Well this video needs to be nominated for an Emmy. It inspired me to make one of my own and I live in a high rise building. Your vision and craftsmanship is incredible, you captured the authenticity in that pumpkin. Awesome job!
Thank you for these awesome words, Michael !
Why did you not use the same technique on tomb stone painting as this one. Just curious you added protectant to this one and not tomb stones. TIA
@@leginagonzales4264 The reason I added foam coat to the pumpkin is to make the pumpkin stronger and have a hard coat on it. It’s not for protective measures from the elements. The gravestones are already hard because insulation foam board is a solid piece. You could add the foam coat to the grave stones but it would be money wasted since the Dryloc paint gives it the texture that is needed for the gravestones.
He is such an inspiration!
This is Hollywood quality! Harry Potter vibes. The kids in your neighborhood live next to the wizard of Halloween 🎃😲
This is exactly the vibes I was going for. Glad you love it! It’s been my favorite project
Totally! I would love to trick-or-treat at that house! Or even drive by at night!
@@madzabinga8382 thank you!
Inspired by Hollywood Haunter?
Great job!
They’re like Halloween royalty! Love them.
Definitely got inspiration from various places, including them. Their pumpkins come out looking better though.
Another one this week omg you're truly spoiling us!!! you make them all look so easy, I absolutely love the finished product looks incredible
🤴🏻
Love that you showed your mistakes and what you would do differently!
❤️
Great job! Have been working with smaller styrofoam projects for over tweny years, and I was VERY impressed with your work and tenacity. Terrific Isaac!
Thank you so much for this awesome comment, Ken! It’s my first time working with styrofoam on such a scale and I’m very happy how it turned out
Once again, this is a level of skill and patience I’ll never know.
Well done!
Thank you so much Billy!
I love your ideas.
You simplify it so well.
Everything about this was exquisite. The obvious care that went into editing this. Your artistry knows no bounds 🖤 love that pumpkin & your videos
Thank you for this. Made my day
“Love that pumpkin” haha
OMG you are my hero! This is my goal for future years!!! You did an AMAZING job!!!
Thank you so much! Definitely make one! It’s labor intensive but very easy to make!
You've outdone yourself, sir. Outstanding work. PS-You're home is beautiful!
Thank you Trevor! Very kind of you
Wow, excellent and fun job. Great video with wonderful instructions.
Oh the possibilities are endless!! LOVE THIS! Great job! HAPPY HAUNTING!
Thank you so much! And yes, the possibilities are endless!
Awesome job! I've been trying to figure out how to get foam blocks to build a fake tree for my daughters. Thanks to you I went to Tractor Supply today and loaded up! Thanks so much!
Thank you Haxman! Yea a lot of people don’t know that tip so I’m glad it helped you find some!
Great video. Appreciate your thorough instructions
Super cute! Thanks for linking all the products you have used.
Just wanted to make it super easy for everyone :)
Outstanding Work!
I love this idea, wow! Awesome pumpkin!
Love this! I also love the colors of the home you have it placed in front of.
Thank you! That’s my home sweet home. It’s my first home
Absolutely love it!! May I say you’re not only smart and crafty, but you’re cute too! 🎃
Thank you Edith! Smart, crafty and cute sounds good to me! 😊
The hot knife could have been used to do the entire project. We've made hundreds in all sizes. It is cleaner (keeps the foam dust out of the environment) , easier, quicker and a much more efficient process all around. Nice pumpkin!
Thanks for the tip :)
I was thinking the same thing. I’m all about projects that are simple & clean. 😉 Do you know if there’s a more environmentally-friendly product to use in place of styrofoam? Plus, it’s so messy! It’s almost as bad as glitter. Ha. I was cracking up as it clung to Isaac’s arms & legs.😂
I need one of those hot knives!! It was very satisfying to watch it slice so clean. 😍 Thank goodness Xmas is around the corner! Ha. 🖤💀🎃
@@b-dub6865 It's better to recycle the Styrofoam in projects like this than having it in a landfill.
