Create A Raining Window Effect Prop | Disneyland's Haunted Mansion Ride Inspired Idea For Halloween
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2015
- Welcome to the haunted mansion here's a rain making practical prop idea for Halloween decorating, movie making, or stage rain effect. Here is a way to make a storming rainy window effect similar to the atmosphere you find in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride once you step off the stretching elevator but with real water to make it more realistic when up close. We wanted to create the effect using a water feature so you literally see real dripping water down instead of just projecting it. Welcome foolish mortals we are your ghost hosts in this chilling challenge of building a rain pipe window prop for Halloween Parties, haunted houses, walkthroughs and theater productions. You can use this effect in a hallway inside your haunt or walk through maze or right outside one of your windows of your house. The thunderstorm rain window or doorway scene include lightning bolts, real water for rain, smoke from a fog machine, and the sound of a monsoon during the night. This classic rain curtain effect is pretty easy to do and can be fairly inexpensive to achieve. The payoff is a delightfully frightful outcome that will be sure to frighten your guests prematurely. We framed up a squared off area outside the window of our house with 1" x 3" pine boards. We made a water catch troth and plumbed a rain pipe made of PVC for the water after drilling holes every 3" or so. After installing the plumbing we wrapped frayed fiberglass screen wire for windows around the pipe with 3/32" holes. We used a pond pump we used for our foam carved haunted Halloween water fountain prop. We placed the pump down inside a 5 gallon bucket which recycles the rain water. We use several cool white LED bulbs and black light party bulbs with the clamp light sockets. We painted a lightning bolt on a section of cardboard with a glow in the dark paint called wildfire. The lightning was made with a firefly lightning machine but you could use any lightning machine triggered by sound to make this effect work. We used a fog machine to help simulate a foggy scary night. We dressed the inside of the window with a see through lace curtain panel and red curtains close to the ones in the haunted mansion. They even had gold rope tiebacks. We had a lot of fun making this spooky atmospheric prop and hope you enjoy this prop making tutorial video.

I have a degree in theatre studies and props was my speciality and I have to say that I am so very impressed with what you have accomplished here, keep it up! England isn't as interested in Halloween as the US but we are slowly catching the bug.
I went to London in October and couldnt wait to see how they do Halloween(Im from the states) and I saw people in Christmas hats!
Awesome creative work
You two work together so seamlessly! Marriages have been destroyed by trying to put together Ikea furniture, and you guys create things from scratch! It's great to see such a peaceful partnership! Love your videos!!!
Awww, thank you for the nice comment. We truly are so lucky we love working together.
Thunder bolts and lightning, very, very frightening me! GALILEO! GALILEO! GALILEO FIGERO
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No,we will not let you go
I have been watching your videos for a while, and started analyzing the costs of building mazes and facades. I realized that it's actually cheaper to build sets, then to buy those flimsy & poorly made animatronics. Those things should be priced at $25-30, but they are $150-200. When you see them in person, they are just cheap junk, with pvc stands. Also, inflatable props are just junk, and trunk-or-treat has taken the place of Halloween. I think the kids are missing out on the good old fashioned DIY Halloweens we grew up with. Your videos have inspired me to decide to finally go for it, and build a maze this year like I'm talked myself out of for several now. It's fun to build, quick & easy, and fairly cheap. Faster to dismantle then to build as well. Hopefully I can inspire my neighbors to make some cool stuff on our block as well.
My facade is more of a small building, and to same money, I'm stapling 10x25' black 3 mil drop cloth from Walmart onto a frame made of 2x3x8' sticks with 3 inch screws. This is allowing me to make a bigger maze, or much cheaper costs. We'll people really enjoy it every year. I don't think anyone pays much attention to store bought decorations. It just doesn't get any attention. I have Laurel& Hardy on my roof so far. It's so funny to watch people slow to a crawl as they pass. The other day I was in the yard and as a SUV slowed down I heard them say WTF???? I just fell on the ground laughing. They WTF-ed my display. So funny.
So cool
that is fricken awesome
That´s a really unique effects, but boy it would suck if it rains on halloween and you made an entire raining machine.
I would've added a ghostly image of a creeper on the back wall to be seen when the lightning strikes.
That's a great idea :)
999 happy haunts.
