Alan one of the things I truly appreciate about you is the fact that you bring us props we never would think to make ourselves. The great thing about that is, for somebody like me who enjoys building haunted houses, it really allows us to delve into creative builds that we would have never thought of without you. So I guess what I'm saying is, thanks for being you Alan!
@@StiltbeastStudios absolutely! I've been making my own props from recycled materials ever since I started watching your tutorials five years ago. I really appreciate that you interact with us and are so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. This truly is a community...a community of weirdos. But I'm ok with that. 😄
When you're really excited to try one of Allen's project but you need some last minute supplies....Walmart run!...your cart ends up with just zip ties, plastic tarps and latex gloves and when you get to the register you realize it looks like you're buying a murder kit 😦 😂
@@StiltbeastStudios it was too funny to let go out without a remark. At least you know we watched the whole video! And thanks introducing us to the versatility of pool noodles as a light weight and reasonably strong frame for just about anything. They aren’t just for filing out the shirt on prop arms anymore.
Amazing as usual! Why did I see the thumbnail and think in my head back to the “where’s the beef” campaign from Burger King with the old ladies.... here’s the Beef! Hope y’all are doing great 🎃🎃❤️
This was a fun build. Came up with a few twists I'm going to try on the next one. Had noodles left so built up a goat. Skinned it with left over yard fabric. Then sprayed it with truck bed lining. Trying different materials on this prop. Got lucky and got a case of noodles for$5. Retail rebel.
My dude, I have been binging your videos the past few weeks and i just realized I haven't commented on any of them. These are all fantastic and I've been learning a lot. I've been using a few techniques for dnd props. The other day I made a mimic out of a pizza box. Used spray foam for the gum liklbe and broken plastic utensils as the teeth. I think it turned out great. Keep up the greet work!
This looks beautiful and yet absolutely vile. The final touch of gloss is what really makes this disturbing, and I can only imagine how this will look in show lights. Thanks Allan!!!!
omg... this gave me the nest idea and method to make the top shell of a Haunted Mansion Doom buggy...the noodle is flexible and large enough to make the canopy area! Thanks for the inspo!!! This beef prop would be the perfect compliment to a Rocky Balboa cosplay lol
These videos inspire me to make a home haunt but I've never built one from the ground up. I've worked in them for years but never created one by myself. Keep up the fantastic work!
we can make smaller things at a desk. have you seen my glass eye video? mobility is a factor for some things, but there are things you can make and do. If you want to talk about desk projects let me know and I will think of more!
Not that I will be making a side of beef soon (lol) but so many great techniques for other projects, which is why people (not just haunters) love your videos! A couple of questions....1. the ribs you can see, they have caulking? 2. Why do the outline of muscles in black to cover with caulking? Thanks again for all your patience making these videos so easy to follow.....Bravo
yes, I speared caulking over them also, I did the muscle outline in order to see them better- not all of the lines were covered , I made sure the ones I didnt like were covered lol. also if I was doing a bloody version I would gloss there and add blood.
You never stop blowing my mind. We’re making a large rod puppet, and we were gonna make the body out of paper mache. Now I think we should do it this way. Seeing you put these tried and true different techniques together in new ways never fails to impress. Very, very creative!
This is an excellent template for any animal carcass! You can go a little smaller and do a goat or a pig. Really dig the versatility of these projects! Thanks for another epic build. 🖤
I love that you show us stuff we would want to make but wouldn't know where to start. your channel really sparks my creativity. Once I see how you start and I see it coming together the juices just start flowing and i NEED to go make stuff!!! Thank you!
I don't know about y'all... but halfway into this video I've got a hankering for some ribs or a ribeye steak... I guess it's true you shouldn't go shopping if you're hungry... and doubly true in this case watching a How-To video making a prop food item!
@@StiltbeastStudios Mr. Hopps something dawned on me the other day. I haven't seen you guys go live anymore on Sundays/Saturdays! Do you still do live shows?
Looks great and I think it better to make yourself way cheaper than what some props stores sell for this way it's $20 to $40 bucks then with sales of $ 1.000 and up . " Just shoot it in your hand " 😂
You always do such amazing work, and it’s so inspirational to me. I totally want to just go buy a bunch of pool noodles and start building giant animal carcasses. I don’t know what you’re using to record, but it looks like you need to occasionally wipe that lens off. It is a bit foggy around the edges and catches a lot of light flare.
I have a butcher shop every year. Always wanted some hanging beef, pigs also for that matter but didn’t know how to go about making them. Thank you so so very much for this!! Any ideas on a meat display case? Done on the cheap? Never hurts to ask! Thanks again Allen!!!
@@StiltbeastStudios I was thinking a glass front. Like a deli case situation. The curved glass ones that have the long trays of cuts of meat in them. I have body parts currently that I place in a shelf but they are somewhat hard to see.
no. pipe insulation is not dense enough for this. You can get them from dollar tree during halloween or from foamnoodles.com . I buy 50 for $150 delivered.
Not a vegan freindly video...lol.. I just went plant based...lol..j/k. I love this! Never would have thought about this...and you were right, definitely worth the wait. It came out awesome. Very well thought out and planned too. You crushed it..."when in doubt, shoot it in your hands"......what exactly are you talking about here sir? 🤣🤣🤣. As always thank you 🤘💀
no, they are not that fire safe. and they wont absorb flame retardant either. they are safer than styrofom which is the main other material faux pumpkins are made from
you could do that, but I didnt want a thin layer I wanted at least 1/8" of silicone all over so thinning it would be counter productive I think. and if you did that, then you couldnt "shoot it in your hand"
This is exactly what we were needing! Thanks so much for sharing! May I ask where you bought the black pool noodles? This would also look fantastic in a "rotten" finish to mimic a finish offered by the big boys.
you dont have to use black since they are all covered. during halloween dollar tree has black ones- if you cant wait then foamnoodles.com/ also has them I buy 50 at a time from them and it runs $150 delivered.
@@StiltbeastStudios I agree, black isn't necessary, but the only black I had seen until now was pipe insulation. I will be making a couple of these for this season for sure. Thanks!

