What was your favorite thing?
Instant like for Master Splinter. That was my first thought too.
Honestly I love Mr. Poe in the background @15:35
10/10 He needs a cemetery.
I've always wanted a pair of realistic gargoyle wings, that I could strap to my back and truly be Batty! So seeing a gargoyle in your video only made me want this even more! 😆
I'm going to try to get to Transworld next year! 🤪
🖤🦇
I'm also thinking about making my own Krampus outfit, to join up with Krampus Seattle! 😆
The animatronic in the DarkZone where the girl folded in half and sucked into the wall!
If you guys do start doing animatronics, got an idea for you. Weeping Angel on a rotating base. Put a motion sensor in it with a 3 second delay. People walk past it, it slowly rotates towards them. If it's an animatronic, have it pull its arms down from its face as it rotates. They walk past it on the way out and the senor triggers again to put it back to default for the next group.
Well, that would scare the 💩 out of me for sure 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching! There are some other creators who did even longer Transworld walkthroughs if you want to see more stuff from the show. Stay Wicked! 🤘💀
I hope to have my episode up by next week and you guys are in it! It was amazing to meet you guys!
I'm so glad you got to go
@@TheLairofVoltaire yes!! Glad we got to meet up. How’d your show go?
@@WickedMakers Fantastic! It was a sold out show and a ton of fun!
I’m a home haunter. I’m painting skeleton flamingos. It’s July and the count down to Halloween has started.
Thanks so much for coming by the Distortions booth Wicked Makers, we enjoyed the conversations. Great job on this Best of Transworld videos! Looks like you had a wonderful time and wishing you all the best on your upcoming projects and video. Hello from all of us at Distortions.
Glad you enjoyed it and great work on your booth this year. Looking forward to working together on something. Let’s keep in touch. 🤘🏼😄
Here in Brazil we don't have this huge Halloween culture, so seeing you guys showing all these new and cool things is super amazing. I would love to see more details of the creative process of these artists, like the one that produces the masks in a more artisanal way and those that make those realistic people.
Excellent! We’re trying to figure out how to make more videos with other artists
i'm 54 and the halloween paraphenelia they have available now is just unbelievable. even the cheapo props at rite aid are far beyond what was available when i was a kid.
Even more kitschy shops like At Home, TJMaxx and Homegoods have some really good vampire decor! You have to check every week starting June or else you'll miss out on the gems.
I work at a sign shop where we make large durable HDU foam letters. We use multiple coats of Drylock to make them ultra durable. They roll it on instead of brushing to get even coats, and they do like 4-5 coats for maximum durability. This is how you make foam props that people can crawl on.
This was really fun! So glad you were able to check it out and thanks for taking us along. Can’t wait to see what you’re inspired to do next!!
Glad you liked it!!!
Oh man, I loved watching this. I got so inspired just seeing it- and now I kind of want to make my own mask!
I do want to point out that the werewolf puppet is a rig that's been functional over the years at many top-tier Halloween attractions, such as Halloween Horror Nights. I'm so happy it got a spotlight here, it's such an awesome scare!
I loved meeting y’all there at Transworld!! I’m so glad to see y’all had a great time and enjoyed a lot of the stuff there! Can’t wait to see what ideas y’all have gotten from there because I’ve sure gotten a lot more thank last year!! Again so nice to meet y’all and stay safe!!
You too!! Was great to meet and yeah we got SO MANY IDEAS!!! Hope you had a great show as well
I can't until one day your work is presented there.
Seeing you build one from scratch would be insane. I'd watch the heck out of that series.
TIL there's a convention for my wife and I to attend next year. Thanks for the exposure!
I wish Halloween was more popular in Australia.
Transworld looks amazing.
Oh my gosh! At 3:31 I was like…”gosh that guy looks super familiar” and then it hit me like a ton of bricks, he was a contestant on a body painting show I used to watch years ago. Glad to see he’s still doing it! 😂
Yep. That was Dutch from Skin Wars.
I thought he looked like Guy Fieri
@@JackieTheVampire Haha! It’s his side gig when he isn’t chowing down at a dive. 😂
@@Lydia_Swenson 😂
I was wondering if anyone caught on to that! 😂to my husband it was like "hey there's Dutch!" Since we just rewatched the first season of skin wars
Omgggg transworldddd hope y’all had an amazing time!!! Stay wicked everyone!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
We 100% did!!
@@WickedMakers so glad y’all did!!! It’s a fun experience one day I’ll go loll as I wanna enjoy this too!
