I like prop restorations, they’re fun, especially when FauxPapa does them! We love you, Allen!

Always neat to see repairs like these, nice to see an old prop get a second chance at scaring! Thanks for sharing Stiltbeast!

I am so glad that I found this channel. There is so much to learn and so much to gain about life and about artistry. This gives me something to binge on all year long I couldn't be more thrilled. What an incredible man and amazing amount of talent

Allen, I hope I can repair some of my most favorite masks now!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

First off...congrats on hitting 100k subscribers! Thanks for the multi-teared tutorial! Wow. Lots to take in here. Perhaps the most valuable lesson was the point talking about setting up your workspace before beginning. In general, this video packs a ton with lots of different techniques being covered. Well done as always and thank you 🙏

Incredible! I forgot about the shop towels........ Genius stuff. Thank you so much!

Patience is for those who can afford the time

You never cease to amaze me, old friend.

The master at work. Thank you for this video it helps me a lot because I have a few props that are in not as bad condition but they are getting very fragile and flaking and dissolving LOL trying to figure out how to paint it and make it look good is going to be the hard part. Thanks again and congrats on the 100,000 subscribers.

I love blue shop towels for so many applications! They are versatile and strong!

Thank you for posting this on Chicago Haunt Builders! This was extremely helpful! ❤

Great how-to video on latex mask repair. Thanks for showing the techniques used.

Great job! If you use that GE silicone test it first it goes bad sometimes and will never hardened, I just haired a Creep Show Fluffy mask I made and had to remove all the hair and trash is because the GE silicone was bad.

Congratulations on the 1k milestone! The finished mask looks great.

Congratulations on 100 thousand plus subs! Allen that was an Excellent lesson.Thank You

1 month later 125k subs i love the channel. you share a lifetime of technique, and make it entertaining

Since last season I have searched repairs on KZfaq and today this popped up (9-23) and your video is the most informative, creative and amazing video I have come across! I was making a shopping list as I watched. I believe in rebuilding and restoring and just this one video has added so much to my education. Thank you so very much!!

I've been watching you for a while now. I am fascinated with all you do. Thanks for sharing.

Alan... bak for 2nd look... this guys cool as hell!

Finally got the ghillie suit and some other stuff to add to it to work with the mask that I had bought at Texas haunters convention from you guys. Got to make the costume match the high quality of the Mask. Thanks again

Congrats on 100K Allen! It's long overdue.

Two things hit me, other than this being a great video. First, your shirt says Round Rock ,Tx. My step son moved there a couple months ago and started a handyman service, so if anyone looking.... When you pulled out a rotting latex puppet, I was making sandwiches so I think you said puppet, I thought of Team America. I was talking to the Chiodo brothers, Killer Klowns, you likely have run across them, with my friend who was one of the lead puppeteers in Team America. I asked about the puppets and thought the Chiodos might have them since my friend Didn't. I found out they are rotting away in a warehouse owned by whatever studio owned the production. Breaks my heart. The rot is why I am team silicone rubber

Outstanding subject!. love these.... !!!!!👻

Thank you for the info . Rebecca and I have a few old props in our collection that need some tlc. Have a great season

I wish I was this talented... nice work... gonna go make one now... or try

That was fascinating. Loved watching the process from beginning to end.

Dang Skippy that was freaking amazing

Love to watch you . Get so many halloween ideas and such from you

Congrats on 100K!

Looks great!

"Things Are Fine" Infamous last words 😁

Amazing restoration!

Congratulations on the subscriber mile stone. That was a wonderful watch and a brilliant rescue.

Amazing workmanship love your videos 💀

He looks as good as the day he was made! LOL!😊

I m looking to transform a cheap animatronic using some techniques from this video. Thank You!!

Truly masterful sir amazing work it was a pleasure watching what you do!Thank you for sharing.👍🏼🤩🙏🏼❤️

Looks great! Congrats on 100k!

That's some clever crafting

I had to restore a foam latex prosthetic last season to be turned into a mask and I wish I had seen your restoration videos beforehand 😅 (the restoration was successful, but my paint job could have been better. I'll probably redo the paint job this season)

You're a master of your craft 💀

Another fantastic video that is extremely helpful! Alan is the godfather of home haunters.

You're a genius, Allen!

You're amazing, Alan. Love your techniques... have helped me fixed alot over the years....

They make you audition? Man. After my 3rd year I didn't have to. I was a STAR. lol

Excellent restoration! A satifying new beginning for a badly damaged prop!

I REALLY think you have a promising future in plastic surgery!!

Congrats Alan! You da man great stuff.

Such an amazing job well done sir

Wish I lived near something like this.

All I can do is smile from ear to ear. I am still in awe that I finally found someone who does the same things as me and I'm not crazy. You are way more experienced than I, but I just found you, and I'm definitely sticking around! "Hoard your materials"! " Go make stuff!" 😂

Omg I love your work

Love the repair video!