“Once you’re good at it, you’re good at it.” - Best tag line ever.
its the second half of practice makes perfect. You cant just expect what I say to make sense lol.
See, I was gonna go with 'when in doubt, shoot it in your hand'
Allen needs to write an inspirational motivating word/poem book. It would be #1 on the best sellers list!!!
“When in doubt, shoot it in your hand!” 😂
a 36 minute video and this is your takeaway lol.

Amazing work can’t wait to give this a try thank you sir 🐄🐂
Hope you enjoy

Probably my favorite how in awhile. Where do you get black pool noodles?
two places dollar tree has them during Halloween-
or www.foamnoodles.com I buy 50 noodles from them for $150 delivered.
I love it honestly best video for horror prop I've seen on CZcams and question how do pro haunters make a hard /durable surface ????
most propr are a 10lb or denser foam. if you want this harder, just fiberglass the whole thing before you paint it, then proceed as normal.
@@StiltbeastStudios
Interesting never thought of that
Looks tasty
sorta...
Let’s heat the Grill - and have a great meal together ... 〽️
Mario!
"Shoot it in your hand" aye aye... Giggity
What? just right in your hand.....always wear a glove of course.
@StiltbeastStudios - Wait... Where do you get the black pool noodles? or are you getting the pipe insulation from home depot?
no. pipe insulation is not dense enough for this. You can get them from dollar tree during halloween or from foamnoodles.com . I buy 50 for $150 delivered.
Fantastic. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Since many of the noodles are simply for shape/ contour, couldn’t you cut the noodles lengthwise to double your materials/save costs?
its also your structure, so I would not skimp too much.
I love it Allan your so smart
I get by, thank you.
thats awesome !! Wish i had a use for a side of beef ... But if i ever do i know where to go thanks for sharing !! HFL!!
Thanks for watching!
did you get a notification?
No I didn't but I seen it on Facebook on the hangout
This is so cool thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Only thing missing if you will.... that USDA Blue ink stamp.
yeah, great idea!
Allen are they pool noodles or like pipe insulation? I've never seen the black before

Im always talking about caulk my friend!
@@StiltbeastStudios 🤣 classic...lol
I know you use a lot of pool noodles however how do you make it fire safe? Do you just spray it?
no, they are not that fire safe. and they wont absorb flame retardant either. they are safer than styrofom which is the main other material faux pumpkins are made from
Just make it bloodier and everything will be alright !!!!!
indeed!
allen could you thin silicone with Naptha and brush it on ?? or would it melt the plastic
you could do that, but I didnt want a thin layer I wanted at least 1/8" of silicone all over so thinning it would be counter productive I think.
and if you did that, then you couldnt "shoot it in your hand"
Do you put speakers in these of flies buzzing around? eewwwwwww.
you could!
Fun!
thanks!
Do u have a video on the Frankenstein build?
no but kind of- it was the build a mannequin technique but we extended the parts by cutting and filling to make it taller
Where did you buy so many pool noodles for 1$?
Dollar Tree has them but they tend to taper off after Labor Day- hurry! Go get you some!
