Everyone seems to forget about the Creature when thinking of classic monsters. He was the one that creeped me out the most as a kid watching Creature Double Feature. As usual, great job.
I've always loved the creature. His suit blew me away Thanks for the Monster Squad creature / Wang build shout-out. It was freaking awesome. We watch that movie every Halloween season.
Agreed. I think the issue is the Creature doesn't make as much sense outside of his setting. Dracula, the werewolf, even the Mummy can show up in different locations or cities. But if you met the Creature at a museum, you'd be confused.
I love this. I have a Creepy Tiki bar (Hauntwaii) on my deck with a small pond next to it. I want to put a creature bust and hands coming up over the edge of the deck but couldn't find anything affordable. Now maybe I'll try to make my own!
I love all the work you are doing with LocTite! It’s so accessible for folks who may not be able to invest in clay and plaster but want to make cool stuff. The creature and this bust is a favorite! Love it and thanks for the shout out! Xoxo my spooky friends! ❤
It's actually awesome that you posted this. After your last Werewolf mask, I decided I was going to attempt making a head form, and trying my hand at sculpting a mask/bust using this method. I was going to attempt Swamp Thing because the design is less specific, and a little more forgiving if I l'm not completely accurate. The Creature isn't exactly the same thing, but it's not far off!! This is so great. I sincerely love your content.
I wrap my armatures before I start sculpting, but it's not because I don't want the armature to get dirty, it's because it makes demolding easier. Rather than having to break suction between the clay, the mold, and the armature on both sides of the mold, I only have to get the back half of the mold off, then dig through the clay and slice the wrapping (I use duct tape over my plastic wrap) to "deglove" the sculpture from the armature without having to fight the vacuum.
this makes a lot of sense, I just never liked sculpting over the plastic, but I totally get that point.....you could even inflate the bag to pop the mold....I might try that.
Creature from the Black Lagoon scared the dickens out me when I was a wee lass!! Still watched Double Creature Feature every Saturday 🥴🤣🤣 Brilliant work! I watched the black and whites then the coloured ones came out! YIKES
Ohhhhh snap! You had me at Gillman! Soooo good! Could I pretty please grab a link for your long ginsu knife? We just lost Ricou too but he was 92 I believe. His underwater scenes are still amazing to this day.
Amazing as always. I'm very glad to hear your the Owner now. I'll gladly buy tickets knowing I can't make it this year. Someday I will...it's on my bucket list.❤
First off- I absolutely love the Creature! What a fantastic sculpt! Secondly, you may have tried this already, but I wanted a thinner strip from the foam earlier this week, so I took a cake decorating tip and hot glued it to the end of the straw (making sure not to cover the hole). Before I started, I thought it might shoot off of there like a rocket, but to my surprise, it held fast and gave me a much thinner bead to sculpt with. Just an idea you might want to play around with (if you haven't already)! Anyway, you never cease to amaze me- fantastic video!
I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now. I have never used spray foam as an art form, but I think I'm ready. It has all been in preparation for a Gilbert and Sullivan opera. I am performing, but I am also handling the sets. I have watched and watched, and now I hope I'm ready to try my first mushroom. I just wanted to thank you for sharing these techniques and giving us, as a fledgling opera company with almost no money, a way to create the extra to take our performance over the top!!! We are doing Iolanthe, which gives me the opportunity to create mushrooms, flowers.....a fairy forest! Thanks again.
He's BEAUTIFUL, Mr H! You've done honor to one of my all time favorite movie monsters; I've loved them for over 60 years. I've always found the Creature to be beautiful...as is the creature created for Guillermo Del Toro's marvelous "The Shape Of Water". I have the big book published by the Stan Winston shop about the history of their works, and there's a lot in it about their monster for "Pumpkinhead". Brilliant work, Mr H. I have an excellent mask of the Creature Of The Black Lagoon, and another of Jack Pierce's original Karloff Frankenstein monster in my studio, on stands. I think they're gorgeous...always have. To me, the old classics are beautiful, not horrifying. Wonderful stuff. You've made a truly great sculpture of beloved Creature here. Very well done! And you're one hell of a sculptor..a lot better than you think you are! All the best to you, sir. Thank you.
Omg. Love watching you work. Me and my grandson just found your channel he absolutely loves it been watching for 2 hours straight. He Loves your wolf he said werewolf because that's his favorite and the pond monster he calls it, your fabulous, keep on keeping on. I'm speechless. Loving everything you make, 😊
WOWZERS- Whoever wins that bust has possession of a gem. With the right case, backdrop and lighting....That would look amazing ALL year long. and just knowing that Allen H made it? Well It just doesn't get any better than that.
WOOOOOW!!!!! Watching this wonderful video was as mesmerizing as reading an hot off the presses issue of FAMOUS MONSTERS when I was a wee monster... Thanks for that sir.🤘🤘🤘🍻
I love the entire piece, the build, shaping, painting, etc, etc. I stumbled across your TH-cam site during one of my chemo sessions, glad I did. I'm 67 years old, and the "Creature" is one of my favorites. A friend of my family's, had a hobby shop (this was 1960's through the 1970's). among the things he sold were classic monsters, the creature, Frankenstein's monster, werewolf, each set in a scene from their respective movie sets. Great job
Absolutely love the creature bust love seeing the classic monster that made horror film history I absolutely love your creation on the Creature from the black lagoon
I was born in 56 and I remember watching the creature of the Black Lagoon and I just love that movie and I’ve seen it a few times since. I don’t know what it was about it but it’s one of those you really remember and you did a great job on the sculpture.
😮😮😮😮!!! This is the most neato of your canned creepos, maestro!! 😮😮😮I love it!! Ol Blacky is tops in my book. I love rivers, especially San Marcos, and the Creature is one of the reasons why. I remember getting a CFTBL aquarium decoration from Perry's discount 5 and Dime way back when. I didn't have an aquarium but I loved the creature And I took him everywhere on every back seat road trip to the point he broke In the middle and my grandmother put a folded paper towel and stuck in the middle and iViola! He became an instant Action figure😊 thank you sir, for another fun FRIDAYNIGHT/ TH-cam WEDNESDAY 😀 👍
@StiltbeastStudios Thank you sir🥲 You, your work, your channel and your.studenst and your employees are absolutely the most. Amazing stuff of all time!! You work magic that goes beyond the fantastic things you do daiy!!
Hey, Allen! As you know, The Wolfman's woman's name is Gwen (my name) and the name of the boat in The Creature from the Black Lagoon is Rita (my sister's name). So, both those movies are family favorites. Btw, you probably have no idea that your videos are great to crochet by. I'm not sure if it's your voice or what. But, I've worked some serious amount of stitches while watching. Thank you!
Amazing job!! The creature brings back so many good memories of being young and watching monster movies!. Godzilla was my favorite and the creatire was a tight second place. Im jot a sculptor by any atretch of the imagination but its cool to see you make that out of such an everyday inexpensive product. Great job!!
I love it! Very quickly I could see the bones of creature- and it's spray foam- that's incredibly impressive. Creature is my favorite Universal monster- with a very close second and sometimes even tied to Invisible Man. Creature is a true wonder of creature design and special effects that is still impressive some seventy years later.
My all time favorite Hollywood monster. I have an autographed picture of Ricou Browning who was the underwater creature. Unfortunately he passed away this past Feb. He was the last of the original cast.
I love how you make stuff with things we have or can get around here. Your one I love to follow because I know we don’t need to go get a loan to make stuff. LOL I’m in need of about a 24 inch Jack o lantern pumpkin head so wish me luck. Thanks for sharing.
Swampishly Fantastic!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 I've just discovered your channel recently and your are absolutely impressive! Motivating and inspiring too!!! Now on to "Make Stuff "!💚
I love the creature, its a classic! Im doing a haunted forest/ garden/swampy type area and he will be perfect along with my man eating plants and vines! I absolutely love your videos! I get all my good ideas from you!
Because of you, ive been doing alot more things with the spray foam. I made the basic rounded head of the man eating plants with the foam. I got 3 full plants with one can, compared to 1 plant with the foam pumpkins most people use. Their sturdy and im still not done! Love skulpting stuff with the spray foam though. Works great!
I gotta say im a subscriber after seeing this badass figure. Absolutely love this creature from the black lagoon and this is perfect for diy situations. I wish i could see every home version following this process!
no, the gills are inside and internal organ- they have a specific name I did not bother to recall until someone incorrectly corrected me. they are called operculum. the bony plates that protect and cover the gills. it just wasn't necessary to name them, till someone did it incorrectly I suppose.
This looks so cool i really wish i could do stuff like this but cant find loctite foam in the Netherlands for some reason but atleast i can watch you make these amazing things
My favorite monster. Alan, that was an amazing sculpt. It could not have been better. Hope you have huge crowds at your haunt. Tis the season! Oh, I am hoping you had a good time in Greeley with Ed, Marsha, and his lordship, the Jordu.
The Creature from the Black Lagoon was the first monster movie I remember watching when I was a kid. It was the reason I love horror and monster movies today.
Hey man, that is really good. You did a great job on it and the eyes Look really good they look like the original ones. I saw this movie on television we only had a black-and-white TV and one time it came out you could go to a convenient store a certain convenient store and if you bought a Fountain drink they would give you some 3-D glasses so you can watch it on television in your own home 3-D that’s way before we even had 50 inch TVs
I liked the Creature, but my favorite is also the werewolf I always wanted to do the wolfman (L. Chaney Jr.) since I was a kid. In '85 I went through 7 hrs (ok beer breaks) I had an artist friend help out.. I'd share a pic but don't know how on here.... it was fun on Halloween.. took 1st place at a contest that night.
Thats awesome Allen. Here's a quick tidbit the Chapman family told me a few years back: The Creature suit made Ben Chapman break out in a rash all over his body especially under his arms and private parts. So much so that he had to be submerged in the Lagoon to keep the suit wet. Seems he had a Latex allergy. Man I would love to have one of these in my collection 😎
FINALLY! I’ve been scouring the internet looking for someone using spray foam as a sculpting medium like this, but most videos, it is used only as a structural support(or it’s left lumpy). I’ve been wondering if this is possible and wanting to start doing this myself. Your pieces are amazing!!
Everyone seems to forget about the Creature when thinking of classic monsters. He was the one that creeped me out the most as a kid watching Creature Double Feature. As usual, great job.
yeah, I love him!
Yea.....had nightmares about the Creature!..............scared the crap out of me!!..........still scary!!
I've always loved the creature. His suit blew me away
Thanks for the Monster Squad creature / Wang build shout-out. It was freaking awesome. We watch that movie every Halloween season.
Creature Double feature?!?!?! Memories. Let's not forget Dr Shock! He was from the Philadelphia viewing area.
Agreed. I think the issue is the Creature doesn't make as much sense outside of his setting. Dracula, the werewolf, even the Mummy can show up in different locations or cities. But if you met the Creature at a museum, you'd be confused.
I love this. I have a Creepy Tiki bar (Hauntwaii) on my deck with a small pond next to it. I want to put a creature bust and hands coming up over the edge of the deck but couldn't find anything affordable. Now maybe I'll try to make my own!

