Out of all the high end videos out there this is the first one that literally walks you step by step...showing the parts at Loews, and then the pieces laid out on the floor is genius ...for those of us that are beginners this is a very clear walk through...now I dont feel so lost in doing this!
@@darrentrentacosta I have only done some simple things with fan motors. I would like to do something with else in the future and will definitely add that to my todo list.
man, I was just gonna look into buying Michael Myers outfit to use in the yard then I went online on how to make a cheap mannequin. and found this, THANKS! bravo!
PVC pipes seem to be „dirt cheap“ in the US. Might be because its the most important material for Halloween props 😊 Here in Germany you can multiply the price with 4. Nice video!
Absolutely love this tutorial! Thank you so much for making this, You went so much into detail and showed the entire process, Also showed the props in store so we could see exactly what you bought. I really appreciate it because I've been looking to make a few of these, So thank you!
Really great tutorial and the pool noodle idea is great. Some tips that might be helpful to people that werent mentioned in the vid. I recommend getting more footage of pvc pipes if you’re trying to make a character like Jason Voorheez. Hes like 7 feet tall so just add on what you think you’ll need. I mostly used this vid as a rough blueprint of mine and it worked out great. happy halloween!
Awesome! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Literally right down to the Scream costume 🙂 I just can't wait till my robe is ready! I ordered a custom made one.
Only one criticism. They all look great, except that ghost faces straight arm is way too long, his hand looks like it is hanging down by his knee. These look like easy frames to build. I may have to try a few for my props. I especially like the rib cage addition to yours. Thanks for sharing.
I'm gonna do this once I get ahold of the 25th anniversary movie edition Ghostface costume. I wanna just have him up in my room. For the torso, I'll use an old pillow to bulk it out. And the head I'll use will be a Styrofoam head covered in duct tape. With a black morph mask underneath so you don't see the duct tape.
Great idea for the hands I'm definitely going to do something similar but bulk it up a bit more. I also like the concept of having ghostface with a phone but i think he should have been bulked up a but more
I had a couple of comments about the foam head. I will definitely go that route in the future. I had that crappy cardboard left over from another project, so it worked out but I have plans to make some more.
If you want to make it so you can deconstruct it and reconstruct it you may want to drill holes and put screws through them. Then parts you don’t want to take apart use plumbing adhesive
Found a whole bunch of those hairdressing dummy heads at a thrift store near me..........just to find out they don't sell them when they get them because they use them to display wigs that they get too.......
There's sites online where you can get them even in off-season. foamnoodles.com/ has them. If you don't want to use foam noodles you can also put plastic grocery bags around them and wrap them in duct tape. Anything to add some bulk.

AWESOME!!!! This is so cool!!!! I am going to attempt this to make a Jason Voorhes for my electric chair!
Love the rib cage idea! Wish I’d of seen this video weeks ago! Will use it again on my next build.

Awesome idea. I'm sharing this.

Thank you sooo much!! I need to make a body for my Witch head. I had the idea to do it this way and you answered all of my questions😊
Glad I could help!

Thank you!! I need this for my Pennywise.
Awesome. I would love to see the results
Awesome thank you.
Great video 👍 thanks!
You got it. Thanks for interacting!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I really want to build my own ghostface and Michael next year.😅
Get started now. Next Halloween will be here sooner than you think. Thank you for your comment and have a great day.

Good job. I do something similar. For the head I use foam heads. Stick the pvc right into the head holds pretty good.
I had a couple of comments about the foam head. I will definitely go that route in the future. I had that crappy cardboard left over from another project, so it worked out but I have plans to make some more.
You get a subscribe for this sir
Ty
perfect vid but i got the wrong sized pvc piping, damn
JoAnn Fabrics has male and female foam heads year-round (usually year-round)
I like that idea and will definitely get some of those for future projects.
What wire did you use to make the "bones" for the hands?
Do you need to glue them together I mean like I don’t have a lot of room to put the stuff so I’d rather just put it in a small box
You should. Otherwise stuff starts falling off as you move it around.
The Platinum Family ok thank you
Nice. Curious how tall you are?
September 8, 2024
I am sorry, I bought all the material but did you do another video showing the measurements of each piece?
There’s a schematic in the description
EXXX~cellent.... (in a scary voice.) (Thanks!)
What kind of glue could we use if we plan on deconstructing for storage?
If you want to make it so you can deconstruct it and reconstruct it you may want to drill holes and put screws through them. Then parts you don’t want to take apart use plumbing adhesive
Dang these prices for PVC has spiked.
🥲
This is awesome! What’s the wire you use for the hands?
I don't remember the exact number, but it was not stranded. It was just some stiff small roll of single wire. Not coated
What size clothes do U use?
So usually old clothes I had which is a large top and around 34 waist.
@@platinumdragon7 awesome thank you for the reply
What was the price for all the materials like the connectors pool noodles and pvc pipes
$40
We’re do you get the pipes from?
Lowes, Home Depot, Menards
Can I please have the dimensions of the pipes?
3/4" diameter. Also see this picture m.imgur.com/zNVcbHa
Do you know how tall this guy is. Trying to make one of these myself and using this as a reference
Around 5’10” but it can easily be made taller or shorter by changing the length of the legs
Use your own limbs as reference.
Found a whole bunch of those hairdressing dummy heads at a thrift store near me..........just to find out they don't sell them when they get them because they use them to display wigs that they get too.......
I will do this
Nice, but be careful, someone might try and steal your masks👍
Uhh this is crazy.. i was trying to make a ghostface life sized so i searched for “pvc mannequin” and this is the FIRST result
Yeah but who sells pool noodles in October....
