Last year we had an idea for an EPIC DIY Halloween prop….a gateway to the underworld! We spent all year thinking of how to make this insanely awesome halloween prop and we finally did it! The Dark Portal is a classic element from the Warcraft universe and we used that as part of our inspiration for this halloween prop. There are also some other video game elements in this build…the runic carvings aren't from Warcraft, but another epic game that we love. Can you figure out what they say? 💀
How does the Dark Portal work?
It's built entirely from XPS foam and paint, with LEDs on the inside to make the runes glow. We used a semi-transparent material on the back and then did a rear projection of a hellish VFX scene, etc. to create the interior of the portal. During the day, the fabric is taken down and then at night we project the hellscape.
We've made a lot of awesome DIY Halloween Props but this one is on another level, it's absolutely EPIC. It's a great addition to our Halloween Yard Haunt, and we're SUPER excited for the kids trick-or-treating in the neighborhood to check it out! There's also the added benefit of being able to travel to other dimensions and worlds from our front yard. That's pretty good too.

A cool alternative would be to incorporate a fog curtain so you can actually walk through the portal.
Yes!!!!!!
Awesome!! Would this actually work though??? 🤔🤔🤔
@@hishers4535 You can DEFINITELY project onto fog.
@@haynerbass that's awesome!!! Thanks!! Would you care to share how? I'm very new to projections.
@@hishers4535 Tons of stuff on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/Xc2jr2DB-FQ/w-d-xo.html
I'm a light technician, I do concert shows. One free tip for you.... Use Kitchen Wax Paper as a diffuser, it can hold some heat without creating a fire hazard. Also, use Polyisocyanurate Foam Board Insulation, you can get it in Lowe's with one side with a aluminum layer, that will hold heat and will help for reflection or if you use pink foam, glue a aluminum foil layer inside.
Hey, I work with pink foam and LEDs all the time, but nowhere near this scale. Do the LEDs really give off enough heat that the aluminum is necessary?
@@kimnobles7687 definitely not.
Depending how strong power are the leds. Is not about is necessary, its just a recommendation, you can work with what you have. Aluminum foil its cheap, why not?
The leds I do use are mounted in a heat sink and needs a fan for cooling. The leds on a tape for decoration you can touch it with your finger, almost no heat.
The aluminum is not only for heat, also everytime you work with current, you have the potential to create a spark and then a fire. And the aluminum are good for reflect the light like a mirror does, making it more bright efficient, like a flashlight.
@@HighPoweExpress thanks for that info!!
Parchment paper is even more heat resistant, and a little more defuse than wax paper. I’ve used it for photography diffuser. May not be as water resistant though; tends to get more transparent when wet
I bet your neighborhood waits in anticipation to see how you decorate for Halloween. This portal is mind-blowing!
I realize this video is a couple of years old so this might have been mentioned. I used to build very elaborate haunted houses and projections were common. A give away to that effect is you can see the beam from the projector, especially if mist or fog is used. I solved this problem by shooting the projector through neutral density filters for video or stage lights. Window tinting will work too. Some times we had to adjust the brightness on the projector to balance the effect with the filters, but it worked great. People would see the image but could not see the source. This portal is awesome. You guys did a excellent job with it.
This is great advice. Thanks!
@@WickedMakers I’m new to your channel and absolutely love it!
Curious though, where do you store all these awesome projects when it’s not Halloween? Like in a storage unit, shed, garage?
@@pucamisc probably a strorage unit im assuming. maybe multiple?
I used to do a haunted house at my small bi-level home and the neighborhood loved it. Got out of it because of time constraints and the amount of money I was dumping into it. Haven't done it in about 6 years and still get asked about it every halloween. You guys are motivating me to start it up again! Hope my wife doesn't leave me :)
Minus the time restraint…you could possibly charge a dollar per entry or 5 for the season (like a 3 week setup or so) or do a go fund me to get help with it and def put the setup and clips of it on here to get money from views. Maybe a Patreon account after the first season. Idk, just some quick thoughts to help b/c it’s a a great idea. Hope this helps with costs for it and to make sure your wife stays.