Such great info & super helpful!!

Now that was just freaking amazing to watch! Your brain just never stops does it. I love how you use just the most common materials to make stuff. It sure helps us haunters who are on a very low budget make some awesome looking stuff. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us sir!!! I did send the pics by email. I hope you got them. Happy Haunting!!

nice repair, looks good

You are freakin Awesome!!!!!

Congrats Allen and team!!! Great tutorial.

Congrats, boss!! 100 Gees!!! Yippeee!!!🎉🎉. You got Ol Dead Fred lookin' good just for the occasion too!!

Using cellulose fibers is genius,

@6:40 It's not hoarding if it's all good stuff ;)

Great work!!!

I always wanted to learn

There's another YT show called "Good Bad Or Bad Bad" that needs your help. They own the Refrigerator Chicken from "Rock And Roll Nightmare" and it's in rough shape. They show it on camera in their next to last video asking if anyone can tell them what to do.

Congratulations for over 100 thousand subs! Halloween is coming up and I am finding I am not as excited about it as I have been for 60 years. I have been doing Pro haunts for half my life (I think we meet once at a party in Vegas Transworld). Now I just do animatronic shooting galleries for Halloween parties as a side gig just for "fun". But this year I am tired, lots of back pain and not feeling the carefree abandonment to spend the money and effort on making new items. How do you keep your focus and enthusiasm? Maybe you just love it more than I do in the end. The silly thing was last year was one of my best (shooting gallery) ever but I spent way too much money and hurt my back (in bed for two days).

I was wondering what causes latex rot. I found one of those classic Horse Head masks, but the mouth hole was just really falling apart. I assumed it had something to do with moisture from the previous wearer.

Your amazing Alan thank you for making this video. It’s really cool to see you at work fixing things and make them look better than they did before. Your one hell of an artist. One quick question for you, I collect masks and I keep them covered in plastic and out of the sun. Is regular armor all a good product to use to protect my masks? I know one day they will rot away unfortunately, but I want to slow down the process. Again thank you, your an inspiration 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻👍❤️

Hi I got a Splinter prop mask I want to restore going to use your Method what sealer should I use on foam latex

Great Tutorial! What is contact cement made of? is it latex based? how does it do with UV?

QUESTION: If you were to paint the shop towels first and let them dry would the contact cement still work?

Thanks so much for all the helpful hints. The mask came out perfect! Question: Is casting latex same as the liquid latex from a halloween store? I need to change the color on latex mask, but just a home haunter here ....not a big haunt

Yo, Mista Hopps! I've been watching for a few years now, and I'm beginning to think premature death by consuming mass quantities of sweet tea, and colas is a foregone conclusion. It's not too late to change your health ruining habits. A world without THEE Number one Stiltbeast Maker is going to be a dull world indeed. Go make changes!

❤ Is there anything to condition or treat latex mask to help preserve them to last longer and what is recommended to clean the inside after someone has sweat in it?

Hey Allen thanks for the reply about making bones! Great help. Do you have any plans on doing a pool noodle archway? Like a roots/tree kind of look or anything! My 5 year old daughter is your biggest fan here in uk. She always ask for "the halloween mans video's"😂

question? Doesn't latex inhibit silicone from curing? how does it cure when the paint even has latex in it?

I'm working on a self made "Bebop" bust from Tmnt . (He was supposed to look like he was just in battle) My coagulated blood I applied to his mouth is beginning to flake and peel off.. (this is a mix of stage blood and Elmer's glue) any tips or products You can suggest that would be a better alternative?

You are truly the professor! Every video you make, I learn something new. Thank you so much for your content! I have an original Distortions electric chair. He has to be close to 30 years old. The man's body is deteriorating rapidly. It needs to be repaired. It's made out of that really thick foam, with latex paint? over it and it's just rotting rotting rotting. Cutting chunks out of it, I don't believe is an option. Is there anything you'd recommend that I can spray on there to stop the rot? Or do you think your contact cement on Blue shop towels could work. It seems like it would be tedious to rip and blend it into the entire upper torso. Also I don't paint even half as good as you do. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm going to Reynolds material tomorrow to see if they have any options. Thank you for being one if the best parts of this industry!

Will the paint help with keeing the laytex from rotting in UV?

I need a real scarecrow mask from batman begins

🤘❤️🤘

So blue shop towels will help fix a mask? I have a kinda old one that it's like the mask is melting.. I don't know what happened to it and it was one of my favorite mask. If the shop towels help fix it then I could redo the mask

That mask he's using for parts looks like a poor knock off of an Attack on Titan mask. LOL

Can I come work for you?

I have a spirit halloween half torso guy hanging from a noose. He needs repaired badly. What would you charge? It would be face and arms.
