Was thinking about about building a funeral hearse. The problem so far is the wheels are so darnn expensive. Anyone know of any sites that are reasonable on wood carriage wheels? I already checked Ebay and my local Facebook sale sites. Thanks

I finished up my church crucifix prop by using paint to create an aged wood look

I started a daily vlog last month to capture my 2016 haunt build. I call it "Bleach Bones." This year is going to be my first walk-thru haunt and I'm building everything from the ground up. Today I show what ultimately turned out to be my failure in using a tool to create a wood grain effect on...

I have been planning on building a cemetery fence for the last 2 years. Well I decided to go with the wood pallet design. I started collecting pallets last week. Well big score last night. Found 10 of them piled up by a dumpster.... I will start pulling them apart soon. I have 16 pallets so...

I’ve been using this DIY fence for a number of years and this year, I wanted to document the individual pieces involved and the assembly steps as I put it up for the 2015 season. The primary reason for this design was to save storage space! My house doesn’t have a basement or any attic space...

I recently purchased some vacuform panels for the first time and they should be arriving in a few days. How do I stabilize/mount them etc? Attach to wood, foam, other? Surprisingly I haven't found very much info regarding that online.

I built this prop about 8 years ago, and it's always a big hit in the neighborhood. I've gotten a lot of requests from various forum members over the years for information on how I built it. I even wrote up a tutorial for it about 4 years ago, but never posted it. Don't know why---too busy...

just wanted to share my hallway from last year: The cost of this hallway was under $100 (if you can get the wood pallets for free) check out the video the hallway moves. Thanks

Hello, What tools or household utensil to you guys prefer to scrape up pink foam to get a good wood effect? I need to make a pirate ship facade out of foam board. Im going to carve out the plank lines with a dremel, paint the entire thing black, then dry brush browns for the wood effect. But I...

So we're diving into making a yard haunt/maze this year. We have our plan mostly laid out and getting ready to start buying materials but we're stuck a little on what we want to make our walls out of. If our panels are 4ft wide we'll have between 50-60 of them. I don't want to break the bank...

Hello Fellow Haunters, I have some bad news while being out of town helping with a family emergency. All my wood and materials that I use to build our Yard Haunt was taken, I don’t like to word “stolen” cause I hope whoever took it will be using it for a good cause. Around this time of...

I had one foam blank left from the sheet I bought a few months ago and decided to go for something different that I have not seen a lot of - wooden tombstones. Kind of an old west look, but I'm a firm believer in variety in my graveyard so I went ahead with the carve. First I drew a rectangle I...

Almost finished with my CGI Picture Frame prop. The TV is a Samsung 22UF5000 The wood is embossed chair rail moulding and 1x2 whitewood from Lowes. I will be using a Brightsign HD1020 with Gilderfluke Script. The CGI will be controlled by DMX signal. This is 1 of 2 that I am building. Now I...

I know people either love or hate this theme. ? Pretty sure it's where we are headed this year, I like to change things every couple of years. On that note .. My pirate ship would need to last like two years or so, nothing permeant. I also don't have a ton of storage, so building a big ship out...

I would like to know how everyone secures their walls to the floor. Last year I made a major portion of my haunt out of 3x8 sections of walls made from an "8" wood frame with heavy duty cardboard on each side, then covered them with contact paper/wallpaper and distressed them. They looked...

Hello, fellow haunters! I'm starting my big build project for this year: a full-sized mausoleum! I'm very excited about it. I'm thinking the panels of the attached diagram should be 4' x 8' panels of foam (or wood). Now, for those of you who have much more build experience than me, I...