@@Crions-nr6yv Definitely!
Duality240, what part of the country are you located?
If she doesn't get it, say goodbye.
Sooo. Which game are the tunes from? Love this prop and look forward to making it and storing it in my man cave fully set up
Looks like draconian runes from skyrim, love this lol takes Halloween to the next level
It is dovahzul
It is
they are
K-E-D (Left)
W-I-II (Right)
What's the meaning of this stone-henge?
Strange, it says "Alduin demands chicken nuggets." Lol. Just kidding.
My wife and I have made at least 5 of your Halloween projects this year! We love your videos! In the words of Skyrim , you two are truly WICKED!
This is so awesome! I worked as a propmaker in Hollywood for many years doing countless movies, TV shows and commercials and now retired. I just wish my wife would join me in making a project like this. Thanks for sharing...
I love this community of crafty people sharing tips on how to improve the techniques!! The toothpick idea is genius, so simple!
Chop sticks work well too or screwers from the dollar store
Just built and finished painting my portal yesterday, reassembled it n was blew away by how good it looks! Thank for this amazing tutorial. My LEDs go in TODAY!!!
I am a simple person. I saw the runes of my kind and a portal. I clicked.
This is really really cool!
the gateway is iconic from World of Warcraft same with the runes first released during Burning Crusade
Gotta love WoW, great game
Not enough time for tomorrow, but next year, the neighborhood will never be the same. Truly awesome.
Thank you!
Any update? Have you made yours yet?
Well that’s the language of the dragons of Tamriel if ever I’ve seen it.
A nonsense word by translation, but pronounced ‘WiiiKED’.
Nice work!! 👊🏼💀 Dragons apparently have no use for the letter ‘C’ so we improvised. 😁
Dovahkin
Husband pick that up right away. Figured he’d know.
@@oedkaldmitintheshadows "There is no dragon equivalent for the letter C. Instead, either S or K are used to produce the same sound." from the page you linked.
I thought this looked like Dovahzul hahaha
Green screen cover separate panels maybe out of cardbooard perhaps refrigerator boxes inside and put several together so you can walk thru them so you go thru them. Add the video then of the walk thru. Still be able to post the effect. Add a wave warp as your hand disappears as in stargate. Then whole body disappears thru. Then a wide shot of portal with an edit as your right leg is shown only going thru. Love the portal. Looks so real.
That’d be sweet!
@@WickedMakers i love special effects. Right now im experimenting with color transition to black and white. I want to do one with the room and myself in black and white and then open the door and as i step out the outside is color and i gradually change to color then full color of myself. Just like dorthy did in the wizard of oz when she first seen munchkin land. They had judy garland in a gray and white dress and the room was in black and white. All practical effects. Really great effect for 1939.
Remember those people who have really good Christmas light shows? Better believe Their house on Halloween looks phenomenal.
Looks like the portal to outlands from World of Warcraft. Pure epic!
I had instant WoW dark portal vibes too
if you add some laser pointers reflected into a flat plane with a spinning mirror (like in a laser level) and a smoke machine, you can create what would look like an actual glowing portal inside.
That is probably the most AWESOME Halloween self made project I have EVER seen!
FYI, instead of carving in the foam for cracks and mortar joints it’s easier if you use a soldering iron. Cleaner too. I’m a theater guy...I do it a lot! PS - love your stuff
AwesoMe! Great tip.
If you do this, I highly recommend either buying a second iron or a different tip for melting stuff vs soldering. Done my fair share of both and it makes life so much easier!
I use the hot iron as well.
This was ridiculously cool! Skyrim is one of my favorite things, and those finished "stones" look incredible 👍👏
I wonder if there's a way to make the screen sheet split like a Diagon Alley brick wall hack so people could walk through it... Maybe weights at the bottom hem and overlapping the parts would keep it from parting when not in use. I love that every time I watch one of your videos it sets off showering sparks of ideas!
Oh nice!! That would be AWESOME!
