The Bob Ross of Haunters - we dont make mistakes, just happy little skeleton parts. As always, you never cease to amaze with your ingenuity and spark the creativity of the mind! Keep it up, you are the best!

I wish people were less afraid of making mistakes… preventing them from even starting. I love how you reiterate “finished is better than perfect!” Mistakes and failures help us learn, much more thoroughly than straining for perfection.

"Never be afraid to fix a mistake just because you took a long time making it." 😆🤣😆. THANK YOU for posting your videos! I love watching the creation of spooky props and your techniques are fun to watch from a creative process. I love that you include the mistakes - it makes it feel like a more realistic process (As well as add humor during the editing process)

I LOVE THIS!....THE IDEA, THE EXECUTION AND THE MISTAKES!...Showing the mistakes that we as newbies are bound to make, as well as the "fixes", is so reassuring. It takes the stress out of trying something new, at least for me. I know that things can be adjusted and fixed to get an acceptable result! Plus being on a budget for my current project, even 30.00 for a cheap skelly can add up... This is BRILLIANT!!

Many years ago, I found your video on corpsing a skeleton, it was a blast to do then and it has lasted for years. My human pelts finally had to be retired. I still very much enjoy all your work. Thanks for all the great ideas.

You mentioned you can use great stuff in the same way. I tried to save a buck, and regret it. Great stuff doesn't get a skin on it in the same way. I got very sticky. In the end I made it work. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Thanks for showing just how you adjust on the fly. Everyone makes mistakes or changes their mind/has a better idea mid-project. Great to see!

Allen I love your positive attitude when you realised your mistakes. I would have been very annoyed and cussing at myself. Looks good.

You are one creative guy ,Love Love Love your work

I can't stop watching your videos! So much talent and creativity. Thank you for sharing yourself with us!

Thank you for the tutorials, after working in the games industry many years ago I changed career and made a business unrelated to art, but really disliked running it, I have now got back into art making and casting fine art sculptures, your tutorials are great to give artists ideas on how to build fine art sculptures and the general mentality to get things done. I love your finished is better than perfect. You are so right.

And I'm back reviewing this technique before I jump into making vined pumpkin scarecrow. I truly appreciate all you do & that it's available for everyone to learn From & get inspired.

I love on these videos there is the positive narration while he is making it and then the self deprecating narration in typing haha.

This turned out to be really motivational. Thanks for your wisdom.

That's awesome. I'm going to go buy this spray foam today and get started. Thank you.

Currently making 2 7ft Creepers...I was struggling with how to make the hands for both models. this is perfect! Thank you Allen!!

Thank you so much for another amazing video, with so many application possibilities. I had been racking my brain trying to figure out how I can make something that looks like vines climbing up a structure. As I watched this video I realized you just gave me the answer. Thank you so much.

You make it look so easy. I bought some foam the other day, whoa, had all my fingers stuck with stuff! Ha Ha! I did forget about the water though. That is an important part. My hat's off to you on the work you do. I will try again and promise to not forget the spray water. Love watching you make stuff!

Thank you for this technique. I've been able to apply it to making pumpkin vines & leaves , as well as angel wings for a 36" skeleton. The dried foam takes light carving well for details. But it Quickly dulls my knives, I just resharpen them with knife sharpening stone. It created a very fluid or natural look. I'm looking forward to finding other uses for this wonderful tool you shared. Thanks again!

Love the project. Gonna try this. Also love the Buccee’s shirt.

Wow! just the hand shaping was amazing, it looked menacing! I bet you could scale up this process to make your own 10ft skeleton! Would be a lot of foam and would definitely need some reinforcement but I bet it'd be even cooler than the store bought ones! Especially if it still had blood and remnants of muscle and flesh on it!

omg I just found foam last year and it is by far my favorite new toy I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

Somehow I came across your videos and I am forever grateful i did. Awesome stuff!

Bad ass gonna try this tonight once again you are the home hunters hero!

Thanks, i always learn something from you.I haven't played with foam for awhile. I need to.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE HAND! I need about 15 of them and I didn't want to waste all those gloves.

Love your Buc-ees t-shirt and your videos are very helpful and thank you so much I have a lot to learn about Halloween props thank you

Awesome work as always thank you for your videos

That is awesome, thanks for sharing, my wife and I are gonna love making this.

I love all your videos I have learned so much thank you thank you thank you Halloween is my holiday and I have an amazing Halloween party yearly

Dude your stuff is awesome, simple yet effective. thanks for the info

Thank you for sharing. Another great product and presentation.

Oh man.. did I find your channel at a wonderful time. Don't know if you reply to comments in your old tutorials, but I enjoy watching your videos. I'm currently making something out of paper towels, water, newspaper, and glue. Acrylic paints and clear caulk will be applied once the forms are dried out and finished. Hopefully, Zombie Walk will happen this year. Keep making stuff! Also, I liked the Ghost Bucky on your shirt!

love it! always told the wife spray foam was a friend!! 😂😂. thanks for the ideas!!

Your dialogue set off my Fire TV Cube with Alexa. A function I never use. It took me 10 minutes to figure it out!! You owe me one can of spray foam, for the trouble!😉

Just caught a glimpse of your Sharpie wall rack as you consulted the rib ref pic on the computer. Nice!