At Disneyland in the Tiki Room they use clear/iridescent shaking shimmering plastic fringe in the windows with flashing light for lightning effect. With the rain sounds it’s very realistic feeling.
Wow! You guys are great at the practical effects! I just use a big old flat panel TV turned sideways and play a video of rain and lightning.
Love this channel!!
Thanks George we appreciate that 😉
Thinking this year Halloween is a no go
Its definitely going to be different that's for sure.
That is so cool! I'd have that on all day. Especially during scary movie marathons.
+GummyTumor Hahaha that would make the scary movies even creepier to experience. My brother who lives in a rainy climate told me if I wanted to see rain outside the window just move where he lives, it was funny.
Or just to sleep...lol
I think I would use a hula-hoop and cut it in half for the cloth/tarp so it's smooth/round !
Great idea! 👍👊🎃
Digging the practical effect! Think it could use more waterflow.
God, remember when 10 sticks were $20? I miss that 🤣. Lovely build, turned out very well
You two are still the best!
great use of the screen material. gonna remember that
Great work! Rolly Crump and Yale Gracie would be proud!
Its 999 happy haunts
I made something similar this year, but I think closing it off with a black cloth really adds to yours. Mine is just showing the trees, and strangly is less dark ride like then i expected. Maybe the fog machine will help. I didnt do the water effect this year. I have so much plugged inthis year, I didn,t want the power drain, but the water really adds as well. Great setup.
Bloody briljant.
Thanks for Sharing!
Omg I need you guys to come set this up for my library window!
That came out awesome!!!!
fantastic, I want to do this year round so I can have a rainstorm whenever I want
Wouldn't that be awesome!
frikin awesome as hell!
I LOVE YOU GUYS !! Can't wait to see what you create this Halloween !!
Thank you!!!
Love the Haunted Mansion and I love this! You guys did a great job recreating it.
this might just be added to my facade this year we'll see. i like the effect or maybe it can be added to the back of our new witches shed. Love the effect!!
Thanks Troy! You should totally do it, it was so much fun and the effect looks sooo much better in person.
That was an insane amount of work for the effect you could get with a garden sprinkler on the actual window. I don’t get how any of that makes it any better?
Hahaha! Yes that could definitely work for the outside of your house. I saw that same idea on Pee Wee's Big Adventure when he watered his lawn and it hit the neighbors house window. Really funny effect!
Awesome!!
Sooo goood! Congrats you two nailed another project. Looking forward to more. Thanks for sharing!
That was so much fun! ! Great work!
Ok not giving all of your secrets away, but how or what did you use to simulate the lightning and thunder, This was a great idea, and I can't wait till I get my new house so I can use this idea for my basement window in my office, because for some reason Thunder Storms relax me. This was a GREAT tutorial. Awesome 🤪🤙
we use lights alive firefly but there are several lightning simulators you can use now days. sorry for the big delay. Hope your basement turned out awesome! 👍
Awesome job.. Y'all really did a good job with it. It really does have the Haunted Mansion feel..
Very magical!!! I love it!!!
I just love you guys. 🖤
You two rock! Thank you sharing your awesome projects and keep up the good work.
Amazing effect. Turned out so well!
I hope you guys do a Haunted Mansion theme next year!
Thank you!!!
This video is totally awesome
Looks really good. I presume you had the light rigged to go off to the music/sound effects? I love it.
That's so cool
0:26 LOL
omg you two are adorable.
love your channel, looking forward to seeing everything u do this year!
Thank you so much!!
Doing a YouTure of all the DWD entries; I'm a fan, so I've seen this one a few times! So clever and thorough! Maybe the "active" static prop? good Luck!
Damn this is so cool! All that effort made it so epic in the end! gave me some spooky chills xD
Awesome! Thanks for watching :)
You can put a low watt bulb (with prongs) & plug it into a speaker to make the lightning effect!
Amazing scene.
Thank you!
Very cool guys!! Great to see ya again we've been missing you guys
Awesome ideas thank you for sharing 💀🧟♀️🎃
Great to see videos from you guys! You guys are one of my favorite channels!
I have a slider and a window above it on the side of my house ...Think I'm going to try this. Great job .
Sweet! Let us know how it turns out :)
your ideas are great and displaying for Halloween is so different from Christmas because it's for those kids and a fun night other than just having $10K full of lights and techy displays for Christmas
Thank you very much!
