UK haunter here, thank you all these great video tutorials. Excellent instructions 👍🏻. It’s more difficult to get great Halloween props in the UK, the market isn’t as big as the USA. So videos like this really help 👍🏻
Thanks CFAO... sometime life gets in the way. I am obviously really late this year but still hope to have a How-To video out before the end of August. Perhaps one of two more in September, if things go according to plan. Thanks for your continued support and interest.
Hate snakes with a passion but love the Halloween prop here - very creepy. The directions are so clear and precise that I think anyone could build the prop. Can’t wait to see what you have next in store for us.
Oh Halloween is officially coming! Awesome tutorial man! Those wooden snakes takes me back. What a great idea. I think you are officially the “shiatsu massager prop master” 🙌 your creative ideas blow me away. How do you not work at Disney?! Thanks for another awesome tutorial! Hope your Summer has been great!
Thanks K&T! What would we haunters do without those shiatsu massagers? By the way, many moons ago I drove the Monorail at Disneyland as an attractions host ... back when that concession was still owned by RETLAW, now there is some Disney trivia!
HALLOWEEN HOW-TO by Saul Films Ah so you got to be very familiar with all the behind the scenes Magic! Never ceases to amaze me how many people are in some way connected to the Disney parks and magic behind them! (My great Aunt and Uncle designed and built the EPCOT Musical Fountain a lifetime ago) Thanks for another great tutorial! Yours are seriously the best.
I really enjoy your tutorials; they inspire me -- Your tutorials are among the best tutorials I've seen on RUclips, and done with such high-production quality that makes them so awesome... For many years I'd prefer to DIY my own props and it's not always easy to come up with solutions. What I like about all of your prop designs is the simplicity of the design and how effective they are at creating the effects with them.
You are amazingly talented and your instructions are so well explained. Love all your videos, Still waiting to see how you made your animated cake with the mouse in it...lol. You’re awesome 🤗❤️
I’ve been waiting for these Awesome tutorials all summer! I’m glad they are back and I hope that there is more to come! Currently working on my Phantom Manor Haunt Props too!
Hey Tristan, we will try to get a few more out before Halloween. We love Phantom Manor and are happy to see that it has recently been refurbished. All the best with your props!
Hey Steve, great idea however sometimes less is more. How about animating the partially opened lid, then add a mini fogger, flickering blue light and some eerie sound effects emanating from within the coffin? Have some shredding pieces of material hanging inside the coffin lid to partially obscure its contents ...leave that to the imagination of the viewer.
So excited to see a new video!!! I’m a big fan of your meticulous instructions and quality content! Keep up the excellent work! I’ve been waiting all summer to get started on Halloween projects for this year. I love that all my fellow Haunters are gearing up as well! Happy haunting everyone! 👻
I accidentally bought a shiatsu massager that spins 360° (like 2 rotisserie motors) rather than the movement of the one in this video. I already bought everything and I’m trying to figure out a way to use the massager I got. Any thoughts?
Well, right off the bat I must say that your 'Cinematography Reel 2022' is beautiful! Sorry that you purchased the wrong massager, without seeing it in opperation it is hard for me to direct you on how or even if it can be used for this prop. My suggestion is to look at some "online" garage sales in your area for the correct massager at a discounted price. The correct massage is key to starting off on the right foot .
Thank you for the tutorial! We had a vegetables attack theme and I made some spooky asparagus (covered the snake head) inside a "top secret" box. It creeped everyone out, it was great!
Excellent! As a theatre professional, I appreciate your diction and vocal work. As a Halloween enthusiast, I appreciate your ingenuity. This particular piece could easily be adapted to an octopus or Dalek mutant. Kudos!
Hi JPFerraccio, as a kid I suffered with everything from dyslexia (they had no word for it back then) to speech impediments, so your kind compliments mean a great deal. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You are so incredibly talented. The soft tone of your voice and slower explanations make it so much easier to understand and you NEVER rush through any tutorials that I've enjoyed watching and listening to yet. Please continue to amaze us all with your spooky and great talents. Thank you for sharing - maine girl
Very interesting. I would do the same with magic tricks, when you find out how they are done it is almost always not how you think. Thanks for watching and for commenting Heather.
Yahoo! So glad to see you posting new projects Paul! Who knew you could do so many fun animations with old electric massagers! I am telling all my fellow Halloween enthusiasts about your channel - give this man more subs!!
Thanks for asking jeanna pack. I found mine at a local hardware store but you can also check out commercial office furniture, industrial supply or online, such as Grainger: www.grainger.com/category/material-handling/casters-and-wheels/casters/stem-casters
I love this! I'm making this and have ordered snakes and a used massage machine. I have all of the other stuff but can you tell me what store you found the trunk? I haven't found one with the curved top similar to a treasure chest. I can make one but buying it would be much easier. Thanks in advance and I love your channel!
Hey Robert, thanks so much for the nice compliments and for asking about the cardboard trunk. I actually purchased the cardboard trunk from Hobby Lobby a few years back. It looked a lot different when I first purchased it, so keep your eyes peeled for a "pretty" one and then age it. Merchandise selection changes, so there is no guarantee that they still carry them ... but they must be out there somewhere.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms Thank you, I see one that is similar at Michaels but need to wait until my massager arrives to see if it will fit. I'm trying to stay Covid "unbored" so making my own custom trunk is my backup plan!
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms I'm so gonna try to make one. I live in Australia and it's hard to get good Halloween stuff here so time to get creative!!!!! Just hope mine turns out just as cool as urs. Just need to find the neck thing first. 👻💀👻💀👻💀👻
Dude!!! Your videos are always so fantastic!! I’m so excited to try this. I already have the shiatsu and most of the other parts. Just need to get the snakes 🐍 Thank you for always making your videos so easy to follow and understand 🤗
Hello artranchero. I ran mine for several hours on Halloween night and had no problem. I located it on the front porch, so the air was cool and the lid never fully closes, that helps Thanks for asking and watching.
@@HALLOWEENHOWTObySaulFilms HONESTLY some if the best and most informative videos made and I love the level of detail and care in how to do everything.
Ohh by the way that Raven is amazing, only problem with it is that specific model of Raven is superior to the crappy ones I have found on the market,, I did find your Raven and it's 35 bones!! Oh well.
@@raulflores6354 Thanks again, it is always nice when other appreciate the time it takes to put these videos together. Look for a few new videos this summer!!
This is so amazing. You do amazing things.

