Halloween 2021 is almost here!! 🎃 We make lots of DIY Halloween Decorations and Props for our house and our new project is a Victorian haunted dollhouse makeover! Inspired by The Addams Family house, this Halloween DIY is the perfect addition to your holiday decor. We start with a thrifted dollhouse that we found at Goodwill®, and take you step-by-step how to transform it into a spooky miniature Victorian mansion complete with glowing jack-o-lanterns, demon kitty cats, and an animated ghost that wanders the top balcony.
The great thing about this project is that you can use these techniques to renovate any dolls house. If you'd like to make your very own DIY halloween haunted dollhouse, we encourage you to give this easy Halloween project a try!

Thanks for watching! You're all awesome. Have a great Halloween!
First
Wow!
You guys are AMAZING!
those pregnancy potty breaks got me up just in time to watch this! great job on the video and the house!
Have you ever done an Halloween tree?
A widow's walk, also known as a widow's watch or roofwalk, is a railed rooftop platform often having an inner cupola/turret frequently found on 19th-century North American coastal houses. Even creepier right? This was great! Thank you for sharing so early so I had the pleasure of watching while getting ready for work
Yes!!! Love it.
Fun fact!
Not sure if this is just an old wives tale, but the reason it's call the "widow's walk" is because wives would go on that walk to watch for their husbands' ships to come in to port in the 1800's.
Some would continue to do this after they received news that the husband had died at sea, haunting the walk like living ghosts in their grief (or habit honestly. Could be either, the 1800's weren't known for good emotional health.)
@@starshipquail8398 How agonizing to have to wait for months and years
@@starshipquail8398 fun fact, the American tradition of trick or treating was started because of the feeling and dread 40 to 100 year old homes gave folks in the 1800s. There used to be a haunted square grigorian style choir that sang for the dead on October 25th. I have two stories from two areas, the oldest from 1850-60-70 with my grandmother in Salem, Vermont, and Buffalo, and my grandmother's sister who lived in Savannah. She remember the copious attempts that people tried, it was tradition during autumn to try to paint the pink house anything from topaz orange, church willow green, or for the desperate times, simply pure black. All times proved futile however, as it always bled through back to pink within a week. She said her children and most others would run past the house whenever they were near the square.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar That's so cool! I never knew that.
..... Now I have an urge to go paint something neon pink.
I get to play with real Victorian homes owned by clients, and I have to say that you did a pretty good job with this! BTW the "creepy fence" on the rooftop is called "cresting." If the rooftop is accessible, it is a "widow's walk," often seen in ocean-front properties where the wives of sailors and sea captains would watch for their husbands' ships to return. But cresting was also placed atop non-accessible rooflines just as a decorative feature. The video inside that upper window is BRILLIANT!
I also love the trees. After spending all day restoring old homes, now I need to go find a dollhouse to defile. Thank you for the inspiration.
Pretty much every architectural feature on homes has a specific name. I can see about 5 features on this model with names most people would never use
How many of those names have dark origins? At least half, probably
That fence on the rooftop is called a widows walk. Old homes on the east coast have them because when husbands would go out to sea and didnt return. their wives would go up top the roof and look out for ships. Hence the widows walk. They are cool and Im glad you made one. Awesome work !!!
I actually had this exact doll house when I was little until I was 10, it's weird being 16 now and seeing all those memories get painted.
I still have the one my kids plated with. I'd never ruin it like this. They may want their kids to play with it. Not the exact same one but Toy quality drops over time. I still wish I had some of my childhood stuff, my mom sold my bike, worth lots of money now , even old metal lunchboxes. The new plastic boxes are junk
@@recoveringsoul755 I wouldn't say they ruined it. honestly I could care less about how much it's worth, the memories are good enough for me. I just wish I still had it so I could do something like this to it.
@@shiningstar4561 well if you chose to do this that would be one thing. My older sister took liberties with my toys when she graduated college, and with no job, went to live with our parents in the basement where we used to have our playroom. I was born the year Barbie came out so I'm talking vintage dolls, got their hair cut, eyelashes plucked out, face paint removed. Her own dolls sure, but she had no right to destroy any of mine. My mother sold my Schwinn banana seat bicycle which is worth a lot of money. Managed to get my old metal Munsters lunchbox complete with thermos still has intact unbroken glass. Worth over $1000 20 years ago.
