Imagine that, I have lots of hanger tape (animated snakes) and lightweight spackle ( rat-in-a-cake). Another awesome tutorial!! I enjoy your tutorials because they’re not only super easy to follow and detailed, but spooky not gory. Things I can build with my grandson that will fascinate him not scare him.

Oh Dana, the first part of your comment made me laugh out loud and the second part made me tear up. I am so thrilled that you can spend time with your grandson working on these props and seeing in his eyes the world of possibilities that open when your imagination is unleashed. Thanks for your comment!

I have all the materials and am starting the build, I am a HUGE fan, best tutorials I have ever seen. I will be making a modification to the wording and width of the sign, my sign will have "Beware of spooky Pumpkins" this is due to being sensitive to the word spooks. I am normally not a politicly correct person but it can be misconstrued to be racist. The theme to my haunt is pumpkins and that will work out perfectly. If anyone wants the supply list and links to sourcing them I have them and am willing to share. Drop me a line, Happy Halloween 2022 all!

Paul...you did it again, an absolutely awesome video. I know that with your tutorials I can accomplish the mechanical aspects of these props, where I get myself in trouble is the decorating or the artwork. You nail the faux wood grain look and the lettering, when I try that kind of stuff, the comment usually is "That's close enough, it will be dark and the black light will make it look good enough." Thanks again, these new videos make my day.

@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Steb, comments like yours make my day. As they say with the artwork and decorating "Practice Makes Perfect", however there is something magical that happens when the lights go off and the blacklight comes on. Darkness helps the work of us Haunters to take on a special look and feel.

Do you seal the sign with any clear coat? Is there a finish that doesn't affect the black light paint?

@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms Жыл бұрын

Hi Grant. Since the blacklight paints are acrylic and should hold up to outside conditions, I did not apply a clear coat. If you feel that a clear coat would be a good idea for your use, I would first test a clear polyurethane (spary or brush on) over the black light paints that you use, on a test sample. I would be curious to know if a clear coat changes the blacklight effect in anyway. Thanks for asking.