Great job.
+scubaspook1 Thanks Scuba!
THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!
Thanks!
I’ve been trying to think up a way to do this effect, you got my gears ⚙️ 🧠 spinning! 🌧
It's cool
Very awesome guys!!!was trying to see if this was possible and this was well done.
welldone i like it
Great project! I'm so glad to see you guys back at it!
Thanks, we're glad to be back :)
10 sticks $20....weeps 2021 tears
This is so Cool!! You guys are Awesome!!
AwesomeJob !!
Thank you!
That is so super cool. It sure is nice to see videos from you guys. Jeana you are so pretty. Your hair has gotten so long. Welcome back guys. We all have missed you.
Thank you for sharing this great idea.
+bransonhauntedhills Thank you so much Mary you are such a sweetie! =)
You guys are too cool! Couple goals, LOL! Not sure if you remember... I picked up 2 pieces of plastic/mirror sheets from you guys. I considered using it for a small peppers ghost effect or an infinity tunnel w/light bulb effect. I ended up painting a dripping Bagul (from Sinister) on one of the mirrors and mounted it to a very large ornate (expensive) gold frame. I love how it looks with all the imperfections and scratches of the mirror I picked up from you guys! I've used it as decor for the past 2 years and my guests are always creeped. I bought my first house this year (and in a neighborhood that attracts many trick-or-treaters) and your videos have served as inspiration for my own spooky home. You guys are awesome... Keep up what you do. Do you have an Instagram? I'd love to show you snaps of my home...
oh my gosh!...it's raining in southern california!...hahaha...that is such a cool effect!...i love it!...:D
Oh man how we wish! Hopefully it will start raining soon.
I’ll come out and visit you from time to time😂 3:07
You two are so comical... this is a great effect; nice window dressing, and the sound of the water hitting that plastic in the trough also helps "sell" the illusion. Good going!
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to recreate :)
very nicely done
Have yopu ever tried to make a 'mist screen'?
no but that would be awesome!
That is a very cool effect. Nice work!
Thanks, it was really fun to create!
love all your Haunts but am truly amazed at the $$$ you guys spend even for Americans. once we had REAL $$$ Stores in Canada but now ALL are $$$PLUS!!
We do try and get most of our materials second hand. If we had to pay full price we would have to scale waay down :)
Love it! Are you guys working on the next project for Halloween?
+Peter Brock Thanks so much, we are not doing anything big this year. Possibly a small display but we have several ideas we would like t work on. Thanks for watching.
now that's very cool thanks for sharing love it !! HFL!!
Thanks Buddy!
Maybe you could put a windwachine/fan in there to make the branch move ! Looks cool anyway, so good job !
Great idea!
That was fantastic. You two guys are over the top! If you are looking for an inexpensive lightning machine, I made a lightning storm using "the perfect storm 2.0" machine. Saw it on sale for about 30 bucks and it works great. Happy Halloween!
Very Cool you guys!!!
Thanks Matt!
Ok I watched it at 666 views. I love the effect but have to agree back lighting rain is the way to go. Thanks so much for the how-to and inspiration, except for the crazy axe wielding bride.
Oh man that's a creepy number to watch it on. When we did try moving the lights around, each thing made a little difference but it all got washed out whenever the lightning struck which was a lot so I just took them out. I also had a hard time hiding any lights that were behind so that we couldn't see them when looking out the windows. If someone took more time they could probably get it perfect and look super awesome. Great to hear from you!
+Hollywood Haunter It already looks super awesome! It's just I'm amazed when I shoot local TV stuff, how rain can disappear without a little lighting help.
Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers!
Thank you so much!!!
A storm with thunder and lightning would have enough wind to make the tree branches move around.
Do you have a video on the lighting and storm effect and linking sound?
Great video thanks.
Looks great, have a happy Halloween little monsters. 🎃👽😈🎃
Thanks Shark Attack! You too :)
Love you guys! FYI it is water-less it uses the pepper's ghost effect. It's a black belt with white specks on it. The lighting uses the same effect. Yours looks more realistic !
+deeljonathan
Thanks for the inside information =) We knew we were not doing it exactly how the Disney guys pulled it off but we tried our best to create an atmosphere similar to the way we feel and experience as we walk through the ride. Do you know if the storm windows in the Tiki Room in adventure land run much the same way as you described in the Haunted Mansion? Thanks for your comment and support.
