I just wanted to thank you for sharing this stuff, and just say that you need to create a patreon so we can contribute to your supply fund, to encourage even more cool content my brother! Gracias amigo!

[@kristine2285]

He has one now.

[@nikkid2396]

Your videos are great. The motion detector is a great idea. Glad you showed how to hack to a strobe light.

[@MonsterTutorials]

Thanks!

[@LewieXIII]

I would FREAK out lol. Well done.

[@mariahh9654]

Thank you so much for the tutorial!! I'm in love with how it looks I'm totally making one for my yard this year!!! Looks amazing great work!

[@MonsterTutorials]

Thanks for your comment! Our trick or treaters loved it as well. Cheers, ET

Love your videos but your downloads are not working. Would be better to put in your description.

[@patricksmith9297]

Love your videos. As an electrician, I would suggest you be mindful of line, load and polarity. Most extension cords will have a means to tell conductors apart, usually one wire that has a row of ridges on its entire length. Also, your black wire needs to be attached to the line or power coming in while the red is the load side which is the power going out. Polarity is determined by the difference in the blades of your plug. I believe the larger blade is the hot. Just be careful. Also, seal your wire wirenuts with hot glue as an extra layer of protection

[@reginafetty6374]

I am so glad I came across your channel. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge. I love making my own props. Getting knowledge from fellow haunters, who made it previously, makes it so much easier. Thankyou

Thanks!!

[@evanpainter3482]

Your videos are so cool. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge.

[@juliebernhardt1036]

Loved it. I’m going to make one but I think I may gell the hair somewhat to give it a messier, wet look.

[@mroselli7482]

i duplicated this exact thing this week. It works well. Only problem is the cost of PVC has went way up around me.

[@GamerInked]

you could also heat gun the pvc shoulders to give them a more natural slope, looks good man i love your channel

[@MonsterTutorials]

Good idea!

[@raymiller6811]

Great video, very detailed and informative! Thank you

[@raymitchell9736]

I very much liked this prop build. But about the electrical I saw one thing to worry about: The Neutral and Hot wires being switched around when you cut the electrical extension cord and spliced it back. Perhaps you did this off camera, but for your audience, if they should attempt this, there is a safety consideration: The reason plugs are polarized are prevent the hot and neutral from being switched around, so it is important to preserve the neutral wire (white) in the circuit from the outlet to the controlled device, in addition there also may be some issue with wiring the motion sensor up backwards... I would suggest using a 3-wire extension cord for two reasons: (1) you have a usable ground for the controlled device and (2) using these extension cords, if they are sheathed, is that (usually) they have color-coded wires inside so you can't mix them up. and (3) optionally you can ground the gang box and attach the motion head to it as you said in the video. Most plastic boxes are "double insulated" so no ground available or necessary. A gang box would protect the wire splices and make it easier to mount.

[@BanjoPicker]

Where is the list of pieces for the PVC?

[@bernro3333]

I didn’t have time last year to make this, my supplies are ready! Love your creativity! Brilliant!!!

[@hippychikforever]

Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! With your help, I built a Samara with her own well and she's looming over our cemetery. Not brave enough to play with motion sensors yet, but I'll get there.

[@badgergirl3303]

By the way thank you. Love all your projects

[@brenlockridge3351]

Thankyou so much for this one. So easy to do and cheap as I already had the pipes and connectors. Couldn't find a suitable nightdress so I made one, no problem as I'm handy with the sewing machine!

[@charlesreynolds39]

That's awesome, I'll have to make notes of those frame proportions. Thanks for sharing.

I made a creepy butler like this, but sadly being in the UK someone stole it :(.

[@marym3479]

Very cool, thanks! Trying her with the motion sensor soon. Hopefully all will work out well...I've got a great spot for her!

Would love to subscribe to your awesome videos BUT I tried to see where I could get measurements for samara body. But nothing would come up. I really enjoy your work. Thank you❤️

[@kargandarr]

Two right hands? That motion switch can be put in a watertight plastic conduit box with the switch mounted to the side of it and a receptacle in it as well.

[@themermaidstale5008]

I like that you ask for viewers to give a thumbs up - so I did. She looks great and the motion sensor strobe makes it so creepy. I also like when you refer to "corpsing" something - a word you don't usually hear on YT videos. You're the best! TFS

Oh my gosh I had a strobe light just like that and have had it kicking around for about 4 years. Because I never used it I figured I never would so last week I gave it away! Cool video.