Since toy quality declines and things are made more and more cheaply, flimsy and breakable, I think saving the higher quality stuff us important. I didn't have an over abundance of toys so I appreciated the ones I did have. I made a lot if things, like my own paper dolls and clothes, and a house for them that was also flat, opened like a book. We used to use our imagination
Same I’m 17 and I remember having it when I was young
I’m 24 and kept it for my younger sister and niece , the thumbnail made me double take
Every detail is amazing👻💀
Thanks! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼😄
I'm surprised you guys haven't done a Halloween colab ... :D
@@JeffYanthaWHAT? YOU PUNK! Halloween colab? What is that thing? It could be like a monkey Halloween. 👿👿👿
@@DoNotAvailableOGsHere well I was thinking more along the lines of a pentegram with blood red epoxy lit by LEDs, but monkeys could work too.
@@JeffYantha oh OK that's really cool. So ..🎃🎃🎃🎃awesome comment you have, punk!
It turned out amazing! I love the spooky effect video as the final touch. I think my favourite part has to be those jack-o-lanterns. Such a neat idea, and incredibly effective.
Thank you!!
That turned out cool, however I do have a couple of suggestions, little strips of cheese cloth for straggly beat up old curtains and maybe some bats that you can find at the dollar tree, they're bags of bat rings and skull rings, just cut off the ring part. You can attach them with thin wire so that they're flying around or just glue them to the surface.
I was thinking of other little touches too! Like maybe some tiny cobwebs or dried up ivy on the sides
and maybe a shadow in the upper window...
Ghosts coming out of the windows, too.
That was done by another youtuber...not sure if before or after this video. Im sure they do not want to copy others' ideas and do their own ideas to keep things unique and individual.
They might
That lil girl has got perfectly cool parents.. ♥️
Hahah she’s pretty cool herself 😄
@@WickedMakers 😍😍then lots and lots of love to our lil champ.. ♥️
Some tinted/smokey see-thru plastic made into broken windows and glass shards to add to the windows to break up the purple for more effect would finish this off nicely.
I used to have that old doll house. Just seeing that brought back so much memories, I feel old now. Amazing transformation by the way!
Hope you still have your old house. I don't know why so many people get rid of their happy childhood memories
@@recoveringsoul755 thankfully I still do! Somehow that house never broke despite everything it's gone through including a very clumsy me
which dollshouse is it? brand?
That was the best redo of one of these dollhouses I have seen. I am constantly seeing these dollhouses on the side of the road. I think I might collect them to make a village. Super cute idea for my favorite holiday.
I wonder if the children who played with them wanted to throw them out? Toy quality goes down with time, so the older houses will be better than the new ones. And they were expensive when new!! Still have my kids, saving it fir grandkids
I had this exact dollhouse when I was younger! I actually still have it and I'm thinking of repainting it just like this
Y’all are dedicated and have an endless supply of spooky shirts, I love it!
I noticed this, too, and I love them! My favorite in this video is the skulls riding the waves.
I LOVE this idea for a cool table top haunted display! All of your videos are great! So glad I stumbled upon them.
Thank you! 😄
Day off, cup of coffee, Wicked Makers project video with cool music = day made.
This was an awesome project. Turned out phenomenally. You 2 are so talented. 🤘🏼
A recommendation is weathering the widows walking rails at the top of the house since they would have aged with the house. Love the video you guys made my day!
As a kid, I had that same dollhouse. I can't tell you how much I love to see a hunted house version of it!
Same dollhouse I bought last year! Can't wait to get mine out. Love how yours looks! The ipad in the window is such a great touch!
You could add the trees to some foam poster board with layers of expanding foam, with washers on the foam poster board. This is how I make my tree bases for RPG terrain.
Oh my gosh. I had this dollhouse as a kid and I freaking love what y'all did to it.
I REALLY enjoyed watching this! It turned out so good! I love the details and the purple lights. Just amazing! You guys are a great team and inspire me. I need to up my Halloween game
Y’all have ascended. Not just the project. Editing in this one was really great too!
Really well done! Only change I would have made is add some verdigris to the copper door and rail.
What an inspiration! We actually have this dollhouse and it’s getting very little play as my girls are older. Guess I know what to do with it now.
Of all the paid promotions TH-cam creatives can agree to, this is definitely one of the coolest. Goodwill shopping is fun and, for haunt-makers like us, we always end up with more authentic pieces for our setup. Very cool video. Now I'm on the lookout for a dollhouse!
Incredible! My daughters both had that doll house… wish we still had them. Might need to go hunt one down now!
No joke, I used to have that dollhouse when I was little. Just looking at it is nostalgic.
This is freaking awesome!
Love this idea and absolutely going to try this; hobby lobby in town here has lots of bare bones doll houses if you want something plain to work on.
