Halloween Infinity Mirror Illusion Guide

- Made a video showing a more in depth look at the infinity illusion I made for the rear of the hearse. It was built with materials bought at HomeDepot except for the skulls and lanterns of course. Let me know what you think!
That’s remarkable - I came up with this idea a few days ago, using some very good quality skulls to create an endless crypt passage, been drawing it up and planning it, and I googled endless hallway and found this video! I love how us haunters are both individual and similar in our creative mindsets. This is helpful, thanks!
That end result is just mind blowing. Thanks for all the detail and footage on this!
Still think this was a brilliant idea instead of the typical coffin in the hearse. Very informative tutorial, everyone will love it for sure!!!!
Thanks!!!
Awesome! Every new home should come with one of these at the end of the hall!
I will do this for my mausoleum. It will really give it that extra dimension. Thanks for showing how it is constructed.
Thank you so much for the video this was the first prop I ever built for my haunted house and ever since Ive been obsessed with them there not enough tutorials out there and while this isn’t necessarily a tutorial the right person will gather all they need from this video and there should be a billion tutorials of these but it’s becoming a lost art
Thanks so much!!!!
This illusion box is amazing. I just finished building one based on this video! I wish I could post a photo of it but it came out amazing. If you're ever in Portland it's on display in an oddity museum called The Skeleton Key Odditorium and we gave your channel credit as inspiration. Thank you for this video!
This is the best tutorial video on this I've seen on this yet. There's not a whole lot out there! Between your video and reading through the comments, you've answered a lot of questions I had about this, so thank you! I'm making an endless hallway this year and my pieces of plexiglass are 32x72. I'm incredibly nervous about this. Wish me luck!
Thats awesome!!! good luck!!
This is like my dream DIY. I hope I can try it one year.
Man, I wish I could find a husband creative and crafty like this. Our house around Halloween would be epic with our two minds working together lol
Grand it is! well done!
This is so damn wonderful. So well done. The lighting is beyond perfect.
I'm surprised by how dramatic it is but so simple at the same time
This is so cool! I might have to make one now! Thank you so much for the tutorial/info!!!
No problem hope it was helpful!!
Very helpful! :)
Awesome. Was at the museum of illiusuons today and had an idea to do just this, but may downgrade the size to more of a window/portal
Brilliant. Thank you for posting this. I cant wait to try it.
Be a great idea for behind a closet door in a guest room.
Checking out all the DWD entries. AN amazing effect! thanks for sharing the info as well!
Thanks so much!!!
Fantastic effect for the hearse! Looks amazing!
Thank you for taking the time to explain how you made the infinity illusion!
No problem!!!
This is very cool! I want to make a Booknock and I'm figuring out how. Thanks for sharing ♥️
i would love a step-by-step guide to making this! i want to fit it into my closet door....secret catacombs!
What a great job....thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the video. Very cool. Gonna try this.
This is incredible!! Love it!! I’m going to make one this year. Can you please tell me what type of lights you used and what type of 2-way mirror film you used? Thx you for the inspiration!!!
Hi. I know this is an old video but, what is the green light you use for the random effect on the skulls? Awesome project.
HI this was one of those old fire and ice lights they used to sell at homedepot and lowes with the swirling effect this one just happened to be two shades of green swirling around instead of yellow and orange
This is great and we are working on one now. I was wondering how you ended up doing the lighting, we are having a tough time with that. Thanks for the great video!
I drilled holes in the top of the box and placed led spot lights in them shining down. The key for me was not having too much light!
Thank You we will try it@@EerieAcresCemetery
Wow i love your work keep doing it you are my hero of Halloween 🎃
Haha thanks so much!!!!
wow you got my likes and subscribe. cant wait to see future stuff. bar far one of the best inrinity mirror thechniques ive seen yet
So clever! I love it!
OOOOOOOO I get t now!!! Thank you sooooo much for showing this, sure does help think I can make one now (different but the same).
Very cool effect Ant. I love it.
Excellent job !!!
awesome job
Thanks!!
Can i order this?
Thanks for the info and it really turned out nice.
Love the video and this idea, thanks.
In regards to the people that said plexiglass wouldn't work, the plexiglass might decrease the number of "mirrored layers" depending on the thickness and pigmentation. This usually happens when the distance between the one way mirror and the tinted/2 way mirror are close together, like a picture frame. I have tested those narrow designs with different pigmentations/distance between panels and the worst case scenario was the mirrored copy faded gradually towards the middle of the field of view. When working on these narrow projects the 2 layers are much closer together. I dont think it applies to what you are doing. Since your repeating image has a ton of depth.
Great job 👏👏👏
Turned out awesome :)
Thanks!!!
Damn that's cool, new idea for my next guitar build (:
How did you adhere the plexiglass to the wood? I am using wood along the edges, but its bowing in the middle.
the plexi glass is screwed onto the wood along the edges be sure to predrill the plexi so it doesnt crack. the front piece is taped on along the edges so i can easily remove it to arrange the pieces inside.
Awesome! Thanks for the "how to" on this.
When you painted the back of the plexiglass mirror black, what kind of paint did you use, and did you sand it or anything first?