@@WickedMakers I'm rewatching it for this year, & this time, I automatically thought, 'Oooh, it would be cool for a Veil from Order of the Phoenix!' Then I thought, why do I think of Harry Potter every time I watch your videos? I swear I'm not obsessed. I was fully grown when the books came out. Sure, I still waited in line to buy the books, dressed up to see the movies, have all the individual DVDs and a box set of Blue Rays, know my house, wand, and patronus, and have an extensive DIY Harry Potter diy decoration/costume/recipe playlist on here, but I wouldn't say I'm obsessed...
@@LaineyBug2020 yeah you're obsessed.
Foam fireplace using the sheet and projector showing spirits rising from flames in the middle would be cool movie . Have the same person from Fiverr design a video of spirits rising from fire
This is awesome I just found your guys' channel . Spray paint also works well to make insulation foam look like stone. The solvents that make it sprayable dissolve the outer foam and leave behind a hardened textured surface that's also primed for painting.
That is incredible, you guys make extremely cool stuff. I made the candy slid already. There will be one of these in our yard next year, along with an increase in size of our cemetery. Thanks so much for cool projects.
I made it and it looked super cool and I am going to upload a video of it soon. I added fake moss which woked really well and is something you should try. I also noticed something after watching the video many times while building it. For about 1/8 of a second when the first clip starts to fade out the portal effect disappears. Did you edit the footage to show the portal effect in daylight? That would explain why it was so bright. It makes sense why you would do that because you cannot really see all off the detail of the stone at night and editing it would really help make a good opening for the video.
When I made my HUGE Tomb Stones over 12 yrs. ago... and they are STILL In good shape... I used some old paneling pieces and glued the paneling to the backs of the Tomb Stones with Heavy Duty Construction Glue and then screwed them to the 2" Pink construction foam.
Then I mounted the Tomb Stones into stair-stepped wood bases made from plywood for the bottom and the 2X4 boards and stair-stepped them to make them look AND FEEL Solid! And it worked VERY Nicely! :D
You all have way too much fun! Wishing you a very Happy Halloween!! Hope you have a large storage space with all of the effects you've built.
Awesome build... looks amazing! I love how your genuine joy at creating and working together comes through in every episode 👍🏻😄.
I love your videos! I like that your props look good without being overly gory (I've noticed that a lot of Halloween props that arn't cheap tend to be all about gore). Keep up the amazing work!
AWESOME! I LOVE working with the pink foam insulation. So far I haven't made anything 1:1 scale but I have built a lot of 1/6th scale structures with it. I have plans to do something like this but a whole room that looks like the inside of a pyramid, tomb castle etc. Just need my own house do do it in.
It reminds me of exactly the Nether Portal. Imagine making a real life portal with the frame looking like it's made of Obsidian, in a large scale like this portal.
That is badass! I've been doing tombstones and pillars out of foam, carve, torch, and Rust-Oleum Stone Creations spray paint, but your washes look amazing!! Really nice work!
Thank you!!!
So curious, do you all have anywhere to download your cut sheet plans for the foam? This project is really amazing!
Friggen brilliant!
Wow that portal is out if this world incredible! The weathering you did makes it look so realistic amazing work
Totally just gonna make one for my DnD room XD
Yes!!!!
Glad I am not the only one thinking that
@@RaptorsBlood oh I'm totally doing the same
Yep... definitely can see me as DM sat in front of that 👍
“It’s a gateway to somewhere beyond.”
The Boiling Isles?
What’s that..? Lol sorry..
Lol imma pack my bags and go visit luz and everything over there using the portal
@@caydenzstudios3601 Just don't let the Emperor's Coven catch you :)
I salute the epic amount of nerd service in your build. 👍🤓
That’s an amazing piece of artwork I would like to build this myself. Great job.👍🏽
We made some tombstones out of wood we found in our attic from the person that owned our house last and we used some of the names from your tombstones! Thank you!
I found your channel today and I am OBSESSED. I’m crazy for Halloween but I’m kinda the only one in my social circle so this makes me so happy!! Also, there’s something about your videos that makes them feel so belonging to like, discovery channels hahaha. I don’t know if it’s the way you guys describe your next moves or the songs, but I can see you in a September October special series where someone would hire you to build or revamp a Halloween decoration for them in the style of tanked. I would love that show
Hot wire cutters work on pink stuff very well too. Mod Podge mixed w paint will seal the foam to water proof. The wash works well with paint, water, and a little dishwashing soap.
