IT'S A HORROR! / I MADE A ZOMBIE CINDERELLA DOLL / Monster High Doll Repaint by Poppen Atelier

[@zuitsuit80]

I say, next Halloween, I would love to see you do Meryl Streep & Goldie Hawn dolls from “Death Becomes Her”. The stomach hole and the twisted neck would be a lot of fun.

[@RangeGleasry]

That’s such a good idea!

[@N_0968]

Great idea! That would be so great.

[@huntressmma1822]

Oh I like I like that idea!

[@karenthomas9009]

I agree♥️♥️♥️

[@MayaInHell]

I second that!

[@cynthiat6505]

Goodness! The way you make tissue look like vermicular rotting flesh! Your imagination cannot be matched! You are an amazing artist and the only one I shut off anything I’m watching to watch you amaze me!

[@PoppenAtelier]

Thank you so much Cynthia!❤️❤️❤️

[@kykwiltz402]

Fabulously creepy! Personally, I liked the cracked, decrepit look of the pumpkin before you fixed it; it really looked like a fairy tale gone terribly wrong. It hurt my heart when you ´zombified´ your mom´s beautiful ball gown, but the effect was great, along with the horrible hair. Another masterful job, Maryna, and I thank you for another wonderful Hallowe´en season of dire dolls! ❤

[@PoppenAtelier]

Thank you! 😊

[@1981booklover]

@kykwiltz402 I wholeheartedly agree! I was like “noooo!” watching her burn that beautiful dress but I understand that it had to be done and personally the cracked pumpkin adds more to the spookiness and creepiness of the doll and its effects! Or perhaps a rotting pumpkin would have been cool too!

[@TheBachBabe]

My thoughts exactly.

[@brianahawkins8124]

She looks spooky & lovely. Story: Cinderella wanted to go to the ball however the abuse with her step mother went too far, the step mother found out that Cinderella was the one who went to the ball she murdered to poor girl and buried her body in the pumpkin patch, however one of the guards found her body but when the guards informed the prince he then felt heart broken, he married no other girl in the kingdom & committed suicide. The stepmother was sentence to death by hanged for the murder of the two young lovers as for the sisters they were banished from the kingdom, on every Hallow's Eve Legend says that the Cinderella & her Prince's spirit never left, they became ghoulish horrifying creature's who stalk the night wanting justice & revenge that tore them apart. The step mother was found dead in her cell strangled by vines, no one know's who killed her that is for another mystery to solve. Maybe you can make a much better dress for your other Cinderella doll maybe combine the class & new one that would look gorgeous on her. Hope you love my scary story for your Zombie Cinderella, see you next time & have a happy Halloween.

[@imaginefun13]

I was actually thinking the pumpkin looked really cool all broken and cracked and it matched the doll perfectly!

[@vampirefreak818]

She’s giving me such like “Zombie Prom Queen” vibes, love it!

[@GalaxyHD...]

Who else found out about Poppen just randomly and got addicted to watching her videos? I LOVE her voice sm! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@czbaterka]

I love to play her vids and fall asleep!

[@karenthomas9009]

Meeeee 😊

[@zuitsuit80]

I was looking for a doll hair rerooting tutorial video a few years ago and now Poppen is my weekly favorite.

[@huntressmma1822]

I 💜 how she's not afraid to experiment, even when its considered "creepy" or unorthodox. Plus her realistic celebrity face ups are 😘

[@clairebrooks9711]

same her voice is gorg just like her art. now addicted to her channel and have been for a few months

[@ahnahstahjah]

Growing up, I had a family friend who took some of my old Barbie’s, melted them, and made a “Blobby Barbie”, which reminds me a lot of this zombie.

[@PoppenAtelier]

Blobby Barbie😂😂😂

[@sheilarodriguez5126]

I think the cracked pumpkin would have been more creepy. It was too pretty after. Lol And your Mom’s gown…Omg, it hurt me to see you burn that beautiful dress. As long as your Mom does not mind, then I’m ok with it. Haha. This was a great repaint. Love it. ❤

[@isabeaublea8008]

Belle a werewolf? For your twisted Disney dolls. Snow White a Vampire, Sleeping Beauty a Demon. Just ideas. I love this!

