- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2022
- Here’s a DIY Max Mayfield from the Stranger Things scene at the cemetery where she was controlled by Vecna. Easy to do and a great addition. I would like it a little higher in the air but this will work.
I used 5 pool noodles total and bailing wire for the body structure along with stuffing, plastic wrap and tape. Thanks for checking out the channel!

A possible addition would be a motor attached to one end of the OH line allowing Max to ascend and descend
This is perfect timing. I have all the stuff but didn’t know I was going to execute it. Thank you!
Awesome execution bro! Just letting you know, Bill is short for William, so I'm guessing Billy came from a shortening of William 😀
So what is Will Short for?
William.
William:
Bill
Billy
Will
Willy
Liam
😊😊
Yup! Will, Willy, Willie, Bill, Billy and Billie I thought everybody knew that.....🤔 Also........"Liam" is used by the Irish for William. In most cultures grave stones are labeled according to the deceased's proper given name.
The paint on the shoes! WOW! As a parent who drives by and have my kids ooo and aaaah at the cool houses.. thank you for all you do!
Thank you! I hope you have a great Halloween 🎃👻👻👻🎃
Dude….that is freaking awesome!! Little tiny details are nothing. This is like mind blowing epic. Great job!
Thanks!!!! Have an Awesome Halloween 👻
One of the most interesting Halloween props
Great video! Can’t wait to do this for Halloween
Thank you soooo much for this video!!! 🙏🏼 This is going to help me so much for Halloween! 🔥
Wow! So creative and different!!
Thank you for this! I've been wrecking my brain trying to figure this out.
I used 5 pool noodles and bailing wire for the frame.
Well done 👍! Thanks for the share.
Looks great! Might consider Scotchguard spray to repel water on the all the different materials to help them repel water. I would imagine that if it were applied correctly it would hold up through at least this Halloween. Don’t know if it would have an adverse reaction with paints. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, that actually sounds like a good idea and I think I’ll try that out. Have a great Halloween 🎃👻🧙♀️🧟♂️
Fantastic! So well done!
Thank you🎃🎃🎃🎃. Have a great Halloween 👻
This came out awesome
Yes I know how the name William and Billy works!!!!!! If you watch the scene it reads Billy, then when Max is lifted up it reads William.
Lol I was about to say!
Wow!! Great work all around!
Thanks! Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃
Wow you’re attention to detail was amazing.
I definitely thought this was Wanda at first…#avengers love it
Wanda would have been awesome also! Have a Happy Halloween 🎃
Great job man, I'm looking to build a floating Max and a Vecna as well
Awesome, I hope it comes out great!!!🎃🎃🎃🎃
Looks freaking awesome!
Thanks, Have a Happy Halloween 🎃👻
Literally DYING looking at the Halloween decorations!! I’d like to know how many people wreck looking at it… 😂😂😂 Great Job 🥳🎊🎉
So, is it just hanging up by a fishing string? Pretty cool
Yes sir it is. Have a Happy Halloween 🎃🎃👻
This was so cool you did such a great job! Thanks for sharing with us your cool idea!!!
Thank You, Have a great Halloween!!
Bro!! That's Awesome!! Amazing job!! I think I'll prepare my tools better for next year cuz you put them to shame lol. Great job!
Thanks! I re started decorating today since the hurricane and all the wind is past. Have an awesome Halloween 🎃
@@MonsterMike816 you do the safe friend and be safe
Wow this is super creepy! Fantastic work dude
Wish I had one of myself hovering in my yard for the neighbors who hate me to see!
Wish I had such fun neighbors 😮
Good job!!!!!!
Thanks! Have a Happy Halloween 🎃
Awesome! Can you please tell me, because it wasn't really clear on the video, where you run the fishing line, and how you keep her from sliding back and forth on the line?
Many thanks
Thanks for watching! In the video at 13:36 I show the tree and light pole that I ran the line between but it’s brief. On Max I ran line under her shoulders on both sides. I used a ladder to get up to the line between the tree and pole and then tied the two loops from max around that long line. That’s all I did and she barely moved from her spot for almost a month. When she did move I just used a broom to push her back in place. Happy halfway to Halloween!!🎃🎃
Wow.