You could have used instant coffee to stain the wood planks for the windows as well. I do it for my minis and it comes out amazing.
This is so cool! I love how you break it down and make it so simple to follow and practical!
So cool! Smart move swapping out the orange lights, I think green lights would've been amazing as well!
LOVE this!!! Can't tell you how many dollhouses I have walked past at Goodwill not even thinking about different ways to re-use them . This gives me an idea to do an maybe an Easter House? You guys up for the challenge?
I love this so much!!! I feel like you guys are like me, where every time you see a thing in a store (especially a thrift store), your minds immediately go to alternate uses for it. I rarely use things as they were intended! It’s always “bet I could stick a plant in that” or “that would cast crazy shadows on Halloween!”
Painting the base colours looked incredibly therapeutic 😌
Best haunted house I've seen so far here on YT. Stellar job, you really stepped it up without really breaking the bank---another thing I love about your build
I would have done one main thing differently : I would have painted all of the roof top sections individually using like 3 or 4 different colors. I would have painted the fences metallic silver...
This turned out amazing! I have this exact doll house that I found cheap on FB marketplace for the same purpose, I love seeing what other people do with it :)
Looks so neat! I think I would leave it more of a dark tone, the lighter purple was an interesting choice. But still super cute!
I love projects like this! OwO It's unfortunate my Goodwill stores never have stuff like this, but I'll continue to be on a look-out for a dollhouse since making my own haunted doll mansion has been a personal goal of mine for a long time. I did, however, repaint and convert my 80s vintage Barbie limousine into a HEARSE last Halloween though. Looks pretty rad. OwO
This is amazing!! You guys did a fantastic job!! Being a dollhouse collector though, I would love to see the inside done with furniture and accessories! I am now going to subscribe to your channel. Thanks for sharing! Really loved the video!!
That's so awesome!! You two are so creative and Thank you for showing this, I've never seen this before. And btw I'm loving those shirts
After your cat was in the video, all I could think about was how cute that cat was. Also, you guys are legends, I wish I had the time and patience to do this.
Wow, this brought back memories! I had this exact dollhouse when I was a kid, this was so cool to see
The cat was a great touch....
Incredible work! And I must say, you both have an impressive amount of a Halloween tshirts! Love it!
This is incredible! And good choice with the purple lights it looks great!! There were monster high dolls that would totally go with this look too! 🖤🖤🖤
I like how laid the house down to let the wash settle in the cracks. But I think once dry, you should have done another one upright that looks like dirt and rust running down the siding.
A little graveyard would have been really cool , you no by the trees
Yes!!!!
I absolutely love the carved out pumpkins and the cocktail skewer railings. SO CLEVER! Well done, guys!
I guess I'm going to be making a haunted doll house now. This is so amazing! I love it!🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Just bought an old dollhouse and all the dollhouse stuff online for $45! It’s been base coated with black primer and looks really cool already. I’m waiting for the primer to dry fully and then I’ll be getting ready for my first coat of “dirty” paint. I AM SO EXCITED!
Nice!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼😄
Also chopped up a rubber doll body, and applied red paint to the cut parts. All parts in a wheelbarrow to be placed next to a dirt hole.
That turned out amazing! You two are incredible, and the attention to detail is on point! LOVE IT!
Found the exact same doll house at a yard sale around the corner the same day I said I wanted to make this, that was 2 yrs ago. It turned out amazing
Awesome!
This is very nostalgic I used to have that doll house when I was younger🥲 turned out super cool💗💗
I actually owned one of those dollhouses as a kid. Seeing one again after so many years really took me back. Who would’ve thought it’d be transformed into a haunted house!
I smile the whole time i watch your videos.. love the channel.
Great job.. Casper Ann's his uncle's would be proud to call that home.
hey guys I hope this find you all well in the spooky season as a fellow diy cosplayer and amateur prop builder I wanted to show you guy some of the inspiration yall have given me with yalls videos
I have workshop envy! I would so love to have a workshop and be able to craft and work on projects as you do. BTW I think your little girl is beautiful.Thumbs up on the awesome haunted house. The dollhouse was made for this project. If that old doll house could talk it would thank you for reviving it to a new life and purpose! Keep up the great content.
Wow, SO fun and it turned out SO great! Love those black cats!
U guys literally made a master piece keep up the good work u guys it’s keeping me entertained: D lol
Austin Power's cat is grotesque
I used to have that dollhouse lol Imagine it was the same one I used 10 years ago. I love it
This is so incredibly amazing!! you guys really did a fantastic job!! I'm working on a wooden haunted house right now myself and now I wanna find a doll house to redo, lol this was great inspiration!! 👍
Thank you for the slow panning of the finished product!!