Mega geil . Also erlich das beste was ich so immer sehe. Und bin neidisch , das ich selber das nicht so hinbekomme . 🤗
Love the paint technique on this and the tombstones. I made tombstones out of foam several years ago and after applying the gray base coat, I put watered down black paint into a spray bottle to add the dark accent coat. It worked well. Just a thought for a way to speed up the accent coat process.
Nice!! Yeah that works great.
I'm a professional magician, every year I do a Halloween show which is my specialty Halloween! Next year since I've just discovered your Channel my props on stage are going to be f****** Epic!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 love hearing that
Ah tis a grand portal written in the language of the Dov, well done great crafters!
This is absolutely awesome! Love the scary portal, really get the imagination going about the other side.. You are truly the King and Queen of All Hallows Eve. Too bad it´s only once a year..
This is really magnificent. Awesome job! Love Halloween!!! 🎃
The Portal was so freakn cool! totally inspired me to upgrade our Halloween this year! Thanks for the super great videos!
Wow, I am floored AND a family to boot!
Very creative love these home made projects you guys are awesome, thanks for sharing and the inspiration!!
I lOVE that you guyed used Skyrim’s spells that the player has to fined and achieve, I really love this idea, I will definitely try to make this for my Halloween decorations outside
It looks so freaking amazing I mean imagine if you put that near your door and you need to just walk through the portal and you end up in some sort of like other dimension
Thanks! 😄😄😄
Pink foam is great- I'm a theatrical carpenter, and did a production of Matilda the Musical once: 2300+ pink foam books on a set that was basically all shelves.
Awesome!!! We want to try books soon!
@@WickedMakers a round over bit on the edges and a v bit to make the "bend" in the cover really sells it! We glue foam to itself or to other things with 3M contact adhesive (we call it green glue cause we buy the green stuff to make sure we have full coverage). It's great- you paint both sides, wait for it to try, and then have ONE SHOT to stick it together, but once it's together, it's going nowhere.
This makes me want to decorate my whole lawn. Awesome video and product.
Beautiful work guys. Absolutely amazing!

I want to go to your house for Halloween

@@ColoRadio6996 wouldn't the fog interfere with the Projection!!
Omg imaging the did that and when you walk through they built like a room on the other side with some wood and it was like a spooky hide out
This is so cool! The gate definitely goes on my "want to build when I live in a house"- list 😁
😄😄😄😄
This looks really elaborate but is surprisingly simple at its core.
I also appreciate you could have your projector sitting in your home window to prevent thieves.
And since all the power you need would be for LEDs that don’t take much you could easily install some covert solar panels.
I have gone through holographic 3D portals and at attractions and you can actually phase through it and see it from every angel plus you can see a inner dimensional thing on the inside, it was awesome and so is yours!
That sounds awesome!!
Holy crap this looks incredible. Definitely doesn't look like foam 😱
I loveeee this!!!!! So creative!! Thanks for showing us every step of the way it really helped also I like how the house next to you guys looks completely normal lol. Like it's not even Halloween at all according to your neighbors but your house looks spectacular.
sand inside the base you can just pour out when you are done with the prop.. Great video!
Great video, guys!!! Two things your video reminds me from This is Spinal Tap, Derek Smalls "bass bass or double bass" on Big Bottom, and the 7 inch stone henge.
Ok, now I was wanting to build a gateway, now I have too. Not this year. Next season. This was undescribable, perfect, and just awesome to the max. I love it. Great job guys.
Thank you!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼😄
This is AMAZING. I now challenge you to do a full-scale Stargate...
Yes!!!
That rotates.
I was thinking the same thing
That's so funny. I was researching a diy Stargate for my alien Halloween build this year and decided this technique will work. I'll try to remember to come back and post a link to my finished product when I'm done in a few months.
@@benjaminpayne3005 PLEASE do, I'd love to see that!
