I worked on a horror film trailer back in the ’80s, yes I’m old, and to make the cob webs, I took an old coffee can, put a bolt through the bottom so it could get attached to a hand drill. Put some contact cement in the can and turned on the drill. Cob webs went flying. Then yes, dusted with fullers earth. You brought back memories, thanks!
Back in the 80s, l cut Beacon bridal cement (I forget the real name, I switched to Alene’s Jewel-lt, because it’s water based) with acetone, and ran it through the cheapest Badger airbrush…l got spider webs, but what I wanted was thinly dispensed glue!
We were shooting a no-budget commercial for a haunted house in the mid 2000's.. I had four cheap fog machines, some ice cream buckets, and wire mesh, and were able to make a spooky cemetery that blew the minds of the TV and cable stations. Almost started a career with that one.
I like the idea of putting the ice bottles inside the vent. The one I built 20 years ago used a storage bin that I would fill with ice - similar to the cooler but way cheaper. I can eliminate that bin and I don’t have to go buy bags of ice. Thanks for the tip.
use two storage bins, one slightly smaller than the first, put a piece of foam in the bottom of bin 1 then set bin 2 on top of the piece of foam, centered, fill the gap between the two with expanding spray foam, insulated cooler :)
I'll never stop being amazed by all the cool things you teach us about how they get certain effects on screen. Thank you for showing us this behind the curtain look.
@@ScottPropandRoll yes sir! Thank you! I watch a lot of RUclips but I absolutely love movies and I’m so obsessed with BTS and props. Ever since I was little, I’ve always been watching for them/movie mistakes. I’m stoked on the like/comment from you! It really props up my mood!
I love the DIY Tube of Death, that is amazing. I think this might also work using a perforated pipe like you would normally bury for a french drain, would also be easier to conceal if you were trying to get this same effect in a yard or wooded area :)
For the tubing I think it would be easier to just go to a local carpet business and see if you can buy a length of carpet storage tubing (sometimes called lay-flat tubing, sorage tubing, poly tube or carpet wrap. comes in various weights/thicknesses and sizes). Or just buy it in bulk if you're going to do it more often. Then you don't have the faff of trying to tape a large sheet yourself.
I had a web caster for a while years ago. It did a fantastic job of making the stairway to my apartment too uninviting for my landlord to ever visit. 😂
Great info and demonstrations. There are some differences between what you can do on a movie set and what you can do in a haunted house open to trick-or-treaters or the public. Hot glue webs from a web caster are generally fine in a haunt. The rubber cement ones, however, are quite flammable, so they should not be used in a haunt. I hadn't seen ones that use contact cement before, but I suspect they're flammable like the rubber cement ones. It's one thing to chill your fog a little to get it to lay low for a minute or two indoors. But if you want low-lying fog for the Halloween cemetery in your front yard, the colder the better. Anything you can do to protect it from even slight breezes will help. Humidity helps, too. If you live in a warmer area, watering the yard a little at sunset can cool the ground and provide more moisture. The most impressive DIY fog chillers are Roberts Chillers. They use an ultrasonic humidifier (like pond mister) in a box instead of (or in addition to) ice. The mist is very effective at cooling the fog and provides excess available moisture which allows formation of heavier droplets that tend to stay low. Finally, some of the "fog juice" suppliers have special formulations that produce slightly larger and heavy particles than the party store stuff. The Tube of Death is neat. Haunters commonly use the perforated French drain pipes for a similar, smaller scale distribution. On a film shoot, is it common to use a fog machine? I would have expected an oil-based hazer to catch those light beams through the trees.
A tip for cooling smoke. *don't* seal the fog machine to the cooling tube. The fog machine technically doesn't make fog, it just boils the fog fluid into an invisible gas. As soon as this gas comes in contact with the cooler ambient air (at the nozzle of the fogger) it instantly turns into super fine droplets -> fog. If you seal the machine to the cooler the gas will just condensate on the cooling medium (frozen bottles, ice etc.) and basically nothing exits the cooling appparatus. You can get very thick, cool smoke if you chill the air before it mixes with the gas.
❤❤❤ I was doing this stuff when i was a young teen and my parents told me it was a waste of time and resources to think of and build such stupid things…im 40 and work fast food…
I posted a short about the exact same process for webbing (with a glue gun and compressed air), and some guy fighting me on it. Glad to know that is still used! Also, live the super low budget fog cooler. That is brilliant!
Great timing! I have seen the tube of death in the past somewhere and I didn't know what it was called. I was searching for it earlier this week. Thanks for posting! 💥BOOM!!!💥™
Interesting. I've been using 3M spray adhesive for years on various things. I initially learned about it when I was taught to felt pool tables in college. Now I want to try and see what kind of webbing I might be able to make. It comes in different strengths with different properties and nozzles.
Awesome. We do a haunted yard Halloween night and I hate how the fog rises and ruins the effect. I'm definitely doing the dryer hose/frozen bottle trick.
Hey, Scott! I was watching a show and noticed an actor take some 💊 which immediately made me think of you. Could you explain what actors are really taking on TV/movies? Also, I have always wanted to get in the prop business but I don't have any experience or know anyone in the business. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the amazing work.
I wonder what the Tube of Death would be like with a fan and fog machine at each end. Would it equalize the pressure, or would it make everything wonky?
Is there a way to have fog without a fog machine I live in a trailer It's not a big trailer it's a two bedroom trailer and I just need a little fog in my kitchen and living room which is one open space but I don't have the budget to buy a fog machine because they're expensive