its so simple, I was totally done with this in a few hours. its an amazing medium!
I would love more videos using this spray foam to make horror busts! This came out amazing!!!
Glad you enjoy this! More to come!
It's actually awesome that you posted this. After your last Werewolf mask, I decided I was going to attempt making a head form, and trying my hand at sculpting a mask/bust using this method. I was going to attempt Swamp Thing because the design is less specific, and a little more forgiving if I l'm not completely accurate. The Creature isn't exactly the same thing, but it's not far off!! This is so great. I sincerely love your content.
Did you try it? How did it come out?
swamp thing is actually on my list- I have a few to do before him!
I wrap my armatures before I start sculpting, but it's not because I don't want the armature to get dirty, it's because it makes demolding easier. Rather than having to break suction between the clay, the mold, and the armature on both sides of the mold, I only have to get the back half of the mold off, then dig through the clay and slice the wrapping (I use duct tape over my plastic wrap) to "deglove" the sculpture from the armature without having to fight the vacuum.
this makes a lot of sense, I just never liked sculpting over the plastic, but I totally get that point.....you could even inflate the bag to pop the mold....I might try that.
Creature from the Black Lagoon scared the dickens out me when I was a wee lass!! Still watched Double Creature Feature every Saturday 🥴🤣🤣 Brilliant work! I watched the black and whites then the coloured ones came out! YIKES
Sounds like you had a great childhood!
Funny how you just happen to have a pair of “eyeballs” in your drawer! Only a monster maker…
Love it!
I have 2 drawers labeled eyeballs lol. I make a lot of stuff.
Ohhhhh snap! You had me at Gillman! Soooo good! Could I pretty please grab a link for your long ginsu knife? We just lost Ricou too but he was 92 I believe. His underwater scenes are still amazing to this day.