Great Halloween diy prop dude.
Thank you!!!
@@MonsterMike816 Cait wait to see what else your going to possibly make.
@@amazon4716 I have a bunch more coming!!!
awesome 👏🏻
Sweet---Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your welcome. Happy Halloween 🎃

Thanks man! I hope you have a Happy Halloween 🎃🎃👻🧟♂️🧙♀️
So cool! Great job!
Thanks! Have a Happy Halloween 🎃🎃
Looks good
Thanks! Happy Halloween 🎃
You are the man
Great job. Quick question where did you get the head, and how did you attach it? Thx
Thanks for checking out my channel. I got the head from Michaels and I used red vinyl tape to attach it. I just wrapped all around the neck to the torso.
Love it!
AMAZING WORK! 🥰
Thank you
look very fake, so...
Doesn't look good - it LOOKS GREAT!!!! thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks! Have a Happy Halloween 🎃
Awesome
Cool
Thanks! Happy Halloween 🎃
Nice
Dude... This is going to blow up real fast! 👏👏👏
I have something even cooler coming as soon as this Hurricane passes.
Thank you! We added a clothing line tensioner which allowed me to raise her higher (ours is now only about 4 feet off the ground) but it also prevents her from sliding the n the line since it’s inside her jacket. Thanks for the inspirational video!
That’s a great idea! Happy Halloween 🎃, I hope it’s a great one!
Wait...I just noticed when you posted this. So, you were first? That couple in Plainfield ripped you off?? DUDE! 😯 I'd be so mad!
That would be cool if I was the first but I wasn’t the first to ever think of this. I just thought it would be a cool prop for my yard display and wanted to share how to do it so everyone else could do the same. I can’t be mad that people are decorating for Halloween because I love seeing spooky yard setups 🎃🎃. Have a great Halloween 🎃👻
Looks great man. Hope it's not too windy over there... that'd be the only thing to worry about
Thank you! It’s not to bad on the wind, I took it down for the hurricane to pass but it’s been okay since then. Have a Happy Halloween 🎃👻🧟♂️🧙♀️
One question how did you attach the head to the body?? Its the only thing I'm struggling with
I just sat the head on top of the shoulders, got a roll of red vinyl tape and just wrapped it all around the base of the neck to the pool noodles. I just went back and forth a bunch of times until I couldn’t shake it off.
Thank you I will try it!
@@shelleyvice248 It’s super easy, good luck and have a Happy Halloween 🎃!
You brilliant young man 👏🏾
Thank you, have a Happy Halloween 🎃
How many pool noodles did you use and what kind of wire did you use for the body frame and arms?
I used a total of 5, I just used bailing wire stuffed through the pool noodles.
Also curious how long did you make the legs and What size jacket and jeans did you use?
@@chriseuart4241 I used jeans from the small woman’s section at Goodwill, not sure the actual size but I just went for a small Freshman girl look, the jacket is a small and I actually stapled the sides in more to give a slimmer look. The legs are a full pool noodle but they were adjusted to fit the pant lengthand into the shoes all the way to the toe, then I just put the remaining amount up into the torso. So whatever length pants you have and into the shoes so the legs look good, then just put the rest up in the torso so you have a good amount to secure everything.
How did you keep the pants from falling?
I zip tied them. I put the zip ties through the belt loops and then around the torso frame. Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃
looks good man. where did you put the fishing line through? the head or body?
Through the body, somewhere around 13 min in the video.
Nice job. Interested on how you did connect it to the main line, which was suspended between the poles. How did you stop it from sliding along that line?
I just tied the two lines I stuck through the body to the line across. I have the line pretty level so it doesn’t move much at all, when it does I just use a broom to push it back. Have a Happy Halloween 🎃
Awesome 👍
Thank You!
How did you get it to float though? Where did you hid the stand or string.
Just about 13 minutes in the video shows the line through.
How’d you wrap the string around max? Or does she have a hook?
It’s around 13 min in the video, I just went through the torso just below the shoulders.
Thanks for this video bro!!!
Thank you, Have a great Halloween 🎃
So you ran one main line between the pole and tree and then hung Max with the two lines from the shoulders onto that main line?