Guys that's awesome definitely gonna do this here in the uk
i had an idea- maybe put a slit in the material so that you could actually walk through - i just dont know if it would affect the projection too badly.
Insane well play !
“Dark portal” huh? Looks an awful lot like an Oblivion Gate©.
I thought of the Stargate 🤣
Nah thats dragon language from skyrim, should have used a different language. Just my opinion.......
@@Goz86 yeah skyrim immediately popped into my head
Yeh it’s using dovazul (dragon tongue) for the runes lol
Oblivion? see this, Porta Alchemica: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porta_Alchemica
You could use dowels or kabob sticks for extra strength in your joints. as well, if you needed it.
Yep good call
That is absolutely amazing! I think I need to get started on one for next Halloween!
This would be in my living room year round. Who needs a tv when you have a gateway to the Negaverse?
Right?! 🤣🤣🤣
Love your channel and the effort you put into making Halloween incredible. But, I would love to see a summary at the end of the data of your builds. Things like Total Hours Spent on Project, Total Cost of Project, Space Needed to Store Project and Alternatives to Shown Techniques (like using a dense ball of aluminum foil to roll across foam to give a texture instead of a heat gun) would be great additions to your videos. Any, love the content and I'll certainly keep watching.
Thank you! Those are great ideas.
Totally hooked. You guys are amazing with mad talent.
soooo much awesome. LOVE. Thanks for doing guys.
That’s funny. Used to use the tooth picks and glue trick when I was a kid in the 70’s making action figure play sets out of styrofoam packing materials. Good times.
Love what you two make. Really everything I’ve seen. One thing you really need to purchase a Hot Wire Kit. You’ll eliminate mess and a sharp cut. Again I love everything.
Thank you! 😄
add a rail smoke emitter at the bottom and slit the fabric so you can walk out it.
I rebuild it for Halloween this Year.
Turnt out realy well....thanks for the Inspiration. Cant wait for Halloween next Weekend to put this in my Garden.
Love from Austria....
The symbols looked familiar and then I was like, Is that Skyrim? Skyrim is my favorite game
Where did you get the image for the projection, I can't find it.
I love it. Must make it an actual walk-thru. Cut a slit in the middle of the fabric or try a fog machine. ❤
Great project guys! You gave me some great inspiration for next year. I've used the foam for tombstones also, but the portal idea is truly NEXT LEVEL!
😄😄😄
Hands down my very favorite episode from you guys! Well done and your portal is massive.
"Portal to uuhh the Nether realms!"
Me: THEY SAID IT THEY SAID THE THING
Wow why did I just discovered this channel!!’ I need a tour of all your decorated garden!!
😄😄😄
Just beautiful work guys! Thank you for sharing the build steps. Inspirational!
Thanks!!
Génial, j'adore l'effet pierre, j'aimerais avoir cela
Easily the coolest Halloween concept prop I have seen any year, let alone 2020. You can expect to be copied by manufacturers.
Thank you! 👊🏼💀
This is, without question, the single coolest prop I've ever seen made on TH-cam!
Thanks! That’s awesome. 👊🏼💀
Nice weathering effect.
I love how everything they make can be easily taken apart, so you don’t need as much storage space
This is absolutely fricken awesome. I wish I could have yall for neighbors. Happy haunting. Please keep posting awesome content.
Hey guys, I’ve been obsessed with your videos! Set design was something I wanted to get into this year and videos like these are so clear and concise, that it makes learning a lot easier 🙏🏾.
I was wondering how many days does a project like this take? And is there a schedule you guys followed for each step?
WOW. Awesome looking.
I love how you guys used the writings from Skyrim! My all time favorite game.
Hi, I’m doing this, what projector did you use? My house has columns so I’m gonna make it the portal
sheesh this is actually good it really gets me into the halloween spirit
I don't know what kind of learned skills were applied here or if this was just a think it, let's do it inspiration; but, wow! Top notch DIY creation. You guys put in some seriously excellent attention to details such as ease of assembly, the ballast issue and knockdown for storage. Well done!👌👍👏
Wow! I wish I could make this for my Halloween display this year! Awesome!
