Making Giant Halloween Pumpkins - Harry Potter Inspired DIY Halloween Decorations

[@brettlandon8196]

As a 25-year veteran of the composites industry and having made some awesome things, including my current work, I love seeing this kind of creativity. There is so much work that goes into something like these. Great work!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you very much Brett! boy your not kidding on the work part Hahaha!

[@Argumedies]

I would have liked to have seen the actual fiberglass process

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We plan on posting another video of that. When we have several projects with deadlines the camera takes a back seat. Later when we go to share the footage from a project its missing steps. Happens all the time with us.

[@Ash-uu8ow]

@@HollywoodHaunter can't wait to see what y'all have for this year!

[@valleygirl670]

AGREED

[@fordguyfordguy]

This was what I wanted to see most.

[@leeweber85]

I’m so jealous of those giant pumpkins! I’ve been wanting to make something like that to use as the props for the singing/talking pumpkin projections for years now, but.... so much work! Yours turned out awesome!

[@JellicleKat]

Harrison give new meaning to the term, "Pumpkin Roll." No but seriously, those were petty amazing.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Lol! Thank you.

[@JellicleKat]

You're welcome.

[@artladybluntzer4112]

IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, HARRISON!!!! looking really good. God bless

[@dirk4926]

Your pumpkin decoys look so realistic they may fool the Great Pumpkin himself!

[@tomgrabowski3493]

Reallly great if you are a born artist and sculptor.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

I see people create all kinds of masterpieces with little or no experience all thime time. Its what makes art so awesome!

[@yamahabiker1937]

You 2 are so talented and awesome. LOL...."It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" is still one of my all time favorite cartoons, and a Halloween tradition.

[@RestlessHollow]

Nice work! Those are so great! I would also love to hear more about the mold making and fiberglass process.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Its in the plan. You know how crazy things can get and then your like oh Im missing footage on this. Big congrats to you guys!

[@RestlessHollow]

@@HollywoodHaunter I hear ya! I've got so many half edited videos because I'm missing stuff. Thanks!

[@MaryCumbersnatch]

​@@HollywoodHaunter did you ever make that video? I would love to watch it!

[@cynthiastinson7059]

Coolest mom&dad ever!

[@dcartier100]

Nice job. !! a Very Charlie Brown Moment at the end !!

[@spacejunkr7959]

OMG! I want pumpkins like this for our yard!

[@junimcdowell5571]

Imagine projecting jack o lantern jamboree on those pumpkins 🎃

[@jacksvlogs9924]

Finally!! I have been trying to figure out how to do this forever!!!! Thank you!!

[@redghostoutdoors2359]

Those are amazing! I applaud you for your dedication.

[@robertsalgado6707]

Damn, you guys make the best looking pumpkins ever! :D

[@SquirrelsForAll]

Those are simply incredible!

[@CookingGuy815]

Hollywood Haunter great product, I like it

[@randywilson4529]

Wow totally awesome, i love the pumpkins and I wish i had the ability to make stuff like this not only for my own halloween display but also my son’s. My greadkids would love something like this, thanks for sharing

[@scottdowdy9994]

Nice!! Now when will you be doing a video about the mold making and casting

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We plan on posting a couple more videos of the silicone and fiberglass process.

[@brownbettybrown1]

Fun video!! Those pumpkins are SO awesome! What a great Haunt family🎃

[@lonelyzombie3128]

Yeah! Pumpkin season is coming! Pumpkin season is coming! Harrison tested, Harrison approved.

[@chillsonchambers2559]

If we had the money i would totally be ordering some. These are awesome and you guys put a lot of work in. Love them

[@KlassiclyRevampT]

Those came out fantastic!

[@thomasallsmiller280]

I actually make all the pumpkins in the Harry Potter parks, these look great! might I suggest you guys do a Peat Moss paint resist when painting? paint the pumpkin a base orange color then throw some wet peat moss, then spray a slightly darker orange. let it dry and wash the moss off and you are left with a natural looking mottled look. the ones I do are around a 8 step process with different colors! great job keep up the good work!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

That is really awesome Thomas thanks for the great tip 😁👍

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We are thinking of making large pumpkin seeds with broken pumpkins like the ones you guys did to look like the hippogriff bit into them. We love how you created the pumpkin innards and seeds in the openings. Any tips for that? 😁

[@thomasallsmiller280]

@@HollywoodHaunter cool! for that we sculpted individual seeds and made a gang mold out of silicone to reproduce. the pulp was shredded cotton ropes and cheese cloth brushed with orange tinted epoxy resin (surfboard resin) then additional paint and glazes added.. careful the end results are SHARP!

[@JennsHaunts]

I didn't really get how big they were until I saw you standing next to them. Great work they look awesome 🎃

[@cthootie]

Great job, fun toys for the kid. Ditto for fiberglass mold video if you have one. I was wondering what happened to the Pumpkins. Thanks

[@EricGarringer]

I’ve been a big fan of yours since you were doing the haunted house facade a handful of years ago. I love your incredible Halloween creations and admire your attention to detail! And your personalities makes your videos even more entertaining. 🎃

[@puff_x]

Absolutely love it!! They came out so good!

[@UnhingedProductions1]

It’s great to see a video from you guys! As always the video was great and the pumpkin turned out amazing!

[@deoblo85]

The Pumpkins look great nice work !! HFL!!

[@tony1234122]

Wow these are awesome

[@liftedcandy9146]

They look great!

[@flymario8046]

Well those came out beautiful! Well done Jeana and whomever your sidekick... that Ernest P Worrell impersonator is.

[@williamjensen7042]

YAY your back!!!!!!!!

[@williamjensen7042]

you never finished the witches house.... is that on the agenda?

