Nothing short of genius.
Thanks Bob ... but then you know how close to madness genius is, or so they say.
Without a doubt. Best DIY video ever! Subscribed based on that alone. Great job
Hi Elvis. Thanks for subscribing, watching and commenting, it is greatly appreciated.
This is a great design! Nice work!
I'm glad that you liked my design for this animated prop. Thanks also for watching and commenting.
This is the most beautiful prop i think you have done, and the most clever so bravo.
God this is just insufferably cute
Hi John. Well cute was not quite what I was going for, but I will it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and for leaving a comment, it is much appreciated.
My kids and I love your videos!! You are doing such a good job!! We have watched seriously all of your videos! Love em!!
Thanks Riley for the wonderful comment. I stress that Halloween should be family friendly, so I love that your kids have enjoyed the videos.
This is epic! I would love to use this to build an animatronic Pterodactyl ❤
I'm glad that you like jollyrodge. Have fun with the build, let me know how it turns out... and thanks for watching!
Fantastic! What a creative idea to use a bottle opener. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these DIY videos. We always look forward to what you're doing.
Thanks Hollywood Haunter, coming from you two that means a great deal. I always appreciate your nice comments!
Wow. The corkscrew was ingenious!!!
I had been wanting to do a prop with it for years. Thanks MrsC B!
I'm always amazed at both the simplicity of your videos/builds and what amazing results you get. This one is particularly impressive. Great job.
What a wonderful compliment. Thanks VanOaks, coming from you that means a great deal.
This is a genius build, theres nothing like it out there. Thanks for your brilliant brain and organized video!
What a wonderful compliment. Thanks Coxster for watching and for taking the time to comment, it's much appreciated.
While as you said in the beginning it was complex, you broke it down to where it was easy to follow and understand without flying through everything. Thank you, even someone not mechanically inclined such as myself can make this 😊
Thanks Tiffany, such a great comment from you. I feel that I have done my job well if it gives you the confidence to try.
Outstanding Job on this. I think this may be the single best "How to" video i have seen with the detail and clarity on the project. Super creative .
WOW Daniel Baker, thanks for the glowing review!
Your help is tremendous ! It is an involved build for sure and brand and material dependent. That said your instruction is fantastic and advice spot on - My raven is turning out fabulous.
So happy to hear Brad! I would love to see it when it is complete.
Can't believe I've never seen this one before. Genius use of the corkscrew. It's like that particular one was made for this project!
Unbelievable tutorial. Very good idea to use a corkscrew endoskeleton. Nicely done!
Thanks for the nice comment magicwrestler86 and for watching. Fascinating what you can do with things that you find around the house.
I know this is a few years old but gotta comment. You are the king of this art of Halloween gaff, if that is term used, instruction. Perfect pace, complete, and some real genius. As a magician and puppet guy I know the joy of finding what works. You are as nuts as we are! You are a good guy
Thanks Steve for the very nice complements. Great minds think alike, right?!
This seems complex... yet you make it doable. Thank you
I hope that I inspire others to take-on some more difficult builds. Thanks for the nice comment Jennifer.
I love the backround sets!
You have a keen eye Kid Slimes, thanks for noticing!
Love this
Thanks Natalie!
Wow!! Even though this is a complex build, your instructions make it "doable". Thanks so much for creating your awesome tutorials!
Hi Natalie. I'm so glad that these "How-T"o videos give you the confidence to take them on, even a complex build. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
These tutorials are excellent. Clear, easy to follow, lists all the items you need.... They're very inspiring! I really hope you continue to make more!
Hi SD WA. Thanks for watching and for leaving such a nice comment. Yes, more tutorial videos are on the way.
Excellent tutorial! Genius! Love it! Thank you! 💚💚💚
Thank you SGL, I appreciate you watching and for also taking the time to leave such a nice comment.
Once again an amazing prop - who knew my corkscrew had a use beyond wine. This is a touch one but breaking it down into three different parts made it easy to follow and not so intimidating to give it a try. Love the way that you build the prop on your site and then inventively place it in an incredible scene. Amazingly creative!
Thanks Arlen Orchard for your spot-on analysis! I always appreciate your attention in recognizing how the videos are purposefully constructed.
Ingenious!!! love your Halloween how-to's!
Thanks Dane, so glad that you do. Thanks also for watching and for leaving such a nice comment.