@@steamdespair9189 True. Or just don’t use it at all. It’s terrible for the environment & isn’t biodegradable. So why not use material that’s environmentally-friendly?
@@b-dub6865
Option to your question to replace styrofoam: My friend builds railroad scenery..mountains, tunnels; he gets old sofas for free and uses the foam and carves it into whatever boulders and such.
This is amazing. You did a fantastic job!
Thank you for sharing these great halloween tutorials. Been viewing already several of your videos. All of them are really informative, easy to understand as you explained them perfectly well and all the outcome are amazingly outstanding!!!
Excellent job!!!👍👍👍💯
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment, I’m glad you found my videos helpful and enjoyable
Dude, you are super talented and have a Lot of patience. You are also a great instructor. Love it.
Thank you so much for this! I try to break it down in ways that I would like to be taught things. 🎃

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY
Thank you.🎃
New subscriber here....your video just popped up when I opened RUclips this morning. I absolutely love the pumpkin and thank you for sharing this great tutorial. I've been trying to figure out a way to create large Christmas ornaments to add to my Christmas decorations. I'd love to see you make one of those ....
Welcome to my RUclips channel, Terri!
So happy you love my pumpkin. A giant Christmas ornament is one of the items I plan on making in the next couple of weeks for my Christmas decorations. Just trying to work out the plan and how to best make one 😃😃
Absolutely awesome!!
I love that you took a Hollywood Haunter concept and made it your own! Good tip on getting foam blocks at Harbor freight!
They are considered royalty in the Halloween community haha love them.
I’ve never heard of anyone getting the blocks at Harbor Freight, though I don’t see why they wouldn’t have them there as well.
Most people get them at the Tractor Supply store
Sorry that’s what I meant 🤦🏼♀️
I meant tractor supply 😂🤷🏼♀️ but brain wrote HF 🤷🏼♀️ haha, yeah they really are haunter royalty! I’ve learned so much from them, VanOaks, and other brilliant haunters.
I have to say, your witch prop is truly awesome, great design overall, and the instructions are super clear- I hope you get a good following from those! I really enjoyed the fact you left in the parts where you ended up changing materials, but explain why the change is better. As far as tutorials go, the witch and cauldron are up there with the best I’ve seen! And you make it seem doable for anyone, so really good job on that!
@@KerriGilpin feedback like this always makes my day so much better. Thank you so much for those words. I think it’s always very important to be able to showcase when you make a mistake or when you change your plans because it lets you learn as you grow and show others better ways to do things. I’m so happy you loved them 😊🎃
You are so creative. I love this!
Thank you Rachael
Wow this is amazing…watching all your videos. Can’t wait to try one! Oh by the way I bought 3 of your books for the grandkids!
This is amazing lots of work and time went into this but its beautiful love it ~
Thanks Joe!
Its beautiful!!! Love your creativity!!!🎃💙🎃
❤️
This is an excellent idea. Thank you for sharing the mistakes too. You are very talented.
Thank you! 😊 I think it’s important to show the mistakes so that others don’t make it.
Thanks for the idea, definitely something to do next Halloween. Excited to do this project soon.
Isaac! I've watched all your videos and you do such a great job explaining everything and including links of what you used is especially helpful! Im going to call you the "expanding foam king! LOL Keep up the awesome videos! looking forward to more. Hopefully some more gardening videos as well!
Haha thank you! I do tend to use expanding foam A LOT - and someone has finally noticed! Thank you so much for watching all my videos 😃
Perfect. That was very inspiring and turned out great.
Thank you so much! Loved doing it
So awesome!
So funnn! Omg it’s like Cinderella’s carriage. A lot of effort but worth it. Also what a nice huge house and pretty garden. A house as nice as that deserved that nice ornament. Can’t wait to see more crafts from your channel 💖 ps I loved that you used Halloween background music instead of leaving it muted while in speed mood.