That is amazing!! Just watching you sculpt and mold all these fantastic projects into reality is mind blowing.
I love making monsters!
Amazing as always. I'm very glad to hear your the Owner now. I'll gladly buy tickets knowing I can't make it this year. Someday I will...it's on my bucket list.❤
Can't wait to see you! Thank you for watching, and taking the time to comment! Go Make Stuff!
First off- I absolutely love the Creature! What a fantastic sculpt! Secondly, you may have tried this already, but I wanted a thinner strip from the foam earlier this week, so I took a cake decorating tip and hot glued it to the end of the straw (making sure not to cover the hole). Before I started, I thought it might shoot off of there like a rocket, but to my surprise, it held fast and gave me a much thinner bead to sculpt with. Just an idea you might want to play around with (if you haven't already)! Anyway, you never cease to amaze me- fantastic video!
very cool idea- I think people are just starting to explore what you can do with this medium!
some people spend hundreds and end up with something that doesn't look half as good as this, that was a really great
Im glad you liked it, that foam is an amazing material.
SO DAMN FUN!! My FAVORITE Universal Creature!! Great job! Now I wanna try!!
you should try, go make stuff!
AMAZING! One of my favourite Saturday night scary movies from childhood! I want him! 🤗
there is a way you have a chance to get him.....and Im glad you like him!
WOW!!! Pumpkinhead!!! One of my favorite monster movies also.
he is awesome!

