I have a cheap, flimsy Frankenstein mask I bought at Walmart several years ago. The paint job on it is terrible, but I always thought the sculpt was kind of cool. I decided to make it into a piece of wall art. This is what the piece looked like coming out of storage. The mask was wrinkled...

After I moved here and produced my first Halloween yard my neighbors asked what I was going to do for Christmas. I had no idea that I moved onto a road where everyone did Christmas displays. So I slowly transitioned into a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. Each year I just make or add one...

So I’m going as Georgie from IT as Halloween and I bought this pvc coat and fake blood to put on the sleeve but when it dries it turns a brown color and I saw this video that a guy made fake blood with Elmer’s glue and I tried it but the next day the blood was chipping off. How can I prevent...

decided that this year our yard cemetery would be attended by a somewhat over the top undertaker,, the ball in the walking stick glows with the help of a color-changing LED,, the hat creature will get LED eyes and it has a friend that will be coming over the shoulder of the long frock coat that...

Just joined. I made a haunted tree out of cardboard forms. What did you coat the inside with to keep the rain from damaging the cardboard? Thank you

Anyone have an EASY, less expensive way of making Winnie Sanderson costume? I’ve see so many on line but they’re all complicated and expensive! And anyone know of where to find stencils for her coat??

Hi all - I'm making a 5-foot-tall stake for a burning at the stake costume. (Nothing like waiting until the last minute!) I'm going to have the stake tied around me, so a rough rope will be rubbing on the foam all night. I used pink foam, so it's somewhat dense on its own, but do you think I...

Looking for full overhead Pirate mask and trench coat...plus small crystal skulls. Anyone?

Posted wrong thread

I love the ease and relative cheapness of working with monster mud but I dislike that it isn't all that waterproof. My 15 tombstones have faired well over the past 4 years but I can see signs of weather damage, and cracks. So I bought a container of foam coat to cover several small to medium...

I sculpted a set of crossbones over a pvc frame using crayola air-dry clay, but even after drying they feel a bit squishy and fragile. Does anyone have a recommendation of what I could use to harden / make them stronger? Looking for something that can make a more solid coat on top of the clay...

SO I want to be a giant creepy doll this year. Does anybody have advice on constructing an oversized doll head? I'm figuring paper mache is the way to go with maybe a light coat of spackle to make it look cracked. What I'm a little unsure of is the structure. Do I just coat a giant ball in paper...

Our haunt this year will involve having a lot of skulls throughout. I got these foam half skulls from a member of Haunter's Hangout. They are about 3/4 size and made of hard foam. After priming them, I gave them a coat of brownish latex paint, followed by some dry brushing.

Been getting some good results making elongated stems for my corpsed pumpkins. Started out making stems by just rolling shop towel coated in latex around a wire for the first few I did, but after making a quite a few now and experimenting as I went along I think I've got it down now to a pretty...

Mud on and one coat of dry lock. Whew:D

[ATTACH=CONFIG]Its not quite complete yet but wanted post pics anyways !! I'm going to have him set up by the front door under black light. Once completed I'm going to spray him with a clear coat that is reactive to UV light. It will make it glow an intense white!

I was wondering if anyone has come up with a reasonable copy of the coat Uncle Fester wears? In any of TV shows / Movies. Thanks in advance,

Noticed most of my blue spotlights have peeled splotches allowing the white light to bleed through and wash out the blue color. Does anyone have a suggestion for a way to coat these spots that wont burn off? Thank you, Todd

Hey everybody I was wondering if anyone has refresh a latex prop by adding a fresh coat of latex.

So, I needed to waterproof my latest projects, and decided to give this stuff a go. Presently, it's available just about everywhere, including your local walgreens...