[@racquellynum7420]

Love your videos!! You make them simple for us beginners. Trying the tombstones now. I wanted to try this girl but cannot pull up the measurements. Went the web site but can’t pull up the tutorial for her to get the measurements. I sent my email in. Could you email it to me?

[@timoconnell8165]

I am making 6 of these to put in my "white girl room" for my haunt thank you so much very informative I thought I was going crazy but did you explain how to make the bace? How she stands thank you

[@MonsterTutorials]

Awesome! I didn't make a base, but leaned against a wall. When I needed a base I just pounded a piece of rebar in the ground and slid one of the legs into it. Cheers, ET

I would love to see this display set up outside and working and most importantly. . .the reactions of those being scared by it.

[@slink-ethefox990]

Useful tip: on two wire electrical cords, to differentiate between the power (black) and neutral (white) sides, the power side will be smooth the whole length of the cord, the neutral side will have ridges that run the entire length. (YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET THESE BACKWARDS!) You will end up frying your motion sensor and possibly damaging your device that you have plugged in! Not to mention you may pop the circuit you have the whole thing plugged into! For added safety, plug your setup into a GFCI outlet, that way you will have a quick shut off if something goes wrong. And ALWAYS have an enclosure for wire connections!!! Even if it is inside!!! It’s better to be safe than electrocuted! Happy haunting! 🙂

[@majida70]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! Just what I was looking for 👍🏾

[@singletxguyforfun2682]

I made a couple DIY sensors with the same model of motion sensor, and somehow I couldn't get it to power more than a simple light bulb or LED. Even a 20w light wouldn't operate, so I returned them and got a Cooper MS180. Only problem with those were that the dualbright feature could not be disabled, so i cracked them open and manually covered the light sensor with tape. So I suppose if you only need to power an LED strobe, the ones in your video are fine. Anything more demanding and you'll want a different sensor. If anyone had a different outcome please let me know.

[@dawncaros2563]

What were the feet how does she stand

[@MonsterTutorials]

Slid the pvc pipe into some boots for indoors and over some rebar outdoors

[@shayinla1942]

I’m trying to make the creepy little girl sitting on the porch hiding her face and most of this tutorial works, except that her knees are bent up to her chest and that’s where I need help. Since I don’t have a porch, this prop will sit on the steps. Any suggestions as to how to get her knees bent to her chest and still have it fit on the step (approximately 16 inches wide), would be greatly appreciated.

[@solvera2890]

Materials?

[@PrettylittleliesYT]

I love your channel! I have gotten so many wonderful things to make for my absolute favorite holiday...Halloween! One question, does it matter which wires I use on my extension cord for the 3 motion sensor wires? I hope that's not a dumb question but I've never messed w/anything electrical before and I want to impress my husband. 😉 Thank you and God Bless!

[@jackie74111]

What are the measurements ???

[@badluckb0y8]

So cool man!

[@flightofapaullo72]

When you wire the extension cord, most of them have a ribbed side and the other a smooth side. Does it matter which side to wire up? Thank you.

[@HawkNutz27]

Usually one prong is bigger than the other one. The small one would be the main hot wire the bigger side would be the white wire (Nuetral).

[@flightofapaullo72]

@@HawkNutz27 Appreciate that! 👍

[@donaldvinicombe2421]

Another idea is to use your motion sensor to activate a servo motor then use to the servo to turn a gear to some kind of spring setup on a skeleton so he sits up fast in a coffin or out of the ground covered with a patch of fake grass with a tombstone

[@kristine2285]

Most excellent!!

[@margaretpierce1299]

What is the tool you use to cut the PVC pipes? Where can I get it?

[@jonviar]

Hello sir can you show us the electrical drawing on how we can do this setup the motion sensor? thanks

[@jjr897]

jon the electrical connections are not that difficult but there’s a few things he did not point out. One thing is polarity there is a hot and neutral. Reversing the polarity could burn out the motion sensor or an LED light. If you look at Power cord the wider speed on the plug 🔌 is the neutral, The smaller spade is the hot, every motion sensor you buy-wiring could be slightly different, so that hard to tell u or show you how to wire it correctly. On the Motion sensor white wire is usually neutral black wire will be hot. Most companies use a blue wire that will be hot to the 💡. So all the neutrals Will be connected to gather.

It would be so cool to leave her out for awhile, and then on Halloween night have your daughter change places with the fake girl. She would scare the hell out of everyone expecting the fake girl not to move. 😂