very cool, let me know how they turned out! go make stuff!
So awesome to watch you brother! You’ve inspired our family to make our own costume creations this Halloween!
That is awesome!
You did such an amazing job with that. You definitely brought out the essence of the creature from the black lagoon. Time to turn that into a mask 😊
I may do that in the future!
Oh my gosh. He looks great !!!
Awesome, Go make stuff!
You got really decent results out of this. It makes me think there's more potential for creating more sophisticated forms with this method.
As soon as sculptors better than me pick it up, I am sure we will all be amazed.
Creature from the Black Lagoon is my favorite Universal Monster. This is cool!
This is not only gorgeous, but impressive! You did great with the low lights and high. They blended beautifully.
Glad you liked it!! Thanks for commenting!
@@StiltbeastStudios❤❤

King Kong and Creature are my favorite Silver screen screams!
Just amazing to see it come together so fast - you make it look easy! I always love how you surprise yourself with the results too !🤓
its amazing to me that there was a monster hiding in that can!
That is an awesome Gilman bust, well done Mr. Hopps.

Wow! Your best creation I've seen yet.
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
I'm with you on my favorite Universal Monsters The Wolfman is my #1 Monster too and the Creature is #2
I love it! Very quickly I could see the bones of creature- and it's spray foam- that's incredibly impressive. Creature is my favorite Universal monster- with a very close second and sometimes even tied to Invisible Man. Creature is a true wonder of creature design and special effects that is still impressive some seventy years later.
its an amazing material, I think this type of work will help me be a better sculptor in the future. you have to love the creature!
That's really cool. When I was a kid, I loved the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Reminds me of Saturday afternoons.
Awesome, Im glad this sparked some joy for you!
My all time favorite Hollywood monster. I have an autographed picture of Ricou Browning who was the underwater creature. Unfortunately he passed away this past Feb. He was the last of the original cast.
Very nice! My grandson "G" loves making horror heads so this is awesome , will make sure I share it!
Thanks G!
I love how you make stuff with things we have or can get around here.
Your one I love to follow because I know we don’t need to
go get a loan to make stuff. LOL
I’m in need of about a 24 inch Jack o lantern pumpkin head so wish me luck.
Thanks for sharing.
Go make stuff!
Awesome! The Creature is in my top 3 Universal Monsters. Good luck with the haunt season!

and then it started looking cool lol.
Talent that’s all there is to say from a can of spray to that is just mind blowing
Thank you for watching! Go Make Stuff!
Heck yeah, pure perfection
not perfect, but passable!
Wow that's awesome. I love the Creature

I love watching your videos, and the fact that all these props etc are very do able (i.e. you don't need a lot of special tool etc)
Glad you like them! I try to keep them easily achievable!
Sir, I've said it before: You are an amazing artist!
Practice practice practice! Go Make Stuff!
Coolest thing I’ve ever seen made out of Loctite