I bet many of your viewers wondered how they did these effects but didn't have the foggiest idea. Thanks for clearing it up.
Smoke and MIRRORS. Where are the MIRRORS!
Maybe the mirror was the friends we made along the way?
The mirrors were concealed in the smoke
I love the puns and your special effects skills.
I love the puns, the special effects skills are an added bonus😆

We need a movie about a prop guy, so the prop guys can make prop props.
Excellent tutorial thank you Prop Master.😊
My favorite channel on RUclips.
Thank you!!

5:45 de-mist-ifyed. I see what you did there.
As somebody who's making my first short film this month for a contest, this could not have come at a better time.
You really have the coolest job ever!

Feed the RUclips algorithm with a comment. Great video. Thank you!
This was such a great watch to wind down my evening. Much love Scott!!
Like and comment for the algorithm so more people see this!! Love it!!
I'm so glad you made this channel, so fun to watch
I friggin love this channel
Love this channel. I got my nieces and nephews watching your channel too. Cheers Scott 🍻

Do you have a moment? I'm a little foggy on the details....
😁
This is awesome, thanks for the ideas and tips!! 🙂

I would love some deeper dives into testing. Especially webs. I would love something that was recyclable, for instance 🥺

Hey Scott...Props on the Hitchcock reference.

Damn, this was great! More vids like this please!
I love this kind of stuff
This is great! Thank you so much for the tips!
“Well…if you ever don’t tidy up and declutter…you could just go for the real dust and cobwebs…”
Definitely needs to make a Tube of Death!
This was great loved it!
Haha, love the intro. Most of these kids today won't catch that reference.
Splendid 👍👍

What an intro 😎
“Props’ 😂to that intro it was epic
Excellent work 👏🏼👏🏼🎃👻💀
I want you to collaborate with Corridor Digital so bad. 😂
I approve the web 🕷️🕸️
4:16 low tire air pressure? Very cool video as always, Scott.
amazing
Awesome 👌
I LOVE your channel ❤
I love the Dollar General Tales from the Crypt music. I would love to see a video on fake blood recipes.
0:35 Don't put that stuff in your hair anybody!
3:05 is that the old rooster teeth production studio looks like hes standing infront of the bungaloo
That’s my current office for the show I’m on.
@@ScottPropandRoll its cool to see stage 5 again
Cool!
Verrrry cool!
good stuff
That is so cool!!
45 nice and 4th comment
That one stretch is like $237 in gaff tape.
LMAO!!!
I called my webmaster and he said "mmmph mphmnnnlk" because he forgot to cut a hole in the mask.
I have some plastic tube that is for temporary drain pipes. I am going to try this.
epic!
I am mystified.
Could you use the dryer hose with holes cut in it to make a smaller tube of death?
Awesome. We do a haunted yard Halloween night and I hate how the fog rises and ruins the effect. I'm definitely doing the dryer hose/frozen bottle trick.
Tails from the crypt.. 😂
I mist your content. You almost spooked me.
DUSTER!! Smart
Nice!!!
Tube of death at night with lights on it please!
Thanks Scott and Mark. That was very interesting, Is the silver van a prop? It has at least 2 flat tires.

How hard is getting that spray glue off going to be? I'm guessing it'll stick with you for a while.
If they shoot a scene of a movie being filmed does it get confusing where the actual set begins?
Are there any interesting radiation/radioactive props you've used? Glowing radioactive material, geiger counters, etc?
Love the channel by the way!
Do you have to warn the fire department before you do those outdoor tests?
I wonder what the Tube of Death would be like with a fan and fog machine at each end. Would it equalize the pressure, or would it make everything wonky?
Can you clean the aerosol glue off of objects?
I just wanted to let you know that I have notifications turned on for your channel and never got a notification for this video
I'm curious -- how do you clean off the cobwebs made from glue if you need to reuse the prop for less dusty, web-covered things in the future?

Stop playing music while you're talking
Stop being rude and demanding.

It could be suggested in a more polite way, but still has a point. The music was quite distracting.
