The Bob Ross of Haunters - we dont make mistakes, just happy little skeleton parts. As always, you never cease to amaze with your ingenuity and spark the creativity of the mind! Keep it up, you are the best!
I wish people were less afraid of making mistakes… preventing them from even starting. I love how you reiterate “finished is better than perfect!” Mistakes and failures help us learn, much more thoroughly than straining for perfection.
"Never be afraid to fix a mistake just because you took a long time making it." 😆🤣😆. THANK YOU for posting your videos! I love watching the creation of spooky props and your techniques are fun to watch from a creative process. I love that you include the mistakes - it makes it feel like a more realistic process (As well as add humor during the editing process)
You mentioned you can use great stuff in the same way. I tried to save a buck, and regret it. Great stuff doesn't get a skin on it in the same way. I got very sticky. In the end I made it work. Thanks for sharing your talent.
I LOVE THIS!....THE IDEA, THE EXECUTION AND THE MISTAKES!...Showing the mistakes that we as newbies are bound to make, as well as the "fixes", is so reassuring. It takes the stress out of trying something new, at least for me. I know that things can be adjusted and fixed to get an acceptable result! Plus being on a budget for my current project, even 30.00 for a cheap skelly can add up... This is BRILLIANT!!
Many years ago, I found your video on corpsing a skeleton, it was a blast to do then and it has lasted for years. My human pelts finally had to be retired. I still very much enjoy all your work. Thanks for all the great ideas.
Thank you for the tutorials, after working in the games industry many years ago I changed career and made a business unrelated to art, but really disliked running it, I have now got back into art making and casting fine art sculptures, your tutorials are great to give artists ideas on how to build fine art sculptures and the general mentality to get things done. I love your finished is better than perfect. You are so right.
@@lt2339 There are many different types of foam to use, the ones I will look to use I am not sure if they will work outside. I know there are foams that work outside in the building trade, I purchased one once for inside a rook leak, but didn't get around to using it so not sure how hard it is, I am sure its hard enough for haunted house props though. I will look to post some of my sculptures when they are finished.
Your dialogue set off my Fire TV Cube with Alexa. A function I never use. It took me 10 minutes to figure it out!! You owe me one can of spray foam, for the trouble!😉
And I'm back reviewing this technique before I jump into making vined pumpkin scarecrow. I truly appreciate all you do & that it's available for everyone to learn From & get inspired.
Thank you for this technique. I've been able to apply it to making pumpkin vines & leaves , as well as angel wings for a 36" skeleton. The dried foam takes light carving well for details. But it Quickly dulls my knives, I just resharpen them with knife sharpening stone. It created a very fluid or natural look. I'm looking forward to finding other uses for this wonderful tool you shared. Thanks again!
You make it look so easy. I bought some foam the other day, whoa, had all my fingers stuck with stuff! Ha Ha! I did forget about the water though. That is an important part. My hat's off to you on the work you do. I will try again and promise to not forget the spray water. Love watching you make stuff!
Wow! just the hand shaping was amazing, it looked menacing! I bet you could scale up this process to make your own 10ft skeleton! Would be a lot of foam and would definitely need some reinforcement but I bet it'd be even cooler than the store bought ones! Especially if it still had blood and remnants of muscle and flesh on it!
Thank you so much for another amazing video, with so many application possibilities. I had been racking my brain trying to figure out how I can make something that looks like vines climbing up a structure. As I watched this video I realized you just gave me the answer. Thank you so much.
Art is expressed in so many ways. Your art is awesome, and never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for your videos. I feel inspired to try your methods for improving my Halloween haunted house.
Oh my gawd, I just made a hand and a spider and I can't wait to paint them tomorrow and then next week I'm gonna teach my students how to do it!!!!! I have so many ideas!
These would look cool attached to black shirt & pants or one of those black body suits, and if you really paid attention to the anatomy when sculpting all the bones... It would take a lot of effort but it would look badass! Would you be able to get needle and a sturdy thread through the foam to sew it on, I wonder, or would you have to just use a lot of E6000...
I am thinking about doing this to my back yard fence. Make the vines “blend” into old dying trees just beyond my fence that are covered in cudzo. Didnt want to use foam noodles for entire fence. Maybe rotate random props caught up in the vines. Watch it from the pool! Thanks for the technique on how to paint and make the vines. 2/3d
Oh man.. did I find your channel at a wonderful time. Don't know if you reply to comments in your old tutorials, but I enjoy watching your videos. I'm currently making something out of paper towels, water, newspaper, and glue. Acrylic paints and clear caulk will be applied once the forms are dried out and finished. Hopefully, Zombie Walk will happen this year. Keep making stuff! Also, I liked the Ghost Bucky on your shirt!
This is the most amazing stuff I've ever seen! I can't wait to make a skeleton forearm, stick it in the ground in front of one of those headstones with some funny saying on it.
I already had a pair of plastic store bought skeleton forearms with hands. I made a headstone out of an old flat stepping stone with rough chipped edges. The epitaph reads: Here lie Bonnie and Clyde Hand in hand in crime... and in death. May 23 1934 I stuck the pair of arms out of the ground side by side with the hands holding onto each other. Thanks for this informative video! I have a project idea requiring a dozen or so skeleton arms and hands. Possibly a few upper torso and heads as well. I'll have to subscribe and review more of your videos. Hopefully I'll find a simple skull project??
Just after Halloween I utilized left over parts to make a motorized ground breaker and am in need for some skeletal/zombie hands for it. I was upset that I missed all the after Halloween sales (most seemed to have occurred a week prior instead of after this year) so I could procure some cheap body parts. However this is AMAZING. YOU are AMAZING. I've worked with foam before but not quite like this. You have some talent, thanks for sharing. I'm running out to get a can of foam now.
Just painted them up yesterday in acrylic and added a top coat in gloss mod podge and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. For $6.34 with tax for the can of foam, it was well worth it and I love making stuff. Thanks again.
Could you use vegetable spray (like for cooking) instead of water to keep it from sticking? Also, I LOVE this and I'm going to teach kids how to do it!
Will the Locktite Foam adhere to balloons? My daughter and I want to make Slimer, the famous blob from the movie Ghostbusters. If it will stick there's a possibility.
Any chance you could do a DIY mannequin made out of pvc and spray foam? I saw a video about this somewhere else, but they didn't show how they made it.....only all the things they used a cheap mannequin for. Many thanks if you would do this for us! I would love to find a cheap, easy mannequin (full body) build to use for Halloween props, or to make a life sized nativity scene. And store bought mannequins are just way too expensive.
SO WHEN I FOLLOW YOUR LINK TO THE HOME DEPOT SITE... IT TAKES ME TO A BLACK CAN WITH A RED LID... IN THE VIDEO YOU USE A BLUE CAN WITH A RED CAP... IS THERE A DIFFRENCE?? BTW.... I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!!!!