FINALLY a vlogger who explains every detail on their DIY's!! YOU are amazing, I binged watched all of your videos and I am so inspired.. I hit the bell for your notifications and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! #halloween #animatronics
Hi HoneyLoop. Wow, thank you so much for the wonderful endorsement, I'm glad that my videos inspired you. Thanks also for becoming a subscriber!!
Another brilliant tutorial! Many thanks for posting!
Thanks Joe, glad you liked.
This is a great video.I didn't realize that the head slightly turned.That is a cool effect.
Hey Wayne, appreciate the comment. The head movement is a somewhat random result determined in how the connection between the screw eye and the terminal loop interact.
Absolutely the best How to video. So well done!!!
Thanks Joe! Thanks also for watching, commenting and for subscribing.
This is FREAKIN AWESOME!
Thanks Patrick.
Very cool!
Thanks jasperjanderson, glad that you like!
Bravo!
I am so glad I found this channel!! you are so clear and easy to follow. Ive watched many how to and the way you show each step makes me feel like I can actually do this!
thank you!!!
Hi Me. Thanks for watching and if you have any questions, just let me know.
Wonderful work. Thank you!
And thank you grinningtiki220 for taking the time to watch and comment.
One of the best detailed videos I've ever seen on RUclips! Phenomenal job!!!!!
Harold, thank you for the very complimentary post. Your words are encouraging and I appreciate that.
This is so impressive and absolutely genius! I love your thorough, well done and creative tutorials. Thank you so much and please keep up the amazing work!!
Stephanie Mrowiec, I really appreciate your thoughtful comments and for watching these tutorials. Thanks!
Amazing job Paul. I’m addicted to your diy videos.

Amazing Tutorial a lot of time taken into making this easy for others...
Thanks Centre Media Events, just trying to keep Halloween fun and family friendly. I appreciate the nice comment.
Excellent as always.
Thanks finding magic for your comment and for watching our videos.
Best wishes from Distortions on your Halloween DIY videos!
What a nice thing to say, thanks Distortions!
I hope you do more this year! These are so amazing!!
Thanks for your interest Rhiannon, I will have a brand new video out in about a week.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms exciting! can't wait!
Really helpful. I find watching at 1.25x speed sounds very natural.
Thanks RiotDemon.
You are amazing.
Thanks Steve, I'm just trying to keep Halloween fun and family friendly. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment.
This is amazing - it should have way more views!
Hi Timmy, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and the nice compliment.
I love this!
Thanks MadMan!
Wow that is really good. All that from a corkscrew. Nice work
Thanks Joey. It's amazing what you can do with simple things, pieces of wood, common items from a hardware store and thrift store finds.
Lol i need this raven in my life!!!
I'm so glad that you like it, thanks Myyst for watching and commenting.
Very creative!! I love it!!
Thanks Fraidy Zone!
Phenomenal job. Another prop to add to my ever growing list of things I want to make. I would suggest that hot glueing the wings of the corkscrew to the shoulder blades of the raven in addition to the zip ties would improve securement.
Thanks Kevin Finkel for watching, I am so glad that you are inspired to take on making these props.
Wow, what a great tutorial thanks 👍
Thanks Leigh for the nice comment.
love it !!!!
Hi RG JUBILEE. Thanks for watching more of our videos and for commenting, we really appreciate it!
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms you are welcome . I like learning from you how to make things move it will help me make my things better thanks.
Awsome genius.
Thanks 100%!
You are amazing and unbelievably talented. I love ❤️🥰 all your props and videos. God bless you 🙏
I really appreciate the kind words Jane Houck, what a great fan you are!
Paul,this guy is fantastic, and the tutorial is well executed, and simple to follow. Thank you. I had to use a different brand of corkscrew, but it worked out fine. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get repeatable head movement and an opening and closing beak.
Thanks Steb for taking the time to post a comment and for the nice compliment.
you have NO idea how badly I needed this
Thanks Bluebelle51.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms thank YOU !!!!
If I kept the bird looking more lively, I could use this prop in my Madame Leota’s room!
Well Tristan, you must know that the Haunted Mansion's Raven was my inspiration for this prop.
You can buy bags of black feathers and red blacklight paint for like a buck
Lol I was going to use this for my madam Leora setup
Fantastic tutorial I'll be looking to replicate during the offseason
Hi EGriff, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms I also shared with my DIY page.