Yes sir
How did you attach the head to the body?
I stuck bailing wire into the pool noodle chest frame and left it sticking out about 5” and stuck the head into that with hot glue. Then I used red vinyl tape all around the neck securing to the chest.
And how long in total did it take you to make this? (Start to finish)
This only took a couple of hours in total, if I did it again I’d just buy the jacket to save on paint and wait time.
Does the line sag at all after hanging her. I tried to tie my to the roof and then a window straight across and the weight of her is to much for me to get her high? Maybe I need to have the fishing wire go from high to low?
Yes mine sag’s, I used gloves and pulled the super tight and it helped tremendously
Was that a mistake? Bill is a Nickname for William. So Billy. It makes sense to me.
In the scene it reads Billy, then when it cuts back it reeds William.
How did you get the wires through? You said where you put them, but now how
I used a small pick to make a hole in each side of the shirt, then slid the line through.
@@MonsterMike816 Thank you!!!
Put a stick on the fishing line and twist it like a tourniquet. It will tighten up the line and raise her up higher. Great job tho man!
Can you tell me what kind of glue u used for the wig and headphones?? Thanks so much
I used Hot glue, Gorilla brand.
So how did they make it look like it was floating?
75lb Fishing line!!!!
Looks awesome! How did you keep the shoes on her?
Thanks. I just tied the laces really tight. Happy Halloween 🎃👻
@@MonsterMike816 oh I see! What about the head?
@@bobbilariccia9537 I used red vinyl tape to secure the head, I went around and around a bunch of times.
What did you use for the head and face?
A plain manikin head from Michaels, then painted the face with acrylic paint.
This is The Best Idea Wow ! Would love to see it ! Way way cool to post how you did it also ! #️⃣1️⃣
Thank you! Have a Happy Halloween 🎃🎃
100lbs braid or mono fishing line to hold the weigh? fantastic idea
I actually used 75lb fishing line
I know how it's done lol good work
At work I have a pumpkin competition and I think ima try to do this 🤣 the pumpkin might be too heavy to hold but we will see. Lol
Can you use the foam pumpkin? Good luck and happy Halloween 🎃🎃
How did you make it float???
75lb fishing line
I don’t understand how you did the fishing line through her body. Seems like the line runs down her arms. Can you give some detail. I have my max built just don’t know how to get her in the air. I have 100lb line.
I ran my line from a tree to a light pole. On Max I ran two lines through the body that go in the chest and out the back, those are on each side of the head and they go through the body just under the shoulder part of the frame. I used a tall step ladder to tie each line going through the body to the line I have across my yard.
@@MonsterMike816 thanks so much! Can’t wait to get mine up.
@@charlenemaroni5708 have a Happy Halloween 🎃👻🧟♂️🧙♀️
William would be his given name. Bill or Billy is short for William.
Yes I know this as my Dads name is William. If you watch the scene, in the first part the stone says Billy and when she lifts up it says William.
You did such a good job and gave me an ideaaa ! I have a question tho , where did you get Billy's tombstone and was this hard to do ?
Thank you and I’m sure yours will be awesome! For the tombstones in my display I use the pink foam board from Home Depot mostly. The one in this video happens to be some foam I saved from when I got a new washing machine.
I found your video. I mad a max prop. Luckily I found red vans at a thrift store and I found a realistic mannequin head that looked like max that's used for hair cosmetology for $8.
That’s Awesome! Have a Happy Halloween 🎃
I can't hide the fishing line, it shows no matter what I do, how do you minimize the line showing?
Mine shows during the day, the only way to hide it better is to minimize the light on it or shorten the distance if possible, maybe black paint.
@@MonsterMike816 during the Vietnam war soldiers on both side would camo their trip lines or use distraction to make ppl look the other way as they set off the trip wire.
How did you hang it?
75lb fishing line
Where did you tie the fishing line ?
I tied two lines through the shoulders ( 1 on each side) I tied the hanging line from the tree to the light pole then hooked the lines going through max to that.
Coulda showed the hanging part 🤔 and what kind of wire did you use ?