I love the scare factory! My favorite part is where Pumpkin head looks perfect in giant scarecrow, tree monster, or ghost 7:50 - 8:50
This is why I want to make Pumpkin Head into a custom doll because after seeing some movies and posters I was quite disappointed on how he looked from
a gargoyle, from Gremlin like alien, but these version are way better. I wish you guys good luck on your collab.
it’s so crazy how much a flashing light can help the motion look more realistic!! such a cool place, although i think i’m a little too high anxiety to ever actually attend so this is a great vid to experience it through haha!
Thanks for showing our booth! Our DIY Mechanisms are made exactly for the “Maker” in mind! 🧟♂️
Your stuff was awesome!
I have to add that Morris Costumes has the best customer service. I had an animatronic that was long discontinued and it broke. There were no more replacements so they basically sent me two old armatures to scavenge parts from. I was able to fix my prop with gears from both.
Thank y’all for the flashing lights warning ! Us epileptics appreciate it
Of course! It was intense
@@WickedMakers love the videos !🥰
Ok, first; that fog-gun would be PERFECT for a Mr. Freeze costume!! =D
#2, and did I spot a Cthulhu...?!
#3, YES!!! Do Master Splinter!! : D
#4, and once again, shout-out to Distortions Unltd. !! I still love 'Making Monsters'! =)
This looks like a blast. We've always decorated our house for all holidays but Halloween is my favorite. Its nice to see, even a few, animatronics, that are not terrifying. I love seeing the little kids come to our house trick-or-treating. I want to give them a scare, not scar them for life. Props for the Eye of the Beholder shirt. I played that game when I was in college.
I would LOVE to go to transworld...Sadly we don't really have much in the UK that's similar and if we do its probably miles from me! These kinds of things are so amazing to me, Id love to learn how to create things in such magnificent detail as these. The artistry is gorgeous, the animatronics are so Fluid and spooky, I love it! Thank you for showing these!
Yeah they’re amazing! It’s a great show to visit someday.
So cool I wish I was there 😢
It was so fun
5:18 Master Splinter would be SO cool!
I got so excited over seeing you in Aurelio Voltaire's video, because I didn't get the notification for this one at all! 😭 Halloween culture in Europe is small, vut we're getting there! I can't wait to really get into it this year 🥰
It’s getting bigger every year!! 🤘🏼😄🎃
Interesting that Distortions was your favorite, cause watching one of their videos about the alien/monster attached to the wall was what led me to you guys, you popped up in my feed once I was done with that vid. I really would love to have that alien/monster just for myself it's my favorite thing that they make....one day hopefully. Thanks for sharing your walkthrough, it was super cool to see everything!!
Thank you so much for your Transworld review. I especially appreciated that you referenced the name of the Vendors with the gear so I can find them on the internet. Great Job!!!!
I love Ed and Distortions Unlimited. Making Monsters is tied with Face/Off with the best shows ever put on TV lol
An animatronic exorcist Teddy bear would be a fun project. Spinning head, loose stitches, patchwork, flashing eyes. My buddy made a UFO costume for his kid and has a bunch of foam boards left, we are planing on using your blue prints from the Mimic build and make a whole bunch of presents with teeth.
Awesome!! Yeah
16:38 OMG, DUTCH!! I saw Skin wars and I LOVED his art!! O_O
What an awesome video and edit! Great seeing you both at the show. Best wishes on all your future projects!
Thanks!! Was great to see you and hope you have a great year as well. You going to be at MHC?
At 15:31 that Frankenstein next to the gargoyle looks absolutely awesome!
Yes!!!
The Post Office is there for folks to ship stuff home that don't want to carry it on the plane. Wicked Beholder shirt!!!
Ahhhhh right on 😄
Jamie's hair is amazing. Im jealous🎃
Lmao the Fungi(fun guy) pun for the mushroom zombie😂😂😂
I got to attend Transworld. This was my 2nd year and I had a blast, came as my alter ego the Punisher...beware!!!! Met some awesome folks this year can't wait to return next year!!
Love love love the format of this video!! There are so many walkthroughs out there, but this is like a newscast in the best way! Your personalities get to shine!
1:00 yes excited for the animatronic video. I've always wanted to build one using frightprops but I've been too scared to try 🙈
Nice!!!
That was totally awesome!! Thanks for taking us along. Looks like you had a great time.
"New this year! Wicked Makers Halloween playground...in their front yard!"
