- Make bodies from blue barrels- thats right, turn the easy to get staple decoration into the much coveted full size standing figure. This will take about 2 hours and is so worth it for the POP that full figures add to your display.
You need
A clean blue plastic 55 gallon drum
a wig head
mask of your choosing
zip ties
black duct tape
fake hands- any will work, this is what I used
www.athome.com...
Clothing to dress it
spray paint to distress it and paint the base
some kind of fake shoe or foot (the video will explain)
What I love is that you make it so economical to dream and do anything Halloween! That body is so much better built than the ones at the stores for 3X the cost! Thank you as always😃
Glad you like it!
OMG! Allen, I don’t know why you just keep getting better and better on your CZcams Wednesday’s. I never would have thought of using a barrel to make a body. And the best part it will last forever...your the best. See ya tonite.
Glad you're liking them!
Love how you say “It doesn’t have to be perfect because it never will be. I have that problem all the time trying to get it perfect & sometimes it makes me nuts. I will think of this next time I start to go there. Thanks
You got this! Finished is better than perfect!
"today, im going to make a barrel body. also, dont do anything you see me do." love it!
Too true!
LOL.... Love your safety rules. Geat job. Thanks for sharing.
I want you to live!
Loved it....your doggies look so sweet too.
You are so kind
Ridiculous as per usual. You are a regular "Halloween Macgyver"...and for my next trick, watch me use this sawzall with duct tape and a barrel to build a prop that would cost over $100 for a fraction of the cost..lol. We are all truly blessed to have such an incredible source at our disposal...none better...thank you as always. 🤘🏻💀
glad you're enjoying it!
Always! I love CZcams Wednesdays! My daughter (12 years old) and I eagerly await the upload and always try to guess what kind of project you'll post. Gives us something to look forward to. With so much trash out there on the internet and TV, its nice to have a source that encourages learning to enrich and learn haunt building / props.
OMG this is just awesome!! Much easier than making a frame to mount the body on, taking the coveralls and stuffing them with crumpled newspapers or whatever, trying to lug the body and the frame around to find the best placement.....and on and on. And the best part is, even if you just made one of these, you could change out the clothes and mask and have a new prop every year. I gotta go find me some blue barrels! LOL
Thanks for sharing!
go make stuff!
LMAO at that thumbnail Allen!!! Having a rough morning, this video made it so much better. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Another fine job Allen. I've been unable to catch the Lives yet I still watch them back. I do enjoy CZcams Wednesday!
Glad you like them!
Man Hopps, gonna have to get me some of those kicks. Lol that is a great idea with a barrel. I've always used pvc frames and pool noodles but I've always bulked out my bodies with life preservers or life vests. My dad has some barrels so I might go make one. Thanks again!!! Josh
Sounds like a good plan!
I love your work ! A couple years ago I made a Ringwraith from your video on making a graveyard statue. Of course I tweaked it to my Ringwraith. But your ideas are so simple. This year I’m doing an alien theme. I’m hoping to have time to make this same build - only it will be a green Martian ! Amazing builds !
That is awesome!
You have the most amazing and enjoyable video and live-streams!! Thank you
Glad you like them!
Frickin decent ! My last barrel went for a R.O.T.L.D. canister.Had never thought of ANYTHING close to this ! Allen , YOU ROCK (as usual )
Glad you liked it!
@@StiltbeastStudios i thought i had a pretty good imagination ,but ,for real ,i wouldnt have thought that out.If you were here Allen ,i,d buy you a cold drink(or warm if its snowin).Great idea ,easy , can be whoever you want, & totally affordable.Thanks
Gene Sanford Love the profile pic- always glad to see another Gene fan! 😉
@@tiffanytrippeer5401 Thanks
@genessanford I am about to try the trioxin canister from R.O.T.L.D build myself! How did yours turn out?
Yet, another rousing success. You are truly a gifted person and I thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
Wow, thank you!
Well this is the earliest I've ever... Considering I started watching yesterday
glad you're watching!
amazing - and for next to nothing!!! seriously enjoying watching your vids. many thanks for them.
That is such an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.
You bet!
I need a shirt that says "Stiltbeast Safety Academy Graduate" LOL I've developed a slight addiction to watching your videos and they make me go make stuff - so thank you!
Glad you're making stuff!
that shirt should also have a bunch of holes in it.
Another great video. I’ll say that I don’t always make the stuff you make but after watching your video I go out and work on something, good motivation. Also “finished is better than perfect” might be my new motto
Thanks! It's definitely a good motto to get things done.
Do you have any tips on where to get the drums? I goggles but every where seems expensive
Always love you stuff! And you and your commentary!
Thank you!
We love it ! Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
I've been watching your videos for a few days now, you are amazing, so creative!