I just regular old black spray paint!
awesome job.
how did you get the shimmering green glow without it showing in the mirrors? Im assuming you used on of the gemmy projectors.
Im using the fire and ice LED spot lights that they sell at all of the store now it does reflect off the mirrors but it just gets bounced around as light so you dont notice at all really
CONGRATS ON 5000 SUBS!!
Thanks so much!!!!!! Now I gotta find a way to celebrate!!!
Instead of a Hearse, I think it could be scaled down to an "Open Crypt" kind of thing. Simple carved styrofoam with an ornate carved window on the front that reveals the illusion of the skulls n bones inside. Great work! So your box contains 16 skulls, the bones and two lanterns? Dollar store has $5 lanterns that would be great for this project.
Your work is fantastic my friend. My wife and I are always trying to step up our Halloween display and your videos are very inspiring! Thanks!
Thanks so much!!!!!
Can you tell me if your viewing window has mirror tint film on it? Thanks
yes both mirrors were made using Gila Mirror privacy tint
awesome man ! thanks for the tutorial! just might add this clever move to mine! thanks man! josh kirk
Thank you for the amazing video. Would it be possible to create a version for selfies? What kind of modification I have to do so you can take a selfie in this mirror. Thank you again!
What is it that gives the flowing light? Also what would you do differently now that it's built?
I'm using one of those fire and ice lights they sell at spirit halloween and home depot except instead of red and orange this one is green and orange gives it a really cool eerie effect!
Very Cool!
SoooooHow did you make it? I see that there is a mirror in the back I see that you have the objects on the side what does the front one have? Is the front want to a mirror? How did you get that green tint to everything? I noticed when she pulled the glass off the green tint went away
it has two mirrors facing each other made out of plexifglass and mirror window tint. the green tint is coming from the green lights shinning down into the box.
So the mirror tint you apply is two way?
Great job. One question on the plastic and tint, I can see the back had tint side in, but with regards to front was tint side in or out. thanks
Thanks! in both cases I have the tint on the inside for both the front and back I did this to protect the tint itself from getting scratched and things like that
That "warp field" effect at 4:17 ... maybe if you distort the front mirror deliberately with hidden servos, you can create some kind of nauseating space warp effect.
Ant, are your skulls store bought or did you make them yourself?
I got these from Nightmare Makers on facebook! they are super awesome people!!
I got these from Nightmare Makers on facebook!! Super nice people!!!
Nice job!
Great work mate!
So let me get this right
2sheets of plexi glass, each covered with gila privacy mirror film
The back plexi mirror you spray painted black
The front plexi you just left as just having gila privacy mirror film?
Im trying to do this with Huge glass door panels going to try and make a hallway out of this, any advice would help a ton.
What did you end up doing?
This is way too cool. I'm definitely thinking about making one for next year. Did you buy or make the wagon wheels for the hearse? Keep up the good work. Your stuff is amazing.
Thanks so much! I bought the wagon wheels they were pretty cheap from a store called At Home much easier than trying to build them myself!
Excellent work. Home Depot has their lanterns and skulls out for Halloween now. You just started too early. :)
so is that mirror tint the kind that reflects one way but you can see out?
exactly so in this case the two reflective sides are facing each other. I painted the back of the rear one black to make it a true mirror and left the front alone so it acts like a 2 way mirror
cool deal, looks great man.. i could see doing a hallway section like this :)
oh for sure you could do a hallway might a little pricey getting and or making mirrors that large a more cost effective solution would be to make a crack/hole in a wall with an infinite section in it that people could walk behind and realize the space doesnt make sense! I wanted to do that with a mausoleum but didnt get the chance to
Eerie Acres Cemetery that sounds really cool you should totally do a video on that!
where'd you get the skulls or did you make them yourself?
I got them from Nightmare Makers on facebook they are awesome people!!
What kind of film is used on the glass ?
Gila Privacy Mirror tint I got it from Home Depot works great!
That's cool
Please I beg to send me more video links of how you made this so that I can understand more
I can try to help as best I can. Do you have any particular questions about how it all works?
This is SO cool! I bought all of the stuff to make it from Home Depot, except the paint for the back mirror - did you paint the back of the mirror black, or silver? Thanks so much for sharing your genius idea!
I painted the back of the rear mirror black to keep outside light from coming in! Be sure to post some videos when you are done!!!
I found the Gila brand mirror tint but what plexiglass did you use?
Your double effect in the hearse is brilliant.
Thanks!!! I used regular sheets of plexiglass from homedepot I got them in 1/4inch thick I think??
+Eerie Acres Cemetery. Thank you. Several people in our haunter group are interested in making one of these Illusions. This will give us the opportunity to help on the budget thank you again.
thats awesome love the look !! HFL!!
Thanks!
where did you get the masks
Those are foam skulls from Nightmare Makers on facebook!
I love your videos. What is your email so I can get more information on how to create this? I would love to start working on it now for Halloween 2019!
AND I'M SURE ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR HEAD, AN INFINITY MIRROR IS ONE OF THE EASIEST THINGS IN THE WORLD TO MAKE
Cool story brah
Cool!!! Do u have a parts list for this?
I used regular plexiglass and GILLA mirrow window tint all of which I got from homedepot, the only thing here I didnt get from homedepot was the skulls!