Lots of REALLY cool stuff. I'm glad you guys got to go to the show!
Well that skeleton centaur spider is true nightmare fuel! Lmao.
OMG yes a Collab with Distortions will be super crazy and amazing, much needed.
So glad you guys got to go this year! Hopefully I can see you guys next year since I skipped this year. Love the top 23 list, high quality video! You guys rock!
We’ll definitely be there next year! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Number 3! Haha! So proud of everyone who worked their butts off on that house! #13thfloor
Yes!!
Great seeing you guys! Thank you for signing my hoodie lol😂🤩
Hahah! Happy to, anytime
Would love to see your spin on the Mangy Rat!
Yes!!!
The guy Who sells knives in the mail place there made me laugh so bad and when I saw the mail I said in my head ,you got mail😂
I love Halloween, like really love Halloween. I got married on Halloween.
Unfortunately the rest of my family are not into it. Even my 9 year old... he doesn't like candy! I'm beginning to question if he's really my kid.
So, I stopped decorating and passing out candy before the pandemic hit and now Halloween is just very depressing, because I have no one to share it with. The old me would have had so much fun at this expo.
Great job, guys! 👏 Loved that you showed the actual vendor name and what they have. 💓
Oh the part of my brain this tickles is why I only have a few friends that can stand me... Halloween starts November 1st of the previous year for me... Oh the ideas, the themes, the planning, and collaboration with friends... it sustains me...
Hahah yes!! Same here
Looks like you two had a cracking time i'm so jealous.
Barry (ENG)
I LOVE Transworld! I’ve never been, but I’ve watched so many videos and it’s ALWAYS AWESOME!!
You two are so cute together... I wish I had that kind of connection with a significant other like you guys have. Love and appreciate your passion and delivery!
Thank you for sharing your tour with us.
Thank you for watching!!
My favorite "prop" is when you think it is an animatronic but it ends up being a real person.
Hahha yes!!
Years ago when Return of the King first came out in theaters I was working at a bookstore in a mall. My manager let me dress up in my homemade Wraith costume & stand in front of the store holding a couple hardcover books for 2 hours. I had SO much fun freaking people out. Lots of exclamations of "OMG it moved!" "That's a real person!" or just outright screams. Best, though, was a little boy who was scared of me, until I shook his hand. Then he just got this huge grin on his face.
This looks like something I would Love... I wish we had this local!
Yeah!!
Electric chair guy! TFS, GB :)
Nice coverage, was not able to make it but hope to see you two at Midwest Haunter Convention in June.
You both are so talented with your Halloween diy passion. I can only imagine how much inspiration was absorbed from this experience.
Those animatronics in the dark room had me drooling!! Some of them moved as if paid actors were actually inside them. AND THE BAT!!! I would want in my livingroom all year. Bats are my favorite.
I used to bartend at a place in NYC called The Night Gallery. If you hadn't been there, I think you two would've loved it.
I'm glad you had such a great time ❣️
I love seeing the experience that you guys had. I especially love the explorations into the more individual artists, I am always so blown away by the care and craft and passion that has led to their success.
I bought their rust set up. I've had really good results, but pay attention to what they say about letting it set and dry facing up. So do any 3-d props a side at a time. And buy the paint they say to.
Nice good to know
It has been my childhood dream to someday visit transworld
I LOVE this video. Which we had an event like this in the uk
I appreciate the love! See y’all next year. 😊 #BlueHatGuy 🧢
#GOAT
First year in 13 years I missed it. Such a fun time
We made a vortex (fog) cannon a couple years back for a mad scientist trunk or treat. I was a huge it, the kids all loved having smoke rings shot at them. I made it in two evenings (mostly paint drying time) and it would be a super cool video idea.
Nice!!!
The one at 9:44 hanging and screaming looks real
There probably should be a flash warning before The Dark Zone section of the video, but super cool!
There’s a huge one at the beginning of the video. There’s flashing all over. 😄
@@WickedMakers Oh, sorry, must have forgotten about it by the time we hit that section.
So cool what an amazing place👍🏻🪦💀 can’t wait to see what you do this year for Halloween👍🏻🦇
5:20 Son, that's a Skaven
This is so awesome, I would love to go to a show like this! ❤️
I wish i could like your videos 3 times. I cannot believe I have never been to Transworld before
That's good to hear. When I fail I want to give up. It takes so much to push through failure.
We all go through it. Perseverance is an important quality for any maker!