Very well done. As I watched the intro I was impressed by the complex motions the raven made and I couldn't imagine how your were going to pull this one off... By far the most complex build on this channel. I like the solution you came up with, excellent idea I would have never thought about a wine corkscrew remover! You make it clear how to make this mechanism... Compare that to my method: It is a struggle to figure out how to make mechanisms do compound actions such as rise up, raise arms, and lunge forward, that takes the majority of time on my builds... the lighting, sound effects, programming, and control are easy parts for me, but since they are worked on last, I'm actually programming the prop (Arduino) a few hours before Halloween night! Talk about pressure!
Hey Ray. I hope all goes well for you on Halloween ... I can fully understand the pressure that you are under. I so appreciate your comment on how complex the motions of the raven initially looked. I liken it to a magic trick, you scratch your head trying to figure out how it is done and then when you find out you are amazed at how simple it all is.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms : You are so right about that. The work that goes into figuring it out in the first place is the hard part, then you take it a step further and create a tutorial on it. Besides my background in electronics/embedded systems, I've also been in education for 10 years as an adjunct professor at CSU, Hayward (East Bay) Computer Science and Multimedia program; so I know the challenges about prepping and putting together instructional content. Again, I applaud your work... It is amazing and you do both the design/engineering and instruction parts very well.
Wine opener!?! Brilliant solution Paul! I never would have thought of that. How do you come up with these designs? Congrats on another wonderful build and top-notch step-by-step tutorial. Will we get a sneak-peek of your own home haunt set-up this Halloween?
Hey Steve, thanks for your very generous comments. The mechanics of the common corkscrew wine opener has intrigued me for years. My own home haunt set-up has simplified one the years , especially with videos to produce.
WOW !! A wine opener Damn ...thats some creative shit right there your my new DIY Hero !! HFL!!
Thanks Deoblo85, more coming for 2021!
This is really great! Can you help me understand how the head turns back and forth?
Thanks for asking Bobbijean. The head movment is an unintended "happy accident" at the coupling located where the push-pull rod exits from the top of the perch and joins right under the raven's tail. The push-pull connector moves the Raven's connector up and down but also causes a slight rotation when doing so. This in-turn causes the head to rotate.
When it starts out with “This is a very involved prop,” my response is Oh no!
LOL, I hope that I did not scare you off Carrie! Thanks for watching (hopefully beyond the introduction) and for taking the time to leave a comment.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms You did not scare me off! I still watched the video in its entirety and saved it in my Future Makes folder! Your instructions are always great.
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. so well done. I have attempted, but my raven doesn't move as freely as yours does and the ring terminal actually detaches from the wire on my version. I am using the exact Sunbeam corkscrew and I bought the Target raven. only difference I think could be that the electrical wire I have seems more stiff than what you used, but I wouldn't think that would be the culprit. Maybe some paint got stuck in the corkscrew mechanism when I painted it black, but it moves freely if I pull the wire down with pliers, but not if I pull using my hand. wondering if you had any suggestions for me. Love Love Love the prop.
Hi odiebenny. I am sorry that your raven is not working as it should. I know that others have built it with good results. The fact that the ring terminal detaches might indicate that something is not moving freely (corkscrew perhaps?) and too much stress is being put on that connection. I know how frustrating it can be to try and pinpoint the problem. It may come down to trial and error with trying some slightly different materials and double checking that all connection points are moving freely without an obstruction of some kind, somewhere along the way.
I know this is a complex prop and an already long video, but I think it may help to add a few more moments of “why we do this part” - some seem obvious, but I think we’d benefit from the reasoning before you show the finished product.
Thanks Kerri for your constructive criticism. I agree with you, it is a conscious decision at times in order to keep the video moving. I will be more aware of it in future videos, however much like following someone's cooking recipe, it is while in the "process of doing" that you realize why they did it a certain way.
I have to add that I LOVE THESE VIDEOS! I agree that MOST Of it makes common sense as you go, and you explain the process really well, but maybe in the initial drawing of the 3 separate sections- when you mention that the bird is animated by the push/pull rod, you could add a bit about the motor and the corkscrew, or at the end, show the motor moving the bird without the cover on... similar to the way you did the tea pot... just some thoughts! Overall I think your videos are so great, and super helpful!
Very creative design! Do you have any problem with the PicoVolt programming "drifting" during the night?
Hello Halstaff's Animatronic Workshop, you have a great channel by the way. No I have not noticed the problem of the PicoVolt program drifting ... but then again I am only programming generic movement and not necessarily specific task movements that need to be synced with music or sound cues for example. I will pay more attention and see if any of mine do "drift". Thanks for asking and for bring this to my attention!
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms Thank you! I enjoy each of your videos as well!