Yea I guess I could have but I figured climbing a ladder tying a knot was pretty self explanatory. As far as the 75lb fishing line, I explain that I. The video and the description has a link so anyone can see it and go directly to it and order. Have a Happy Halloween
@@MonsterMike816 oh I guess I missed the part about the 75# line ...and sorry if I offended you...but your the one who made a tutorial on how to make a FLOATING prop and left off the FLOATING part! I mean making a dummy is pretty self explanatory as well....I just would have liked to have seen how you hung her...that's why I came not the pool noodle dummy part...I'm sure I can figure it out as well...I was just making a comment it is RUclips 🤷..sorry...the prop is very cool and the painting of the shoes was nice 👍 good job thanks for the video.
How did you attach her head?
Bailing wire, hot glue and red vinyl tape
I'm sorry can you explain more, I can't quite wrap my head around it..literally lol? Thanks
@@sharidavis9295 I just stuck a wire through the frame going up and then stuck the head on that. Then I used red vinyl tape and just wrapped it all around the base of the neck and the upper chest frame.
very cool bro, just shorten her fingers they seem long
They are a little long but I’m on to building a UFO prop now 👽. Happy Halloween 🎃!
How did you tie it around the pole and such without it sliding or loosening?? Thank you so much for this video can’t wait to try!!!
So I tied it around the tree with several knots then at the light pole I used a pulley. I went to the pulley then down and just wrapped around the pole several times and tied a knot. If you know a fisherman they could show you some good knots for fishing line, if not I bet there is a bunch on YT. Have a Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃
@@MonsterMike816 thank you so much ! Yes was watching some fishing knots with 70lb wire. Just wasn’t sure if it would slide. That’s great to know thank you so much!
@@briannae6306 your welcome! It might slide, but mine hasn’t moved more than a foot in over two weeks and I just use a broom to push her back. Good luck and I hope it turns out spectacular.
Can you tell me how to attach the hands? I can't figure it out
I cut a slit in the end of the pool noodle about 1” deep. Then put the hand inside the slit and use tape, wrap the tape all around making sure to overlap on the hand and the pool noodle at the wrist area several times. Then I used a zip tie around the wrist area to secure even more. Hopefully this helps, let me know if not. Have a Happy Halloween 🎃
@@MonsterMike816 thank you so much for all the info..its helpful and I so appreciate it
Dope
Thanks! Have a Happy Halloween 👻
I knew it has a string. A good hard to see string
100lb fishing line.
Did this people in Illinois copy your spooky Stranger Things creation??
No, people mentioned this to me but I checked them out and they actually did it better than me. Looks like they bought the lightweight costume and they are using helium. Very cool I thought. I have had a lot of people say I copied them and they copied me but it really doesn’t matter to me because as long as people are decorating I think it’s great and when you think about it, thousands of people have the same decorations anyway. Have a Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️👻👻🧙♀️
Billy is a nickname for William
Yes it is.
13:07
I think he was joking about the Billy William headstone snafu... Least I hope it was a joke.
I can make this in a game engine.
okay but how did you make it float? 😂❤
It’s in the video, I used high test fishing line between a tree and a light pole.
@@MonsterMike816 Oh thank you ❤️
why does it look like a weird filter is on?
Couldn’t tell you that, I don’t use any filters. Just normal recording on my IPhone.
It wasn't a filter skin tone was blown out by overexposure
Are you the one that was on the news?
No I wasn’t, there is several hundred of them out there so I’m not sure the one you’re talking about but no news this way.
@@MonsterMike816 OH, you did an awesome job
TTY
Bro is your house the one on the news? Did a neighbor complain about this.
No, that’s a different house.
you have a couple givens. nothing can levitate and the object is clearly hanging from strings or cords. but they are not visible that is because they used light test monofilament fishing line. that is why you arent allowed to get close or look up above. not to spoil it for people but its well known its fishing line
Well that’s certainly not a spoiler for anyone because I show that in the video and describe it, that’s why it’s a tutorial.
@@MonsterMike816 great reply..and does it have to be perfect..no im gonna do this and mine won't be..im sure. Thanks so much for showing ppl. Happy Halloween
@@sharidavis9295 thank you! I hope it turns out Awesome and have a Happy Halloween 🎃🎃
U skipped the most important diy info lmao
What information did I skip?
