I made my husband's Pumpkin Head Halloween costume like this, it turned out fabulous, added teeth and he loves it. Thank you for teaching us this, I had a blast doing it.

The great foam pumpkins are amazing. I have made about 10 very large ones for stage (Cinderella )

Totally agree, Loctite is far superior foam and doesn't swell up months down the road. I so thought you were gonna throw the first half up in the air like a pizza dough after pulling it outta the bowl,hahaha.

And for a guy my age....Love it! Haha! Great work again brother!!

I love this. I used the Loctite. I think it was too fresh, lol. It took almost 10 minutes to skin enough to be handled. I used a light spray of Pam. No issues painting but I use spray paint. I’ve got a lot to learn about how to handle this stuff. That was hilarious I’m gonna pump you up

They are beautiful! Just the right amount of grunge.

BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR YEARS AND YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT INSPIRATION IN MY BUILDING DIFFERENT PROPS I SAID HELLO TO YOU AT TEXAS FRIGHTMARE IN AN ELEVATOR BUT I WAS REALLY DRUNK AND COULDN'T REALLY EXPRESS HOW MUCH I ENJOYED YOUR CONTENT

These turned out awesome, I've been wanting to get back into making props and decorating with things that are handmade, rather than store bought, it looks much more realistic

Another great build. Thanks Allen. I learn something with each video. You're the best. 😊

Your videos are always so amazing and informative. Thank you for making the videos.

You crazy bastard, Inflating with air!!! I love it!!! Genius!!!

Once again Mr. Hopps is inspiring me to take a chance & try something new. I bought a female half torso mannequin with hanger. It's a hard plastic & doesn't have any under cuts. My thought was run some PVC pipe where spine would be in case I can't get it out, it's still useable for my needs. I'm hoping it will come out, if I use water as the release. Last time I made a weeping angel I used home made paper clay to build the neck, shoulders & collarbone area ( because she was wearing a sleeveless dress) & it was a pain and to labor intensive. Release or not released, I will have tried & learned something. I wish I could think of a way to update you all, maybe tomorrow I'll figure that out also. Thanks Allen, your amazing & I really appreciate your videos. ( We all do!) I'm going to see i

Thank you Allen, another great build. Nice to see the contrast between the two materials, from last build and this one. Gonna get that pumpkin done this weekend and hopefully not ruin the build, myself, carpets etc haha. All the best and happy halloween

Ooh something I know....drill small hole in bottom of each plastic half...cover with duct tape on outside...do your normal thing but when ready to pull out remove tape and get your air hose out...little bursts thru hole separates easy from container ❤

Before you begin, the serious scope thing, your pumpkin, with his bumps and rudimentary stem, looks so much like heirloom squash is in pumpkins. They have warts and knobs, and all sorts of intriguing shapes.

The black wash really made it look like a pumpkin

I needed this for props for a short film about pumpkins that we are filming in march so THANK YOU

I'm soooooo happy when you make anything but especially PUMPKINS 🎃 🎉🎉🎉

Very cool ! The locktite JoL came out really nice! Thanks Allen!

love this channel, keep up the good work!!

I remember going to a big pumpkin patch in Georgia one fall, and my wife and I completely MARVELED at the variety of sizes and colors and *textures* that they all had! I'd have to say, the more it looks like it won't win any beauty pageants, the more realistic it looks! AND more halloween-y, too!

Pretty cool. Really like the 80s Synthwave in the background.

Always love watching your vids. So cool.

Been looking for someone like you for a while…. You make me sooo happy ❤️

Very cool pumpkins!

Luv the video!!! Inspiring, educational , and funny. I had to pause the video when you inflated the pumpkin(very funny!!!). Please keep making stuff.

I just love you!!! Anything you do is magnificent!!! Thank you so much for these videos!!!

I've watched you Go Make Stuff for years and I love your work. I really love the pumpkins that you made in this video. I like the first one better though. Thank you for everything you do.

I did something similar but hand size. A made a half a mold, used the spray foam and after it had set a few minutes pressed it into the mold so it would be hallow. Then I hot glued the two half’s together and reinforced the seam with blue shop towels with diluted wood glue. I also used the wood glue/shop towel method to make some wrinkles. After they dried I used a dremel to carve the faces and painted them black then dry brushed two different colors of orange over the black and added a small piece of rope hot glued to the top for a stem and a battery operated tea light. I sold them at a hayride event and people went crazy over them. They couldn’t believe they were made out of spray foam. My husband asked me where I got the idea and I was very proud to say from you. Thank you for everything you teach us!

Those look great and you’ve taught me to have a lot of fun using the loctite gap and crack foam. So much so that I’ve started rebuilding my dummies and witches with pvc and foam. So much lighter and easier to set up and take down. You have a a great influence on crafty people!! Thanks so much!!!