Thank you so much for these wonderful comments. It does look like Cinderella‘s carriage. It was time consuming but definitely super fun to make. Hopefully next year I can make another one to accompany it.. Glad you loved it 🎃
Stunning!
That is amazingly cool! Very clever!
Thank you!
Really Really awesome 👌
Beautiful Pumpkin, Beautiful House!

Do it! Do it! Do it! 🙌🏻😃🎃
This is fantastic. All it needs is some giant twisted vines and pumpkin leaves!
That is awesome great job
Thank you so much !
You can do all the shaping using the hot wire, including making the ribs (makes much less mess). You should only need to use the horse brush for the final surface. Then hit it with a heat gun or propane torch to eliminate the fuzzy balls. Then paint with “oops” returned paint, dark color (then light color). As soon as you paint use bedsheet or other cloth and cover entire pumpkin and paint over as you go. It gives it a strong skin. You can then sprinkle it with mortar mix while the paint is still wet (will creat a stronger skin) let dry and they paint with lighter or darker paint (to ensure proper coverage) then add coats of paint until you can no longer see the material) finally paint the last coats with the desired color.
Chingon! Great job man! Impressive and messy 🤣!
Haha very messy indeed but so rewarding at the end!
Looks awesome
Thank you
Isaac this is amazing. I am obsessed with this!!!!!
Thank you Martin! It’s definitely my favorite prop that Ive made this season

Great job! I am collecting the blocks from our local TSC to make a huge pumpkin. Thank you for sharing. New subscriber!!!!!
Welcome to my channel! How big are you thinking of making it? As big as mine (24 blocks) or bigger?
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY I was thinking bigger but I probably should start off with one your size then try one bigger!
@@bransonhauntedhills that’s super dope! Do it!
Awesome job
Thank you Connie!
That is sooooooo awesome love it great job 👏 👍
Thank you Sonia!
Really cool!!!!
Thank you Carol!
I’m a diabetic & I get my insulin via mail order. Between me, my husband & my mom we get about 20 styrofoam coolers a year. Now I can recycle some of them into holiday decorations instead of sending them to the trash! I’ll use the ones you recommended for the top & bottom layers since they are solid but I’ll use the cooler for the middle layers & recycle them! Thank you!
That is so awesome!!!
Thank you!
Fantastic. 🎃
Thank you Theresa !
Amazing!!
Thank you! 🎃
Wow 😮 I love your work 👏
Thank you so much, Gisela!
Love it! Amazing job. Alot of time and talent went into this project. Hard work paid off. "So how many are you going to make and sale??" Nice side job!! Enjoyed.
Haha thanks! Even though it was super time-consuming, it was one of the most fun projects I have made. I’ve been asked so many times to create more to sell, they just take too long to make ha ha
Very nice quality and care went into this project and it shows looks like something I would buy from a home goods store or crate and barrel if they actually had pumpkins this big love😍it.
Thank you so much Alexander. I honestly wish they sold this size pumpkins because I’ve always wanted one. I’m so happy that you love it, thank you so much again for the nice comment
Awesome now it needs some babies I’ll remember this forever great job
Thank you so much for this awesome comment Christy! I have about 40 foam pumpkins that I’ve gotten from the store Michael’s that will form a huge pumpkin patch!
Michael angelo of pumpkin carving.nice!! This would be a challenge on a windy day. .
Haha thank you!
Oh yes, do not attempt on windy day!
mmm now I'm CRAVING pumpkin pie!
Love pumpkin pie 🥧
Wow so cool
Thank you Charles
have been wanting to recreate the pumpkin from halloweentown and praying i can find foam blocks for this project!!
I’m going to have to try to make this for my Farm Next Year!!!
Love it! I have the yard for a patch of pumpkins like that...I just don't have the space to store them (or even one) for the other 10 months of the year. :)
Haha storage can be an issue for items so large! Thankfully I have space in the backyard
