This is like looking at a movie set! One of my favorite movie cemeteries was in Hellboy and this level of detail and quality could fit right in with this. Stunning work!
I like the design very much! It is the best cemetery wall and entrance I have seen till now. I will try to do something similar... here in Germany such great and awsome Halloween decorations are still not usual. I will try to change this :-)
Thanks again! I’ve seen more and more people decorate in my neighborhood for Halloween and I hope we’ve helped fuel that! Good luck building and ask if you have any questions!
Sick bro! great Job! I'm in Cali and next year I will have columns. This year due to covid I did more of a drive-thru Halloween yard haunt with live actors scaring the trick or treaters. Not the same but still very fun. Also proud to announce I won second best over all entries in my City(Downey Ca.). Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! And that's awesome that you won, good for you! Fortunately, we were able to do our haunt for 3 nights this year with scare actors as well. It helps that it's all outside and most people wore masks anyway. Will have a video out soon of our haunt!
Gday mate, Halloween is not very big in Australia but i was so impressed that I made the gate. Our street is right into it now because of your gates. Cheers mate
You did such an awesome job and motivated me to give it a try, but just making the main 2 columns and perhaps the gate, I started it last week and just about done doing a little bit after work each day. I will share a picture when done. Excellent job explaining everything. I live in South east FL
Wow! That is Hollywood professional! Are you possibly going to do a video this year in 2023 of your yard haunt? Would love to see that! Looks absolutely amazing!
Thank you! I am actually working on a full-scale haunted house at the University of Florida this haunt season and will do my best to get videos out for that!
@@AndrewLong very cool you have moved from home haunt to a much larger scale University haunt-it was bound to happen! I didn't even know they existed! You are probably the first or at least one of the handful to do so. Have fun! Maybe one day you will own your own professional haunt? I'm excited to see some footage!
I was impressed by your 1st video, but this was outstanding. You are very talented. Do you have time to put together any videos on painting techniques for the different types of foam?
@@trentbumgarner2203 great! If you have any questions let me know. I’m not sure if I will be able to put together a tutorial for the sign but I can at least tell you how I made it. I used 1/2” foam insulation board and drew out the shapes I wanted. I cut each individual letter using a dremel with a drill bit attachment and a height guard. I then glued everything together and painted/aged it. I simply spray foamed pvc to the back side of it and that’s how it attaches to the columns.
I am beyond impressed! This is stunning, absolutely love the way this looks. Can I hire you to build me these? Dang.... I will try to build them, but holy cow. You are very talented. So impressed...
So damn good! I have no idea how many hours goes into a set like this, but you should give some thought to selling these if you were able to figure out how to get them safely crated and shipped! I would buy a façade for sure!
Hello there ! Wooooow ! Just a question or two if I may . You did this all on your own ? What was the location of your home there ? State , county ! Sending Greetings from Washington State U.S.A Congratulations to you and your work ,saw your show Last couple years . Good carpentry skills. Beautiful imagination great .
Been watching our CNN ( Cable News Network ) here in Washington State, you guys are really getting hit hard my god with Hurucane Ian I will prey for the people of Florida .
These are amazing! My question.... how do you store these when not displayed the rest of the year? Do you have a big storage space for all your Halloween stuff?
How do you get the cars in and out every day lol. I built the gates last year and the rest I’m currently building. I put it on my grass but I’d love to put it on the driveway it’s bigger more room
Sooo we would park the cars on the road or in front of the gates when we had it fully set up, but we normally waited closer to the event dates hahaha. Would love to see the gates you’ve built! My email is Andrew.tw.long@gmail.com if you want to send photos! Good luck building.
@@AndrewLong I'll be happy to send you a picture from last year's set up. I am adding 2 smaller columns and some more gates for this year, as well as some animatronic skeletons...slowly getting there.
I would probably use both! Once I put a layer of paint over the flexbond it was fine and has been put in the rain. but adding the drylok would make it last even longer.
I am not sure of the exact weight but when they are all put together they are too heavy to be moved by a single person. Each individual section can be carried by one person but are still pretty heavy by themselves. They support their own weight though and can stand on their own and if someone knocks into them there's a very good chance they won't move.
Disney could not have done it any better.
That’s Fantastic!!
Aw thank you so much!!
i love the way your mind works! this is one of the best videos i have seen, that is so well laid out and detailed. Perfection for the quality of work
Another impressive build. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Your brick columns inspired me to make the brick columns I made last year!
This is like looking at a movie set! One of my favorite movie cemeteries was in Hellboy and this level of detail and quality could fit right in with this. Stunning work!
Thank you so much!! I'll have to check out that movie! Planning on building a decrepit church facade for my next project.
@@AndrewLong It was the second movie in the Hellboy series. It was an old Russian cemetery in the snow.
@@howtohaunt ok thanks!
Wow! You're absolutely amazing. This is the coolest thing I've seen all year. Props Master! Excited. Thank you. ⭐
Thank you so much!! Glad you like it!

