Afew years ago l helped a friend who does name plates on caskets & marble mosoleum face plaques.... found out that high end caskets are often shipped in foam lined crates, so I'm sure any funeral director would be glad to have someone take the blocky sheets away !!
I’ll stick with my poor man’s pumpkins instead, that’s a huge piece of styrofoam, wow! I’m impressed. We make pumpkins with a filled plastic bag, tape, and the expanding foam from loctite
Jen we hear ya on the expense for materials it can get crazy even buying expanding foam. We got lucky on these large blocks because we picked these scraps up from the studios for FREEEEE! can't beat that price.
Exterior brick and stone masons face houses with foam before attaching the faux stonework. Builders supply companies often sell this thick foam at bargain prices.
Advanced Foam in Gardena has good pricing and quick lead time. The gun was your best recommendation ever this year. Made life so much easier - recommend ALWAYS where gloves. That stuff is a pain when it gets on the skin …
@@deannaduncan1775 yes I was just trying to describe what I meant if I just said pumpkin man that could be taken many ways. I was meaning stacked pumpkin man of 3 pumpkins with a face on the top one similar to a snowman. I get what you are saying though.
@@deannaduncan1775 I didn't take it as rude your are fine no bad feelings at all. Lol just wanted to clarify for anyone that might not of understood what I meant in my comment. Hope you are having a good day. Thanks for your comment.
Now y’all just need to build a giant 3-story house with a basement (outta foam) to store all those wonderful creations!💪🤷🏻♀️❤️ PS- I love you guys so much. Been following and cheering for about 4 years now!🤘👍🙌
🍊 awesome. I mostly make papier mache pumpkins, but if I ever find some foam Im going to try to make a pumpkin. Thank you as always both of you are my inspiration. I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks for making me read the instructions on the great stuff kit I got, with the gun, great information, hopefully they will bring out other cans that fit the gun eventually, although the hazmat costs to get them to Australia are killing me. Love your pumpkins!!
Have you ever thought of creating a vacuum table... A pegboard top with a catch chamber below with a larger shop vac connected in the side of the collection box below. Might save on the cleanup!
I’ve always wanted to do some Halloween diy projects but have felt so intimidated with the power tools but your tutorials are really informative and make it seems not so bad to use the tools so maybe I might take the plunge and just try it out.
Your welcome. I have a question, how can I remove paint from my kitchen cabinets without damaging the wood? When I moved into my house the people before us painted and didn't do a good job and got paint on the cabinets and it looks terrible and I've been wanting to try to clean the paint off but I'm not sure what I can use and don't want to damage my cabinets, so anything you can suggest would be helpful
This would work well if you kinda make them lopsided, cause some grow laying flat on the ground and kinda look melted. I love this! Keeping this in mind for when I finally have my own place.
our town's recycling center has a separate section for bringing styrofoam to recycle - of course there will be all kinds of types there, but for small pieces we can usually pick up something that works!
You guys are amazing! Those were awesome pumpkins. I'm still a major beginner with styrofoam but once you get the steady hand you definitely see a difference. Thank you for sharing.
You guys are amazing!!! Those pumpkins are awesome, thank you so much for sharing your techniques with us. You guys are so sweet and fun to watch. I will definitely subscribe. Thank you, Thank you.
Docks in the lake of the ozarks have large solid foam cores in the floats. Old docks just have foam without the plastic coating, but it usually breaks apart over time and litters the lake. There's recycling facilities that can probably offer it for cheap or free.
I love what you guys do. I don't live in sunny California though. I live in Montréal, Canada. I always wonder how the weather proofing would (or will) hold up to our Canadian winters.Also, I don't have enough shed space to shelter my Halloween decorations. I can wrap them in plastic or put smaller decorations in plastic bins. But they live outside all year round. 35 degrees celcius in summer during heat waves and minus 20 celcius in winter. Snowy wet weather in January and February. Can these pumpins survive two months in a snow bank?
First time viewer. What do you do with them, sell them? If for your self, you must have a ton of storage space. Very interesting and they turned out amazing! 😊 🎃
Hi! We made these to display but also have been selling them and making custom orders. We would love to have a bunch one year for a halloween display 🎃
Can I say that I appreciate you taking time to say “everyone might not have a disc sander or power tools” I watch loads of these videos about crafting and the number of times it moves to “I’m using a belt sander here” or “I just pull out my plunge router” Obviously there are hand made manual options. But thanks for saying it.
Just subbed, and smashed like on this video. I am in awe, about to ask if you sell these they are awesome, but I was thinking other than turning it into a dog house when it's not the season for such, there would be no where to store it. Though one day I hope to have a nice faux garden scene on my property. I can see a need in my future. I know it would sure turn heads if I needed something to grab peeps attention. Awesome you are guys are so talented. Glad I found the chanel.
We do have molds, that's how we created the jack o lanterns at the end 🙂 You may have missed that part but that's what we did for the Winchester Mystery House.
@HollywoodHaunter ! Love this video! I have a question for you though. In your experience, what would you guys recommend for hardcoating a foam character sculpt, that will still allow me to retain the smoothe surfaces and details of the sculpt, but is still easily sandable and durable? Unfortunately I can't use fiberglass mesh because I'll loose the detail, but I still need it to be durableand sandable. I like how you were able to keep the details on your gnarly Indiana Jones Snakes and was hoping you could point me in the right direction? THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD HAUNTER!!!!!
So out of all the materials we have personally worked with I'd say the EpoxAmite Smooth-On we mentioned. You can apply 2 or 3 thin layers and still keep most of the details. Its going to be pretty hard to the touch and it sands and paints easy. It won't stop like a hammer impact but its worked of sculptures we have done in the past. There are so many options available now but if you really don't want to lose any detail from applying material you may need to make a silicone mold and then cast it with a hard resin, plaster, or something.
Thank youa I'm definitely going to try the Epoxamite now. You guys rock! Seriously, thank you for enriching the Haunter community with your talent and experience!
Amazing ! Talent in those props . You should sell fiberglass half pumpkins from the molds with a hinge on the side so they could be shipped in halves and put away after use. Have you done Easter eggs or a Bunny ?
We get blocks of foam from our mennonite neighbors they own a pole barn company they build hundreds of barns a year in our area and are always offering us free foam sheets and blocks
Love your props. I miss doing Halloween but live high on mountain ridge now and now neighborhood kids but did it for 40 years. Where do y'all store your stuff. Happy Halloween.
We try to make most of our large facades modular so they are able to be broken done and stored. As far as props go we store the largest ones in the garage and then tuck all the little ones everywhere else haha!
This is not a question but a tip from another creator. Siltbeats Studios uses locktite foam it is more expensive, but you can work it more, and it doesn't expand as much.
There is a big difference one is paint with a little sand texture and the other is cement. It just depends on how much trouble you want to go to. Paint sealer is better than nothing but honestly I'd just mix a little sand or something in a latex color of choice and its the same in my book. the mortar is much harder but we still faux paint over it. The mortar gives it a stronger coating and looks more real texture wise. In the yard and in the dark you really don't notice so again its what ever you want to try. We wanted a smoother look to the pumpkins so you can sand the cement a little but it does still crack it the prop is huge cause the foam expands in the temp.
One of the very few advantages of living in So Cal is we are able to pick up most materials for free from all the production companies. We really don't pay for much other than hard coating products on many of our projects. You could always check your freebies in your area if you want to save some money.
LOVE your channel! We're beginner prop set makers (actually my wife has her degree in tech director/theater set design from UofA) and REALLY need your advice. I'm making a faux brick wall, about 225 sq.ft., for a podcast studio. We hot wire carved 1/2" foam sheets using various tools to create grout lines and "weather" the brick for a rustic aged look. After gluing the foam to the walls, we went with all purpose foamcoat from hotwire foam factory using a hopper. It's very expensive and spraying it on was faster and looks great, but, it's not as hard and we've already run out of our first 50lb order. Would I be able to spray a second coat of this flexbond on top of the foam coat to make it harder? Just don't want it to get damaged by guests, chairs, etc. As you said in your video, "the thicker the better". Reason I ask is that the flexbond is grainier and sandlike whereas the foamcoat is like fine flour. Not sure if that will make a difference. Thanks! Keep up the great content.
Hey Adrian sounds like a fun project. We went to UofA and even built a couple sets for the theater back in the day 20 years ago. I know of the foam coat you mentioned but have never tried it. You may have to test and see if the mortar adheres to the top of the foam coat. If it does it should create a harder surface. If you don't mind shelling out some more money you could use an epoxy resin like smoothon epoxamite, or epsilon pro, or shellshock. It may be easier to work with but Try the mortar see if it works in a small area. Wish you the best of luck with your project.
Online-so far, is not free for basic foam. They caught on. Maybe calling to see if foam is available that was once used for refrigerators taken out of the boxes at home depot is available?