+Hollywood Haunter No it uses real water it only runs off the over hang of the roof. The lighting is just a gobo projected on the same screen as the clouds.
+deeljonathan thanks I remember it looking and having a much cooler effect than the mansion.
LOVE this!! Do you have instructions for making the lightning/thunder machine? And what did you use for the blackout fabric behind the window?
We used black duvetyne fabric and a machine called firefly by lights alive.
@@HollywoodHaunter thank you!
That is so cool!! Wonder if you could somehow hook up q motor to the branch so it moves like its blowing in the wind.... Love it!!
+Tyler Domenic Great idea for even more detail I wonder if one of those box fans on high would do anything.
Maybe! I didn't think of that.
This is an absolutely awesome effect! How did you guys do the lightning lighting effect? I have been trying to search for some answer for a while now. Lol.
we used a lightning light controller that you connect to sound which triggers it. There are several on online now but we used a Lights Alive Firefly ruclips.net/video/A2KHxWZjcbw/видео.html
@Hollywood Haunter Thank you so much! I will look into it.
I have made it my life's long wish to build a system around my house that emulates the weather I desire
How did you get the lights to flash?
lightning machine called lights alive
Which lightning controller are you using?
Well done.. you two.I'm împressed....
Man this is so cool!!! Sadly this year we aren't doing a Halloween display of our own because our house is being renovated but we are gunna be going to universal studios this year!! I'm always inspired by ur displays and can't wait to see what you think up next!!!😀
Thank you so much! Yeah not sure what's going to happen with our haunt this year as our landlord has the house up for sale :( But good news is we get to go out and see other Halloween Haunts!
Thats to bad. I hope your able to do an all new haunt next year!!!!
You could extend the depth of area and put some gravestones in there as well? Maybe a skeleton or floating ghost or two😲
Awesome idea!!!
I'm not trying to "diss" your efforts in creating the effect, it is amazing, but I'm pretty sure Disney achieves this effect with no actual water. In The Tiki Room, they use the same effect with simple thin strips of clear plastic blown by small fans, and reflecting light, with strobe effects and window blinds to mask the simplicity. No actual water needed. I know this video is about 4 years old, but Disney's been using this effect for WAY longer, so maybe consider saving on the water bills and go for the "smoke and mirrors" effect. Plus, a lot less messier. I suppose this may fall into a more REAL version of the rain, but seems costly and very wet!
Thanks for the comment and great info on creating this effect. Yes Disney doesnt use water. We wanted to specifically use water so if you were close you would tell its real water dripping. Unless you far away I think practical effects for things like fire and water look better when its real and not projected. We were just having fun doing this way this time but there are several tricks. Thanks again.
@@HollywoodHaunter Thanks for the kind reply. I guess because the description in the video mentioned Halloween decorating and stage rain effect I assumed it was a more practical set-up, but I admire the work and detail on creating a more real effect for close-up. No doubt the actual water hitting the window and leaving steaks will sell it, but I suppose this is for more high end spook houses with tight spaces, where things are up close and personal. Thumbs up on the engineering work.
Cool but there are easier ways. That was more work then needed
Of course but we did have fun doing it so it didnt feel like that much work to us. 😊
Hollywood Haunter that is all that matters. There are many ways and you do what you feel that makes the project fun. Hours or minutes. There is many ways and none are really wrong if they all work 😊
Dis I miss the part what you connect the lights to create the lightning flashes and residual lighting - timed with the thunder soundtrack?
The lights were connected to a lightning simulator box from lights alive. We have other vids that focus on that in more detail but its basically the kind that flashes to sound.
How did you get the bulbs to pulse ike that?
You can always project a video of rain on the window and put a curtain over it
Did you try moving the lights behind (and just off center) to the rain?
You might get a better read on the drops that way...
+drkim Thank you for your suggestion we did try moving the lights around, pointed them from behind the rain, adding color, even a dimmable LED module and each thing made a little difference but it all got washed out whenever the lightning struck which was a lot so I just took them out. I also had a hard time hiding any lights that were behind so that we couldn't see them when looking out the windows. A person could get some really great effects depending on what their applications are.
Did i miss completely how you get the bulb to respond to the thunder sound?