@@WickedMakers but I also have a slight ocd and want everything perfect, I would micromanage every little detail. Like when it comes to 3D modeling, I would zoom in n as far as I can to make sure the virts line up and I want the lines to be straight. I'm slowly trying to get myself past this. Tell myself that imperfections are ok.
@@-_IT_- Yeah I totally get it. There’s an old saying: “Perfection is the enemy of progress”. A lot of people get hung up on needing it to be perfect which holds you back from just moving forward. Try to let yourself be okay with a model and just say ok I learned from this one. Let’s get better vert alignment on the next one.
That werewolf puppet by Creature Corp is awesome!! I admire good old fashion props so much. My opinion is that practical effects are the way to go. I'm not terribly into animatronics. I mean, some of them are great, but a quality scare must be believable!
I was watching Distortion's Making Monsters, and found your channel shortly after finishing season 2. I am so stoked to see a full overview of this convention. I hope to one day attend it. There are several artists and companies that I recognized, and it ignited my love for practical effects, Halloween 24/7 baby!! Subscribed to learn and see more of what you guys do!!
Cant wait to go to Trans World one day. Looks Great!
Fantastic video, thanks for posting it and sharing your experiences at T W. 2023, especially from those of us who couldn't make it this year, much appreciated! 👍🎃👻
Thanks For Sharing Your Experience at the Show, Thought Alot of the Special Effects So Cool. Glad You Went and Showed Your Highlights of it. So Nice To See How Props Are Made and Staged. Awesome. ☺️💜🥰💕🥳
You guys should do a makeover on twitching clown
Hehe, we used to make the fog canons all the time back in college in the physics department. Shoot them across the physics building's main lobby at each other. The magic of vortices.
LOVE the DIY Animatronic stuff. Especially the examples of what to do. Really hope you're able to put together a few videos on how you're doing that. Recently got into Arduino and Adafruit boards and LEDs. Haven't started experimenting with servos yet but it's only my radar of things to get a hold of and play with. What a fun trade show to go to. Would be a blast to walk around and soak it all in.
Also, I like to make witch-wands for cosplay. Have you guys ever done a video about that? Because I could always use some tips. =)
The A1 fog gun almost look like Will Smith prop gun from his hit movie “men in black”
This is such a great roundup of the show. We can't wait to see what y'all create this year! 😃
I love going to shows like this!!! You get so many ideas!!! 😈
Pretty sure the best things at Transworld was you guys 😁
Hahah! Idk blue hat guy was awesome
That's insane! I LOVE IT!
This was my favorite coverage of the show. Can't wait to see what you come up with this season!!!!!
Glad to hear it. 🤘🏼😄 Thanks for watching.
I love when conventions have the weird companies that you go "why are they here?". Like PAXAUS had our national broadband network last year, and like sure because gaming and the Internet, but it was still weird because there was just a theatre named after it for the show.
Hahah yes exactly
It was awesome to get to see you guys there. Loved the video of the show. Look forward to seeing you next year.
Ah! I missed you guys. Hope you’ll be there next year
We will!
WOW! What a great convention - thanks for sharing. Can't wait until we see what you two do next!
Love Transworld
The whole video was like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WOW❣️That was a fantastic tour❗️So many unique characters and animatronics. I really enjoyed that hamburger mask. Some of those creatures were creepily cute and others were beyond gruesome and so realistic. It was great to see some of my favorite classic creatures. The fog gun looked like a real blast. Thanks so much for the great footage and videography. It’s nice to be able to walk around and not be stuck in a booth. Glad you were able to experience this. Very awesomely impressive. 👍
So glad I got to meet you guys at Transworld!!! And that beholder shirt, you better make that massive beholder you talked about! That would be so cool!!!!
Thanks for opening my eyes....dream job making this stuff! Appreciate the video
Awesome yeah go for it!!
I wanted to go for years! It just looks sooo cool! Thanks for taking us along the journey! Hope I can make it one year.
I wonder if the post office was there to talk with people about what they could and could not send through the post office since their are so many things there I can see being a bit of a hazard if it opened up in shipping. The people there are selling their work so if they had any chemicals that had to go with the pieces or had any questions on shipping restrictions, there was the post office there to talk about what they could and could not do. I don't know, it makes sense to me and maybe that was why they were there. It might be amazing if you guys ever had a chance to have your own booth there some day. I think your stuff is pretty much on par with a lot of what we saw!
Hahah yes!! We’d love to have a booth but it’s also so much fun just walking around and meeting everyone