That's it, I'm buying stock in Loctite.. skeleton in a can... brilliant!!
Allen I love your positive attitude when you realised your mistakes. I would have been very annoyed and cussing at myself. Looks good.
you never know what opportunity a mistake will present, and they rarely matter very much.
Many years ago, I found your video on corpsing a skeleton, it was a blast to do then and it has lasted for years. My human pelts finally had to be retired. I still very much enjoy all your work. Thanks for all the great ideas.
Was he rocking the ponytail in that video?

Glad I could help!
Thanks for showing just how you adjust on the fly. Everyone makes mistakes or changes their mind/has a better idea mid-project. Great to see!
That's awesome. I'm going to go buy this spray foam today and get started. Thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
"Oh there's hot glue there. It's collagen!"
I died. That was perfect. 🤣🤣🤣

I love on these videos there is the positive narration while he is making it and then the self deprecating narration in typing haha.
Love the project. Gonna try this. Also love the Buccee’s shirt.
Please do! Thanks! Happy Halloween!
You are one creative guy ,Love Love Love your work
Thank you! Cheers!

I need to see the stuff you made!
@@StiltbeastStudios have pictures, but due to a move I gave almost every away.
I'm not sure how to add pic.'s I'm tech challenged.

the water is necessary lol! watch the vids and work along !

Currently making 2 7ft Creepers...I was struggling with how to make the hands for both models. this is perfect! Thank you Allen!!
this is a viable option!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE HAND! I need about 15 of them and I didn't want to waste all those gloves.
I can't stop watching your videos! So much talent and creativity. Thank you for sharing yourself with us!
watch them all, collect the whole set lol!
This turned out to be really motivational. Thanks for your wisdom.
love it! always told the wife spray foam was a friend!! 😂😂. thanks for the ideas!!
You bet!
Just caught a glimpse of your Sharpie wall rack as you consulted the rib ref pic on the computer. Nice!
I love them, made them out of eva foam!
Thank you so much for another amazing video, with so many application possibilities.

You're very welcome!
Thanks, i always learn something from you.I haven't played with foam for awhile. I need to.
Glad to help
I actually never considered the idea of making a skeleton out of spray foam, but you can!
Yes you can!
Art is expressed in so many ways. Your art is awesome, and never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for your videos. I feel inspired to try your methods for improving my Halloween haunted house.
Thank you so much 😀
omg I just found foam last year and it is by far my favorite new toy I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Thank you so much!
Oh my gawd, I just made a hand and a spider and I can't wait to paint them tomorrow and then next week I'm gonna teach my students how to do it!!!!! I have so many ideas!
thats so awesome!
Bad ass gonna try this tonight once again you are the home hunters hero!
you made that look WAY easier than it is
I've just made a lot of Skeletons! Hope you have a great Halloween Season!