[@ewarstler7020]

As a seamstress my heart breaks for the dress but it is absolutely stunning what you created with it ❤❤

[@undeadfroggo6349]

I am constantly impressed by your resilience and problem solving skills. Every time you encounter a setback, you just barrel through with a new fix.

[@gabriellelytle8537]

Of all the hundreds of dolls I’ve seen you make this one is my favorite. Cinderella is my very favorite princess and I’ve been obsessed with zombies since I was 8/9 years old. I wish I had enough money saved so I could buy her. I know whatever home she goes to is going to be absolutely ecstatic to have her. This is so beautiful and you did such an amazing job stepping out of your comfort zone and doing what you don’t normally do!!

[@PoppenAtelier]

thank youuuu!❤️

[@paranormalphotographer05]

i would have loved to see a rotten pumpkin with the zombie. I'm glad you were able to save the pumpkin. I've done some sculpting and it can take forever!

[@lindenjenesse5078]

Maryna~ You're exactly right about why the clay cracked - it was the shrinkage during drying/curing of the outer layer over the already dry inner layer. Cracks are the fear and the bane of potters everywhere!! But you saved it nicely! Your Zombie Cinderella is fantastic!! I cannot *believe* you destroyed the gown - but it does look perfect!! (Will Mama Poppen make one to replace it for the non-zombie doll?) I was kind of hoping Zombie Cinderella would have a pristine glass slipper to keep and to protect! As always, I love your work!!

[@xMourningStar]

Awww. Remember Bob Ross says there are no mistakes, only happy accidents? I think the pumpkin looked awesome and spooky with the cracks! She's gonna be a zombie it would've been perfect!

[@miippi]

So lore; (tw, speaking of violence and gore) Lady Tremaine, Drizella and Anastasia when ripping Cinderella's dress, actually killed her. They gouged her eyes out, mauled her by scratching and tearing into her skin rather than the dress. Wounded, barely alive, she makes it to the willow tree of her mother and the fairy godmother arrives. But she cannot heal Cinderella and she dies next to the willow tree, covered in cinders. The fairy godmother can only make her _appear_ alive. So Cinderella gets turned into a zombie. someone who can no-longer suffer in the hands of her step-family, as she can no-longer feel or think. Her only desire and need is going to that ball. It's her driving force, her obsession.

[@PoppenAtelier]

I love it!!!

[@cathlynballard8409]

This was truly a Halloween treat. This doll had an absolutely beautiful facial structure to work with: I think this is my favorite doll you’ve started with. I liked the disaster pumpkin, broken and cracked - exactly how I imagine it would be after the magic wore off. ❤

[@LazyLioness]

I think the pumpkin scared you more than Cinderella 😂 beautiful work as always. This is my favorite version you've done of Cinderella so far! 😊👏🏾

[@sarcasticinfj5310]

Poor Cinderella, all she wanted was to go to a party in a pretty dress.... now she's zombiefied! My heart broke when Maryna destroyed the original dress though...

[@Uuna]

First of all,my little heart broke a little at the customization of the dress, Mama Atelier couture is no joke. I loved this doll, you can tell how much though you put in it,stepping out of the box,the hair my favorite lol,I really loved it,almost to the level of your Laura Palmer doll,congrats for this awsome transformation, ❤

[@KateandBree]

Me, who cried over dear Poppen's mom's dress. So pretty.

[@SB8-8]

The pumpkin is awesome!! It could have just been a "Zombie" pumpkin all broken and cracked, it would have matched Zombie Cinderella nicely. LOVE HER!!!

[@vidatalab8301]

I love your normal style of beautiful dolls, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE your take on gross glamor ❤💀❤💀

[@DuneDemon8]

I have been watching for a very long time and every time you just continue to amaze me with amount of detail and amount of realistic detail in your work. It is hard to believe these are dolls, with small proportions and you manage to use that small canvass to make the dolls look alive.

[@DuneDemon8]

well in this case undead :D

[@donnahanna10565]

I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. You inspired me more than you know! I love that you showed your earlier dolls. When you first started and you emphasize that it takes practice! You gave me the confidence to start practicing techniques to start customizing. And you taught me that it takes patience, not something I'm usually known for. I wrote to your mother and told her how much I love her work and how she did such a great job raising you. AND SHE WROTE ME BACK TO THANK ME! It made me so happy ! She is an absolute doll and her work is amazing as is yours.❤

[@bluedragon1979]

I know a smashed up pumpkin wasn't in your design plan, but I really liked the idea. I think it would've been a "happy accident." A smashed up pumpkin would've gone well with the disheveled zombie Cinderella. IMHO.