Art is expressed in so many ways. Your art is awesome, and never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for your videos. I feel inspired to try your methods for improving my Halloween haunted house.

I love your videos thank again 🇬🇧😁take care

That's it, I'm buying stock in Loctite.. skeleton in a can... brilliant!!

Cool technique !

This is excellent! I just finished watching your corpsing video. These two go hand in hand, or at least I hope so. Thanks!

"Oh there's hot glue there. It's collagen!" I died. That was perfect. 🤣🤣🤣

These projects are great, i’ll maybe try some for Halloween. Thanks!!!

Love this channel

Great talent and a nice sense of humor. I love your channel. 💀❤

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾PHENOMENAL!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 And LOVE the Buc--ee's T -Shirt👍🏾💯💜

I love what u do.

Why did I keep thinking you were going to stuff this in a large can at the end??? And I was excited to see it! Still very fun tutorial : )

I LOVE THIS!!!! Thank you!

Love it! 💚💚💚

Great project. Thanks

Great job

Awesome as always!

Oh my gawd, I just made a hand and a spider and I can't wait to paint them tomorrow and then next week I'm gonna teach my students how to do it!!!!! I have so many ideas!

Very creative and extremely low cost!

Just after Halloween I utilized left over parts to make a motorized ground breaker and am in need for some skeletal/zombie hands for it. I was upset that I missed all the after Halloween sales (most seemed to have occurred a week prior instead of after this year) so I could procure some cheap body parts. However this is AMAZING. YOU are AMAZING. I've worked with foam before but not quite like this. You have some talent, thanks for sharing. I'm running out to get a can of foam now.

Absolutely fantastic 😱👍

That is so cool!!😊

I am thinking about doing this to my back yard fence. Make the vines “blend” into old dying trees just beyond my fence that are covered in cudzo. Didnt want to use foam noodles for entire fence. Maybe rotate random props caught up in the vines. Watch it from the pool! Thanks for the technique on how to paint and make the vines. 2/3d

That was pretty cool

My Alexa kept replying to you and starting 5 min timer

OMG!!!! I love your Buc-ee's shirt!!! 👻

I am going to try this for sure

Amazing. Always needing hands and this is perfect.

This stuff has great potential

Looks Good!

I love your shirt.

So fricking cool. Game changer for me

“Vairdeee interestding Allen vairdeee interestding” lol love it I’m gonna experiment !!👍

I think you do awesome work! I would love to work with you love Halloween

Just found your channel... as I've been going through your videos... I have to constantly tell Alexa to stop the timers. lol

You give me hope

I find you humorous

I actually never considered the idea of making a skeleton out of spray foam, but you can!

Hahaha Thats Genius ... now I have another way to make skeletons when i run out of Romex ..thanks for sharing as always HFL!!

This is the most amazing stuff I've ever seen! I can't wait to make a skeleton forearm, stick it in the ground in front of one of those headstones with some funny saying on it.

you made that look WAY easier than it is

2 ?s, when that cures/hardens is it similar to pva foam in texture and squishyness? Can you use a xacto knife or another razor blade to tidy it up a bit? Thanks big guy!

True artist

Great stuff

SOOO COOOL❤😮

I absolutely love your vids! You inspire me to take the chance and try to make my own props! Thank you!

Are you located in Texas? I ask because I am and I saw the Buc-ees shirt! :)

baie geluk goeie werk 👏👍👈 sukses daar familie 🤝

This tutorial could easily become the Face Hugger from Alien as well, just skipping the sternum step! Great work.

These would look cool attached to black shirt & pants or one of those black body suits, and if you really paid attention to the anatomy when sculpting all the bones... It would take a lot of effort but it would look badass! Would you be able to get needle and a sturdy thread through the foam to sew it on, I wonder, or would you have to just use a lot of E6000...

This is sweet!!!!

Easy with the Alexa commands . Lol I love this!

Very cool! I’m thinking this might work to apply to zombie chest for zombie costume. When the foam is completely dry.. is it still a little pliable?

Your videos are fabulous!! Thanks for sharing, mistakes and fixes. Starting my hands using gloves tomorrow. Took your advice, Go make something. 🤣

Any chance you could do a DIY mannequin made out of pvc and spray foam? I saw a video about this somewhere else, but they didn't show how they made it.....only all the things they used a cheap mannequin for. Many thanks if you would do this for us! I would love to find a cheap, easy mannequin (full body) build to use for Halloween props, or to make a life sized nativity scene. And store bought mannequins are just way too expensive.

That’s a great way to incorporate a pile of bones into one of those ember piles made from expandable foam & lights.

I love the subtitle commentary lol! Also i need that glue gun!

always full of new easy ideas, love this. What could you use to build a skull ? a balloon or bowl?

I'm astounded

Thanks for your video. I discovered this stuff a couple of years ago, but didn't really know what you could do with it. Do you think you can cast or create a mold with it?

That's not bad Allen , did you eventually make the full skeleton?

Could you use vegetable spray (like for cooking) instead of water to keep it from sticking? Also, I LOVE this and I'm going to teach kids how to do it!

Hi .how make autopsy prosthetic makeup? Can you video makeup?