How many coats of the mortar do you all put on the pumpkins for outdoor use and how long/well do they hold up????

So cool. Gonna need to move to a warehouse soon for these large reproductions. Can blow molds be made this big?
I like the way you think! And yes I believe we could figure that out 👍
And you were right. Craigslist. Just found HUGE blocks for free in Spokane. I'm tempted....
Yay!!!!
Great how to video. I like Gina’s new hair cut too. 🎃
Thank you so much! The beginning of the video was taken back in 2016 when I had short hair. I really need to have it cut and styled again.

Make a mold after hard coating, mass produce then market. Easy money.
We do have molds, that's how we created the jack o lanterns at the end 🙂 You may have missed that part but that's what we did for the Winchester Mystery House.

Do you have a video on how to make the fiberglass molds? Finding foam in my area is difficult.
No we don't 😮💨
This is not a question but a tip from another creator. Siltbeats Studios uses locktite foam it is more expensive, but you can work it more, and it doesn't expand as much.
Absolutely beautiful work and attention to detail! Thanks for sharing
I like the concrete coating idea but I see a lot of people use Drylock. Is there a big difference between the two?
There is a big difference one is paint with a little sand texture and the other is cement. It just depends on how much trouble you want to go to.

Thank you for sharing. I do have a question about how much does it cost in matirels to make one of those pumpkins?
I just depends on if you have any materials or if you find free stuff. You could easily spend $200 just on resins or epoxies if you went that route.
@@HollywoodHaunter Wow! I figure it would be $$$$ on the resins or epoxies.
Neat! Have you tried mixing outdoor modpodge with the dust of the foam to fill the cracks?

These are the most amazing thing I've seen! Those stems!!! I will be in my new home next Halloween and I will DEFINITELY be doing this!!!!
Woo Hoo!!!
Been dying to try Tuff 2 as a foam coat. Its a rubber concrete product to seal exterior foam. Could be a perfect product.
That is worth a try I have seen bed liner spray used as a hard coat and that seemed to work well
@@HollywoodHaunter I tired that too but the solvents in the liner ate through the foam like crazy
@@HollywoodHaunter Also had to prime it with an oil based primer because latex paint beaded off. Killer coating though.
I have a question, can you mix your qrinding powder from sanding and grinding with glue to fill in the cracks?
You two are adorable !
Incredibly amazing awesome!
Thank you!
Brilliant and beautiful 🎃🥰
Omg I love these pumpkins. Great work. You both are unbelievable artists.❤️