The creature from the black lagoon was my favourite movie growing up
I have always loved it!
I love the creature andhe does not get enough love at all. that is so awesomelly cool.
glad you like the video!
Looks so real..love it
someone out there will try making a sprayfoam girlfriend...
I need to get a Siri to set times like that. It still impresses me years later how on top of things it keeps you!
Alexa has been a blessing around the shop for that very reason.
Awesome sculpt sir! Love it!
Thanks a bunch!
I love the creature, its a classic! Im doing a haunted forest/ garden/swampy type area and he will be perfect along with my man eating plants and vines! I absolutely love your videos! I get all my good ideas from you!
Because of you, ive been doing alot more things with the spray foam. I made the basic rounded head of the man eating plants with the foam. I got 3 full plants with one can, compared to 1 plant with the foam pumpkins most people use. Their sturdy and im still not done! Love skulpting stuff with the spray foam though. Works great!
Thats great to hear! Keep at it, and keep making stuff!
You’re amazing. The creature is my favorite monster. Thanxx
i think Im doing Frankenstein next
That looks really good! If I saw that in a shop somewhere, I'd think it was the real deal!
Thank you!! It was a fun project- and thank you for tuning into the channel.
That turned out so amazing!! I knew that one would look awesome with the detail!! So cool!!
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Go make stuff!
Wow,Alan! This is fantastic. ❤
so glad you liked the video!
REALLY GREAT JOB YOU DID MAN
I gotta say im a subscriber after seeing this badass figure. Absolutely love this creature from the black lagoon and this is perfect for diy situations. I wish i could see every home version following this process!
we have a group on FB called stiltbeast live creepers- lots of people show the work they do there! and thanks for commenting and subscribing.
I’m sure the “side fins” are technically called Gills which is why the lagoon monster can breathe under water.
no, the gills are inside and internal organ- they have a specific name I did not bother to recall until someone incorrectly corrected me. they are called operculum. the bony plates that protect and cover the gills. it just wasn't necessary to name them, till someone did it incorrectly I suppose.
That is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen you make 👍💖
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
Awesome. I am going to have to try this soon. I love the bust. It would be interesting to see what all else you can do with this stuff
do it! I will be doing more pieces so I can learn its limits.
Nice job! It looks just like the movies.
it just would float too much for a movie lol.
This looks so cool i really wish i could do stuff like this but cant find loctite foam in the Netherlands for some reason but atleast i can watch you make these amazing things
My favorite monster. Alan, that was an amazing sculpt. It could not have been better.
Hope you have huge crowds at your haunt. Tis the season! Oh, I am hoping you had a good time in Greeley with Ed, Marsha, and his lordship, the Jordu.
monster day is always great- I dont think Jordu made it this year though.
Wow! He’s beautiful! Head bust in a can! You always make amazing stuff! Thank you for making this video incredible job as always!❤🤘🏻🎃🤘🏻💀
Thank you very much! Anyone can do it with a bit of practice!
The Creature from the Black Lagoon was the first monster movie I remember watching when I was a kid. It was the reason I love horror and monster movies today.
it plays a pivotal role in horror movies for sure!
Awesome as always 🎉
you are awesome, thanks for commenting!
Hey man, that is really good. You did a great job on it and the eyes Look really good they look like the original ones. I saw this movie on television we only had a black-and-white TV and one time it came out you could go to a convenient store a certain convenient store and if you bought a Fountain drink they would give you some 3-D glasses so you can watch it on television in your own home 3-D that’s way before we even had 50 inch TVs
good times for sure!
Dude, you got mad skills!
I'm sure you do as well! Go Make Stuff!
Awesome Creature bust. Allan Hoops yer the Monster Man.😂🎉

I liked the Creature, but my favorite is also the werewolf I always wanted to do the wolfman (L. Chaney Jr.) since I was a kid. In '85 I went through 7 hrs (ok beer breaks) I had an artist friend help out.. I'd share a pic but don't know how on here.... it was fun on Halloween.. took 1st place at a contest that night.
wolfman is my go to as far as costumes go!
Thats awesome Allen. Here's a quick tidbit the Chapman family told me a few years back:
The Creature suit made Ben Chapman break out in a rash all over his body especially under his arms and private parts. So much so that he had to be submerged in the Lagoon to keep the suit wet. Seems he had a Latex allergy.
Man I would love to have one of these in my collection 😎
thats....terrible.
@@StiltbeastStudios Yep. Poor guy. I miss Ben terribly. Such a gentle giant 🙏
Really freaking awesome
thanks for commenting!
FINALLY! I’ve been scouring the internet looking for someone using spray foam as a sculpting medium like this, but most videos, it is used only as a structural support(or it’s left lumpy). I’ve been wondering if this is possible and wanting to start doing this myself. Your pieces are amazing!!
Glad it was helpful!
That’s was neat. Thanks for sharing!
