Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you, almost there.

I got the canvas from Home Depot in 2019. I glued brick scene setters to the canvas to make the walls the way they are now.

@@internettroll7604 thanks for your quick response and info.

I made a bunch of them last year and had 6 out with statues for about 12 months now. Through winter snow and a hot summer. I had to touch up two of them the other week. One I had hit with a weedwacker while trimming the lawn, and another that I had walked into and knocked over/fell on. 🙄 Other than that they held up well. I made a bunch the a week or so ago and touch up those two when I made up a batch of the monster mud for the new ones.

Thank you

I would not have the haunt I do without so many others creating videos and sharing their ideas over the years and they deserve credit for what they have done and the influence they have had on me. Vanoaksprops, Stiltbeast, Diablo, PumpkinRot and so many others. It’s part of what makes the community so good.

@@internettroll7604 That attitude is what makes me fall in love with haunting and haunters all over again. Thanks for existing!! 🥰

I got all the statues in the picture except the center one from Home Depot of the last 8 or so years. I was disappointed they did not have any this year. The gargoyle in the center was from At Home last year. They don’t have that one this year, but they have a different one that is very nice for $119.

Thanks, I got all of them but the center one at Home Depot during their Halloween season over the years. The center one is from At Home last year. At Home has a different and in my opinion better one this year. Home Depot has a pretty cool gargoyle and base for $99 this year.

I think they will hold it without any trouble. The HD buckets are pretty well built. The heaviest gargoyle I use on the pedestals has 25 pounds or so of concrete in it and the pedestal holds it just fine.

I hope it works out well for you if you do it.

Thank you!

Thank you, that was one of the earlier props I made around 2015

Thanks, it’s going to be a fun theme Halloween night.

Thanks, good tip.

Thanks, lots of 5 gallon buckets that will work well. A buddy of mine has a bunch that held chlorine tablets for his pool that he is giving me next week.

Thank you for pointing that out. We are taking her back and returning it or getting a new one. Between that and part of her staff not working I have no confidence in this unit. The company mailed out a new staff piece but the I am done messing with this one.

Home Depot carries it. He is currently sold out on line but it is possible it will come back in stock. Also check your local Home Depot store when they put out Halloween.

I threw the bag out soon after the video so all is good. 😃

No problem. Hope you can make good use of it.

Thank you!

1/2 inch rebar. You can make do with shorter rebar but I normally use 8 to 10 inches in the leg and about 6 to 8 in the ground.

Search for stiltbeast studios plastic corpsing. Well worth the 20 minutes. My video is here. ua-cam.com/video/e92Q4X1dPt4/v-deo.html

Hi, with an 8 foot skeleton the leg bones are going to be larger and there will be a lot more slop/movement in the leg that might make it hard to do with 1/2 inch rebar. I would consider using zip ties to attach 3/4 in pvc to the back of the legs and running the rebar through there so that you don’t get that slop. I have a link to pictures of what I am talking about. I did it for a mannequin. You could attach the pvc to the leg bones the same way. www.halloweenforum.com/threads/finally-got-off-my-lazy-butt-and-started-making-new-props.148097/post-2636019 I would also reinforce all the connections between joints as much as you can. An 8 foot skeleton is going to have more weight and want to bend a lot more. It might even be worth running a longer pieced of pvc up both the back parts of the the legs to get the extra stability. Good luck, I would love to know if it works or not.

@@internettroll7604 Thank you so much!! Halloween is my favorite time of year and I always go all out! I wish I could get the 12 foot skeleton but he's always sold out. Thanks again for your help
