed!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks!

[@christaylor2529]

BRILLIANT ❤ you guys just keep getting better and better. The pumpkins are epic. 🎃 What an honor to be a part of that history. I love all the old pictures of the property and how nothing around there at all.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

The history of that house is amazing. It definitely is a dream job. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🖤

[@darrinplank]

Happy to see you back. I’ve missed you

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you!

[@theexchipmunk]

As a tip for something I figured out with my own props some time ago. To really make them blend in and not look "ploped down" when standing on flat ground anymore, I use bits of wood or other thin edge profile that I cover with dirt, leaf litter, sticks and small stones glued onto it. Also add a bit of flexible foam like eva before that to make it a bit more uneven and irregular. (flexible because it`s close to he ground and that way is less likely to get damaged, more robust) To really sell the illusion I also add bits and pieces or realistic artificial plants, like the leafs of artificial flowers and small cut off pieces from artificial grass. Colour them with a wash and/or dusting of spray paint to make them look less healthy as well as more dirty and it creates a wonderful illusion of being random bit´s of weeds that tend to grow at the sides of old walls or other construction. That way I create skirts/covers that just slip on the bottom after putting down the prop, and that can be removed for storage and easier handling. Depending on what the base profile is i either use pins or some matichning channel the profile can slide in to keep it in place. But if there is more vegetation on it I also use threaded inserts on the prop and a few small bolts that are hidden between the "weeds". That way I can create the illusion that the piece is actually part of the area and has been standing there for some time while making it look even older at the same time, as these edges always accumulate dirt, litter and weeds the older they get. It´s interesting how much such little details can change the perception. And the eara where the prop meets the ground is while not generally conciously looked at always something that tells people "prop". And with things like this gate that matches the sourrounding construction already, it can be so good that people will mistake it for an actual part of the area and not a prop. In my mind making props is always playing with peoples expectations and perception, and certain small details can do a lot.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Good tips! We have definitely incorporated those ideas into our scenery before. I guess it all depends on the look you're going for. For this project, if you were to walk the grounds of the Winchester, this is exactly how the bases look, clean to concrete. Thanks so much for the ideas and thanks for watching.

[@KerriGilpin]

Yay! Beautiful stone texture and paint! Jeana is so talented with the layers of paint and has a great eye for getting the right look. Chris has the problem solver mentality and clever craftsmanship to make any material work for any build! No wonder WMH keeps asking for more every year!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you so much Kerri! You always say the nicest things 🥰

[@HobbyHalloween]

So cool to see your work at the Winchester Mystery House, When I can get over there to look at it I will. Such awesome work! It's been a while, so glad to see a video from 'ya. Harrison is really growing up too.

It is truly a blessing to see you back. Are you still located in california?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Still in California but the goal is to get outta here 🤞

[@otter1485]

TN is God's country, come on over.

[@symble]

......its.....groovy.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks buddy, nice to see you!

[@mysticmanor1]

I really love the detail to your columns. The gates look awesome as well. How heavy are they? My columns and gates are my favorite Halloween decorations. Thanks for sharing.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks so much! The columns are pretty heavy but manageable. We are able to lift the tops on, but it definitely takes all our strength to do it.

[@donnytucker]

Turned out amazing!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Donny!

[@schutztruppe]

how does this material do in the weather? In LA area

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We build all our outdoor props to withstand the elements. It has three different layers of hardcoating and then sealed with a clear coat. So far so good!

[@lindajorgensen2580]

Love it!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks!!

[@kmonnier]

These are fabulous ❤

[@Stickystudios926]

YAY YOUR POSTING 😊😊😊

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Woo Hoo!!!

[@vladimirsanchezgarci]

i was thinking about you two just yesterday!!!! i got some halloween hunger and i remembered your incredible ghost old west town... this gate and pillars are amazing, when they call you to do custom pieces, do they keep them? is like they ere buying them? or you made them custom and "rent them"? im wondering why the stone pumpkings were at your house.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Most of the large props we build they keep. The pumpkins are kept backstage on their property when not on the front pillars. They just happened to be down and we snapped a picture, but the Winchester owns them.

[@vladimirsanchezgarci]

ok got it! thanks for the answer! @@HollywoodHaunter

[@leadpusherpro]

Where do you buy the foam? Thanks so much, great work !!!

[@ThatGuyGabeToo]

Lol! Funny cause I'm usually the one talking everyone's ears off. Glad there's proof I can refrain sometimes 😂 We do appreciate you watching.

[@truthserum5202]

It's a bit nauseating how this woman keeps interrupting her husband and inserting words into his sentences. I'll bet it drives him bonkers.