Very impressed. The detail is amazing!
Thank you!!
Im not usually a fan of using the lighterweight foam, but you made those rocks in the wall look awesome. 👍

Awesome. I will be following your design. Can you do a tutorial on your cemetery arch sign?

Man you do some awesome work
Thank you!!
These are awesome. My question is where do you store it afterwards
Thanks! and we have a storage unit
Damn man this looks great I wish you had measurements written down to offer. I need to remake this for a much larger driveway
Thanks! I list all the measurements in the video, you may just have to write them down. Ask any questions if you need help!
outstanding young man
Thank you!!
Beautiful! What did this cost in the end
Spectacular!
Thanks!!
So damn good! I have no idea how many hours goes into a set like this, but you should give some thought to selling these if you were able to figure out how to get them safely crated and shipped! I would buy a façade for sure!
Again, very nicely done1
Thank you again!
So awesome 👏
Thank you!
Hello there !
Wooooow ! Just a question or two if I may .
You did this all on your own ?
What was the location of your home there ?
State , county !
Sending Greetings from Washington State U.S.A
Congratulations to you and your work ,saw your show
Last couple years . Good carpentry skills.
Beautiful imagination great .
Thank you very much for the kind words!! We are in western Florida by Tampa.
Been watching our CNN ( Cable News Network )
here in Washington State, you guys are really
getting hit hard my god with Hurucane Ian
I will prey for the people of Florida .
@@dannyholmes9775 luckily the hurricane has hit further south than where we do our haunt but it is definitely hitting our state really hard! Thank you
@AndrewLong im surprised at the level of detail work and explanation. What was your overall cost of the entire build?
Thanks! It’s been a while but imma guess it was around 1k.
Over the top goodness!! 🎃
@@ooddities thank you!!
AMAZING 👏 👏👏😃
Thank you!!!
Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

@@seanamos9441 amazing!! Good luck building!!
This is awesome
Thank you!!
What’s better for weather proofing. Flex bond or dry lock?
I would probably use both! Once I put a layer of paint over the flexbond it was fine and has been put in the rain. but adding the drylok would make it last even longer.
Epic!
Thanks!
I would like to build something this year, how long did it take you to build the columns and fencing?
I built these over the summer so it took a couple months to finish. Good luck building and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
man the storage is my only problem with this looks so good
Thanks! And Storage is always a problem! That’s why Halloween should be everyday so we don’t have to store anything!
Where do you store all of these props?
We have an offsite storage unit!
How you made the gates
I made them in part 1, the previous video!
How much does each column weigh?
I am not sure of the exact weight but when they are all put together they are too heavy to be moved by a single person. Each individual section can be carried by one person but are still pretty heavy by themselves. They support their own weight though and can stand on their own and if someone knocks into them there's a very good chance they won't move.