They both look great! I like the color wash. Thanks, Allen ❤

Thank you so much for trying things out for us. This way we know what to do and what not to do. Your vids are inspirational and informative.

Thank you for these videos, I used your tutorials to make my first loctite mask. If I could return the favor a bit, if you ever want to make a mask that is spherical, try using a punch Balloon as a mold, you can inflate it to the size you want and when the mask sets, slowly deflate the balloon to peel it from the foam.

I'm very impressed Allen! The method two pumpkin (on your right at the end) is the best, as you've said, and is just so good. Nothing in nature is perfect, so that pumpkin fits in with being an ugly, but realistic pumpkin. I think you may well have stumbled on the best way of creating a pumpkin, cheaply and quickly. I will be attempting my own soon, and hope they come out as good as yours. Cheers.

I'll definitely be making a bunch of these next year. Out of all the "Halloween prop" channels, Allen is the best! It's true, you can't live without spray foam!

Love your work!!

Thank you for the ideas!

Happy Halloween to you as well. It's always a pleasure to watch your tutorials. So informative!!! And you make me believe I can do it, too. Thank you. 🎃

Allen I love it brother keep up the amazing work. I haven't finished the video yet bc it was only uploading a few minutes ago but I can already tell it's amazing lol

Love your work, and you are entertaining. I hope you’ve got good ventilation in your work space.

Hey Allen, thank you so much for all your inspiration and all the content you put out there you’re amazing. I made five of those Loctite pumpkins, and when I got down to making the last two I was able to do it with just one can once again thank you very much for everything that you do you are a phenomenal inspiration. Thank you.

I love watching your videos. I think I might actually go home and try this one.

Love these. Thanks for sharing.

Wow… I‘ about to go decorating right now! Love your vids

I made a pumpkin head, but I used the foam on the outside of the bowls. I attached them and, once hardened, I used an X-acto blade the cut them apart and glued them back together. I had no problem with it losing shape.

Lol, a streamer that aims to please😂. Alan you never disappoint. You are inspiring, well worth any ones time. If you are in to crafting and like to smile you have to watch Alan he is addicting to listen to I bet a blast to be around. Thanks for this I am staying with great stuff😊

These are great and saveable for years

Love your work. Hope to try this stuff

I have learnt so much from you. Thank you

I like both of them. The warty one is kinda cranky looking for a haunted house theme. I love it

After watching your Loctite mask clips, I make a form out of a up side down 5 gal bucket with pipe insulation on the bucket. I wrapped it in plastic wrap. I was able to spray Loctite on outside of the form. I created a 3h4 pumpkin. The ridges of the pipe insulation did not show on the outside but I was able to sculpt the pumpkin shape as you have shown. I made several and added a deer motor tilting mec and flame bulb inside the pumpkin. Turned out great. I have heard a rumor that a Loctite Pro gun is in the works. Have you heard anything about that. I love the Great Stuff Pro gun. Thanks for the Dementor build info. The Greater DC Home Haunt Dementor uild was great.

Blossom pumpkins my friend all the workers in the detail in the imagination and you got both

I have to say, with the carving you did, I like the “ugly” pumpkin 🎃 better. He has so much character and he looks a little evil 😈 🧡🖤🧡

Thank you! I made a scary, very tall scarecrow with a solar light. I even melted some plastic sheeting to make it even creepier. You are awesome.! Wish I could come work with you guys!!! Happy haunting!

Thanks for another great video.

Perhaps it would help to spray, the pumpkin, have a little higher, essentially to give the outer edge of the ridge which you can marry together and carve away. That might make it easier to unite the two halves. Even if only one side of the pumpkin head that hi edge, it would make connecting them a little easier. Maybe? Also seemed like it would be handy to have a stem or some sort of handle at the top in order to lower the first half onto the second when you are uniting them to make your full pumpkin I was just thinking a hole with a piece of wire stuck through so you could lift it up. Something that would make a little damage, but give you the leverage. This is rad! Thank you for doing this🎉

The Great Pumpkin lives!

Definitely need to try this

Thanks a bunch for this video. I tried the GS method and it shrunk / shriveled a lot…… gonna use this method next.

Very cool!

Thanks for all your ideas I tried this product for a large Ludo head from Labyrinth this week and it worked out wonderfully I only had a few hours to make it but I impressed myself and would love to share a picture with you thanks again for your ideas

Always love your videos. Ima go make stuff. I need to make a sword and a snake. Both spray foam. Should be interesting 🤔

Seeing the texture of that pumpkin’s skin I could see that foam making a great brain sculpture.

I made a pumpkin head for my costume using your last video! wish I could share a photo.