As always brilliant.
Thanks wrllovemen for the compliment. We appreciate you leaving a comment.
What a great idea! Goes to show those of us who hate to throw anything a way that everything can be repurposed.
Our dad was a product of the depression, so growing up everything was repurposed! Thanks for leaving a comment.
great idea
Thanks for the compliment David. My apologies for not seeing this sooner to reply in a more timely manner.
Fantastic tutorial!!! Chris scared me one time by putting one of those snakes on my side of the bed. I think I jumped 10 feet in the air.
I've been wanting to do a prop with those snakes for years. Thanks Hollywood Haunter!
one of my kids put one in the woodpile and I "killed" it with a shovel before I realized that it was a wood snake
scared the crap out of me
Ohhhhhh yeeeaaah. My favorite season has officially begun.
Happy haunting, everyone!!
Our favorite season too! Thanks for taking the time to comment shade01977.

Thanks Jane, you are very kind! I will try to squeeze in a How-To video for the "Rat-N-Cake" prop before Halloween. Fingers crossed!
Wonderful,! Thank you so much. 🙏🥰

Hey Tristan, we will try to get a few more out before Halloween. We love Phantom Manor and are happy to see that it has recently been refurbished. All the best with your props!
I’m thinking of building a coffin and having either an animated skeleton or rotting body. Any ideas?
Hey Steve, great idea however sometimes less is more. How about animating the partially opened lid, then add a mini fogger, flickering blue light and some eerie sound effects emanating from within the coffin? Have some shredding pieces of material hanging inside the coffin lid to partially obscure its contents ...leave that to the imagination of the viewer.
Can you show us how to make a Changing Portrait, that changes when lightning flashes
Hi Noah, I will put that on my "to do" list for next year.
I've got a massager now! I'm going to reverse it and use the tail end of the snakes as tentacles instead.
Thanks for watching James and for the great idea!
Snakes... Why did it have to be snakes?...
Glad to see more tutorials. These look great!
Thanks Brier Rock Cemetery for watching and commenting!

What a wonderfully thoughtful comment. Thanks Jennifer Adams for taking the time to share that.
I love reading your video titles and trying to guess how you make the prop. I am always pleasantly surprised
Very interesting. I would do the same with magic tricks, when you find out how they are done it is almost always not how you think. Thanks for watching and for commenting Heather.
Love this tutorial! I used the idea to make slithering zombie intestines instead of snakes!
Yikes Stef, that sounds very interesting. I would love to see it in action.
Thank you so much for all your detailed videos! You are ssooo clever! I love watching them and getting inspired!
Thank you Clara Booth, we are thrilled that our videos give you enjoyment and inspiration.