Thanks! I appreciate you tuning in and the kind words!
I love buying in bulk after the Holidays, items when they are on sale 50% or more for projects later....Ie Christmas lights, fog machines, props, Etc i enjoy my creative side but on a budget. Goodwill and 2nd hand/thrift stores are a great place to find all kinds of stuff.
so very true! Happy Halloween!
@@StiltbeastStudios I would love to be your neighbor, I would learn so much!
Thank you for sharing!! I love this idea!!!!
You continue to amaze me. I'm ready to start working on next year. Thanks.
go make stuff!
I love the safety tips!😆😆😆
Glad you like them!
Absolutely love this !! Your advice throughout is great .. and safety tips ! 🤣🙌🙌 brilliant job ! Pool noodles were genius .. and I actually Ooooooo 'd ... when you pulled up the boiler suit on it ! Fab job thanks for the inspiration 🙌🙌🇬🇧
Glad you liked it!! so glad you joined the channel.
I wish I had just tad of your talent
you do, Im low on talent and big on perserverence. the more you do it, the better you get at it.
Dude your so amazing I binge watch your videos like its tv show
Glad you like them!
Yes! This will save me lots of $$ for my zombie lawn! Thank you for your awesome ideas :D
thats the hope! Im making a bunch for our haunted house as well
3rd time watching this video... Still don't know how you don't get paint drift on your camera equipment (especially the lens)
Always awesome, Allen. Much appreciate the lessons!
Magic! are you making some?
yay! A big bucket buddy! I can't wait to watch!
Edit - Ok, now I'm watching. Was the heat gun broken? I noticed you used a torch instead.
its faster and more concentrated on the thicker plastic.
Looks cool .🤭😵💫😵💫🤭😵💫😵💫🤭
Love the car in background
there is a car?
Cool! Thanks!
You bet!
Very Very sweet.I am going to try to make a Frankenstein for next year for sure. I so wish I could show you a picture of it when I am done. I have been telling a lot of people about your videos and to check you out on CZcams. I hope you have a great Halloween.
Love the safety tips 👍🎃
Im still alive... so they work!
Bro I really like your channel and all the cool content you put out for us horror lovers… go make stuff…such an awesome saying for your merch….keep it up I can’t wait for your next videos to drop I love all the behind the scenes on how to make cool stuff with such little to no money thank you
Matthew, thank you for taking the time to comment!
Fantastic result from very few materials! Nice work, dude! 🤘
Thank you! Cheers!
If Bob Ross were making a body.. "do it however you want, just do it. No one knows what the body is supposed to be but you" Definitely love the quick boots
its all about the boots!
This is so amazing. I was going to make a Michael Myers for this 2021 Halloween out of pvc pipes, but you actually helped me with this video. I love this idea...definitely going this route. Great stuff. Thank you.
Thanks man! Get to it, it will look awesome!
I feel like you should also probably tell people to use a respirator when heating plastic because of cancer and stuff... But I loved all the saw advice!
You don't need a respirator unless it catches fire. Its no different than it being heated by the sun...unless it catches fire, then yes toxic smoke, but all smoke is toxic so I don't feel the need to warn people.
Thanks for everything you do, the information you provide us all is priceless. I've been trying to get on one of your streamed events but life gets in the way. You've motivated me to make some props for Halloween, hopefully I can get them done in time.
you can do it Testicklehead!
Might have to try this with a Jason prop that im making, a friend of mine is pretty tall, so i'll use him as my base.
do it!
Great job! You are like a mad scientist in his lab! This was fun watching it all come together. 👺
Glad you enjoyed it!
And again, epic! Recycling at it best. I try to repurpose as much as i can to save $$ so i can get other Halloween stuff. Great job, thanks, Happy Halloween.
the cheaper the bodies are, the more you can spend on heads and hands!
Pure Genius!
Glad you like it!
this guy is awesome
this guy has haunted house focused ADD and decent research and development budget lol!
This was great.
this comment is great.
Very Nice. Thank you
Most welcome, thanks for commenting!
I loved this video. Greetings to Rue and Stacy. Fake boots deserve a 10!..... IN CASE OF ZOMBIES.kkkkkkkkkk!!! very cool!!!
Aren't those boots already a 10? Or is it a size 11?! Awesome as usual either way!
Thanks!
Ok now i have a use for all the blue Barrels which i have tons of ....Thanks again for sharing HFL!! .... one other thing wow thats alot of commercials
Where do your barrels come from? It might give me an idea of who in my city might have an excess they’d be happy to be rid of. :)
sorry man, I dont control that, youtube thinks Im hot right now lol.
@@AVspectre fuji film north America com. i think it's in Illinois
@@deoblo85 Thanks. I’ll look for an equivalent in Canada but that’s a good starting point :)
You make monster s we can all create thanks so much
Turned out well, thx!
