The poseable Spider Hill plastic joints for pvc video is here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/ombZpnSwp9alhsk

[@Djr481]

Another great and entertaining video , long neck is so frigging awesome, will be totally trying this next year

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Many thanks Des! You can literally make any plastic head or mask a ground breaker with 6 feet of pvc!.

[@monstermorguetutorials3139]

Mega cool upgrade!!!! Killer shirt!

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Thank you Morgue!!! He was so plain but such a great hard plastic prop he needed some love!

[@FraidyZone]

That's cool, and I didn't realize those came with arm socket holes! You also just reminded me, as I'm over here sawing away, that I need to get a PVC pipe cutter!🤪

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Ohhh a pvc cutter works wonders! The arm holes worked out great. It was a nice suprise. Im gonna look at the other one closer and see if it has armholes too.

[@susanowen1709]

Now that's a nice little prop for any graveyard scene. A lot of the tips/techniques can be applied to other projects, too. Thanks for posting!

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

My pleasure Susan! Oh yeah! You could use on multiple projects and make an army of these guys!

[@danscheib7889]

I love that your so relatable and you break shit down for us slow people so we can follow along step by step. I love it. Thank you man.

I know I move pretty fast through merch trying to hit as much as I can and get prices for everyone. I always try to mention quality or what material something is made of. I appreciate you watching Dan!

@@CobwebsandCandlesticks hell ya brotha! Did you see my other comment? Did you end up doing anything with that other hanging zombie guy? I had just picked that one up yesterday, I try to get creative and make my Halloween party/setup different every year, I was wondering what to do with it. If not, I may just do the ground breaker with it. If you want to get crazy and want to come to Nashville come to the party this year!

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

@@danscheib7889 I still have the other hanging zombie, I use him as a vacuum cleaner cover instead of those stupid cows with aprons lol. They are a great piece and hard plastic so they can be outside.

[@faustlove]

I'm off work recovering from some surgery so, I'm working on several pieces of yard decor that need some TLC. As soon as I heard you say "Indiana Weather" , I knew I would want to explore your channel!! I'm from Northern Clay County. I moved away for college in '85 but, I always knew that I would come back. I'm going to be binging your channel this weekend!😁

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Ohhh cool, welcome to the Haunt fam!!! I always build overkill for our crappy weather! Lol, we get 4 season in one day. Hahahaga. I hope I can show you some tricks!

[@chungafea1879]

Another bad ass creation. Long neck turned out awesome. I’ll add this to my to do list for next year. Good tip on the not putting it in the washing machine. Way to take one for the team. 😂

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

I never learn! Lol, Spirit still has long neck too!! Pvc is such a great invention. It's literally the building blocks for haunters. Thank you Chunga!

[@stevewakefield5001]

Incredible detail and work! Looks so cool and gruesome!! Thought you were going to use pallet wood for the broken coffin. Love your energy keep up the great work!

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Pallet wood would be perfect! It's pre distressed,lol. He was a blast to build and is holding up great.

[@rufferstuff9148]

This is a project easy to customize to whatever you have on hand. Taking the time to repaint the skin color really made a difference. Great job with him.

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

If I had had ran hands I would have went right to ink washes to add filth,lol. With 6 feet of pvc you can really use odds and ends with some kind of head and bang out a nice prop to use for years. I hope they put out new one for next year.

[@vendright]

Thanks for sharing. You're quite a master at your craft.

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Your welcome Jackson! Far from from master but I do try to think outside the box!

[@chrisadamson9556]

I have the same Zombie from Spirit. You did an awesome job...

Thank you Chris!! He makes a great groundbreaker! I might do a full size prop with the other zombie hanger

[@crystalstrader9806]

Fantastic job! Thanks for sharing your process.

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Your welcome Madame!! Plus it can be ouside!

[@CrypticonNick]

You make some fun educational videos. You have a unique angle as you are geared towards more heavy duty props to hold up in tough weather and regular fall for us Northern folks. There are lots of KZbinrs posting from LA where the only worries they have is tan lines on there props! Keep up the good work!