[@kimberlyhendricks1229]

After this doll, which is phenomenal, i would love to see the Phantom of the Opera.😮😮❤

[@seekinghappy]

This doll is amazing!!! The face is GORGEOUS! The burns look awesome. The eye is really haunting. Perfect!

[@TypicalTGreen]

The effect of the tissue paper is phenomenal! 🎉

[@keelyeiner1589]

I'm really wanting Jamie Fraiser from Outlander!

[@JC-mx9nd]

I think it's great that you made a burnt zombie for Cinderella. So fitting!

[@meogatopreto]

About the cute Vs scary doll... Scary dolls are ALWAYS more fun to watch! Yes, cute and pretty dolls are beautiful, but the original doll already was cute. Turning dolls on monsters, mythical creatures and ghosts allow for more creative decisions and results, and demand more extreme modifying. So to me at least, they are very fun to watch and my favorites.

[@morgonerlenstar]

Those scars/tattoos on the dolls head before you started gave me an idea for a Halloween sleeping beauty. The roses are taking over her body because her prince isn’t coming 😢 Your mums dress!!!!!!! Aaahhh, but it works 😅 Look at it this way, your pumpkin zombiefide itself 😂

[@daniellekeohokapu4969]

So obsessed in the art. So mesmerized by the details that transform dolls. I would love to attend class taught by you if ever you will have one. Zombie Cinder was one of the evil dolls I've seen! Bravo! 👏👏👏

[@tahiyamarome]

Excellent! Gorgeous. I don't like zombies but this beauty is an exception. Thank you!

[@kelleyhawk6595]

Cool doll transformation!!! Your clay is extremely too thick, that’s why all the cracks. Pasta dough rolling machine can help so much to roll out your dough thinner. 😊

[@littleogeechee223]

WOW! OMG! Maryna!! Your mom’s gorgeous dress! Her beautiful work!! I’m sure the doll would still have sold!! That’s such a shame! Well, you truly went next level with this one, my dear, I have to give it you and applaud more excellent work. Poor, Poor little Cindy, though!! LOL!

[@Worthi_Creations]

I absolutely love it!! The pumpkin in my opinion looks way better with all the texture! You are such an amazing artist 🎨 ❤

[@elizabetharisner]

This was epic! It reminds me of a fan art I saw of twisted tales. This doll and pumpkin combo is perfect for Halloween~ I totally love her

[@morissaedwards7348]

I made a packing tape ghost, I used my own body as the form, and ended up having to sculpt the head. She does creep me out sometimes, but all in all, I still love her. Question: Was your mom upset when she found out what you did to Cinderella's dress?

[@PoppenAtelier]

making a tape ghost sounds extremely fun!😂 mom also found the dress even more beautiful with all this extra texture 😂😂😂

[@morissaedwards7348]

@@PoppenAtelier It was fun, especially when you light it up at night. I'm glad your mom was happy. You did a great job with this doll

[@zippymacadoo6336]

How do you make a packing tape ghost? This is new to me. I'm struggling with a chicken wire ghost and would love another option!

[@morissaedwards7348]

@@zippymacadoo6336 you wrap a mannequin in Saran wrap from head to toe, and then you cover that with clear packing tape. And then you take your scissors and carefully cut out the mannequin. Once you've got it off, tape up your ghost. Then you could hang it, or put chicken wire and a pole in it to make it stand up and have it be posable.

[@morissaedwards7348]

It's also interesting if you put lights in it. I suggest remote control lights or fairy lights.

[@SabakuNoShi]

I know why it cracked, had the same situation with other air-drying clay. When you're using that much water, you're chaning consistency of clay [proportion glue to plaster mass], when the water evaporates, some of the glue evaporates with it, causing the material to shrink and crack. The best is to use fresh clay without adding too much water. I hope this helps in the future. 😉Happy Halloween! 🕸🍂

[@ichigood5453]

loving the zombie cinderella, just a heads up, cracking can be caused by drying it too quickly, adding too much water and the other is not enough room for shrinking, i love the way you did her ruined face, i have just completed a doll zombie and used air dry clay on her face, so it looks like she was clawed, but i think for my next zombie i shall have a go at tissue, so thank you

[@QuestorThews-s6j]

She is the scariest doll that you have ever made, she is the stuff of nightmares, well done!

