Sick bro! great Job! I'm in Cali and next year I will have columns. This year due to covid I did more of a drive-thru Halloween yard haunt with live actors scaring the trick or treaters. Not the same but still very fun. Also proud to announce I won second best over all entries in my City(Downey Ca.). Thanks for sharing.

@AndrewLong 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! And that's awesome that you won, good for you! Fortunately, we were able to do our haunt for 3 nights this year with scare actors as well. It helps that it's all outside and most people wore masks anyway. Will have a video out soon of our haunt!

@@AndrewLong very cool you have moved from home haunt to a much larger scale University haunt-it was bound to happen! I didn't even know they existed! You are probably the first or at least one of the handful to do so. Have fun! Maybe one day you will own your own professional haunt? I'm excited to see some footage!

Phenomenal! Equals if not surpasses a Hollywood set! One question: how do you manage to get so much texture on the various surfaces? I use Drylok but it does not give the same amount of depth, even with multiple coats. Thanks again for such a great video!!

@AndrewLong 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much!! I like roughening up the foam before hard-coating it with a wire brush. Stippling the hard coat can help add texture as well. I also use tools like a dremel and a wood burning tool to add further aging. Hope this helps!

What’s better for weather proofing. Flex bond or dry lock?

@AndrewLong Жыл бұрын

I would probably use both! Once I put a layer of paint over the flexbond it was fine and has been put in the rain. but adding the drylok would make it last even longer.

How much does each column weigh?

@AndrewLong 2 жыл бұрын

I am not sure of the exact weight but when they are all put together they are too heavy to be moved by a single person. Each individual section can be carried by one person but are still pretty heavy by themselves. They support their own weight though and can stand on their own and if someone knocks into them there's a very good chance they won't move.