[@hyperflexharrington5]

Way Awesome!!! Could you do a back track video showing how you get all the pieces together and the fiberglass inside?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Yes! I will have to set up a camera cause as that resin cooks on a hot day its hard to stop and film if you know what I mean.

[@edtsch]

Thanks so much for sharing this -- really inspirational! I would LOVE to see more of the actual tooling/sanding. I'm not asking you to change your video structure much, just mix in a few cuts of you using the tools instead of just fast forwarding to the end result.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We can do that in our next one 😉👍

[@valleygirl670]

SICK

[@ericmelton2737]

Awesome! You need to sell these. I want to buy them all.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Sounds good you can contact us through Facebook or email if your interested in more information thank you.

[@marisolmakes4670]

I tried making foam pumpkins...so much harder than I thought. I would buy some if you opened up a shop! 👌😊

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We do 👍 You can contact us through Facebook or email if your interested in more information thank you.

[@Shannirae]

Amazing guys 👍🏻

[@StrankensteinsMonsters]

I love them!

[@KerriGilpin]

Love those ideas!

[@WDWDad]

Lol i keep coming back to these videos hoping to see how you make the actual mold and how you put the individual pieces together.

[@shaunnapierccc4191]

So happy to see you all posting videos again! Harrison is getting so big! Does he get spooked by Halloween at all? Our girls just turned 3 and I'm hoping our girls wont be as scared this year.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Yes he does sometimes mostly by dad acting weird. Hopefully your girls will be a little less scared this year so you can experience some diffrent things.

[@kkeegan32]

I think if you make a gif of harrison rolling the pumpkin I think that would go viral

[@gulfgypsy]

The "Great Pumpkin' lives! Linus was right!

[@tcan4959]

That’s amazing

[@josecueto1353]

You guys really are so talented. I would love to have my own shop to make things like this but I don’t have the tools or the room to store these things . I live in a mobile home. But Harrison is so lucky to have such talented parents who literally are making his childhood so magical and memorable. I also would’ve loved to see the mold making process.

[@HFSPOOKYJ]

Awesome! What is the orange color you used. Store bought or did you mix it yourself? Color looks really rich even before poly coat.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

i think it was a Behr paint acually called pumpkin. I can double check with Jeana but I know she used three or four colors blended together with the airbrush.

[@HFSPOOKYJ]

@@HollywoodHaunter Neat I really thought from you spraying it with hvlp that it was something other than house paint. Thanks!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

@@HFSPOOKYJ You got it we used a bonder primer for fiberglass first and then the latex paint.

[@heatherbryan1150]

Omg, these are amazing! They look like the pumpkins at Walt Disney World or better!! Do you sell these? Thanks so much

[@HollywoodHaunter]

thank you and yes we do sell them.

[@valleygirl670]

@@HollywoodHaunter HOW MUCH

[@fordguyfordguy]

when you spray them with an HVLP, please say what color you are using!!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

I think we used a Behr paint called Jack-o-lantern

Hey there, you guys are fantastic and I am eating up the videos. I live in SoCal too, where did you find those big blocks of styrofoam? I have BIG plans for 2021!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Hi! Keep checking Craigslist. It pops up for free from time to time. Or if you need it sooner Foam Mart in Burbank has blocks.

[@wintergirl_93]

😍😍😍omg these are AMAZING!!! I wish I wasn't poor lol, I'd love to have some huge scary pumpkins for my Halloween display... Also I would need a jack skellington and Sally head also a zero one, the ones I made out of a paper mache method I found online didn't really work and they keep molding 😔😭 and idk what to do

[@jacksvlogs9924]

Wow! These are truly amazing! Are you guys going to make a tone of them?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks! We hope we can. 😁👍

[@Gargamel19]

ok where did you get the huge pieces of foam at though??? im in san diego and i havent seen any places where i can buy something that large anywhere! I'd LIKE to get it for FREE if possible, i just need to know where to look. I actually made the same thing a couple years ago but from paper mache' which was AWESOME! but they fall apart after a while. I feel like these would stand up to time better.....I want to do a haunted pumpkin patch this year! help me get started!!

[@hollymartin2123]

These are AWESOME!!! Where do you get your Styrofoam from? I can get to be pretty pricey buying online....is there a place to get it for free? Thanks and Happy Halloween 2019!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

we purchase from a store called foam mart or craigslist

[@KerriGilpin]

Curious about the weight difference in the foam vs fiberglass versions- I’m guessing it’s not a big difference? I remember watching you make the original foam versions and the horsehair brush carving was awesome but the mess it makes is kinda crazy- doing them in fiberglass seems like MUCH less of a mess to clean up! Did I miss what the molds are made of? Are they fiberglass themselves?

[@edtsch]

What I REALLY want to know are details about what kinds of paints and finishes you use for outdoor (in the rain and sun) props, especially on fiberglass which is so hard to paint durably.

[@edtsch]

Ah, I finally got to 11:53, where she apparently tops it all with Minwax spar urethane. Does that work well in the long run?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We used a xim bonder for hard to paint surfaces like fiberglass then applied the exterior latax and urethane. I know its not as long lasting as autobody paint but we will find out how long it lasts. This should work for our purposes hopfully.

[@edtsch]

@@HollywoodHaunter FYI, an acquaintance of mine here in Austin does lots of big outdoor props/sculptures and her technique is to sculpt them out of foam, use epoxy clay to fill in and sand, and then she pays someone to spray on polyurea bedliner, the stuff you use to coat the bed of a pickup! So she bypasses the mold-making and fiberglass altogether. Apparently the bedliner does not attack the polystyrene, and she then paints with primer and "latex house paint or oil paint does fine." kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqnYlaJog9Kqeas

[@HollywoodHaunter]

@@edtsch Thank you for that info we will definatly have to try that out. 👍