[@dpollard0903]

I absolutely love her. I thought you were gonna leave the pumpkin cracked and make it distraught but I love how pretty it is.

[@Kirsty01773]

She's perfect!! I found with air dry clay thin layers work best, the thicker the layer the more likely to crack. Loved your Halloween dolls again this year ❤ you're so talented

[@maddiemelody9001]

I absolutely LOVE the distressing of the dress!! It’s so interesting to look at

[@karenthomas9009]

@Poppenaltier you have to use thin layers, you needed a mini rolling pen to flatten the clay. The pumpkin turned out great anyway🤷‍♀️😂

[@Jassiepoohbear]

It's giving Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies vibes! I love it!

[@angelabowman1614]

Wow! Very Good! You are so creative! Using tissue to make her arm and 1/2 of her face look like decayed skin!? Cool! The hair ....LoL.....looked a Fright! 😂👍 The dress looked like it had been though decades of wear and tear. All in all......she turned out Beautiful! Creepy Beautiful....😁👍

[@DerekDogsforSentience]

I can see your narrative becoming a film. What a fantastic imagination. Another doll triumph!

[@phlackbillip]

That texture on one side of the face makes me think you should one day make a doll of Donna Beneviento from resident evil village 😮

[@mwroach1251]

She's awesome! The only thing I'd have added are plastic pieces glued to her feet to look like glass shards embedded in her feet; a result of the glass slippers shattering.

[@waretaSL]

I think next year you need to make her a zombie prince charming! That'd be so creepy-cute omg. Also, she came out absolutely awesome! ❤

[@ZDvineMsCassilynn]

Wow! I agree the dress looks better this way, but I think you could have destroyed it even more, especially on the left side to match the amount of burns on her body, but that's just me. I don't like zombies anyway. That pumpkin shows your perseverance and skill so well, great job on that too.

[@karenjarrell5978]

Poppen, I wanted to cry when you took that lighter to the dress but man, it turned out incredible for this look. Cinderella is scarily beautiful but I kind of wished that you had added a few dark marks to the pumpkin too. Seems to bright with the overall theme. Still I think it turned out amazing! Good job!

[@RangeGleasry]

Your mastery of colour theory is on full display in this one 🤩

[@AllaBorisovna49]

I can advise you to use DAS clay for large products. It does not crack at all when drying. For small parts, LaDoll is best suited.

[@dwhatsit1]

I have been watching your videos for YEARS, and if there's one thing I learned from this video, it's that you are a perfectionist. Thanks to you, I have learned how to recreate dolls and I LOVE it! You could have just glued the pumpkin back together haphazardly and it could have been a zombie pumpkin to match Zombie Cindy! But, like you, I probably would have reworked it as well, lol! It's easier to sit back and watch to get ideas as I watch you work, right? I love your videos and I thank you for the wealth of knowledge that you share. Love you!

[@christyparr1563]

I love the pumpkin! How else would it look after being turned back into the pumpkin from the carriage and then going bad..? Great job.

[@tyieshiamarshall3001]

❤ i clicked as soon as it popped up!

[@N_0968]

Same. I was watching something else but Marina is much more important.

[@BreathofSpring24]

I have to say i was sad to see that beautiful dress transformed, but the sacrifice was for art! Gorgeous scary design. ❤

[@daisywrabbit]

[@tahiyamarome]

Just a suggestion. Ever consider a rococo era doll? You do so many fancy, gorgeous beauties. I am thrilled to just see what comes from your mind. I'm just a little crazy for ribbons and bows and ruffles. If you've already done one I'll find it. Thank you for all your astounding art.

[@KillerKoifish]

I love how you can tell throughout the video how excited she was about this project. ❤ I adore this doll!!!! You are one of the best doll customizers EVER! Your work (especially this one) is beyond incredible. You have such talent and great craftsmanship. You never fail to amaze me with your dolls (Also, Hopefully your mom wasn’t too upset about you burning that dress haha)

[@kerikah]

Wonderful, as always! I especially love that you figured out how to fix the pumpkin by your deadline even after it gave you trouble! What an inspiration!