I've had my PIcoVolt drift a bit. When programming, I need to allow for it by not pushing the movement all the way to the extremes. I wouldn't want the motor to drive past the end point and pull things apart.
By the way, I'm shopping for a new corkscrew today! Keep up the great videos!
I wonder, what do you do with all of your amazing props once they are finished? Do you also do a home haunt?
Hey Tristan, thanks for asking. I do a scaled back haunt on Halloween night ... now that so much time is spent producing the videos.
HALLOWEEN DIY & HOW-TO by Saul Films Hey! Do you know where I could find the sound effect of the evil laugh from the beginning of all of your videos?

HALLOWEEN DIY & HOW-TO by Saul Films THANKS SO MUCH!
try this again ; Does the corkscrew style matter - the enclosed cog type real hard to find i.e sunbeam with the through hole at pivot point on cog - recommendations ?
Hi Brad, thanks for asking. Yes it does matter and probably the most impotant thing is the enclosed or concealed cog type. These types help to ensure that nothing will get stuck in the cogs stoping the wing movement. Products change all the time and it looks like these two: Oneida Barware Wing Corkscrew & Home Hero Wine Opener both have the enclosed cog type. Just be careful since those brands might have more than one design and those models may have the exposed cogs. I hope that helps.
OMG! Excellent tutorial! I so want to make this! But wow that motor is expensive! And do you have a link for the raven? I can't seem to find one that comes apart with screws like that.
Thanks RayneStorm. These look very similar, if not identical. Thanks for asking. www.walmart.com/ip/Creepy-Raven-Skeleton-Decoration/638430691
Hi Saul! I am attempting to make this raven and unfortunately while the part # is the same, the actual raven is now different at the store. Do you have another raven you can recommend I buy to make this prop? Thanks for your help! Love your videos!
Hi Kacy, so sorry that I did not see your comment and question sooner, my apologies. Yes, unfortunately products and suppliers change from year to year and Covid did not help! Here are two links that I found that look to be the same raven that I used (others look similar but are not the same ... it can be tricky). Hope this helps:

Great job-- where did you find that size compression spring? I've located it on the Hillman website, but can't seem to find anyone who carries it. All of the gauges in HD and ACE are much thicker.
Hi katiebugbows. I found it at an Ace hardware store here in Sacramento CA. emigh.com You need to look at where the specialty hardware is in the small pull out drawers or go online and look up the spring company that is listed on the package cover of the spring in the video. If you find something similar yet slightly smaller in diameter (but still larger in dia. then the corkscrew neck) that could work too. Hope that helps.
I realize that your post is kinda old, but , if you haven't solved your spring needs, I used the spring from inside a $2.00 rainbird pop-up sprinkler head that I got at HomeDepot.
@@stebstebanesier6205 do you remember which one by chance?
Hi - Having issues with black light paint smearing /not sticking to perch - did you spray prime the whole thing first?
Black light paints come in a varriety of qualities and are not always easy to work with. I did not prime the perch because it was already white. A white under color can help keep the black light paint colors vivid. Depending on the black light paint that you use, a flat white primer/sealer might be helpful. I always paint the entire subject with two coats of my black light base color, then once thoroughly dry, I add the highlight color (on raised areas) and the shadow color (on the recessed). I hope that is helpful Brad.
How do you come up with these ideas? I love this kinda stuff
Hi Matthew. I have always been intrigued with gadgets and gizmos (and Disney), constantly thinking to myself "Thats cool, but what could I turn it into". Thanks for watching.
No problem. Watching people build stuff, there’s just something cool about it
Having a heck of a time trying to find this spring. Any suggestions?
Hi Kevin, here is one source for the #156 Compression Spring, 29/32 in. (Diam) x 2-11/16 in. (L) www.citymill.com/156-compression-spring-29-32-in-diam-x-2-11-16-in-l This is also a source from the company that makes them shop.hillmangroup.com/ccrz__ProductList?categoryId=a0K4W00000ZiHUzUAN&cclcl=en_US I hope that is helpful.
Hi Saul! I found the raven using the product number but the actual raven product has changed (smaller) and won’t work. Is there another raven you recommend I purchase? Thank you!
Hi Kevin. Yes, you need one that is around 16"x16", the ones listed are more around 11"x11". I would contact both AMI Ventures Inc & BlockBuster Costumes, LLC which are suppliers for WallMart (I purchased mine at Target ... but products change) to see if they will be stocking more of the larger ones any time soon or around Halloween. Covid has done a number on shipping and supplies, fingers crossed that this product will resurface again once we get closer to Halloween. I will keep my eyes peeled and please let me know if you have any success in finding the larger version. Thanks for reaching out, sorry that I could not be of more help.
