Recreating a 60+ YEAR old vintage Halloween mask from Topstone Rubber Company
#vintagehalloween #halloweennostalgia #topstone #vintagemask #halloweenmask #spfx #halloween #topstonerubbercompany
The family who puts on the Bethel Pumpkin House had a master mother mold of the "goof" mask from the Topstone Rubber Company when they used to be in Bethel, CT in the 60s/70s. This mold is 60+ years old and we wanted to preserve some Halloween history!
We casted the original mother mold in alginate and brushed in some monster clay. We then had an exact copy of this vintage Halloween mask from Topstone! We were able to smooth the cracks and deterioration of the original mold. We molded the final sculpt and were able to cast this classic Halloween mask and recreate it bringing...

    • @menaceproductions

    I'm looking for a 'smart' light/powersource (standard plugs) I can plug my lights into that I can program to change/on/off/fade out slowly so I don't have all the lights on all the time with too much light going on. Do you know of such a product that I could program with an app on my iPhone?

    • @menaceproductions
      @menaceproductions Месяц назад

      Its hard to find a light with standard plug that can be programed. Some of the GE sync, Hue, Govee might have pre-fixed settings in their apps (most will let you set and program but not to auto change). you could also try something like light-o-rama to plug lights into a program but not sure if they have a mobile app. Gantom lighting is another but sadly they dont have standard plugs