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Thank you Nick! Sincerely, I've had people tell me I'm on the bullet train to hell for the stuff I build so why not enjoy the ride? Lmao. Mother Nature will beat you down here in NW Indiana so I build a little extreme to compensate. I wish we had So Cal weather! It's just not gonna happen so overkill build it is!

[@84goat28]

That came out great. Now I have some summer projects for nxt Halloween.

[@hughmungus8320]

Is there a way to seal latex masks so that I can use them outside? Ive been foam filling them and using them as heads

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Yes and no,lol. It's ok to use a foam.filled latex mask outside but direct sunlight, hot/cold temps and weather will degrade the latex faster. Seal it with a nice coat of Mop'n Glo( yes the floor wax) or spray them with Armor All and rub it in maybe once a week. If you can keep it in a sheltered area or on a porch under an eave out of direct sunlight that helps!

@CobwebsandCandlesticks yes sr. I started on my grounbraker today, and though I've order a mask on Amazon, I'm creating a skull using, Great stuff ( what a pain these are) foam comes out of the straw and the base makes everything messy, also using loctite, but doesn't expand as much as Great stuff.

They were a steal at 2 for 75$ I think it was plus I got them on clearance I believe! A little bit of paint and elbow grease can go a long way.

if anyone was wondering , u can also use wood instead of pvc pipes, it can rot tho, u need to care for it! lmao

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Very true Kiana! As long as you put a good coat of outdoor paint on it your ready to rock for years!

[@DianaHernandez-kn1ne]

Frickin awesome! I know you said no latex, but I've been using a mask for a prop outside for about 7 years now. Because I didn't think about the sun. Is there anything I can use to try and preserve it? so it doesn't get sun damage.

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Latex will always degrade over time. The sun and high/low temps just speed up the process. If your using a latex mask/head just give it a good coat of Armor All. Before you put it out and before you store it away for the year. Works like a charm!

[@billxmas889]

Giant Kudos to Spirit Halloween it wasn't easy getting In contact with the right person , but when I did they addressed the issue which was a store failures to follow policy, and for my aggravation they 1 day shipped me a Krampus Animatronic, Customers Service In America is not totally dead in America yet at least not with Spirit Halloween but it was very aggravating trying to get a right email, which when I did communication were quick and very well handled .

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

So far I've been lucky and never had to deal with their customer service. I font buy alot of their animatronics which is probably their number 1 complaint. So far my sewer varmint is still working so no complaints there. I am seriously eyeballing their Caretaker this year so hopefully if i bite, I don't get bitten! Lmaooo

[@billxmas889]

​@@CobwebsandCandlesticks yeah Ive never bought any animatronics I was going to get the Baphomet and redesign it , but Im mostly a mask buyer when they get one or 2 new ghoulish production designs in, and the VP at corporate was like pick whatever you want from our site thats available and Its on its way , ​ the 2 day FedX service looking at the shipping invoice that was $278.88 unbelievable but Amazing to find out that if the guys in corporate know that a customer has a problem that they will make it right 10 folds over and more , most places I would have got somebody in Calcutta on phone wanting to send me apology coupons toward my next purchase .

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

I haven't heard great reviews on Baphomet and I've never seen him in person yet. GHOULISH makes great stuff! I have several of their shrunken heads. That's great Spirit steps up and doesn't redirect you to a call center in Bombay! I believe those shipping charges! Thats crazy they gouged Spirit like that! I would have thought they got a deal on mass shipping. What did they ship you? A couch? Lmaoo. It's really cool they stepped up, especially a huge company cause you'd think they would blow you off like you were one of billions. Good job Spirit!

[@billxmas889]

The Baphomet was cool but yeah it would definitely need a design rehaul , Head and horns were all good decent hard plastic but the bottom jaw wasnt fantastic at all as far as the rest of the head for long life durability just mediocre not the best but not the worst