Great Pumpkins🎃 I have a idea, you can make a huge one by using one of those inflatable beach balls

In my bowls I use industrial graphite dried lubricant by blaster

This is awsome, thank you so some much for all the work you do. I have a general question allen , i have a michael myers mask that i stored over a year ago , i stuffed it with plastic bags and now the eyes are deformed and and it seems like the latex expanded in the eyes only , is there a way to fix it or is it a gonner ? Btw its a liquid latex mask , any iformation would be gladly apreciated.

Not sure if there is an actual translucency or not, but the camera seems to imply that. Looks like the light somewhat shines through the skin of the pumpkin. I think for the money, this is an awesome option to cookie cutter foam pumpkins. I wonder if you could make a massive one (in one piece) using one of those plastic witch cauldrons? No seams either. Although you may need a spatula or something crafty to get the foam out. Anyhoo, thanks for sharing. 🤘💀

Any chance you got a tutorial for a easy cheap ZERO (dead dog from Nightmare before Christmas) decoration??? We’re wanting to do all Nigntmare before Christmas decorations for this Christmas season! We’re Big fans btw lol thanks for all the awesome videos!!!

Happy Halloween!

Wonderful as always. I am wondering if made on outside of bowl?

Beach ball mine came out great

I wonder if it would be useful to make the internal halves out of Great Stuff (so they join together easier, and also because it's cheaper) and loctite for the external layer (for sculpting).

I love binging all these videos. Does anyone remember what company or website he says that has good headforms?

I wonder if you could do what people use to do with that craft project from years ago (I remember my grandma doing it when I was little lol) with the balloon and the string/glue. Maybe you could use a balloon taped to the table (because a non taped balloon would roll around and be annoying LOL) and spray the foam around it. Then its one piece to start with, you would use less foam only having to do one layer, and don't mess around with the two floppy sides not wanting to stick to one another lol. The hole on the bottom where the balloon was sitting on the table you can use to pop the balloon once the foam is hardened, you can still carve the pumpkin since its hollow, and you have a spot for the candle to go since theres the hole on the bottom. (Fake candles only people! No real fire near foam please). I love these pumpkins though! I finally did a project with some spray foam (used great stuff though because I wasn't trying to shape it at all) and made some embers for a cauldron I made. Love being able to use materials that make those kind of crafts so quick and easy and look so good!

I hope you are making a ton of money with the haunt this year. Hopefully, I will be in better health next year.

Happy Halloween🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Ive been enjoying your videos lately, unfortunately this lockite foam is around $50 a can on amazon for canada. Hahaaa yes it is ridiculous. Thanks for the great vids!

Thankyou again❤❤❤🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

❤❤❤❤❤ Love both,

Could it also be possible to use some kind of balloon for the support of the foam instead of bowls? Like those balloons you blow up and punch.

I love the stim...Its perfect and kinda flat on top.. LOVED that ...and "no shrivel issues at his age? bahahahahaha

nice

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This is awesome! Would live to see a Leatherface bust.

I used your first spray foam video and locktite because of your other vids everybody wants me to make them one now just dont know how much too charge them I told how to make and gave the link to your account wish I could send pics

15:04 Pretty freakin cool Tyfs

When do we get to learn the "Stilt Beast" suit? The basics of the terrifying lerger than life look?

Can I use latex paint on foam pumpkin

Thanks Allen! Do you think a balloon would work?

How can I get one of those from you to wear on my head. I would make it myself but my hands are crippled. I like the first one that you made very much. But if I can have one i'd like to show you how I would want his face to be a sweet pumpkin. But they both came out awesome I would definitely put those in front of my house.

Can you do this with a balloon instead of bowls for the shape? And have you ever used foam clay? Would love to see you sculpt the face with that over the spray foam (and see if it would even work!)

Just curious if youd add anything under or over thebpaint id you were planning on leaving them outside?? Also your werewolf mask inspired the ears i made dor my kids costume thos year!

Allan, if you wanted a smoother pumpkin, could you use the wet fabric method you used in the spray foam tutorial of yours from about 8 years ago? Not with 2 pieces or the beachball, but the last exterior piece wrapped around the pumpkin and twine or electrical tape to make the deep ridges?

Is it OK to glue gun features to the pumpkin? I was thinking of using old corn Seeds as teeth. I suppose I could scoop some out of potato but that would be a large undertaking requiring greater skill. These old field corn seeds look like Janky teeth already.

Hay Allen l am from Australia how can l show you some props l love to make, it's not real big here but l have plans l am in perth it would be great to come to Perth xx

So maybe us great stuff as the interior shell and then coat with loctite. If carved it has that yellowish interior.

Can you make a vid on how you control the amount foam that comes out when you need to?

I see an evil snow man in the future

A foam zombie chicken would be pretty funny