A small problem. The wing corkscrew you show is only available at Rite-Aid. Rite-Aid stores are not in all states, such as my state.
However they do ship and members price is only $3.99 www.riteaid.com/shop/sunbeam-wing-corkscrew-0334520
I love your video's! This is just so clever, using a corkscrew! I was wondering if you happen to know a cheaper alternative for the motor? I live in The Netherlands and shippingcosts would be about as much as the costs of the motor itself.
Hi Lizz, I have had the pleasure of visiting you beautiful country a couple of times. My best advice to you is because the High Torque Prop Motor is actually an automobile windshield wiper motor, see if those are available in your country. Order the PicoVolt Motor Controller and the 12v-5amp Power Supply (you will need to use the appropriate converter for use in the EU) since those are very lightweight and hopefully will cut down on the shipping expense. Thanks for asking!
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms Thank you! So nice to hear you enjoyed our country!
Do you know if there is also an alternative to the PicoVolt controller? We do have windshieldwipers so that should work out fine :D !
@@Lizzerd88 I would reach out to the people at Fright Props and see if they can help you with that question @ www.frightprops.com/contacts Let me know how things turn out.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms Would you mind sharing the size of the raven? I orded two but they are way too small 😅 Thanks!
@@Lizzerd88 Sure, here is the info: 10.5" H x 12" W x 10" D. I see that both Target and Walmart have them online by Hyde & EEK!
I can find all materials except that corkscrew. Apparently it is no longer made. Any replacements?
Hi Kat. Unfortunately product design and availability is constantly changing. Here is one from Walmart where the cogs at the shoulders are not exposed and might be a good substitute: www.walmart.com/ip/Craft-Kitchen-Heavy-Duty-Wing-Corkscrew-with-Black-Body-and-Stainless-Steel-Satin-Finish/189092371?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0 I hope that helps and thanks for watching.

Here's a link to the same wine opener used in the video. My local rite aid had one in stock.
Thanks Nick for sourcing this and letting people know where they can find one!
Love your videos, but wish that your shopping lists weren’t so pricey.
Me too! I try to keep many of the items that I call out available at local hardware, craft and thrift stores. You can thank inflation for the cost of things, which is beyond my control.
Can you share paint colors used on perch for black light.
Choose a red paint and a green paint, or yellow paint and purple paint, or blue paint and orange paint. Typically complimentary colors when mixed will create brown... pigments and proportions will be different from paint brand to brand. Once you have the base color that you like save out two portions of it and mix yellow with one, for the lighter highlight and typically the darker cool color (blue, purple, green but sometimes a deep red) for the darker shadow or lowlight color. I hope that helps.
So you combined black light paint colors to make brown correct and for the raised portion the distressed which combination do you recommend
@@4602118 The color combo for brown works also for black light paints (proportions will vary). The highlight color (lighter than the base color) is for the raised portions. Yellow will typically lighten the base color.
I really wanted to make this, can not find the 16" Raven. So sad
Halloween merchandise is constantly changing from year to year, it is hard to keep up. Please find below two possible resources for this raven skeleton. They look the same and the measurements are similar (exactly where and how they measure it will vary from source to source). Thanks Joe for your interest and please let me know if you have success with finding one.

Has anyone had success building this with the smaller 11" raven or been able to track down the 16" raven?
I can't find it either, only the 10"
About how much does this project will cost?
Well the most expensive is the motor and depending on the package, up to $170 for it. The raven skeleton was $14, all of the additional odds and ends come in at about $50 -$60 depending on what items you may already have.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms ok. Thanks
Hell what a bunch of imperial measurements. I'm absolutely lost. Maybe you can add the metric measurements im future videos (even if you only write them). There are only 3 Countrys in the world which use imperial so it's hard for a lot more people.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I would suggest purchasing a tape measure with both imperial and metric measurement printed on the same side of the tape. This will provide a quick visual of the conversion for you. All the best.
When are americans going to learn that the 'Whole Of The Rest Of The World' uses the Metric System.
I attended public schools where I learned all about the Metric System, however our system of measure and Halloween are unique to America. There are conversion tables available.
When is the 'Whole Of The Rest Of The World' going to learn that americans don't care (jk). BTW apologizes to the entire world for the orange haired, spray tanned idiot that calls himself "President".