[@katmaresparkles9578]

The pumpkin having some cracks in it after being transformed back after being an elaborate carriage I think is appropriate and goes well with Cinderella turning into a zombie.

[@mzc516]

I felt like the cracked pumpkin went with the zombie Cinderella theme. The universe was tryna help you out. Lol

[@dawnbibb5862]

Amazing, as always!!! The pumpkin looks fantastic

[@urbpro]

OMG, years ago my daughter read a book series with zombie Disney Princesses and she loved it sooo much! She's 19 now but I can't wait to show her your take on zombie Cinderella :)

[@AishaVonFossen]

I like the idea of Cinderella as a zombie, but I only wish it was a different dress, because...I really liked it the way it was. Sorry, I swear that's my only gripe about it. 😅 Otherwise, it looks great! I think the clay pumpkin was a great idea, because not only could it be used to display the doll, it could also be used as like a candy bowl or a piggy bank or something. And yes, even though it was kind of a pain to complete it, it was a smashing success! All around, the whole project is a success, though. Well done! 😉🤩

[@Bexinmo]

I think the cracks and broken pumpkin looks perfect for a Zombie Cinderella

[@jackiewoodman2915]

I can't be the only one yelling "NO! Don't 'save' the pumpkin! It's already zombiefied!!!" Oh, that was an opportunity lost. Don't get me wrong...I love Poppen videos...truly talented lady. But, That could have been such a cool zombie pumpkin.

[@PoppenAtelier]

it was falling apart, I had to fix it...

[@sanashi27]

The doll looks amazing! I love the effects to make her look like a zombie. Kinda sad the pretty dress had to be ruined but it was perfect for her. The pumpkin being cracked looked perfect for a zombie Cinderella but I get that it needed to be fixed cause it would have broken entirely if not. I love how even if it were covered, you can still see where some of the cracks used to be cause it made it look real (I mean real pumpkins don't look perfectly smooth after all). This is great and i'm excited for what creepy dolls would be for next year.

[@karenthomas9009]

I love your videos, i love you and your mom's art😊. Every doll you make i wish i could buy, maybe soon too. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@melindarivera6598]

I've noticed that the last couple of dolls you've made, when taking the bits of the hair out of the head, there was no glue. Or very little glue maybe. I wonder how the hair was staying in there?

I expected a destroyed or rotten pumpkin, but a prettier one is some good irony too. She also could have at least ONE shoe to keep that "Cinderella" idea, or at least the glass slipper could have been somewhat broken. Beautiful work though ❤

You are a true master. Wow your imagination is amazing.thank you for this zombie doll

[@eloisetucker1288]

A good tip for if you are going to make more things like the pumpkin is a pasta maker/roller to roll it out thinly

[@Mayasoflya]

I love your back story for your zombie cinderella.

[@jadesage09]

I think this turned out really well! I'm sorry that you had to destroy your Mother's dress for this project, but it does look really good. I do wish she had a bit of the Cinderella bun hairstyle, just more disheveled. You could have probably gotten away with a broken pumpkin, just make it look rotten and destroyed to match the doll. For the story, all I can think of is a plague was going through the kingdom when Cinderella got her gown and carriage. Cinderella got infected, but the magic that was placed on her prevented her from dying fully, so zombie :P

[@whitneynewton9063]

You did such a great job on this design and all the details! You are so talented with both the spooky and glamorous dolls! I feel like these types of repaints really push your skills too!

[@AlixSam97]

Was anyone else genuinely concerned for Poppen and her studio? 😰 I was a little sad for the dress, as we all know Mom Atelier is an amazing seamstress so it was a bit nerve wracking to see her work quite literally go up in flames. She looks terrible (in the best way) I really liked the blue veins you gave her. Also the pumpkin is amazing, you should go into the pottery business! 😅 I will admit I was sad that you didn't do anything for her feet. Cinderella's shoes are iconic and I feel like you missed an opportunity to do something cool with her shoes. Like broken heels or even just the one because she's already left one at the ball. She is truly horrific and I love your style as always. ❤

[@emma-io1cb]

I’m absolutely shocked every time I watch your videos you are a true inspiration and a natural talent don’t ever change your a real pleasure to watch me and my daughter often sit and binge watch your videos ❤❤❤