Y’all are so talented! What creativity! I wanna make one now 💖
I followed most of your instructions and LOVE how my house turned out. THANK YOU both for the inspiration!
That’s great!!! So glad to hear it
This was amazing! Really getting me in the mood for this upcoming spooky season...
honestly the house looking like it was on fire kinda fits
You should’ve put little dots on the popsicle sticks to make it look like they were hammered in and not just floating in top of the haunted house
That's the EXACT dollhouse I had as a kid! Blast from the past, you did an amazing job on the makeover 💖💖
Looks amazing! I’m going to have to keep an eye out for an old doll house
This is the very best diy tutorial makeover that I found for this dollhouse! I'm excited to do this project as I just picked up the same dollhouse!!
One word can describe this project: Spooktacular! There I said it. I know, cliché, but what are ya gonna do? I just happen to have one of these houses in my basement that was my daughters toys. I may end up recreating this project myself if my kids don't shoot me. Love your channel! The best part was the beauty queen that tried to eat the spray can.
Wow awesomely creepy, love your work. Thank you for sharing 💀🎃☠️👻🎃🧟♀️🧙♀️
All my dollies want to come play with this haunted house!! 😂 Great job, y'all!!! 🎃
WOW, I was loosing it, with the jack-o'-lanterns and then the video in the window...I couldn't contain myself. Amazing! Amazing! My little inner trick or treating child is living, inside. 🎃
🤘🏼😄 glad you liked it!
I made the same house last year. I kept it black, and drybrushed white on most of it. For the details I used model markers in metallic. Wish I could share a picture because it came out amazing!
This is really amazing. Adding another project to my list.
The details are great! Wish the color of the house was darker so it looks spooky. It looks more like it’s falling apart and just needs to be flipped.
Oh don't mind me, I'm just sitting in my office screaming "CUUUUUUTE!" at the screen. This project turned out wonderfully!!!
From the Barbie house hehehe. This is amazing, your techniques trully evolved from this video up to the barbie house
my best freind donated that exact dollhouse from when she was younger to goodwill a couple weeks ago
Yes i did
@@madeleinemaas574 Ik best friend
It's so weird for me watching this because i had this same dollhouse when i was little and i can still see where i had my dolls playing at and watching it go from my childhood to a monstrous house was amazing
Omg I had the same dollhouse growing up! Also this turned out amazing.
Me and my sisters had that same doll house when we were kids now my niece has it. Love the transformation
This is really cool! but if anyone plans on doing this, please be aware that in taking a dollhouse from goodwill you could be taking a dollhouse from a child who can't afford to buy a brand new one. If you can, find one that is clearly in bad condition, that no child could use anymore, or even reuse one you already have lying around.
Yes, but remember there is a child that needs to play in everyone of us. Give one to a child that can't afford one, by all means. But give yourself all your own inner child needs.
Turned out awesome! Also, super cute baby and kitty! 😁
This is exactly the kind of vid I've been looking for!! I have a plastic SUPER bright colored dollhouse that I've been wanting to turn into a haunted house, and this video has SO many great ideas! Thank you thank you thank you :)
btw- what was the video that you used for the upper window? That was a very nice touch!
I'm not 100% sure but that looked like an AtmosFX video.
THAT....IS ....SO.... COOL!!! And I absolutely love that GoodWill is where you will get your supplies.
I have a couple of suggestions. I would wipe the dollhouse down with a degreaser first, like Simple Green & a quick water rinse, so the paint will adhere better. (kids hands are usually dirty) For dry brushing, you can use Rub & Buff from craft stores with your finger instead of paint & a brush, it's much easier to control & the job is done very quickly. I love all the finishing touches you added from the lighting, trees, black cats & the awesome idea for a widow's walk! It turned out amazing!
I want to do this also. I check out the flea markets for doll houses. But yours is excellent. You did a lot of work. It's amazing!!!
This is just....amazing. Subbed and now to binge watch the channel haha
Noice I like it
Thanks!
A wire brush taken to the popsicle sticks would provide a good weathered texture for them.
That haunted house looks wicked
Beautiful and wicked! 😱
I saw this video randomly, looked at the thumbnail and realized I have that same doll house from when I was a toddler! It's sitting in my room
anyone else click on this because the thumbnail has the same doll house you had as a kid
Yeah, that's why I clicked it when I was a lot younger, I had one, I still do, but it's like old, it hasn't been used really my nephew just goes in like slaps it he's a baby, but main reason I clicked on it was because it has the same dollhouse😅
This turned out SO cool.