Great to hear!
LOVE THIS
love this comment!
April 2021 ready to go get started thanks a bunch
Do it!
Dude this was so interesting and funny
thats exactly what my dating profile would say lol
Lol 😆 🤣
You’re awesome
THanks!
awesome as usual ! thx !!
Glad you liked it!
As Allen melts the plastic and does each project and breaths in the fumes. I wonder will this be the day he breathes in so many toxic fumes he becomes the new Toxic Avenger. Probably not. Because he's the only person I know not ever effected by any of that stuff.
Im fantastic, made of plastic!
Yay!!!
Yeah!
I love it😮
Thank you, these are fun and useful to make.
My wife and I just made one of these today! Turned out pretty darn good! Your vids are Fantastic! ❤
Awesome! Thank you! Go make stuff!
Where do you get all the styrofoam heads from?
beauty supply store
Where can I pick up the blue barrels on the cheap? I've seen them around. Never knew you could buy them. Thanks.
Facebook Marketplace. I found some $15-$20 prolly cheaper if you’re near urban or industrial. I’m out in farm country.
i look on craigslist and facebook marketplace I get them for $10-$25
I am curious how much those barrels cost you in Texas? They are very expressive where I am at unless you get them "used" and you have to be very careful about that.
I get them used 10-$25 dollars for one- most of mine had olive oil in them.
It’s so true what the say about cameras adding 10 lbs, those 2x6’s looked so much like 2x8’s!!
Those are Texas 2x6's!
Good morning
Morning!
Can you do a cheap way to make a maze wall for a haunt. BTW love this michael myers prop!
I can do that!
Shop safety with Mr. Hopps
Or something like that.
I'm giggling at the saws-all "do as I say, not as I do"
Gotta use that disclaimer!
With the solid base attached, how did you put the pant portion of the jump suit on the “man?”

This is awesome how much does one of those barrels run for
as low as $10 on Facebook marketplace, or craigslist - easy to find for $25 on those forums.
Ok thanks I looked it up on home depot they want way too much I'll try the other options you mentioned...love the creativity you put in each project....this is definitely a technique I will have to work on ...maybe a leatherback project or Jason from Friday the 13th
so where could i buy that blue barrel 🤔
Cheap mud boots the all rubber kind would be perfect
indeed! I have used those before.
You could make an amazing Slenderman this way.
you could...
Killer video
Thanks! Killer comment!
about how long did this
take to make? God bless
two hours
What blade was used for cutting plastic. I have metal, wood
wood blade for these, the metal blades can just melt it
He turned out great and you got to use power tools!
For sure!
Rue has trust issues!😂😂😂👍
indeed!
That's awesome I just wish barrels weren't like 50$ per barrel.
they are not, check FB marketplace and craigslist.
@@StiltbeastStudios ya I ended up doing that after I sent the comment realizing that what I said was stupid oh and thanks for the tutorial.
Do you make any Christmas props
You could dress that barrel body as Santa, he did bucket buddies a short while back and you could dress them as elves.
Im actually making some coming up- I have plans! most of my stuff is haunt stuff that you could apply to Christmas!
YAYYYY!!!!🧟♀️🧟♂️
Glad you're excited!
Hey my barrel is the same as yours 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍
dont tell every body or they will want one!
If I wanted to make some raindeer?
let me work on that...
Where do you get these barrels for cheap?
craigslist or FB marketplace
Fake hand link leads to... nowhere. Any other hand vendors you recommend?
www.bongdamoii.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=239674
can I hold the saw with my teeths?
Once, I suppose.
where are you all finding cheap blue barrels??
facebook marketplace and craigslist
What size did you get for clothing
XL to 2X
@@StiltbeastStudios ok thanks
Great job as always I am a fan of your art
have you made a bodie in a barrel
not for youtube wednesday
"see what i'm doin here? Yeah, don't do that."
Not a bad idea.
Ooooo make a knife out of Eva and glue it to his hand
that's definitely an option!
I am using neon orange because I make poor choices. LOLOLOLOL
well its true.
🎃👍🏻🎃
thank ya!
2 videos in one:
Barrel body and sawzall does and don'ts..........
You got it!
hey \m/ \m/
Rock on!
Shoulder pool noodle should have been left long down to the middle of his arms that look like he has biceps zombies have biceps strong big biceps for killing and strangling
do that on yours!
Great video but to many stops aka (commercials)in 24 min 😁👎
sorry I cant control that, I can say yes to ads or no to ads and ads help support the channel.
@@StiltbeastStudios Its not the abs it how many in that time . I want the channel to make money.
@@MegaJokerg I understand, Im just saying I dont place the ads- I dont have control over how many there are.