Id sew or zip tie it on, fun idea!
My Alexa kept replying to you and starting 5 min timer
Yeap... did the same from another room with the door shut.
I ended up changing my wake word for this exact reason lol. So many channels love saying the "A" word
lol... yeah sorry!
@@StiltbeastStudios All good :) at least yours was accidental lmao

@@StiltbeastStudios That's OK. Give me a chuckle as I keep telling her to cancel that timer.
Your videos are fabulous!! Thanks for sharing, mistakes and fixes. Starting my hands using gloves tomorrow. Took your advice, Go make something. 🤣

Thank you, we have them all over in Texas- like a luvs truck stop and target had a baby.
This is excellent! I just finished watching your corpsing video. These two go hand in hand, or at least I hope so. Thanks!
they do indeed! go make stuff!
Thank you for sharing. Another great product and presentation.

“Vairdeee interestding Allen vairdeee interestding” lol love it I’m gonna experiment !!👍
Hope you like it!
Why did I keep thinking you were going to stuff this in a large can at the end??? And I was excited to see it! Still very fun tutorial : )

Thank you! I appreciate it.
I love all your videos I have learned so much thank you thank you thank you Halloween is my holiday and I have an amazing Halloween party yearly
Wonderful!
Would you PLEASE stop setting timers on my Alexa??? XD Fun stuff though. Thanks for all your vids
Somehow I came across your videos and I am forever grateful i did. Awesome stuff!
Awesome! Glad you're here!
Just found your channel... as I've been going through your videos... I have to constantly tell Alexa to stop the timers. lol
consider them to be interactive videos lol.
That was pretty cool
this comment is pretty nice.
OMG!!!! I love your Buc-ee's shirt!!! 👻
This tutorial could easily become the Face Hugger from Alien as well, just skipping the sternum step!
Great work.
That's true!
So fricking cool. Game changer for me
awesome!
I find you humorous
These projects are great, i’ll maybe try some for Halloween. Thanks!!!
please do!
I absolutely love your vids! You inspire me to take the chance and try to make my own props! Thank you!
Dude your stuff is awesome, simple yet effective. thanks for the info
Thanks for tuning in!
Cool technique !
baie geluk goeie werk 👏👍👈 sukses daar familie 🤝
dankie dat jy na die video gekyk het!
Amazing. Always needing hands and this is perfect.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Hahaha Thats Genius ... now I have another way to make skeletons when i run out of Romex ..thanks for sharing as always HFL!!
My pleasure!
Easy with the Alexa commands . Lol I love this!
My wife calls Alexa the other woman I talk to her so much.
Could you use vegetable spray (like for cooking) instead of water to keep it from sticking? Also, I LOVE this and I'm going to teach kids how to do it!
the water is not to keep it from sticking, the water helps it cure faster. Im afraid oil would work against painting it down the road.
@@StiltbeastStudios Duh! That makes sense. Thx for getting back to me!
That’s a great way to incorporate a pile of bones into one of those ember piles made from expandable foam & lights.
yes it is!
Great project. Thanks
Thank you too!
You give me hope
Go make stuff!
Will the Loctite hold up well outside in the elements? I love watching you create.
it does once you paint it. pretty well
@@StiltbeastStudios Awesome! Thanks so much for the reply and for sharing your artistry with us. You've taught me a lot.
anyone else instantly think of an Alien face hugger?
Did look like one for a moment!
Will the Locktite Foam adhere to balloons? My daughter and I want to make Slimer, the famous blob from the movie Ghostbusters. If it will stick there's a possibility.
that sounds like a great project!

Could I use this to make a skeletal dragon spine and tail as a costume? And do you have any ideas how I could do it?
exactly the same way i did it here;
🤣🤣🤣and my Alexa is with you every time that you start counting 🤣🤣
its an interactive video lol.
I love what u do.
Love this channel
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
Great stuff
No it is not
The project is great, the foam is Loctite. 🤣
I love your shirt.
Hey thanks!
Absolutely fantastic 😱👍
Thank you! Cheers!
SO WHEN I FOLLOW YOUR LINK TO THE HOME DEPOT SITE... IT TAKES ME TO A BLACK CAN WITH A RED LID... IN THE VIDEO YOU USE A BLUE CAN WITH A RED CAP... IS THERE A DIFFRENCE??
BTW.... I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!!!!
same basic stuff- as long as its Locktite!
I am going to try this for sure
do it!
I love the subtitle commentary lol! Also i need that glue gun!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
With the rib cage and spin laying face down on the table, it kind of looks like a face hugger from Aliens
I was thinking the same thing at the time!
Very cool! I’m thinking this might work to apply to zombie chest for zombie costume. When the foam is completely dry.. is it still a little pliable?
yes, enough for a costume for sure.
I LOVE THIS!!!! Thank you!
I'm so glad!
How far does this stuff go? How many cans did it take for a full skeleton?
three cans for a full skeleton, so about $20
Love it! 💚💚💚
Great job
Alien face hugger is exactly what I was seeing 😊
indeed! if you need to make a bunch of those fast....
I think you do awesome work! I would love to work with you love Halloween
You may have to find a better timer, cos you keep telling MY Alexa to start timers lol
thats what makes the channel interactive lol
Is there a limit on how large you can make a hand? I'd like to make a very large scarecrow.
Id go to pool noodles if its going to be really large. Im doing a scarecrow next week as a video, that might give you some ideas.
That is so cool!!😊
thank you!
